Dave shuddered. Groaning and whimpering as he clutched his head, writhing on the floor of his room in pain. Biting his bottom lip as he tried to keep himself from screaming.
He didn't even know what had happened to cause this! He had bumped into this weird looking kid a few hours ago. Who- thinking it was his fault and not Dave's, had given him an enormous swirly sucker, and promptly ran off giggling.
… It also seemed as if the person knew him. But Dave knew that was impossible and simply believed the guy just acted over-familiar with anyone.
He had gone home, and after having it checked by Bro – Dave had to be sure the guy hadn't drugged it or some shit. Dave hadn't learnt that yet.- Bro had given it the okay, and because that thing looked freaking fantastic, Dave had eaten it...
All of it.
And three minutes later, here we are, with Dave sobbing into his knees as he curls up in pain.
Dave clutched his legs so tight his knuckles were bone white, eyes clamped shut, he did not realise what was happening...
Dave's pale blonde hair was slowly becoming a bright teal. Green swirls emerging on his cheeks, behind his eyelids the iris became a light pink with a black spiral design.
His red, black and white record t-shirt had turned yellow on the sleeves, and the record on it had gone pink. Black skinny jeans became light pink, and red converses turning deep green with yellow laces. Normal sunglasses replaced with pink heart shaped ones with dark red tinted lenses
Dave had lost the fight with trying to keep himself silent and wailed in pain.
Loud footsteps could be heard sprinting towards Dave's room. The door slammed open and Bro barged into the bedroom.
"Dave what the fu-...Dave!" Bro started, but saw Dave lying on the ground. Limp and breathing heavily. Face hidden by teal hair, and rushed forward towards his little brother/ectobiological son.
Falling onto his knees Bro slid an arm around Dave's shoulders. Lifting him into a sitting position, Dave's head lolled into his chest, making his heart jump as he watched Dave's unresponsive body.
"C'mon kid, wake up lil' man...C'mon..." Bro shook him frantically. Receiving nothing he started to check him over. Mind going almost silent as his panic focused his thoughts solely on making sure his little bro was okay.
The persterchum program on Dave's computer trilled.
Bro looked up after making sure Dave was only unconscious and not dying or ill.
He was worried though, why did Dave look so different, and what the hell was up with his clothing?!
Bro slowly got up with Dave in his arms, lying him on the bed and walking over to his brothers computer.

TT : Hello, Dave.
TG : sup rose
TT: I heard that you still haven't confessed to John yet, how long are you going to drag this out?
TG: dude rose you know how he is always saying he isnt a homosexual or some crap.
TG: I confess and he wont talk to me EVER again.
TT: Are you sure? I've heard from Jade that he might have a crush on you.
TG: yeah where did she hear that?
TT: I don't know, all she keeps saying to to get you and John together, as soon as possible.
TG: like thatll ever happen john is as straight as an ruler straight out the factory
TG: so straight its cutting edge
TG: straighter than a freaking homophobe
TT: Aren't you exaggerating a slight amount?
TT: I know John is always telling you he isn't a homosexual.
TT: But haven't noticed the suspicious blush on his face whenever you mention something that insinuates a relationship?
TG: flush of fury man you seen the trolls talking about quadrants and pale shit and stuff?
TG: yeah well in troll terms so you and your lovely gf kanaya understand
TG:he is so pale for me that it is like paler than a paper white sheet
TG: get it?
TT: Yeah I understand how you might get that sort of idea
TG: one sec I suddenly feel hella sick
TG: what the fujl;
TT: Dave? Are you okay? What's happened?
TT: Dave? Are you there?
TT: Answer me Dave! Dave?!
TG:Hey this is lil' man's friend Rose right?
TT: Who is this? You, unlike Dave know how to type properly.
TT: Is Dave alright?
TG: This is his big brother, Bro, and I have no idea if he is alright or not. Cause he was screaming in pain on the floor when I came in and then he passed the fuck out.
TG: He looks absolutely insane as well, his hair is bright green and he has green swirls tattooed on his cheeks or something.
TT: Oh dear, is he wearing outrageously bright clothing? Does he have something stuck to his hair?
TG: Yes to the bright ass clothing, but something stuck to his hair?
TT:Like a candy, or a food or some sweet thing.
TG:Let me check.
– turntechGodhead has gone idle – –
Bro stood up quickly, turning to his brother and looking at him again.
He now noticed a large strawberry that sat on the right side of Dave's head, looking like it was going absolutely nowhere.
He tugged on it, not a single bit of movement, the thing seemed as if it was literally grafted onto Dave's head, now even more worried.
Quickly sitting back down at his brothers computer Bro began typing again.
– - turntechGodhead is no longer idle – –
TT: Well?
TG: Yeah, there was a strawberry fucking grafted to the right side of his head.
TT: I was hoping this wasn't the case.
TT: When he came back from his walk, did he have this really big spiral sucker on him?
TG: Yeah, he got me to check it over in case there was anything weird in the thing.
