It may seem cliche, but Sollux Captor had been in love with his best friend Karkat Vantas. They had known each other since sixth grade when Sollux was getting picked on and Karkat practically yelled the bullies away. He had a slight crush on him then, who wouldn't, he was practically a knight in shining armor back then, but then through the years it kept on getting bigger and bigger.

They were in high school now, sophomores, and the crush hadn't gone away. And to add to the cliche Karkat had been in a long time relationship with his girlfriend Terezi. Those two were made for each other, blowing away the small possibility for them to have anything besides friendship.

It was lunch time and he had just gotten to the cafeteria, walking to the table he and his friends shared. Sitting at the one end of the table was Karkat and Terezi at the end. Dave, John, Jade laughing. Rose and Kanaya whispering to each other, pointing at the pages of one of their vampire romance novels. Right after them was Equius trying to get Eridan away from Nepeta, leaving Gamzee at the end with one extra seat.

He gotten to the table and sat down next to Gamzee, Karkat sitting at the other end. He was sitting with Terezi, the two of them giggling with each other. He sighed and got out his phone and stared at it, not really wanting to do anything. He put his head down on the table.

Gamzee leaned down next to him and whispered. "Are you ever going to mother fucking tell him or what?" Gamzee was the only person he had told about. He didn't know why he decided to tell him, but he just trusted him, even if him and Karkat were best friends. He actually used to be jealous of Gamzee and Karkat's friendship, but then he saw Gamzee wasn't a threat to his chances with Karkat, if anything he could help him get Karkat.

"No. If I tell he'll be too creeped out and hate me, then not want to be my friend again." He didn't even try to lift his head from the table.

"You don't mother fucking know that, Karkat wouldn't do that to you, you two are tight." He patted Sollux on the back.

"And he's with Terezi anyway, that's all he talks about when we hang out." They actually had been hanging out less, and when they did they usually got in a fight over Terezi.

He hated the fact that he was in love with him, it's not like he wanted to be. He never had a relationship with anyone else, so what makes him think he could pull it off with Karkat? He lifted his head and ran a hand through his blonde hair. Karkat was short and small with black hair, while he was taller and lanky, with glasses and a lisp. An awkward combination, but he was sure he could find a way for it to work. Who was he kidding? That would have to involve those two breaking up first. Not going to happen.

They looked up towards the other end of the table when they heard Karkat yell. "How could you do that? What the fuck is wrong with you?" He turned away and ran out of the cafeteria, all eyes on him.

"What the mother fuck was that?" Gamzee got up and went after Karkat, Sollux following quickly behind.

Sollux looked towards Terezi, frown apparent on her face, but no sign of emotion otherwise. Karkat on the other hand had no problem showing his feelings, well not usually but he probably didn't think about. This was one of their fights, but it felt like there was something different about this one, it felt more real. Not just Terezi joking about a crazy antic of Karkat's. Whatever it was he was going to find out.

"What the fuck was that?" Dave asked. Everyone besides Kanaya and Rose, too engrossed in their book to care, turned to Terezi to see her getting up and leaving in the other direction.

"Some fight, I wonder what happened this time?" Jade said sighing. She was use to their fights, hell, everyone was use to it. Especially since they had been doing it more than usual.

"Whatever, we have to go to class." mumbled John, getting up from his seat, Dave right after him. "See ya after school." He waved towards his half sister Jade. Dave did he signature Strider Head Nod, and they both dismissed from the cafeteria.

"Come on John, don't want to be late." He mocked and pushed John's shoulder as John stopped to put books away at his locker.

"Whatever Dave!" He smiled a big goofy grin, dimples and everything. 'Stop being adorable' Dave thought to himself. Wait?

He liked his best friend John. What, no he didn't. They're only friends. Best bros. Best bros don't find each other adorable. He was cute in a platonic way, that's a thing right? That's totally a thing. If it's not he could make it a thing. A best bro thing. Maybe John finds him cute in a no homo way too. What, no, you're only bros. Best friends. Not finding each other cute. Best platonic, no homo bromos.

Nothing more. Seriously.

They were on their way to class. John talking his ear off about his new favorite movie. He just nodded and shrugged. He started toning him out, staring at his dorky smile. And his eyes shining with excitement. His messy black hair he was never able to tame. Dave's hair a light shade of blonde, with an array of freckles spread across his face. He also had a weird shade of eyes that no one had ever since, well, except his bro. Dave was about a few inches away from six foot. John was shorter than Dave, about a few inches. Perfect height to from John to snuggle in to his neck while they... What? No, perfect height to be bros. Best bros.

"Dave are you even listening?" He snapped him about of his trance.

