===Chapter 1===

===Be Vriska.

(You are Vriska right now.)

"Why does it suck being me?" Vriska thought, sitting on a bench by herself.

(Yes, Vriska, why indeed?)

"It's just my luck…" she scoffed to herself, rolling all eight of her eyes, looking to the sky.

She was just a few minutes from Gamzee's house, where everyone was partying to hell for Tavros and Gamzee's… something-or-other, matespritship anniversary… how long have they been together? She couldn't remember at the moment, but who really cares? She's gotten over Tavros, but that's not the point, now she might have to give up and get over someone else: the stupid but sweet John Egbert.

She had been again trying to get closer to John, but is seems every time she takes one step forward, he takes one back. After the first few times of talking to him, she realized she was flushed for him. She didn't except it at first, but after a while, she's learned to understand her feelings. Of course, she told never him she was red for him, but it's obvious he didn't feel the same towards her; were they only destined to be moirails. But Vriska wanted so much more from him! She can't help how selfish she is! To her, she is the only one who deserves him. She helped him with the game! She's the reason he reached his god tier (even if she had him killed first)! He owes her big time! She was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't notice Dave was standing right in front of her, looking at her lonely and confused face.

"Yo," Dave said. Vriska looked up at him, not realizing he was right there.

"Oh, hi, Dave," she answered, leaning back on the bench, moving some hair away from her face and acting relaxed. "I didn't see you there…why aren't you at the party? Terezi's there…" Vriska said; she really didn't feel like talking to anyone at the moment.

"Terezi's having a blast; we're just friends, goddamn; why does everyone think we're together? Anyway, the party just was my kind of noise," Dave replied.

"I guess me neither, I bet John and everyone else don't even realize I'm gone…" Vriska sighed, leaning over, and cupping her cheeks, and blowing some hair from her face. "What happened so far? Who's already in the drunk, sloppy makeouts?"

"Obviously, Gamzee and Tavros, then there was Sollux and Feferi, and Eridan watching them like a creep, then Aradia and Equius, and Nepeta's so wasted, I think she's still trying to get into Karkat's tight ass pants," Dave said. "And I think Jade's trying to ship Karkat with Nepeta or something…"

Vriska chuckled a bit; she always knew Sollux liked Feferi, and Nepeta liked Karkat, but really? Aradia and Equius? She didn't see that one coming…

"What about your human friends?" Vriska asked.

"Oh, yeah, I almost forgot; Rose is seriously drunk and is hitting on Kanaya…" Dave said.

"Wow, really?" Vriska was surprised, and felt really awkward thinking about any of her exes with others already, and she still has no one…

"What about John?" she thought. She knew it made her sound stupid, and maybe a little desperate, but she didn't care.

"No one, why? You thinking about him?" he asked. Vriska almost blushed. Damn Dave, being so nosy, even if he was right.

"What's it to you?" she said.

"Nothing really. Just wondering something: what do you see in him?" he asked her. He sat down next to her; she moved away from him a bit, feeling kind of uncomfortable being around him. She didn't know much about Dave, except that he and Terezi are pretty tight, and he's pretty cool.

"Oh, like you care," she replied to his comment. "I don't want to talk about it with you. I barely know you, Dave…"

"Yes, I do care," Dave said, resting his arms on the bench, almost putting it around Vriska. "First of all, John's my bro, so I'm always looking out for him. Especially from people that might want to take advantage of him. I don't really know you either, Vriska, so I don't know what you're planning. The only time I really learn something about you is from John, or Karkat talking about how much of a bitch you are," he continued. "So, yeah, I care."

Vriska scoffed and glared at Dave, crossing her arms. "Why would you ever listen to Karkat? He's just an idiot who needs to yell at everyone." Dave turned to look at her, she clearly saw his blood red eyes through his sunglasses; they actually looked pretty interesting to the thief. "And why are you asking about my feelings toward John? What do you see in him?"

"I see that he's pretty much a buck-toothed dumbass who likes shitty movies, but he's a good guy," Dave answered her.

"Oh, my, David! I had no idea you had red feelings for him, too!" Vriska said sarcastically, snickering.

"What? No; I'm not gay," he said casually.

"What's that?" Vriska asked curiously. Her question made Dave sigh, and face palm, as if he regretted saying that.

