Welcome to my first JohnDave fanfiction! :) Here are the trigger warnings: self harm, incest (I don't ship it, this is just a fanfiction about a messed up family so yeah), child abuse, drugs, homophobia. If you don't want to read stuff with that, don't read this fanfiction. If you're gonna keep reading, then thanks and please enjoy! :)
John tugged nervously on his coat sleeves as he stared out the car window. His dad was driving him to his new school. They'd moved into town just two days ago and now John had to go to a new school. Luckily his internet bro was at the school and promised to meet him. His name was Dave Strider. He was an ironic cool guy who liked apple juice and rapping. John kind of looked up to him.
"We're here John." John snapped to attention as his dad pulled up in front of the school. John grinned when he saw a white-haired boy with a red coat and dark shades standing at the entrance. Dave!
"See you after school dad!" John said, running out of the car. His dad waved and drove off. John waved back and ran up to Dave. "Dave! Wow, you look cool!"
"Of course I do John." Dave said. "You look like a nerd." John laughed and Dave gave him a fist-bump. "Come on, school starts in five minutes. We gotta figure out what homeroom you're in."
Dave led John to the office where the secretary gave him his locker number, timetable and combination and his homeroom number. Apparently it was the same as Dave's. John's first day at school was going great so far. John followed Dave to homeroom and put his bag in his locker. Then the bell rang and they sat down in homeroom.
A pretty girl with hair so blond it was about as white as Dave's sat next to him and smiled.
"Hi Dave. So is this John?"
"Yep. John, this is my sister Rose." John smiled and shook Rose's hand.
"Nice to meet you!" he said. Rose smiled and nodded.
"Nice to meet you too John. Dave's told me plenty about you."
"Nothing stupid, right?"
"Don't worry, he just mentioned what movies you're interested in."
"Dave! What exactly did you tell her?!"
"I just listed off all your favourite movies John. Calm your tits."
"Don't worry, I don't judge people by their tastes in movies."
"They're good movies!"
"John, you could not make me watch Con Air for all the apple juice in the world."
"That's harsh Dave."
Then the teacher walked in and introduced John to the class. Then he started talking about the school and everything that was amazing about it and John did his best to pay attention but after awhile he just spaced out. Then the bell rang and he followed Dave and Rose out.
"Rooooosey!" A girl who looked like an older Rose with different styled hair ran up and hugged Rose from behind.
"Good morning Roxy." Rose said calmly. Roxy giggled and looked at John.
"Who's this?" she asked, staring at him.
"This is my best bro John." Dave said. "John, that's our older sister Roxy."
"Ooooh! Nice to meet you John!" Roxy shook his hand and grinned. "Wow, you're cute!"
"W-what?!" John exclaimed. He felt himself blush and Roxy giggled.
"Roxy, stop flirting with my best bro and get to class." Dave said.
"Sorry Dave!" Roxy apologized. She ruffled John's hair and ran off.
"What class do you have first John?" Rose asked.
"Uh…math."
"Great, same here. Let's go." Dave said. John grinned and followed him down the hall. Rose left for computer class downstairs.
For the whole day Dave helped John get accustomed to the school. He showed him the shortcuts and water fountains that had the better tasting water and what bathrooms didn't have bullies in them. At lunch John sat at a table with Dave, Rose and Roxy.
"So John, how you likey this school?" Roxy asked.
"It's nice." John replied. "Bigger than the last one I went to."
"Really? I always found it kind of small." Dave commented.
"Dave, John came from a small town. This is a city." Rose said.
"Oh yeah."
"So Johnny, what kind of girls do you like?" Roxy asked, grinning. Dave sighed and Rose rolled her eyes.
"Um, I don't know." John said. "I've only had one girlfriend but I broke up with her."
"Do you think I'm cute John?" Roxy asked, batting her eyelashes.
"Um…sure?" Roxy grinned and poked his nose.
"You're adorable Johnny."
"Roxy, stop flirting with Egderp." Dave said. Roxy grinned.
"You jelly Dave?"
"I think Dave's jealous." Rose said, smiling.
"Don't you dare start this you two." Dave said. Roxy's grin widened.
