A/N

Kat is here again with the second chapter! The procrastination awaits! Yeah, I have a whole week(Sort'a) to write this and I'm probably not going to make it that far. Broadway Karkat songs help though, but sometimes I get carried away and start singing instead of typing. ...Yeah…


The sun flooded the room and attacked the troll's eyes, he finally gave in and opened his eyes, waking up to feel hot and sweaty. Karkat could barely remember the dream he had, but judging by his appearance it must've been a nightmare. Uh..Nevermind...As soon as he removed the sheets he saw his pants were a biiit wet. Parts of the dream he had came back and bothered him greatly. I think I'm gonna puke… he thought as he clutched his stomach. If he made it to the bathroom before he barfed he wouldn't need to be stuck with a room that smelled of vomit. Thank God he woke up before Gamzee, things wouldn't end well if someone was in the bathroom. After his successful try at getting up from his bed, he quickly stumbled towards the bathroom, closed the door and...Do I really need to explain all of this? I think you know what's going to happen next.

….

Even though he had be stalking him the whole day yesterday and was horns over heels(Still denying the fact that he is) for the blonde he completely loathed him at the moment. Not his average and daily hate, no, he avoided any place Strider was and did not speak to any of Strider's friends. His dark aura reeked every room he was in and usually scared off the people nearby. Now that he was alone, he skulked around the unusually empty park cursing at himself and Strider who wasn't there, yet. If Karkat was paying attention and wasn't indulged in his own thoughts then maybe he would have avoided him again.

SMACK! The two collided into each other so fast that they didn't notice they bumped into someone. Of course the two nimrods weren't paying attention, these two were not the type to live in the world called reality.

"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE FUCKING GOING YOU ID-" the grey troll had almost vented out all of his anger, but he quickly stopped when he realized who he was talking to. He wanted to run away and hide, after that dream he couldn't help but think those awful thoughts when he saw Strider or someone who resembled him in some way. He was actually glad he was mad or the red on his face would be mistaken for blush and there was no way that hipster would let that down. Before the bastard could come up with any comeback, Karkat quickly pushed him aside and power-walked to somewhere else though he had a feeling this wouldn't be the last time he'd see him.

All Karkat wanted to do was curl up in a corner and die, but he had to be prepared for another encounter with Strider. The thing is, he had no idea how the next encounter will be and coming up with scenarios made him nauseous. Maybe if he went back home he could avoid the encounter and watch some movies… No, he would seem like a coward. But didn't already seem like one? A leader is brave and confident; they wouldn't run away from their enemies. It was a strategic retreat, he told himself before anymore remarks invaded his mind.

Many hours passed and there was still no sign of Strider. At the moment, Karkat had calmed down, well his definition of what calm is at least, and was now casually walking around the place in a bored fashion. He finally was able to shake away the sick feeling he had for the majority of the day. The hipster bastard left his thoughts and Karkat finally felt free from the dark cell he was stuck in. Many, many more hours passed and there was still no sign of Strider. It signaled that he could finally go back home without feeling like some sort of coward.

"I could watch some Romcoms…" Karkat murmured to himself as he walked to his house.

"You actually like that bullshit?"

Oh God no, not that voice. That aggravating calm voice that sent shivers down Karkat's spine. He could feel his warm breath on the back of his grey neck making him quickly turn around; it was too close to be comfortable.

"WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU FOLLOWING ME EVERYWHERE?!" Karkat yelled.

"Because," Dave simply said.

"BECAUSE WHAT?! AGH, JUST GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU'RE TOO CLOSE!" He yelled again, this time backing away.

Dave grabbed his arm and pulled him closer, creating a confused and flustered reaction from Karkat. He smirked, "Oh, but you know you like it."

Karkat tried to pull away as he started to stutter, "DON'T GET OVER-CONFIDENT IN YOURSELF, STRIDER. I-I WOULD NEVER FALL HORNS OVER HEELS FOR A BASTARD LIKE YOU."

"Oh, really?" he asked while a cocky grin crept up on that smug face of his. He pulled Karkat even closer(If that was even possible) and leaned in on him, becoming six centimeters away from those black lips of his. The troll was paralyzed and awfully "starstruck". He couldn't say a thing and just continued to stare at the blonde's beautiful pale pink lips, but then the teen let go, the player smirk remaining on his face. Dave turned around and left, without saying a word.
