"HOW FUCKING DARE YOU SAY THAT TO ME!"Karkat shouted at the top of his lungs,another fight with Dave. Dave must have said something to make Karkat angry,once again. Dirk let out a heavy breathe,with a roll of the eyes he was on his feet and walking towards Dave's room,only to be met by an angry red head running out with tears running down his pale face. Dirk groaned,Karkat was overreacting he was sure but he had to follow him. Dirk walked behind Karkat out of the house,down the street for a good few blocks before stopping.
"Stop following me,"Karkat said in a tone that was.. soft and unbeknownst to his normal voice. Dirk raised a brow,this wasn't normal for the boy.
"Listen,what did Dave say?"Dirk asked in response,his voice low to keep from attracting any unwanted attention. Karkat laughed to himself,a Strider pretending to care.. That wasn't unheard of.
"He said I didn't deserve Terezi as a friend,"Karkat replied in a somewhat agitated tone. Dirk felt his mouth drop,Dave had said some fucked up things before but dude. Karkat was in love with Terezi and respected her choice to be with Dave,so to say something like that was pretty messed up. Dirk let out a heavy sigh,just as he did in the beginning of this whole escapade and walked over to Karkat. Before Karkat could protest the older,Texan boy wrapped his arms around the fiery red head. Karkat took a sharp breathe in,tears began to ran as he simply hugged back,a slightly angry tone to his voice now.
"This is completely platonic and if you ever touch me like this again I'll use your skull as a bowl."
"Got it Vantas,"Dirk replied in a sweet tone.
