A/N: seems like I don't my computer for school at all this week X'D

The three boys, or in John's mind, the three friends, walk to Dave's house in silence. John kind of wants to start talking, but for some reason he can't think of anything to say. It's the first time since he learnt to know the two that they have such an awkward silence between them. He thinks of lightening up the mood by throwing a snowball on someone, at least he would think of that as something funny, but he's quite sure that Karkat would just get angry... or, well, angrier than usual. They finally arrives at Dave's house, and the coolkid walks inside first to see if his Bro is there. He isn't.

"Seems like we'll have the place all to ourselves", Dave states.

"Well that's fucking great", Karkat answers as he hurries inside to get his cold winter clothes off. John isn't far behind, but he's not really in as much of a hurry as Karkat to get into the house. He likes the winter quite much, as opposite of the troll.

The silence returns, and John and Karkat walks over to the living room to sit down in thew couch as Dave walks into the kitchen to get them some snacks. It takes him some time to find something that is actually made for eating, but when he does he walks to the living room to join the other two.

Karkat is on his phone, pestering with someone.

"Who were you talking to?" Dave asks.

Karkat quickly puts his phone away, so the coolkid won't see who he was talking to. Not like it was anything private, but he still doesn't like the thought of Dave seeing it. After doing so, he tells Dave to fuck off because it's none of his business. The blond pretends to not care about it at all. Why would it matter to him who Karkat was talking to? Or more accurate, if he said it mattered, what would Karkat think of it? Dave knows that Karkat hates him, it's not like the troll has done anything to hide his dislike. There's no way Karkat would so easily change his opinion on the coolkid and suddenly return the human's feelings for him.

"Karkat?" John suddenly calls for the trolls attention, making both Karkat and Dave jump slightly. Seems like they were both lost in their own thoughts. "Why were you staring at me like that?"

"I wasn't fucking staring", the troll answers. "I just happened to be looking at you the very moment you fucking turned to look at me. It was a fucking coincidence and had no fucking meaning whatsoever."

John gives Karkat a confused, though at the same time kind of amused, look before turning to Dave. "Did you get us anything to eat? I'm starving."

"Yeah", Dave answers and hands John a bag of chips before jumping over the back of the couch to sit between the troll and the human. Karkat gives him an annoyed glare, that Dave notices, which makes Karkat quickly turn his face away from the coolkid who has to fight really hard to not start laughing at the troll's weird reaction. Why would he look so annoyed? Because he didn't get to sit beside John anymore or because he now has to sit beside Dave? And why did he look away when Dave saw it? It was like he didn't want the human to know he was annoyed at something that Dave can't even figure out what it was.

They just sit there, the awkward silence returning. Karkat doesn't dare to look at the others. Did Dave understand that the troll wanted to sit beside John or did he take it as something else? Karkat has may times had to pretend that he just simply hates Dave, which is partly true, just to hide the fact that he likes John. Wait. What. He likes John? Okay, first, that's not even how he'd say it since he's a troll. He'd say he's flushed for the human. But he isn't. Maybe he can accept that they're friends. But, he wouldn't tell anyone that he saw John as a friend. So why would he even consider the possibility of having any sort of feelings for him? He's not pale for the boy, no way, he already has Gamzee. He's not flushed, the boy isn't good enough for him, or maybe it's the other way around, but whatever. Nor is he caliginous, he doesn't hate him. There simply is no way hating someone as adorable as John. Fuck. Karkat you ass, stop these thoughts!

"What happened to watching a fucking movie?" Karkat is the one to break the silence. Mostly because he needed to break the thoughts in his head that weren't going in the direction he wanted them to. I'm not flushed for him, he thinks to himself. I'm not flushed for John, not flushed for John, flushed for Jo-... STOP THINKING!

"You were going to choose", John answers. "So did you bring one?"

Karkat looks over at the boy. And then realizes that he didn't bring a movie. Because he was too happy about getting to spend a night together with John. No, he was too annoyed with the thought of having to spend a night with John and Dave.

"No", Karkat answers. "I fucking forgot it."

"Oh", John answers and then turns to Dave. "Hey, maybe we can download something Karkat likes to your computer? I promised we'd watch something he likes, and I'd feel bad breaking a promise to a friend."

That sentence hurt Karkat, no, fuck, it didn't hurt him. It annoyed him. Why would John see him as a friend? He did nothing more than complain about the kid, he wasn't worth being called a friend. OH FUCKING HELL STOP THINKING LIKE THAT. Karkat facepalms, which of course makes the two human boys stare at him with confused looks. He doesn't notice that though, he has kind of forgotten that the boys are even there. "I'm so fucking stupid", he mumbles. And remembers that Dave and John are there too hen someone hugs him.

"Yeah, you are", Dave says.

"FUCK!" Karkat screams in surprise and struggles out of Dave's embrace. "WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING? YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO INVADE ON MY PERSONAL SPACE, AND DEFINITELY NOT FUCKING TOUCHING ME", with that said, he gets out of the couch and sits o n the floor beside it instead. "Oh fuck it, just put on whatever movie you'd like so we can get that over with."