TG: Why did that thing cause this?
TG: And what the hell is this anyway?
TT: Damnit, this is not good at all.
TT: That giant sweet sucker causes people to activate their 'Trickster' modes.
TT: It gives them enormous power boosts.
TT: But they act painfully happy all the time, and they are quite psychotic.
TT: It wears off...slowly, very, very slowly.
TT: All I can say is that you should keep Dave as happy as possible, as well as keep any and all confectioneries AWAY.
TG: Your telling me until this shitty thing wears off I'm going to have a psychotic lil bro?
TT: He will be extremely hyper and dorky- not like that is much of a change, but as well as switching emotions at the flick of a switch. He will have enough strength to snap you in two if he tried hard enough.
TT: I don't exactly know if I am exaggerating or underestimating the power boost.
TT: But from what I have seen it seems very likely I am correct.
TG: So I'm going to have to survive a power-monger kid-on-a-sugar-high Dave for however long it takes for the damn sucker power to wear off?
TG: Shit.
TT: I'm sorry, but that is all I can help you with, I wish you good luck, I'll tell the others to avoid angering Dave.
TT: At all, for as long as possible, for now goodbye. Bro.
TG: Yeah, see you little Roxy.
TT: ...I am not my mother, goodbye.

Bro sighed, closing the pesterlog and turning the computer off. He now felt resigned. His Dave, his lil' man would be acting completely off for the next...however long...
He would have to hide the smuppets and Lil Cal if Dave didn't like them still, if only to make sure nothing happened with him.
...Also, apple juice, tons of apple juice.
He stood, walking over to Dave where he was lying, looking completely at ease as he slept.
Bro sat down at the edge of the bed, reaching out to stroke Dave's hair gently.
"Well, little man, guess I'm gonna have to get you a tonna apple juice to keep you happy. Hell I should have done that beforehand rather stuffing my swords in the fridge with nothing consumable in there. When was the last time I went grocery shopping? Fuck, when was the last time we had a home cooked meal?" Bro said, carding his hand through the soft teal locks.
Dave seemed to smile goofily in his sleep, curling up and shuffling closer to his big brother.
"I'm a terrible bro, huh? Strifes and smuppets when I should be makin' sure you're happy." Bro sighed, gently lifting Dave into his lap, resting his head on his shoulder and shuffling back to lean against the wall.
A few minutes later, Dave's smile had become even larger. His eyes had opened behind the sunglasses that had slipped down his nose, revealing the odd pink eyes.
"Huaa...? Broooo...Why are you HUGGING mee?" He asked, with a dorky looking grin as he looked up at Bro, voice sounding absolutely gleeful.
"You fainted, lil' man, wanted to make sure you were right as rain when you woke up." Bro replied easily, shuffling as Dave wrapped his arms tightly around his middle.
"Awwww! You're the BEST big bro ever!" He squealed, Bro felt his breath getting short as the wiry arms unnatural strength became obvious.
"That's awesome you think that lil' man, but if you could let your best big bro breath that would be appreciated!" He almost wheezed, Dave laughed loudly, arms slipping from the death hug with Bro and stared up at him with an elated grin.
"Sooooorrrryyyyyyy! Hahahahaha, I just HAD to show my appreciation for caring y'know!" Dave giggled happily, shifting as his brother wriggled to sit straighter against the wall. Looking into the anime shades on the larger Strider.
"Hey, lil' man, do you like the Smuppets and Lil Cal always being around the house?" Bro decided to get it done quickly, rather than learn if so later on.
Dave's grin did slightly fall, eyes flashing with what looked like fear. "Weeeeeellll, they ARE pretty creepy, y'know Bro? Aaaaalways appearing out of nowhere, kinda like one moment they're not there..." He curled his hands into what looked light claws and lunged jokingly at Bro. "Then suddenly BOO! They aare!"Dave whined, looking up at Bro with an adorable pout on his face.
"I'll go put them away in my closet then, if it bothers you so much." Bro assured Dave, who's eyes brightened significantly and he grasped his biceps excitedly.
"REAALLY?!" Dave squealed happily, crazily elated eyes staring out at him, as Dave had pushed his sunglasses up to rest on top of his.
Bro nodded, Dave laughed delightedly, and hugged him tightly again.
"YAY!"
Oh dear god this was going to be terrifying...
Bro Strider, killed by the hyperactivity of Dave Strider under trickster sugar rush influence...
Great.
Wow I wrote this in one sitting, sheeeeesh that was cool.
Okay, so I know this is different than Homestuck, it is an AU, Bro survived because I LOVE HIM AND THAT SHIT WAS WAY TOO GOD DAMN SAD.
So yeah, this is Pepsicola or otherwise known as Hammertime or DavexJohn/JohnxDave.
Have you noticed how much I ship yaoi couples?
I have.
It's unhealthy.
I hope you like it, it is going to be slow updates as I am currently rewriting my crossover story, please review and favourite.
Constructive criticism is very much appreciated as well as compliments as that is mega motivation.
