I do NOT own Homestuck, and never Will :''Y

Karkat watched from across the bar, candy red blood boiling as Dave FUCKING Strider leaned close to Jade, whispering something into her ear as she giggled, her face flushing pink. Then she would turn her head to face Dave and kiss him on the cheek, her hands on his broad shoulders.

Karkat could kill Dave right now. He turned back around and downed his gin in one go, grumbling and glaring at the numerous bottles of alcohol that sat cluttered behind the bar counter. He slammed the glass down, shouting at the bartender for another glass.

As he wiped his mouth with his sleeve, a light buzzing in his head, he felt someone tap his shoulder. He whipped around to see Jade and Dave, Dave's hand resting on Jade's petite waist.

"Hi Karkat!" Jade exclaimed, one of her goofy smiles spreading across her flushed face.

Dave didn't look as happy.

"What the fuck do you want." Karkat shot back, now twice as pissed as he already was. Why the fuck was Jade here? Did she want to see him?

Jade giggled, her smile unwavering at the Cancer's harsh choice of language.

"What, am I not allowed to talk to a friend?"

A friend. Of course, what did he expect? She would never think of him as more than a friend.

"No." he replied, scooting his bar stool around to face the counter once again.

But of course, Jade being as oblivious as she was, sat down next to Karkat anyways, holding Dave's arm.

"Hey babe, Im going to go talk to some people over there, ok?" Dave said, monotone as ever.

Jade smiled, though Karkat could tell that it was fake.

" 'Kay, sweetie! I'll be here!" She leaned up to kiss peck at his lips.

Dave gave a small wave before walking into the crowd.

Jade ordered a glass of orange juice and crossed her arms across the table, sighing.

Karkat blinked, gazing at her.

"Hey, Fuckass."

She looked up, green eyes meeting his troll ones. "Yes?"

"Why are you with a bastard like that?"

A smile plastered her face, one that was practiced enough to be considered normal.

"Because I love him?"

He shook his head. "Jade, can't you see that he's CHEATING. On you? Are you enough of a shit head not to see that? Gog, Harley."

He watched her take sudden interest into her brightly colored nails.

"...I know," she replied slowly, still observing her nails.

He felt some kind of stirring in his stomach, and he couldn't help but some what pity the human.

Looking up from his once again empty glass, Karkat gently grabbed Jade by her small hands, grasping her attention. Her face was a bit fuzzy, and he couldn't really think straight. If Dave cheated on Jade, isn't Jade free to be with anyone she wants? She didn't have to be tied down to a nooksucker like that!

Jade's leafy green eyes were wide with surprise, not expecting the Troll to grab her suddenly.

"Uh, Karkat what are you-"

"Shut up, fuck ass."

Karkat leaned in, closing the distance that was in between them. Her lips were soft, and he relished every second his lips were on hers.

..-Until he was roughly torn away from her, a strong hand wrenching his dark grey shirt.

"Stay the FUCK. Away from Harley." Dave growled, his cool demeanor gone, and replaced by pure anger.