"Daaaave's soooo jealous. You got a thing for Johnny?"
"No, now cut it out Roxy." Roxy giggled and ruffled his hair.
"Suuuure Dave." She grinned and threw some meatloaf at him. It landed in his hair.
"Oh it's on!" Dave grabbed his own meatloaf and started chucking it right back at her. Rose moved further away as Roxy retaliated. "Hey John! Back me up here!" John grinned and threw a fistful of meatloaf at Roxy. It splattered against her shirt and she laughed. Pretty soon the three of them were in a crazy food-fight while Rose calmly watched from the sidelines.
John, Dave and Roxy got detention for the food-fight. John could tell his dad was disappointed with him when he found out. John apologized and promised it wouldn't happen again.
"It's fine." his dad said. "But yeah, don't do it again."
So John went with Dave and Roxy in detention and wrote down on a piece of paper "I will not start food-fights in the cafeteria." a hundred times. By the time he finished it was nearing supper time and his hand was sore and cramped.
"Cool seeing you John." Dave said, giving him a fist-bump. John grinned and nodded.
"You too! Nice meeting you Rose and Roxy." Rose nodded and Roxy waved. John waved back and got into his dad's car. He watched Dave, Rose and Roxy get into their own parent's car and drive in the opposite direction.
"So how's Dave?" John's dad asked.
"Great! He's just as cool as he sounds online! And the two girls were his sisters Rose and Roxy."
"I'm glad you're having a good time. Sorry we had to move so suddenly."
"It's fine. I'm not upset."
"Thanks John."
When they got home John sat in his room and stared at the ceiling. I got to meet Dave! He's so cool! And his sisters are really pretty. Not that I'm attracted to them. And they all get along so well. John smiled to himself. He was an only child. The closest he had to a sibling was his cousins Jade and Jake and they didn't get to visit anymore. Dave had such a cool family. John was jealous of him. But he wouldn't admit it. Dave had the family he wished he had.
Roxy picked up the pizza box and bottle of Fanta. She carried them up the stairs and down a hallway. She stopped at one of the doors and knocked.
"Dirky! I got yer pizza and Fanta!" she said. She could hear her older brother get up from his chair or couch or something. Roxy bent down and opened the cat-flap on Dirk's door. She slid the pizza box into the room and Dirk picked it up. Then Roxy slid the bottle of Fanta into the room. "Dave's internet best bro moved into town. He's pretty cute."
"Oh."
"Dave is doing…y'know. The usual. Same with Rose."
"Oh."
"Nothing new to report." Roxy sighed. "You gonna come outta yer room?"
"Did you really just ask that?"
"I don't think anyone but our family knows you even exist Dirky."
"So?" Roxy sighed and gulped down some vodka.
"Whatevah. See yah Dirky."
Dave lay on his bed with his arms spread out. His knife was clutched in his left hand. The lights were out but Dave still wore his shades. He glanced at the door and saw Rose standing in the doorway.
"You're staining the sheets." she said, pointing at his arms. Dave shrugged and stared at the ceiling. Rose walked over and lay down on top of him and hugged him. Dave would have hugged her back but he would have stained her shirt and that would be harder to cover up than the sheets. Dave could smell a bit of alcohol in Rose's breath and she was a bit tipsy. Dave sighed and smiled at her. He reached up and brushed the bruise on her cheek.
"You need to cover that up now or you'll forget."
"Eh, I'll do it later." Rose said, shrugging. Dave shook his head and sat up.
"Now Rose." Rose crossed her arms and pouted.
"You gotta wash your arms too then." she said, pointing at them. Dave nodded and stood up.
"Okay fine. Let's go." He followed Rose out of their room and down the hallway. Dave could hear Roxy talking to Dirk upstairs. I don't even remember what he looks like anymore. Rose probably doesn't either. I wonder if Roxy's even seen him. I bet mom can't even remember he exists.
"C'mon Dave." Rose said, tugging his arm. Dave snapped out of his thoughts and kept following her. He could hear his mom in the kitchen yelling and his dad was still at work. He didn't come home until late at night. And Dave knew what he would do then.
