The door opens letting the bright light from the outside in for a moment. Mismatched eyes turn from the blonde woman passed out at the counter. He smirks as his eyes connect with the ones hidden behind the so-familiar sunglasses of the boy that just entered. He looks to be in his late teens to early twenties, his blonde hair hair stopping just above his ears and his skin almost unnaturally pale. A dusting of freckles adorns his cheeks and he wears a red hooded sweatshirt and black skinny jeans.
A blonde brow raises at the 'troll' staring at him. He looks to be around the same age as himself, but Dave knew better. His typical troll black hair is practically styled in a bowl cut, curling up a bit with his four horns, and his oval framed glasses have one red lense and one blue. He's wearing a checkered vest of red and blue over top of a black long sleeve button-up shirt, the top few buttons are undone and his sleeves rolled up. His pants are a light gray, almost matching his skin and it looks as if he put on two different shoes this morning.
Dave rolls his eyes breaking eye contact with the troll and looks around the restaurant. It was a small place, almost like a private pub, with about eight tables and a bar in the corner. There was a blonde with her head down at the bar, a near empty glass clutched in her hand and the troll crouched down on the counter over her. A few people sat eating peacefully taking up three of the tables but none of them were the boy he was looking for.
Sollux tilts his head in curiosity as he watches a scowl cross the blonde boy's features. Dave sighs dramatically and shuffles over to an empty table and flops into a chair. He pulls out his iphone and sends out a text.
If I'm fashionably late, what does that make you?
"thup thrider."
Dave glances up from his phone giving a very unamused look to the troll now crouched on top of his table. He rolls his eyes and with a sigh leans back in his chair. He pulls a bluetooth earpiece out of his pocket and pops it into his ear. "Have you seen my nerdy friend?"
Sollux rests his arms on his knees and scoffs. "Even if I have theen your friend. Why would I care? He doethn't drink, nor can he thee me. Tho there ith no fun in paying any attention to your thware friend. You on the other hand, can thee me. Tho that maketh you thomthing of interetht to me."
"Lucky me..." Dave rolls his eyes. A chime of the song 'sexy and I know it.' rings through the air and Dave picks up his phone to check the message.
Sorry! I made a friend at the movie and got distracted talking and lost track of time.
Dave pinches the bridge of his nose and types back.
You went to see that stupid Nick Cage movie again didn't you?
A few blocks away the theme for ghost busters rings out. The owner of the chiming phone stops walking for a moment to pull it out of his pocket. He has black hair in an obviously styled that way form of the bedhead look, tan skin, and thick framed square glasses over bright blue eyes. He's wearing a white Lord of the Rings shirt and khaki cargo pants. He starts walking again as he reads the message. He quickly types back his reply.
Con Air is not stupid! Besides this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get to see it in theaters!
He drops his phone back into his pocket and turns a toothy smile at his new friend. He's a full head shorter and has messy black hair that looks more like it wasn't bothered to even be brushed. His skin is pale and he has slight bags under his worried brown eyes. He's been nervously fidgeting with the cuffs of his unnecessarily over sized black sweater for five minutes now.
"Don't be so nervous Karkat! We're just going for lunch at a small place a little ways away. I'm sure Dave will love meeting you just like I have!" The taller of the two says patting the other on the back with a grin.
Karkat chews on his bottom lip for a moment before letting out a sigh. "It's not this Dave boy I'm fucking worried about John." He glares up at John until he removes his hand from his back. "My ex is a... bar hopper... and we broke up on bad terms. So I'd rather not run in to him."
John's grin widens and he grabs Karkat's wrist and pulls him along. "The probability of your ex being at this place is like one in a million! It's a very small place, barely known by anyone! And if she is there just say the word and me and Dave'll protect you!"
The ghostbusters theme chimes again and John releases Karkat's arm to pull out his phone.
Once in a lifetime only happens once John. You've seen that movie 20 times in the past week!
John laughs and types back.
Only seven actually. And it just gets better every time!
Back at the restaurant sexy and I know it rings through the air causing Dave to look away from his apple juice to check his phone. He rolls his eyes again and replies.
Just get your nerdy ass over here so I can eat.
Sollux scowls for a moment before smirking and flopping down in Dave's lap draping one arm over his shoulder. "You're a crappy friend thrider. You're thuppothed to be amuthing me." Dave simply ignores him and reaches around him to grab his drink. Sollux frowns and leans over to whisper in Dave's pierced ear. "The more you ignore me the wortht it'll be thrider." To emphasize his words Sollux sticks out his two tongues to lick the lobe right next to Dave's red gauge plug.
Dave ignores the tongues with a straight face taking a drink and returning his glass to the table. "I think you mean the more I ignore you the more amusing this will be."
"Dave! I'm sorry I'm late but I brought my new friend!" Both Dave and Sollux look up at John pulling his new friend through the restaurant twords them. Dave freezes as he's greeted with gray skin, small horns, and the wide red eyes he's seen in his dreams almost every night since he was seven.
Sollux's eyes widen in shock. He opens his mouth pushing himself up away from Dave's chest. No words come out so he gulps and bites his lip his eyes taking in every piece of the other troll that he can. His eyes stop roaming when he gets to the tan fingers wrapped around Karkat's wrist.
Karkat's red eyes widen and he gulps as he watches the mismatched eyes narrow in rage. John blinks in confusion and waves his hand between Karkat and Dave. "Hey guys? Do you like, know each other or something?"
Dave quickly regains his composure and smirks over at John. Nah, I'm just surprised that you'd shack up with such an angry looking midget."
