skate 2

Summary:

karkat just wants to watch a movie on the tv. alone, in peace. yet here he finds himself walking in, thinking everyones gone, to find dave *still* playing skate 2 on the tv.

it had officially been 4 hours. why. what the hell is so great about it? well actually this game might be the best thing karkat could've hoped for as it helps him get a boyfriend.

Notes:

something a little short after my 5+1 yesterday 😓 still hoping to get more opinions on it 'cuz i know the pacing was a little weird

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

HOW MUCH FUCKING LONGER DO YOU INSIST ON PLAYING THIS GLITCHY MESS OF A GAME

what no shut up

skate 2 is awesome

you can hit a sick kickflip with the majestic glow of the sun beaming down on you

. . .

sick right

NOT THE WORDS I WOULD USE

INFACT I WOULD INSTEAD SAY

I DON’T GIVE A SHIT. WHEN ARE YOU LEAVING?

i just got on

YOU’VE BEEN PLAYING FOR 4 HOURS

I HAVE BEEN COUNTING

EVERYONE ELSE IS SLEEPING BY NOW

thats just my 4 hour long warmup

real gaming starts now

WELL THEN JUST LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU’RE LEAVING SINCE I’M NOT STICKING AROUND TO WATCH THIS PATHETIC DISPLAY OF BORING GAME MECHANICS AS YOU ATTEMPT SKATING

no cmon man

stay

what else do you have to do

MMHGRGRHMRG

WHATEVER

cool

i can teach you to do an ollie

AND WHAT HAVE I SAID THAT MAKES YOU THINK I WOULD EVER WANT TO PLAY THIS

youve been eyeing my controller for the past 5 minutes

i counted

FUCK YOU

I SEMI-ENJOY WATCHING YOUR HAND MOVEMENTS

then why dont you learn them yourself

IT’S NICER JUST WATCHING YOU DO IT, HONESTLY

cool

if you change your mind just say

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

. . .

is something up

why are you looking at me like that

LIKE WHAT

i dont know what it is you wanna say to me man

but either say it or stop looking at me funny

or are you trying to throw me off my game right now

I’D ACTUALLY PREFER TO THROW YOU OUT OF THE ENTIRE ROOM SO I CAN GET A SINGLE MOMENT OF SILENCE

surely that isnt what you wanted to say

NO BUT RIGHT NOW ISNT A GOOD TIME TO START CONFESSING SHIT

confessing shit

FUCK

I GUESS

NO YEAH

IT’D BE A CONFESSION

of what

ARE YOU GOING TO STOP PRYING

youve already gone this far in why stop now

what dark and mysterious secret is karkat vantas going to confess to me

UGH FUCK

OK FOR SOME UNEXPLAINABLE AND ANNOYING REASON

I HAVE AN IRRITATING AND PERSISTENT PART OF ME THAT REALLY WANTS TO KISS YOU

oh

just like a smooch or like full dating boyfriend marriage shit

I’M GOING TO ASSUME THIS MEANS ‘KISS OR FLUSHED’

yeah i guess

I’M UNDER THE IMPRESSION THAT IT’S JUST A KISS BUT IT PROBABLY FUCKING ISN’T KNOWING MY TRACK RECORD WITH SHITTY QUADRANT EXPERIENCES

who said this one has to be shitty

WHAT?

WHAT ARE YOU INSINUATING HERE, DAVE

something

SOMETHING LIKE??

something kinda gay

SO..???

flushed

sort of

i don’t know what flushed feels like

i assumed it was just in love but you guys got your platonic bro love stuff

MOIRAILS.

yeah brorails

but like its not actually that platonic

not by humans standards at least

HUH

OKAY

SO

YOU’RE POSSIBLY FLUSHED FOR ME BUT YOU AREN’T SURE

yeah

again i dont know what being flushed is actually supposed to be like

and does it even need a quadrant really

if youre just saying that you want to kiss me but it might be something more

AND YOU’RE SAYING?

open to the idea

very open of the idea

SO YOU’RE..??

whatever you would consider flushed i guess

maybe

I SEE.

SO YOU

WANT TO KISS ME???

OR AM I READING THIS WRONG

FUCK YOUR STUPID HUMAN ROMANCE AND NOT UNDERSTANDINGS OF THE QUADANTS

nah thats right

OH

SO DO YOU WANNA-

yeah but ive almost landed this hold on

why did they make this combination of buttons so hard to hit at the same time

gonna have my hands cramping up in a minute

. . .

no fuck it

this idiot isnt gonna stick the landing

YOU ARE AN IDIOT

CAN I PUT ON MY MOVIE NOW

sure

is that all you plan on doing right now

WANT ME TO CHECK MY SCHEDULE?

yeah actually

might be something important youre forgetting about

something that was due to happen like 2 minutes ago

HMM. NOTHING IS COMING TO MY MIND

hey you were the one who admitted to it so if you dont want it to happen now then i guess it wont

strider lips are appointment necessary to visit

AND DO I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT?

i think i have an opening in the next week or so

if that fits your time

FUCK OFF

ill put that appointment down as a maybe

ill talk to my receptionist about it

anything else i can help you wit-

. . .

. . .

. . .

ok i just said an appointment was needed

but you just

did that anyway

do you not respect the rules and regulations for the strider lips inc.

CONSIDERING THAT, I THINK AT LEAST, I AM THE ONLY ONE SUPPOSEDLY BOOKING RESERVATIONS, IT DOESN’T MATTER.

SO NO I DO NOT

dang you got me

SO..

DO YOU THINK IT’S FLUSHED?

i think so

what about you

AS MUCH AS I HATE TO ADMIT IT, UNMISTAKABLY FLUSHED.

ouch

but cool

thats cool

so what are we like boyfriends now or something

do you guys always say matesprits or is there other words

IT’S MOSTLY MATESPRITS

BUT BOYFRIENDS WORKS TOO

I DON’T REALLY CARE

I JUST KINDA WANNA KISS YOU AGAIN

OR DO YOU STILL INSIST I WAIT UNTIL THAT MAYBE APPOINTMENT NEXT WEEK

we have actually updated the way out business works

no appointments necessary anymore

however you legally cannot refer to skate 2 as a glitchy mess of a game

SERIOUSLY?

as ever

FUCK THEN I DONT KNOW MAYBE THIS WONT WORK

YUP, ALL THE RED FEELINGS ARE GONE NOW

oh so now youre gonna start a blackrom thing with me

you know my stance on those

I THINK YOU SHOULD SHUT UP NOW

if this is blackrom flirting its kind of working

yes sir

THE FUCK DID YOU JUST DO

its

i zipped my mouth and threw the key away

ZIPPERS DON’T HAVE KEYS??

holy shit

. . .

they don’t

how the hell did i never notice

I DON’T KNOW

BUT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY SHUT UP FOR REAL NOW

AND KISS ME AGAIN

fine by me

. . .

. . .

I STILL THINK THE GAME IS A GLITCHY MESS AND A POOR EXCUSE FOR A GAME

and you watch tacky romcoms such as whatever you put on right now

we can debate on this tomorrow because i know you want to

put that anger into this makeout sesh im trying to start though

but not too much anger i keep forgetting your teeth are really sharp

ARE YOU DONE

yes

GOOD. FINALLY.
