Be Karkat Vantas

You freeze. There's no way he's sitting the new kid- this Dave Strider to you right?

Wrong.

"Karkat please raise you're hand"

And because you have to you raise one shaky hand. The next thing you know Dave Strider is sitting next to you, and the teacher has begun class.

Be Dave Strider

Karkat Vantas?

You're already thinking of all the ways you could make ironic nicknames from that. Karkitty as you have decidedly named him is trying desperately to look absorbed in his notes but failing miserably. When the teacher has his back turn you lean over and whisper

"Lucky for us we get to sit next to each other huh, Karkitty"

And now you're surpressing a laugh because he just fucking fell out of his chair. Causing the whole class to turn around. The teacher looks furious

"Is something wrong ?"

Be Karkat Vantas

Oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck this cannot be happening you're so shocked you can't come up with an answer luckily Sollux does so for you.

"Thorry Profther he thaw a bee"

The teacher dismissed it under things he didn't give a fuck about and went on with the lesson. Sollux gives you this look asking what's wrong you mouth that you'll tell him after class and try to actually focus on the lesson that ,luckily, goes on without a hitch

You walk out of class and Sollux catches up to you in a heart beat.

"KK what the fuck man? What wath that all about"

There's no way you'd tell him.

"Nothing I just slipped ok?" You snap at him but he's known you for so long now you doubt it'll effect him.

"Jeez KK juth wanted to know what made you fucking thwan dive to the floor."

You head to your locker your next class is History and the book is on your top shelf something Sollux had done the day before because he knew you couldn't reach it. Just your fucking luck. You stand on your toes straining to reach the top shelf you're just a bit short of it when a hand swoops in and grabs it. You turn around ready to shout.

"What the fuck! That's mi-"

You stop yourself when you see who grabbed it. If it isn't the king of assholes himself. Dave fucking Strider.

"Chill Karkitty just helpin' you out."

He goes to hand you the book and you snatch it out of his grasp

"Don't fucking call me that you prick." You snarl at him.

Not to your surprise he doesn't react. He follows you to the door of your class and you spin on your heel and glare looking up at him.

"What the fuck do you want Strider stop following me like some fucking creeper."

He tilts his head down at you although you still can't see his eyes because of his fucking shades.

"Sorry Karkitty, but it just so happens this is my class to."

He walks in right past you. You follow suit sitting in your usual spot in the back, and to you annoyance he sits next to you.

Be Dave Strider

You sit next to the short ball of anger that is Karkat Vantas. You can see him scowling the second you sit down. You look at him through your peripheral vision and thankful your shades are hiding this. You start to try and think up new ways to mess with him. The whispering in his ear already worked as did maybe you cou- your thoughts are cut short as his friend walks up and has apparently been speaking to you.

"What"

Not your best answer but whatever. The kid sighed like this happened a lot.

"I thaid thatth my theat"

You look at the kid for a moment.

"Sorry-"

You stop, what was this kids name?

"What's your name"

The kid rolls his eyes you can see him doing so from behind his 3-D glasses.

"Thollux Captor."

You're holding back a laugh trying desperately not to laugh at this kid's ridiculous lisp

"Sorry, Thollux-"

You hope that'll get a rise outta him

"but I'm sitting here today"

He glares at you obviously having heard "Thollux" before.

He looks over and points to Karkat

"But KK ith there I alwayth thit next to KK"

You just got the best idea. You pull Karkat close to you so he's right against your side

"Sorry but Karkitty belongs to me today"

Hear him screech a "What the fuck!" but stay focused on Sollux.

The guy must have caught on pretty fast because you see him smirk when he turns to his friend and says

"Oh thorry KK I didn't relize you wanted thome alone time with the new kid."

And with that he turns to you the smirk still on his face nods and walks to go sit on the other side of the room.
