You Forgot Something...

I have many fans. I mean of course I do, I'm Dave motherfucking Strider. There was something different about this one though. He had messy black hair that poked out at weird angles. His dark skin complemented his red eyes so well…. Wait hold up a second, did I just say red eyes? God dammit Strider, get a fucking grip of yourself. Nobody else has red eyes except you, never have, never will. This guy probably came out of a dream or something, but he sure as hell wasn't real.

…

So there I was at another movie premier. God, these things are boring, but I have to do it for the fans. I had just taken my 100th photo with a fan when I saw him. The messy hair, and those unmistakable red eyes. He looked so uncomfortable, and was standing next to pretty girl with black hair. It seems to me he was just her company. Damn, I should have known he was taken! But maybe, just maybe he wasn't and that was his sister. Yeah, let's go with sister. I walk up to him, ignoring the hundreds of fan girls calling my name. Oh god, what do I say? "Hey…." I wait for him to answer back, but all he does is stare at me with a peculiar look. "How do you like the premier so far!" I practically had to shout over all the screams from everyone. He just stayed there, quietly starring at me. I honestly didn't know what else to say. Finally he said, "Fuck off." "Karkitty, you can't say that to Dave Strider," the girl said in a scolding tone. "Karkitty. Well…. That's an interesting name." "THAT'S NOT MY FUCKING NAME, DUMBASS!" Damn, I really pissed him off. "So then what's your name," I tried again. Again nothing but his stoic position and an obvious look of discomfort. "Umm…. If you like. Want to go somewhere where it's less crowded?" God, that was so awkward. It's silent for what seems to be hours, when he finally says, "Why would I go somewhere with a pretentious bastard like you?" There it was. My heart broke into a thousand pieces, at least before the girl spoke again. "Oh please Karkat. Can we go? It's not every day Dave Strider invites you to go somewhere with him." "But Jade… he's a cocky Dick, just like all the others. Besides he didn't say you could go, so why bother?" So I should invite the girl, huh? "Um… your girlfriend can come if she wants." It literally hurt to say the word girlfriend, but I was cheered up by hearing the girl, (Jade was it?) laugh. "Oh god no. We are not together. For goodness sake he's my brother. And of course we'd love to go with you, right Kitty?" "Yeah, yeah… And I told you to stop calling me fucking Kitty." No matter how annoyed he sounded, I couldn't help but notice the small smirk that was placed on his face. It made him look so sexy. I called John, my bodyguard, over. "Yo Egbert, my man, do me a favor and escort these two fine people to my hotel room, and do inform the Rose I'm leaving. We don't want another repeat of Rose gone wild, do we?" (Rose is my amazing PA who takes her job way to seriously. But to be honest that's why I love her.) "Yeah you're definitely right. I had nightmares for weeks…," John said shaking away his shivers. "Ok bro, I'll see you at the car in about ten minutes." I honestly didn't know if I could even wait that long. I really hope this guy warms up to me. After saying a quick goodbye to everyone, and receiving a small rant from Rose, I got to the car. Jade is on the left, and Karkat is in the middle. I couldn't stop staring at him, he just looked so damn cute, pouting like a four year old. "What are you staring at? Am I in your fucking seat? Do you want me to move, 'cause honestly I'm pretty damn comfortable." Jade was rolling her eyes, obviously annoyed by her brother's attitude. "No, um, I guess I was just daydreaming or something," I couldn't help the small smirk that came across my face. The hotel was only five minutes away, but it felt like an eternity. There was no talking, and it was honestly a bit awkward, but I knew everything would be better once we got to my room. When we got to the room, they were both surprised by how I did not have the pent room. "What, just because I'm rich doesn't mean I have to have the best room." I could've sworn I saw a smile keep across Karat's face, which was perfect. I quickly turned around to hide my impending blush. "Welcome to la temporary casa Strider." "Gosh you're such a dork," Karkat muttered under his breath. "OMG, I can't believe I'm really here…," was the last thing we heard Jade say before she fainted. As Karkat caught her I couldn't notice how strong he was. That was a good mental note to save for later. "Maybe we," he said nodding at Jade, "should just go." Crap, I couldn't let this boy leave, at least not yet. "NO!" He looked appalled at my aggressive tone, and honestly, I was too. "I mean why don't you stay here a little while… at least until Jade wakes up?" "Er…um yeah… sure what the hell, why not?" I couldn't help the small blush and smile that crept across my face. After a silent minutes, I said, "So… um…I guess you don't like me then…" I didn't want to sound like I was pushing it, but I wanted to know. "Um….It's not that, it's just Jade is all I have, and to see an arrogant prat just come to try and take her away," he shook his head his voice wavering a bit. I reassured him by saying, "It's ok, I understand. Trust me, I have no romantic interest in your sister." "Then why did you invite us to your hotel room?" Shit, how do I cover this up? "Erm… you just looked so uncomfortable, and I don't like for my fans to be uncomfortable…" Karat then blushed so furiously I had to try really hard to keep my swoon just on the inside. Man, this kid was really cute. "Actually, I've never seen one of your movies before…" he whispered. "Then we should definitely change that." I walked over the couch, and gingerly motioned for him to do the same. He sat a good three feet away, which was to much. I then proceeded to stream my best movie, To a Stranger. As the movie went on and on, we started to drift closer. At the scene where I, Benjamin, first kiss Mark, we were joined at the hip. At the scene where Ben and Mark first have sex, his head was resting on my shoulder. Finally at the end, when Ben promises to come back to Mark and they share their final kiss, I couldn't help but notice we were holding hands. Also I saw something in his eyes. Was that a hint of jealousy? The movie was over, and all Karkat could manage to say was, "That was….amazing." "Really… well you know I acted that all by myself… every scene." "Ha, no shit, Sherlock," he said with the hint of a smirk and a whole lot of sarcasm. Our faces were getting closer and closer, until we were just centimeters apart. Suddenly we heard a small moan. "Mmmmm…Karkat?" It was Jade. Man, that girl sure had timing on her side, good and bad. "Yeah, we're leaving." No… He can't just leave, I mean we haven't even kissed yet. My body had finally caught up to my brain, when I finally started running towards him. I was able to reach him just before he entered the elevator. I swiftly grabbed his hand, forcing him to turn around. I saw a small smile appear on his face, just for a second, when he saw it was me. "You forgot something," I lamely said. "No I did…" He was about to protest, when I suddenly crashed our lips together. This was no ordinary desperate, sloppy kiss; no this was like no other kiss I'd ever experienced. It was slow, passionate, and full of longing, much like what you watch in rom-coms. We finally pulled apart, our faces flushed, and our breaths raged. I got out a piece of paper, wrote my number, the name of a restaurant, a date, and a time. "See you soon…. Kitty," I said as I winked at him.
