alrighty, giving fanfiction a try. I really love homestuck. Exploring the idea of a quad pairing between these guys. Rating M because I'm not sure how detailed I'll get but most likely sex later on. Here goes nothing
Karkat tried to sit comfortably between the awkward space that was John and Dave. His body was rigid as he was unused to the comforting warmth the two bodies radiated that was so similar to his own body temperature due to his blood color. John's arm was over his shoulders, and Dave had his wrapped around his midsection, the seeping warmth relaxed his tense muscles ever so slightly in an irritating coaxing manner to get him to relax. To the right of John sat Davesprite, his long tail encircling everyone loosely on the floor of the cold lab, his hand sneaking behind John's rump to entwine his fingers with Karkat's. Karkat sighed irritably and laid his head down on Dave's shoulder, the one he'd become accustomed to first, before this whole group thing, and succumbed to the peer pressure of the relaxed huddle. Human relationships sure were weird. Even with one person, let alone four fuckasses.
In the beginning, well three human years ago, it'd just been him and the Dave human, when the groups had first merged, finally meeting for the first time. Karkat regarded them with the same feelings he had for everyone else, a blind anger and bitter acceptance of the fact they'd be sharing living spaces for quite some time. Of course he'd made his presence known, ranting and shoving his thoughts among the united party and getting acquainted with everyone in the Karkat way. The Rose girl was very similar to Kanaya and they bonded quickly, regarding Karkat with the same indifferent interest and listening in their mysterious ways. Kanaya maintaining a solid accepting front and dealing with him like a parent, scolding only when necessary. Rose did the same but held up on the analytical end, breaking down his thought process until he felt his think pan would explode. But for the most part Rose was easy to adjust to. She was similar to Kanaya. He could put up with Kanaya. So therefore he could put up with Rose. Dave though was another fucking thing all together.
In the beginning it was a short lived time of just observing them at first, getting to know the humans. Strange fleshy pink things that he'd only seen on the screens until now. They weren't entirely unlike the trolls in appearance, just...pinker. Their strikingly light hair was almost blinding along with the brightly colored eyes that suggested adulthood, but in the end were just oddball human colors. Still the same age as the trolls, they'd said. Mostly Karkat grumbled and bitched and moaned about their dumb physique and customs, but grew used to it after a few weeks. They weren't too different he guessed.
For the most part they all got along ok. As much as trolls and humans could with their varying levels of emotions. Time went on and things settled into a vaguely normal routine. As much as an asteroid secluded group of genetically different losers could be. Things started changing though when Dave and Terezi became buddies. Karkat had his...thing for her. Whatever the fuck his feelings were for her about the quadrants. From as much as he could gather, it was a strange take on the human emotion called love. It made his blood pusher ache and there were so many things other than just pity going on in his body for her that he wasn't sure how to handle it. So he raged.
That was the only emotion he was used to was bitter rage. His crazy bantering and awkward screeching about how things were fucked up and not to his liking just drove him into a deeper hole concerning her. Dave was a fucking bastard and should leave her alone or at least share or something. Fuck if he knew. All that there was though was his very real, painfully sad ache to be with the girl troll and Dave motherfucking Strider was in the way. The stupid bastard claimed to only be friends and would just cool kid his way around Karkat with sick moves and lightning speed, leaving him flustered and spitting insults like no tomorrow. Everything Strider did made Karkat look stupid and childish in comparison, and that just frustrated him even more.
It wasn't as if he wanted to start a kismesis with the kid. A certain part of him had that reserved for his future self, if by some ectobiology shit he ever met the bastard there would be one hell of a quadrant explosion. No. Right now it was more just he hated Strider because she was so infatuated by him. Quadrant lust? He didn't know. But she was ignoring him and didn't have the same need for him like he had for her anymore. As much as he tried, nothing seemed to change other than everyone's interest and ability to put up with his pining. So, like her dying amusement, he started to let it go and watch behind the scene with a burning, empty hole inside of him. Whatever. As long as she was happy. That's just what he'd keep telling himself. Anything to nurse the ache.
It was quiet for awhile among the group as Karkat drifted from them. For the most part he hung with them all the same. The physical distance had not changed, but he became quieter, more drawn into himself. There really wasn't a lot to overly rage about when they all were just waiting to get to the new universe. That and after a long enough time of ignoring Terezi and Dave's annoying little buddy relationship he could feel the need for her dying off. It would be somewhat pleasant if it weren't for the fact that he realized he was really fucking lonely without anyone close to him. Gamzee had disappeared off to gog knows where and without the ache for Terezi, there was still an empty hole in him. He really just had no one and it hurt. As much as he didn't want to admit it with his troll pride, he was a lonely fucker.
What was strangest was that Dave approached him first. The one he really strongly fucking disliked the most right now had come to him first. And it wasn't to fuck with him for once.
