A Little Love...?
/
Part One
John groaned as he sat at his computer desk, yes most of the day had been boring and ever since he could remember from meeting all of his friends at the meet up they arranged in New York a few years prior left him wanting another. They had done the meet up to get to know each other better. Heck they all even agreed to get web cams so that they could have video chats.
Ever since the meet up though that John's dad actually let him go to, John had this feeling of emptiness. Learning Dave went to public school now and that was the reason he wasn't online all the time now just caused a slight pang of jealously rage up in him. Of course John, being himself, just smiled at Dave about it all and wished him luck in the public system that his father wouldn't let him into.
John looked at the people he had on his contact list for Pesterchum and marveled slightly at how much he actually had. He leaned back slightly since he hasn't been getting sleep lately because he guessed he was just having an odd case of insomnia. He closed his eyes briefly but jumped when a loud beeping sounded in his ears and he cursed under his breath, opening his eyes to a video chat waiting to be accepted.
John hadn't even glanced at the name of who it could possibly be until a pair of shades could be seen looking at him. "Sup?" John breathes hitched a bit as he stood straight up. "What? Egderp, did I interrupt you in doing something important? Talking to Vantas?" The cool kid chided in and John snorted in response and just stared at the other. "Dude John you okay? Seriously respond here..."
"Oh hey Dave! Sorry I was just trying to wake up!" John exclaimed as he wiped off the frown he had to put a full blown smile into Dave's face who only rose an eyebrow. "What did you want?" John fidgeted with a wire as he looked at Dave thoughtfully.
"Oh. Yeah. Just wanted to inform you that Bro and I are going to visit since your dad wants us to. We'll be staying with you and he only requested us. But we're coming to visit you dork. You got that?" Dave had looked around then back at John. He was making sure his Bro wasn't going to be an ass and just appear out of no where.
"What?" John blinked as this was news to him. He glanced at his clock and saw it was the early hours and his dad should already be at work. "Are you serious here or just pulling my leg Dave? Because if you're seriously-"
"No no no, I'm not. For all the irony in the world, I'm not pulling your freaking leg." Dave saw that John's eyes light up and all of sudden he vanished. "John! Hey! Don't leave me here! Egderp!" Dave had called out but it was futile and he glanced around his best bros bedroom. His shaded eyes landed on the bed that was not even slightly upset at all. Everything was still perfectly there, including all the bunnies that their friends had made John for one of his birthdays. Dave couldn't help but frown at that, he remembered when John told him about the sleepless nights and they seemed to be getting longer for John.
John came back with a squeak and Dave looked at him in his cool kid way. "Sorry just had to confirm with my dad! And... Seems you'll be staying for a while so can't wait to see you Dave!" John smiled to Dave and was very happy that his dad was letting one of his friends stay over.
"Yeah yeah whatever you say Egbert..." Dave trailed off and he stared at John who seemed to fidget. "Sorry. Can I... I need to tell you something. I've have been wanting to for a while. But while I always get the courage up. My dick of a brother comes out of nowhere. And well he fucking ruins it okay? So I don't know I just wanted..." Dave took a deep breath and stared his friend down. "I like you John. I like you a lot."
John blinked at that as his mind slowly registered what his best bro just said to him. Dave liked him? Well if there was a first for everything. "What? You do?" John was confused. In recent years he had denied his sexual orientation but now it was unavoidable. Actually a bunch of times it had been like that. He had a neighbor that he really got to know and they had a pretty long thing and he actually think they still did except Karkat was on vacation somewhere. "U-Um... Dave... I..." He was interrupted by his father yelling up to him about him having company. "Please excuse me Dave..." John smiled and then left.
Dave was about to respond until he heard John's dad and cursed slightly under his breath and leaned back in his chair. He looked around again and sighed, why the fuck was this going to be so hard?
===== Be John
John walked downstairs as he left his friend on the video chat and went to the door to see his father standing there quite happy. John furrowed his brow and he looked to see Karkat standing there. "Hey there." John heard his voice was deeper and he blinked. How long had it been exactly? And why the hell was Karkat showing up when Dave confessed his feelings to him. He saw Karkat had gotten a bit more tan but not by much, his black hair longer. John looked into his eyes and saw the tenderness there.
"I'll leave you two kids to it. Glad to see someone else here to help John..." John heard his dad and saw him leave and Karkat stepped in to let him by. Karkat looked at John as the door was shut. He walked to John and pulled him close to place a tender long needing kiss upon John's own lips. John was surprised at first but he felt the flutter in his chest back as he kissed him back.
