hey! so this is a one shot I'm posting while I'm working on my next story!
(Johns POV)
You slam the door and run out into the rain. You're done. Done being yelled at, done being the butt of all his jokes, done being HIS. Karkat Vantas, boyfriend of exactly three years. He forgot our Anniversary, and then started yelling about God knows what, so you bolted. You sit down in a covered bus bench, thoroughly soaked. Your phone rings and you pick it up without checking who it is. You regret that.
"What the fuck dude! You're going to get a cold or some shit then guess who's gonna get stuck with taking care of you? Me. Come the fuck home dude." Karkat yells. He seems more angry than concerned, but thats what you've come to expect.
"Fuck off." You say before hanging up. You call Dave, hoping he'll understand.
"Egderp? Why are you calling? Isn't it your Anniversary or some shit?"
Thats when you burst into tears, you explain everything through sobs, and when you finished, everythings silent.
"I'm gonna kill that fucker." Dave says softly. But then he remembers you and prioritizes.
"Give me your coordinates and I'll be there in ten."
You tell him where you are and you sit and think for a minute before he comes. Dave is such a good guy. Always there for you, always there to put a smile on your face. Like the opposite of Karkat. As you sit and think, you realize something that should have been obvious from the start. You love Dave. All the times Karkats hurt you, you always went to Dave. Knowing he would be there, always. You translated your feelings for Dave onto sit with a dumb smile on your face. That one dumb smile you only get when your in like third grade and you're talking about your crush.
(Dave's POV)
You spin around in your desk chair and stare at the ceiling, exhaling slowly. No point in stalling, today is the day. You're telling John you love him. You already know what you'll say, you've said it a hundred different ways in daydreams and stories. But this isn't a story, and everyone knows happy endings aren't lifes strong point. You pick up your truck keys and a towel, since its raining and John is probably soaked by now. You walk into the living room and you see Bro sitting on the couch watching TV.
"What up little man?" He turns to face you.
"Johns had a fight with Karkat, I'm gonna go see how he is."
Bro nods, "Good luck dude."
You head outside, it is positively storming. You hurry to your truck and pull out of the driveway. On the way there your mind is spinning with possibilities. You sigh, god dammit Egderp. How could he get you this flustered? You stop about a block from the bus stop, you want to do it personally.
(Johns POV)
You see Dave running towards you and you jump up. You take off, knowing what you need to do. Your lips meet, and you know this is right.
(Dave's POV)
His lips are chapped ever so slightly.
(Johns POV)
Your arms are wrapped around his neck, his on your face. You never want this to end.
(Dave's POV)
You are soaked, freezing, and you will probably die soon, but thats okay, because you are kissing the guy you've loved for the past 5 years.
(Johns POV)
When you finally pull apart, he looks you straight in the eye.
"Egderp? You know I love you right?"
You look up at him, "Does it even need to be said?"
