I'm back! Yay! Here's chapter 2 of this fanfic, please R&R! I don't own homestuck! :3
== Be John
You laugh at something Terezi just said as your group enters the dorm building. There are a bunch of upperclassmen on one side of the commons area, so you guys claim the other side. You ask Jade to order pizza while you go grab a movie from your room, telling her that you'll eat whatever.
You run into a short troll boy as you climb up the stairs, and he falls backwards onto the step behind him. He glares at you and shouts, "WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK!? WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING. GEEZ!"
You help him up and say, "Sorry man, I was just going to get something from my room."
"Whatever asshole," he growls as he straightens his baggy black sweater.
"What's your name?"
"It's Karkat."
"Nice to meet you Karkat! I'm John!" you hold out your hand for him to shake, and when he grabs it he digs his nails into your hand. You try to ignore it and ask him if he wants to grab pizza with you guys, he grudgingly agrees, and follows along behind you until you reach your room.
When you reach your room and go inside you notice that Karkat is standing just outside the door, as if he is nervous to come into your room. You tell him that he can come in and he reluctantly follows, standing to the side as you toss movies out of their cardboard box onto the floor. Karkat seems curious about the movies and picks up a random romcom you have, reading the summary on the back.
"Can I borrow this?" he asks quietly from where he's standing.
You glance over him at look at the movie in his hands, it's an older film that you watched once and weren't very interested in. You shrug at Karkat and answer, "You can have it. I doubt I'm going to watch it again."
Karkat grips the movie to his chest and thanks you as you pull out the movie you were looking for, smiling at your copy of the best movie ever, Con Air. You turn to leave, but as you do your hear a knock on the bathroom door that connects your room to the one over.
Your guest jumps at the noise, but you calmly walk over to the door and open it. Standing on the other side is a troll with messy hair and white face paint that looks stoned out of his mind. You stare at him for a moment before he says, "Heeeey, I guess you two are my motherfucking suitemates."
You glance over at Karkat and say to the troll, "Uh, no," he looks confused, "I mean, I am, but Karkat over there was just hanging out with me while I grabbed this movie," you hold up the movie in your hand and the tall boy in front of you just stared at it, completely dazed.
"Gamzee, get the fuck out of my way," you hear from behind the troll, whose name you assume is Gamzee. A human boy just over average height – though the top of his head comes up to only Gamzee's shoulder – and white-blonde hair shoves his way into the room. He wears faded black jeans, a baseball shirt with red sleeves, and a pair of aviator sunglasses.
"Um, hi," you say to the boy as he brushes a strand of hair out of his face, "I'm John."
"Dave," he replies as he glances over at Karkat and asks, "Who're you?"
Karkat shakes his head and snaps out of the state of shock he had previously been in. "Karkat," he growls as he folds his arms over the movie he was holding.
"Cool. I assume you guys heard me when I called him Gamzee?" he gestured to the troll taking up the doorway.
You both nod and you ask Dave and Gamzee if they want to have pizza with the rest of you. Dave shrugs and says sure, and Gamzee just follows you guys down the stairs.
You find the group downstairs waiting for you to bring the movie, chatting about classes and majors. As you near them, they look up and see the 3 others behind you, or, as in Terezi's case, smell the 3 others. You introduce the three newcomers, and then you introduce everyone else to them. Karkat curls up on a corner of the couch in front of the TV, still holding the movie you gave him, and Dave plops down on the other end of the same couch and stretches out, while Gamzee sits cross-legged on the floor in front of them.
After putting in the movie, you sit down in between Karkat and Dave and ask Jade when the pizza's getting here. She says that it should come in about 15 minutes after checking her watch, and you nod before pressing play on the movie, ready to enjoy the best movie of all time.
You're so engrossed in the movie, that when Jade comes back with the pizza and hands you a plate you don't even notice. It takes Karkat poking you with one of his razor-sharp nails to snap you out of your stupor and get you to notice the two slices of garbage pizza on your lap. You pick up a slice and start eating it mechanically, hearing someone nearby snicker. Looking around, you notice that it's Terezi.
She is sitting on the arm of the couch by Karkat, who is describing all the actions of the characters on screen to her, as Kanaya informed her that it would be rude to lick the television set. Terezi cackles louder this time as Karkat says to her, "And now the fucking human bulge sucker is doing even more stupid shit."
Ignoring their obvious misinterpretations of this awesome film, you continue watching until it's over, and you then state, "And that, everyone, is the best movie ever created!"
Dave snorts and Karkat groans as you clap at the screen, stopping for a moment to wipe a stray tear from your eye. Jade giggles at how silly you're being, as she always does when you watch Con Air, and Sollux sighs, continuing to play whatever game he'd opened on his phone halfway through the movie.
And that's that! I'm working on some more chapters, and hopefully I'll post on Wednesday. Otherwise, I'll post next Saturday! Thanks for reading! ^w^