After a few minutes Karkat pulled back and smiled to John. "Fuck I've missed you John... Sorry for being gone for so long... I know you can't sleep well enough while I'm gone. You also tend to forget about me..." Karkat's voice was soft as John realized why all the problems crashed upon him. He always needed someone to hold him and Karkat came to his rescue and basically only knew about his wicked fucked up nightmares and the only reason he'd forget about Karkat was if he kept himself on staying up. John smiled and began to tear up.
"I-I'm sorry Karkat..." John sniffed and soon hugged him as Karkat hugged him back and smiled. "I-I... How long has it been? Did you get over me? Are you m-moving on? Just... How... H-How?" John began to be a sniveling mess as he glanced up at Karkat who smiled at him in a caring way, god John loved his smile so much. But how could he forget so easily about his most treasured thing?
"A month, your dad was testing something out and made Stabdad and I actually take a vacation for a bit. Also no I didn't forget about you, though about you practically everyday and your dad only recently told us to come back as you were getting no sleep at the fucking all and he wanted you to not fucking sick. So we came back right away of course so that I can sleep with you, but not in that fucking sense that just made you blush. God damn it Egbert, that all you think about?" His tone was teasing but all serious at the same time. "I mean I know we're a bunch of horny twats but come on Egbert, it was only a fucking month without kissing..." Karkat glanced down at those bright fucking blue eyes and he cursed himself as John just stared at him like he had just been kicked.
Karkat soon kissed John fully into a kiss and felt him relax into it instantly as he wrapped his arms around John's waist and felt the other put his own around his neck. John pulled away after a few. "Wait here okay? I've got to end a conversation with Dave..." Karkat groaned and John giggled then kissed him before heading upstairs. John went into his room and settled down in his chair and put his headphones on. "Hey Dave!"
Dave jumped as he had been lost in his little world and he looked at John. "So yeah it is true okay? I am fucking majorly crushing on you and it ain't even funny okay John so don't even laugh at me okay? I know you have a guy that hasn't shown his face for like a month but i want you to know if you ever want a fall back... I guess I'm here for that okay? Tell me your problems and what not okay? But one more thing, I fucking hate Vantas... I think you really shouldn't be with him but hey that is my opinion only yeah? Go at it." John listened then giggled at the end and smiled.
"Alright thanks Dave, well I got to go and get some sleep and snuggle up to my Vantas okay?" He saw Dave go stiff and John looked to the side when he heard his door open and Karkat entered smiling. "Thanks for a being a good friend Dave! See you in a couple of days alright? Later bro!" Soon John looked to the side as Karkat leaned in and kissed John right in front of Dave before flipping Dave off and he ended the call for John.
John hadn't noticed that Karkat flipped his best bro off but he kept kissing him back as he just realized how much he missed him. It never went past the making out though because with Karkat holding him, John could feel the first signs of his sleep deprivation catching up to him and Karkat laid them in his bed under the covers. Vaguely he remembered his clothes being removed along with Karkat's but just to make sure they didn't overheat since it was nearing the end of summer but it was still hot. John rested his head on Karkat's chest and closed his eyes almost instantly and sleep caught up with Karkat also since the last few nights he couldn't sleep since he was worrying about his John being so messed up ever since John's dad informed him what the medication did to John but right at that moment he felt content and fell to sleep with his boyfriend safely in his arms.
==== Be Dave
Dave cursed slightly at the screen as he saw Vantas stick his middle finger at him and Dave slammed his hands on his desk as he saw the call was ended. He didn't need to fucking see that kiss either at the end. What the hell Vantas? Dave growled mostly to himself. "Oh is Davey all pissy?" Dave screamed and cursed as he glared at his Bro was laughing and just smirked at Dave. "Can't wait to see cute John? I mean fuck was he cute, I can see why you wouldn't me see him. I want to cuddle him." Bro smiled at Dave who scowled at him.
"Look I don't need you to add to my list of people to eliminate so I can get John okay? There is already Vantas and I want to just... Get out Bro..." Dave has had enough with his shit but he knew Bro wouldn't just leave out of his own free will unless he pushed him.
"How about we make a deal with Vantas Dave? Cut a deal like a legit one to see who can make John swoon so fucking badly that we get him in bed in one night? You up for it?" Dave gritted his teeth at this and glared at his brother, he wanted to fucking punch him. "I take that as a yes! It shall start after we cut the deal with Vantas, because you know... We're there for quite a while Dave, quite a while." Bro laughed as he left the room to a fuming Dave.
Dave frowned and looked back at the thing and knew John was probably happily asleep now with that fucking Vantas. "Well if that is how you want it... Then bring it the fuck on..."
