A/N: MAY I HAVE YOUR ATTENTION PLEASE! Okay! So this is my second official fanfiction. This will be my first official Pepsicola and is based entirely off of a creative roleplay! I want to thank Jami for being a great Dave and a huge part of this. Although this story is completely (and I mean word for word) based off of the roleplay, I will change some things because I can and because it would make the story better!

EB: okay hold on a sec
EB: i'm back
TG: was he cool with it
EB: things did not go well...
EB: no not at all
TG: what happened
EB: he flipped his shit
TG: he does that a lot
EB: but, he sounded genuinely upset about it
EB: like
EB: heartbroken i guess? more like really sad...
TG: im sorry
TG: im not really good with this kind of thing
EB: me neither
EB: it was really awkward for me
TG: just
TG: tell him
TG: something comforting i guess
TG: terezi seems pretty cool with him
EB: that sounds like a good start! i also think i'll do a bit of meddling...
EB: woah fuck!
EB: did you like read my mind?
TG: haha maybe
EB: about the terezi thing?
TG: i just think he likes terezi
TG: and i think she could probably like him back
EB: i do too, and as a matter of fact i think she does...
TG: i think if he stopped sending mixed signals then theyd probably already be a thing
EB: okay so i said some comforting things to karkat and might've hinted him in terezi's direction
TG: what did he think
EB: he liked the suggestion
TG: thats good
EB: i think he thought that because you and terezi talk so much you'd be like a thing or something
TG: maybe now terezi will stop pestering me
TG: nah were not a thing
EB: and that she was taken
TG: her and i are just best friends
TG: at least in my opinion
TG: i dont know what she thinks we are
EB: yeah i know that. it's pretty obvious , to me that is
TG: i thought it was obvious to everyone else too but apparently it isnt
EB: karkat's just... different and thinks differently
TG: thats true
EB: yeah
TG: but then again a lot of the trolls could be called different
EB: yeah
John's POV:
Your name is John Egbert and you were on your way home from work when suddenly it started to rain. The light drizzle quickly became a downpour and your umbrella was lost in the unforgiving Seattle wind. Unfortunately, you didn't have a rain jacket. Instead of continuing on your way home you stopped at a little cafe and had a coffee while you waited for the rain to lessen out a bit. While you were waiting, you chatted on Pesterchum with your bro Dave.
Half an hour later you were glad to be walking back home. While at the cafe, several people had taken an interest in you and tried to flirt. Being the sometimes oblivious derp that you are, you answered their questions and after several minutes they'd grow bored and walk away. Then you would realize their intentions and blush, feeling extremely guilty. Why were you extremely guilty? You continue your conversation with Dave and strip out of your soaking clothes; they flopped into the hamper and squelched when they landed. You decided to take a quick shower.
Upon your return you continue to chat with Dave. At some point you mentioned that you had caught a cold and he flipped; he was so worried about you. This, in turn made you comfort Dave so he wouldn't worry but to no avail. When you found out he had a broken nose you had also flipped and he hurried to assure you he was fine. You then both agreed to get better and worry less. But you both secretly worried.
By his suggestion, you made some hot chocolate to warm you up and snuggled in some blankets and watched a movie. You were pretty tired after a long workday at the bookstore and were beginning to feel the effects of that cold. Your head was pounding but you still continued to talk with Dave. Your eyes drooped closed and immediately opened again. You told Dave you were going to get some medicine and got up to do just that. Along the way Karkat began to talk to you. By the end of the conversation you were pretty much grossed out and told Dave. Karkat was actually asking you out and it really creeped you out. Karkat was just a friend to you and besides, you had eyes for someone else. In the end, you ended up following Dave's advice and Karkat ended up with Terezi as a girlfriend. He was pretty happy. You sighed as he signed off, wondering if Dave would ever accept your love. As far as he knew, you were not a homosexual; at all. You guess that mantra came to bite you back in the butt.
Pouring the right amount, you drank the medicine. It tasted funny but you thought nothing of it. You continued to talk to Dave and suddenly you started feeling funny too... You decided to mention that to him and he pretty much freaked out. You stood to walk out of your room but the room began to sway so you decided to follow Dave's advice and crawl down the hallway. It rocked back and forth and you could hear the gentle crash of waves upon a rocky shore. Now you were getting worried. You were hallucinating and you couldn't distinguish what was real and what wasn't. You were so out of it, you just hoped you wouldn't tell Dave you were secretly in love with him. That would be the death of you and the end of your bro friendship with Dave. And you really didn't want that. For now you were perfectly content being just his bro even though you wanted so much more.
EB: hmm
EB: this medicine is making me feel kinda weird
TG: weird how
EB: like, everything is shiny and i think i might be hallucinating...
EB: really weird
EB: i should check the label
TG: maybe you should lay down
EB: that's the thing
EB: i already am
TG: huh
TG: weird
TG: what does the label say
TG: are you sure you took the right medicine
EB: oh crap
EB: it's expired
EB: and it's not even the right one
TG: fuck egbert
TG: why did you not check that earlier
EB: i should tell my dad
EB: i dunno!
TG: yea you should
TG: but be careful with walking
TG: maybe you should just crawl
EB: it said cough medicine on it though!
EB: okay
EB: crawling down the hallway
EB: its all weird looking
TG: i cant decide if i should laugh or be concerned
TG: ill just do both
EB: like walking in a twisted hallway
EB: its all wavy dave!
EB: like the waves at a beach!
EB: whoosh!
TG: damn it egbert why do i let you do things yourself
TG: take a break and wait till the waves die down
EB: what if this was all a dream?
TG: its not a dream because im talking to you
EB: and im pestering you while i'm asleep!
EB: like jade!
TG: thatd be weird
EB: that'd be too weird!
EB: well we are related...
TG: partially because you dont have a dreambot and also because dreambots are weird regardless
EB: i don't
EB: but sleepwalking aybe?
EB: *maybe
EB: *maybe?
TG: thats possible
TG: sleep pestering
EB: hehe
EB: that's funny
TG: and weird
TG: do you think youd know if you were sleeping
EB: i don't know!
TG: huh i guess youll know if you wake up