"No, I'm not explaining this again. Just go ask Karkat or Rose; I'm sure they'd be happy to oblige. Even if he seemed a bit upset, it wasn't enough for Vriska. He looked down again; Vriska bit her lip in some frustration. Why is he so relaxed? She was sure he would leave her alone after that! Tavros was right; it's so hard to bother Dave! She finally gave in, feeling a bit awkward telling someone she could call almost a total stranger.

"Well, I guess I like him for mostly what you said. Sure, he's kind of stupid, and a total air head sometimes, but after getting to know him better, I guess… I guess I fell for him. I kind of hate myself for it, too. I never thought I'd fall for someone like John. But, he's the only one who understands me, and he's so sweet to me and he's really adorable—!" Vriska cut herself off; Gog, she didn't realize how pathetic she sounded at that moment. She looked at Dave, who still looked like his normal self. But she could somewhat see he was staring at her in a funny way. She didn't like it.

"What?" she said, feeling a little offended by his expression. He just smiled.

"Nothing; I was just checking if your feelings were legit, and they seem to be," he said in a calm tone. "So, you really like him?"

"Yeah…?" Vriska said.

"Would you… want to get in his pants?" he asked as if it was completely normal to ask about sexual interactions.

Vriska gasped in shock, blushing. "What the fuck? I don't like him that much!" she exclaimed, almost yelling. Dave got up, starting to walk away.

"Whatever, spider girl, just don't plan anything stupid on John, or I'm coming after you," he warned her, pointing at his eyes through his shades, and then pointing at Vriska, as if to say, "I got my eyes on you."

"Creep," she said to him, feeling almost disgusted.

"Serket," he replied, walking away, whistling. Vriska almost felt… trolled.

Hey, wait a minute! She was just struck by the best idea ever! She got up, and ran in the direction Dave was walking, calling out, "Hey, Dave! Yo, Dave!" He finally turned around, and stopped for her to catch up. When she did, she grabbed his hand. He raised an eyebrow at her.

"What, troll girl?" Dave asked.

"Can you help me?" Vriska pleaded.

"…With what?"

"With winning John's affections, stupid!" she said excitedly.

"Why me? Why not Rose or Jade?" Dave asked the spider.

"Because, your John's bro, right? So, you and him are pretty close! I pretty much no you more than the Seer and the Witch! Come on, Dave! It would be so uncool of you not to!" Vriska tried persuading him. After staring at her for what seemed like forever to Vriska, Dave finally gave in.
"Fine," Dave sighed. Vriska grinned, and hugged him. Dave just stood straight, as if now it's awkward being around an alien troll girl. She finally let go of him, still smiling.

"Thanks, David! You're the best!" Vriska said.

"On one condition," Dave said, holding up one finger.

"Urgh, what?" Vriska whined, annoyed. She hated things where there was one condition.

"Don't call me David." Vriska just gawked at him, raising her eyebrow.

"Um, okay?" she said, confused. Dave smiled, and raised one hand in the air.

"Alright, deal," Dave said; Vriska immediately high fived him.

"Alright!" she exclaimed. Dave started walking away again; when Vriska turned, the most devilish of smirks was on her face. Dave and John are bros, right? So, if John sees Vriska hanging with Dave, he'll realize just how awesome she is! And he will end up loving her! Her plan was absolutely perfect! And he might just get jealous of Dave, wanting Vriska more! It worked either way! She started cackling, walking back.

===Be Dave.===

(You are now Dave.)

As Dave was walking, he felt something in his gut that just didn't seem right. After thinking about it for a few minutes, he realized Vriska seemed just a little too cheerful back there…

He could tell this plan of hers could end up bad. Really bad.

===End of Chapter 1===


AN: hey, i'm sassyflowers!

So, I never really thought of shipping this... this was a personal request from my good friend, and she is like me; shipping fucking every homestuck ship we can get our sticky hands on... whatever.

But I never thought of this ship... and when she asked, I said, "Are you serious?" But then I started thinking about it, and I thought, What if they were able to get to know each other more? What if? I could go on for hours, but no thanks. That is what sweet tumblr is for. :)

Moirails? Or Matesprits? It dawns on me every day now... fuck...

Well, I'm out! Will post next one soon!