===== Be John
John groaned as he woke up the next morning with a Karkat wrapped in his arms. John gently pushed up as he wasn't really being careful as he glanced at the clock, scratch that, it was nearly sunset of the next day. John heard Karkat mumble something in his sleep and he glanced to him to see Karkat waking up more. "Hm…? Hey sleepy head. How the fuck did you sleep?" Karkat rubbed a hand over his face to try and wake up better as he waited for an answer from John.
"Oh fine… No nightmares this time, guess I just need something to hold on-"
"No you need me." Karkat interrupted and frowned as he looked at John who just stared blankly at him back.
"Or I just need some-"
"No you need me Egbert, gog damn it…." Karkat had trailed off to the statement that time. John sighed and noticed he fell asleep with his glasses on. He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. This was not something he wanted to argue about with Karkat.
"Okay I need you in my bed…" John felt sort of dirty saying that. He blushed to that and shrugged it off or tried. "What do you say we go down and make some breakfast Karkat?" John then exclaimed as he went back to his usual smiley personality.
Karkat sighed to this but nodded to John as he watched his boyfriend get dressed quickly. Karkat stood and stretched slowly, He grabbed his own clothes that he had thrown off along with his phone and pulled the garments on as he looked at John who was on his phone typing away. Karkat shook his head and he soon exited the room.
John noted Karkat left and looked back down at his chat with Dave telling him that they had damn WiFi on an airplane and he fucking hated being so high and what was wrong with air crafts half the time because it turned out Dave wasn't being smart at the moment and was web surfing airplane crashes. John sighed and looked at his computer when it made a sound. He sat down and accepted the call and plugged his headphones in and slipped them on.
Two pairs of shades were in the frame this time and John laughed slightly as he smiled at Dave and his Bro. "Hey Striders!" He waved to them and Bro waved slightly then disappeared as he saw Dave huff. "So you having fun on the plane? Relaxing I hope Dave." John saw Dave drink some apple juice and just curtly nod until he saw some red text appear.
TG: this plane sucks egbert
TG: like please
TG: just dont speak about this metal bird
John began to giggle at that as he looked at Dave who sipped his apple juice calmly. "Well I'll leave you to your metal bird Dave. I've got to go cool kid. So stay there." John soon set the headphones off as he left the room.
He walked down the steps and smelled some tasty food unlike all the cakes that his dad have been in a fury of making while he hadn't been sleeping. He saw Karkat helping to a minimum until he saw John. "Hey lets go to where your piano is at yeah? Your dad says you have not practiced so why don't you go practice and I'll sit by you." Karkat gestured towards the door and John nodded and noted breakfast would take some time anyways.
==== Be Dave
Dave and his Bro had gotten on the plane not much earlier than about 8 in the morning. It was the first time that he had seen his Bro get up so early. So they did all the necessary things for the plane; bags, tickets, carry on, pat down, all that stuff. Bro seemed relaxed finally as they got into their seats, Dave flopped down in his and looked around, he was actually pretty nervous but kept his cool. Ever since he woke up though he had been pestering John a whole lot.
—turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering ectoBiologist [EB] at 8:03—
TG: john dude
TG: you there?
TG: god damn it egbert i am bored and you aren't on
TG: dont you always get on early?
TG: oh wait is it because you're with that damn vantas
TG: oh whatever dude
TG: still going to fucking bother you though
TG: come answer
TG: i should have known
TG: okay ill stop but not for long
—turntechGodhead [TG] ceased pestering ectoBiologist [EB] at 8:10—
Dave turned to look at his Bro who was more interested in what was outside then to his right side. Maybe he just had to go and try and pester John again to see if his best bro would respond and soothe his anxiety of flying. Yeah he had "flown" before but this was a machine, he never trusted them mainly because of all the malfunctions that it could have. Dave looked over to Bro again and saw he was on his phone typing pretty fast. Dave brushed it off his shoulder and looked down at his phone wondering what was taking John so damn long this time.
Throughout the flight Dave pestered John about what he was looking up and ranting on about planes and their flaws. Of course he hadn't fallen asleep and finally set his computer up to charge his phone once it started to die and that is when he noticed John messaged him back. "God damn it, finally…" Dave answered his Pesterchum and smiled as he did some typing and soon opened up a video call. Bro noticed and leaned over causing Dave to jump and glare at the other as he saw John's face soon appear. He heard the others soothing voice and seemed to relax as he nabbed his apple juice from his Bro as he saw the older one wave to John then go back to the window.
He heard what John told him to do and he nodded to that slightly as he looked at the room and noticed the bed as he frowned gently but he sat back and said nothing as he drank his apple juice.
