"But Dave, you don't understand!" She whined down the phone to a slightly irritated cool kid who probably had a slightly irritating headache.
"No Terezi, I do understand." He replied. "You're jealous because that feline friend of yours is out with that loud asshole of a guy you're crushing on."
"I'm not jealous!" she barked, which only proved she was jealous and defensive about it.
"Yeah okay, and I'm not the coolest guy you know."
"Ugh you're no help at all." And with that she hung up on him.
Dave Strider sighed and threw himself on to the couch in the apartment he shared with his older brother Dirk, and his best friend John. He took off his shades and set them on the coffee table in front of the previously mentioned couch.
"Dave?" The high and almost feminine, yet somehow still had a masculine tint, voice of the previously mentioned best friend and roommate called as he entered the room.
He quickly reached for his glasses before remembering that John had seen his eyes before and doesn't really care about them. Well, not as much as he cares about a Nic Cage movie although he probably doesn't care about anything as much as a Nic Cage movie.
"Sup?"
"Dave are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah I just got off the phone with Tez and she was moaning about how Vantass is out with that Nepeta chick I'm totally fine." He groaned while he reached for his shades and placed them on his face.
John managed to avoid laughing at Dave's nickname for his short and shouty friend (mostly because it isn't funny but it usually amuses John so let him have this one) and sat over on the couch beside him.
"Aw man that sucks, I thought they stopped dating a few months ago." He tried to reassure, it didn't exactly work and he saw that and added. "Jeez, girls can be such a pain sometimes!"
"Yeah, speaking of painful Girls-"
"No Dave, Vriska is not coming over again." John interrupted. "You guys should get along so well I don't understand why you don't like her."
"It's because of the things she's done to Tez and you know that." He stopped for a second and turned to his baby-faced roommate. "What if I ramble on to Terezi about liking the wicked witch of the webs but I can't make a move because she's dating you and make her jealous in return!"
"Dave that's horrible and stupid."
"It would work."
They argued about this for sometime before calling up Vriska and letting her in on the somewhat pointless plan which she was quite happy to be part of. Although, being called "Wicked Witch of the Webs" did result in a few harsh insults, it's such a shame only Strider and Egbert heard them.
While all that was happening down at the Strider residence, something else happened at "Little Cubes and Tea" something that was going to be very important to the cat and the crab, even if they didn't know it yet.
Nepeta was stunned at Karkat's sudden proposal. She had dreamed of this moment ever since she was about thirteen. Sure, she'd had boyfriends before, but there was always someone at the back of her mind. Of course, most people knew about this and it didn't really bother them. After all Nepeta was always a little too clingy when it came to relationships and they didn't really last long.
"Karkat of co-"
"Hold it right there you two!" A loud voice interrupted, the loud voice of a girl who often forgets to wear her glasses and was pointing at the wrong couple.
"Have we done something wrong Miss?" A scared stranger asked the meddlesome girl, who of course as we all know is Terezi Pyrope.
"Don't you Miss me Leijon!"
"Purrezi?" Nepeta said shyly, but loud enough to get her Role-Play partner's attention.
"Just a minute Nepeta I'm shouting at Nepeta." She paused for a bit before she realised she was at the wrong table, upon realizing that she walked over to their table.
"Hold it right there you two!" She shouted again, by now the whole cafe was staring, Jade wasn't too sure whether to come over or not. Karkat saw that and gave her a look that said "I can handle this, It's fine" and getting the message, she nodded.
"What the hell are you doing Terezi?" Karkat asked sternly, more confused than pissed off.
"I should be asking you the same thing!" With her oh so dramatic outburst out of the way she had quietened down just a tad.
"I think it's pretty fucking obvious what I'm doing Terezi."
"Well I clearly don't know do I?"
"Jesus Chri-"
"Can't you see we're on date Terezi?" Nepeta spoke up, making her answer clear, She and Karkat were now officially dating.
AN: Shhhhhhhh I know "Shouty" isn't a word but let's keep that on the down low, okay?
And wow I can't believe you guys like this! I'm so happy! I'm getting a lot more confident with my writing while doing this and I'm going to say that you guys are the cause of that! So, thank you! C:
Also, School starts up for me tomorrow so expect updates to come a little quicker! That sounds silly I know, but I'm a lot more imaginative at school and less distracted at breaks.