"Yeah, the movie I should watch." He entered the classroom, taking his designated seat in the back. John sat next to him.

"I was talking about the homework." He sighed, confirming his suspicion.

"Hey Egbert want to come over tonight, maybe play some video games? Spend the night, it is a Friday after all." Hey hadn't spent much time with him lately, school and all that crap getting in the way.

"Way to change the subject, now I know you didn't do your homework." He smiled the goddamned adorably goofy smile.

"That doesn't answer my question."

"Fine, but I said I'd hang out with Jade after school."

"Ditch her."

"Dave!" He whined.

"I'm kidding, she can hang as long as she wants too man." He joked, smile on his face and slight giggle. He didn't giggle. Damn it Egbert why do you have to be like that?

John smiled and turned toward the front of the class as the teacher started talking.

This was going to be awesome. Two bros hanging. He didn't really want Jade to come, he liked her and all, but he wanted to spend time with John. They hadn't in awhile. Maybe he could convince Jade to get new plans. Just him and John. Maybe they could watch a movie and than that would be the perfect way to make a move and... No, fuck, best bros. Nothing more. Either way he was excited for tonight.

Dave logged onto pesterchum, hoping Jade would be on. To his luck she was.

turntechGodhead started pestering gardenGnostic at 1:13 p.m.

TG: cool i have to go now see ya

GG: bye!

turntechGodhead ceased pestering gardenGnostic at 1:19 p.m.

He smirked at himself, that was easier than expected. He decided to send John a note, not wanting to get either one of them in trouble by talking. He took out a piece of paper and pen and scribbled the message onto it. 'hey jade bailed so its just us tonight' and slipped him the paper without looking at him. He saw the the paper back on his desk 'that's cool maybe we can watch the movie I was talking about'. Dave turned his head and have him a thumbs up.

Best bros.

After Gamzee found Karkat, he just pushed him away. Gamzee didn't want to pry his friend anymore and let Sollux go after him, maybe they can talk things out, but what does he know?

The bell rung, signaling it was time to go to his next class. He turned towards his next class, ignoring a trip to his locker for the books he needed. The only thing in his backpack at the moment was a notebook, pencil, and a bottle of faygo.

Gamzee was rather tall for his age, but didn't have much muscle on him, he was quite thin. He had long, shaggy black hair he could never tame. He usually had a relaxed and tired appearance to him. Most would classify him as a stoner, but he's only ever smoked once. Maybe it was because he never really cared about school or personal hygiene for that matter. Karkat would always try to clean him up, but gave up awhile ago.

When he got to the classroom he took his spot at a table in the back corner. No one sat next to him and that was fine with him. He usually just slept through this class, he didn't even remember which one it was. Science maybe, probably Spanish.

"Uh, hi." He heard a small voice next to him. He looked up to see a small, cute, and highly nervous boy standing next to him. He tried to remember where he had scene him before, if he has scene him before. The unknown boy next to him was short, but rather skinny with a slight mohawk in a dark shade of brown. He had a red tint on his cheeks, probably not a big people's person, but cute either way.

"What's hanging motherfucker?" He plastered a big smile on his face, after he realized he had been staring for awhile. The other boy shifting his weight in a nervous manner.

"Well, uh, I'm new and the teacher told me to sit here." He pointed to the chair covered in Gamzee's stuff.

"Sure thing." He pushed his things onto the ground, not thinking twice about the belongings. "Gamzee Makara and who are you?" He whispered, because the Spanish/ science was now glaring at him for being disruptive.

"I'm Tavros." He squeaked out and sat down next to Gamzee. That mother fucking squeak sure was adorable.

"Sweet name Tavbro." Tavros smiled at his newly given nickname. "You want to mother fucking hang out after school?" Gamzee could already tell that him and Tav were going to be tight, he could feel it.

"Uh, we'll, s-sure." He stuttered. He was taken back by Gamzee's forward act, but found it hard to decline. "What would we do?"

"Whatever the fuck we want to brother." He exclaimed loudly, earning a respective shush from the science/ Spanish teacher.

He spent the rest of the time staring at Tavros. Tavros turned to ask him a question to see Gamzee already staring at him. He quickly turned and tried to hide his blush. This fucker was too cute.

The bell rang, and came to surprise to Gamzee. It felt like the beginning of class, but he was staring at Tavros's eyes which could be rather time consuming, he doubted there were eyes as pretty as his. Tavros stood up and gave him wave good bye to Gamzee, leaving the classroom.

He couldn't mother fucking wait for school to end.

Hey, I spent along time working on this, so if you could review and all that it would be great! I'll try to have the next chapter up soon