"So, will you send a message to Karkat about the little deal that you wanted to make Davey?" Dave heard Bro and he scowled at the nickname but he went blank the next as he simply shook his head. "I think you should soon since, well we could be landing there soon and all and it would be a shame if you didn't get to him at all you know?" Bro couldn't help but tease and Dave knew he was right.
—turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering carcinoGeneticist [CG] at 8:59—
TG: hey dude
TG: you need to answer
TG: i would like to cut a deal with you
TG: it involves john and his love
TG: the people playing are you, bro and i
TG: so respond so we can get this race or something underway
CG: WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT STRIDER?
CG: EGBERT IS MINE AND ONLY MINE, I AM NOT LETTING ANY FUCKING STUPID ASS STRIDER TAKE HIM AWAY. SO YOU CAN FUCK OFF YOU ASSHOLE.
CG: BESIDES WE SHOULDN'T DO WHAT YOU'RE EVEN SUGGESTING. SO NO. I'D RATHER HAVE JOHN ALL TO MYSELF YOU ASSHOLE.
TG: Hey this is Bro now, since Dave sucks at telling people or persuade dicks like you… I seriously think we should have this race or whatever you'd like to call it.
TG: It can give John more choices then the lousy one he actually seemed to choose. And besides, Dave and I can also soothe him when he has those terrible nightmares. Thought we didn't know huh? But we do, now accept to the terms.
CG: ….
CG: FUCK YOU.
CG: WHY THE FUCK WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT TO JOHN? WILL HE KNOW?
TG: Okay, why would we even inform John of that? What is wrong with you? Sheesh, it is only supposed to be known between you, Dave and I alright?
TG: In or you out?
CG: ….
CG: IN. BUT JOHN NEVER EVER FUCKING FINDS OUT, PROMISE FROM YOU FUCKERS.
TG: promise
TG: Promise.
CG: GOOD NOW, I'M LEAVING.
—carcinoGeneticist [CG] ceased trolling turntechGodhead [TG] at 9:30—
Bro smirked slightly to that and looked at Dave who was just drinking his apple juice. "So Dave, what is the first thing that you'll be doing?" He asked as he looked at him. Dave glanced at him then away as he frowned and said nothing. "Oh so nothing? Then I can make my move? I betcha Dadbert won't be there for a while since he has been talking about mom, you know Roxy?"
Dave pursed his lips and kept drinking his apple juice as he began to ignore Bro as he stared at the computer screen. Hopefully John would come back soon and sort of entertain him as he didn't want to talk about things with his Bro right now. "Yeah I know Roxy bro. Also I'd rather not talk about that so shut up…" Dave sighed as he downed the rest of the juice and knew he'd order more later.
==== Be John
John went into the piano room and sat down on the bench and saw that Karkat was following. He opened a song book and quickly stretched his arms and fingers before letting his fingers settle down gently on the keys. "What would you like to hear Kar?" John scanned over the ivory keys as he sucked at his lip slightly. Karkat settled down beside John and looked down as he thought about it. After a while Karkat shrugged and got up to leave the room, sliding his phone out.
John shrugged and he began to play a random tune that he made up, humming along to make sure that he would get the notes right and correct. He didn't know how long it had been but he saw Karkat come back in and looking a little pissed off, oh wait he always looked like that. "Karkat? What's wrong?" John paused in his piano playing and he glanced up at his boyfriend.
"John you have to promise that no matter how god damn tricky and hot those Striders are that you'll stay with me and be mine only…." Karkat's voice was unwavering and it caused John to worry so he stood and went to Karkat and hugged him.
"Karkat they are only spending a… Well they will be here for a while but that doesn't mean I'll dump you and go for Dave or even go for Bro. Okay you have to trust me…" John patted his cheek and Karkat nodded as he kept frowning. John sighed and soon kissed him softly on the lips. "Kar… Whatever brought this on, just forget about it for now and lets go and listen to the new soothing tunes that I have!" John smiled and Karkat smiled softly back to him and went back to the piano bench with him.
The piano playing went on for a few hours as john barely noted that his father had said good bye to them and Karkat had his arm around his waist leaning on him. Finally his stomach grumbled loudly and he noticed that he had to get off and get something to eat. Karkat nuzzled his neck and he giggled. "Lets eat yeah? We should order some pizza…" John suggested and he heard a hum in response.
"Lets go get some pizza then…" Karkat's voice was soft but he soon got up and stretched his body out since he had been leaning against John the whole time.
"Yeah lets!" John smiled and stood also. He took Karkat's hand and lead him out and they ordered pizza so they could watch movies together.
==== Be Bro
Why are you being him, you can't. Not until the GOOD stuff will you get to be him. Besides all he is doing is sitting in a freaking airplane trying to bother Dave; leave him be.
