You roll over and watch your sleeping boyfriend. Of course he was tired after drinking like a gallon of your blood.

Your name is Dave Strider and you're dating a rainbow drinker.

The two of you have been dating for a short amount of time, but you were introduced years ago, and the attraction had probably been there since the beginning.

Dave: Reminisce and be overcome by nostalgia

You don't even know what that means, so you won't be doing that. You will try thinking about the past though. It's not that hard, because you clearly remember the day you met him and circumstances leading to that day.

You had signed up to donate blood even though you knew they had specifically said they didn't want people with your blood type to sign up for ironic purposes. They told you they had no use for your blood and of course you ironically broke your normal poker face in order to show an overdramatic display of sadness at not being able to donate, but "luckily" for you, your good friend Rose was in need of volunteers to donate blood to one of her weird projects. You couldn't just break your act then, so even though you didn't want to help Rose with any of her creepy projects, you agreed. And that's how you ended up going to some shabby neighborhood in the middle of nowhere during a storm with Rose.

Dave: Be in the moment

What? You don't have time to ponder the meaning of that because you're too busy looking for an alternate exit out of this shack that Rose has led you into.

"Who the hell is this douche?" Oh great a shadowy figure

"Dave, I would like you to meet Karkat Vantas, the current subject of my latest venture. He's also the recipient of your much needed blood donation." The shadow walked out into the more well area and you realized he was actually a short troll.

"He's a fucking troll? How am I supposed to donate blood to a troll? Don't they have weird multicolored blood?" The troll, Karkat Vantas apparently, is now glaring at you.

You're definitely prepared to fight him if it comes to that, and it seems like it might since he's now snarling at you, but Rose is clearing her throat and sending you both a very disappointed look.

"I'm so pleased you two have hit it off like this. I was afraid your personalities would clash," And there's that special brand of Lalonde sarcasm, "Let me explain my project to you, Dave. As you know, my good friend, Kanaya," Here you interrupt with a poorly coughed out "girlfriend" that is replied to with a snort from Karkat and aglare from Rose, "Is what the trolls call a 'rainbow drinker', which is actually the troll version of a vampire. This information is relevant to you because Karkat is also a rainbow drinker. And he is in need of some blood."

Your eyes widen behind your shades, finally getting what she was hinting at the whole time. You begin to ramble and attempt to regain your crazy high amounts of cool, "Oh hell no. I am not going to be vampire food, all my precious and delicious Strider blood is staying right in my body where it belongs. And, don't you die when vampires suck your blood? I am way too cool to die now. Just think of how heartbroken everyone whole, all like 'oh that poor Dave Strider, he was so cool and hot and great and we all miss him so much but his horrible friend Rose got him eaten up by a vampire' and then the angry mobs would turn on all the vampire aliens and Rose and there'd be nowhere to hide."

"Dave, don't be so melodramatic. Kanaya has fed off me plenty of times and I am quite all right. I promise I won't let Karkat take too much of your blood and you will be fine."

You still aren't quite sure about this, but you settle down in a very uncomfortable chair and brace yourself for a lot of pain as Karkat takes his sweet time in taking a bite out of you. However, when he finally does clamp his fangs into your neck, it isn't as bad as expected. Despite the pain when he first pierces your skin, it's actually pretty okay. In fact, you could say that the way he's sucking on your neck in perfect time to your (still fast) heartbeat, feels really nice. You might even go as far as to say that-

"Unnghhh."

Nope. That was not a moan from you. That sound did not just come out of your mouth and you cannot feel Karkat smirking on your neck and Rose isn't attempting to hide a smile and you are not blushing even slightly nope nope this is not really happening. You refuse to believe this. But just in case any of that really did happen, you're clamping your lips shut to avoid another uncool noise from slipping out.

Dave: skip this really embarrassing scene and return to the present

Finally a command that actually makes sense, so you can definitely do that. You've really just been staring at Karkat and reminiscing—whatever the fuck that means—but now you're feeling a bit tired yourself, so as per usual, you steal most of the blankets from Karkat and fall asleep with a slight smile on your face.
