Karkat stared at the screen. He stared at the words he had just written and had a feeling that he might regret falling into the tall, blondes trap. He waited a few minutes, not once taking his eyes off of the screen, rereading his message over and over. When he never got a reply Karkat sighed quietly. He was about to stand up and leave before he heard his computer go off. In slight confusion he looked back at his computer to see a bright, red text.
TG: oh, hey! i didn't think that you'd actually follow through on your promise. I'm glad you did though, Karkles~
Karkat stared at the screen, reading the red text over and over before he shut his eyes tightly and growled to himself quietly.
CG: MY NAME ISNT KARKLES, DUMBASS. YOU KNOW FULL WELL WHAT MY NAME IS AND I WOULD LIKE IT TO BE USED
Karkat typed quickly, sending the message and waiting for a response. This time it came rather quickly.
TG: okay then
TG: how about
TG: ...wait for it...
TG: Karkitten
TG: cute right? it thought of it myself~
Karkat could just picture the smug smile that was definitely on the Striders face right now. He rolled his eyes and began to type his response.
CG: NO
CG: NO NO NO
CG: STRIDER, YOU ARE AN IDIOT
TG: ...
TG: i know ;)
TG: hey i have a question
TG: why do you type in all caps?
TG: caps lock key broken or something?
CG: i can type normally...
CG: BUT I CHOOSE NOT TO
CG: THE REASON BEING: SO STUPID PEOPLE WHO NEVER LISTEN ACTUALLY LISTEN
CG: see this? doesn't pop out
CG: THIS GETS THE DAMN POINT ACROSS
TG: okay, okay, cool. i get it
TG: kind of...
CG: SEE? THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT
TG: yeah, yeah sure. but hey, i have another question
TG: where are you at lunch?
TG: i've looked for you before but I never see you
Karkat read this and thought for a moment. Did he even want to tell this idiot where he went for lunch? It was his own personal spot, so he wasn't sure if he wanted anyone to even know about it.
CG: ...
CG: OKAY, FIRST OF ALL, ITS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS
CG: SECOND
CG: WHY THE HELL ARE YOU LOOKING FOR ME?
Karkat sighed quietly and sat back, stretching a bit and liking at the screen, waiting for that annoyingly red text.
TG: just to talk to you. you can also meet some of my friends, you're new right?
TG: you should make some friends
CG: THANKS FOR THE OFFER BUT...
CG: I THINK THAT ILL BE FINE ON MY OWN
CG: ALWAYS HAVE
TG: ...
TG: just because you can doesn't mean that you should...
CG: ...
Karkat stared at the screen once again, frowning sightly. Why the hell should Dave care? Its not like they're friends of anything...
After he sat for a few seconds, he heard Kankri calling him down to eat.
CG: ... ANY WAY I HAVE TO GO, MY BROTHER IS CALLING ME ...
Karkat didn't even wait for a response before he shit the program, ending the conversation. He sighed softly before getting up, leaving his computer on his bed and going downstairs to meet Kankri.
The school bell didn't help Karkat's constant headache. He had one every morning, which sucked...a lot. He figured that it was just stress, but he didn't really care. What made things worse was the fact that 1st was math. A loud cell, and unbearable headache and a LOT of thinking every morning. yay.
Karkat was about to dump his head on his desk before someone sat in the empty desk next to him quickly and loudly. He didn't even have to look to know who it was.
"What do you want this time, Strider?" He asked, growling slightly. "One of my fingers now?" He aced sarcastically. He lifted his head to look at the taller male. To his surprise he wasn't smirking down at him like an idiot this time. He just had on a soft smile.
"I was just wondering what happened last night. You didn't even let me say a simple 'bye' before you bailed on me." Dave frowned slightly, a look of concern actually on his face. "Everything okay?" He asked quickly, rest ion his chin on his hand.
"U-um...yeah...everything is okay..." Karkat mumbled out, not sure how to react to the other side of Strider. "Nothing happened...i'm fine..." he said quickly again, looking down.
"I didn't ask if anything happened, I just asked if you were okay." Dave kept his look of concern, noticing Karkat's head drop slightly. He smiled softly and lifted Karkat's head again with his free hand so he would look at him again. "Hey...?" He pushed slightly, wanting to know what was wrong.
Karkat's eyes widened slightly. He didn't expect Dave to touch him, especially in such a sweet way... He blushed ever so slightly and mentally hit himself for it. "O-of course I'm fine!" Karkat moved his head to get it out of Dave's touch. "Just leave me alone..." He mumbled, looking away.
Dave sighed quietly and nodded slowly, getting up and walking to his seat, which was on the other side of the room. Karkat sighed softly and put his head on his desk, once again not paying attention to anything...
Once lunch finally came, Karkat felt emotionally drained from everything that had happened last night and today, mostly this morning. He went outside as always and sat in his little spot. He pulled his hood over his head and crossed his arms, as if hugging himself and leaned against the wall in the corner, closing his eyes. He almost dosed of before he heard footsteps, followed my and mumbled, "So this is where you've been, huh?"
Jumping slightly, Karkat quickly opened his eyes to the familiar voice and looked up at the owner of said voice before sighing quietly.
"How did you find me Strider...?" He asked quietly, looking down.
"Well I never see you inside so i thought id look out here." Dave said, smiling softly and kneeling down next to Karkat. "Why do you sit out here?"
Karkat look anywhere but the taller male, keeping his eyes closed. "um..." He started.
"Are you lonely...?" Dave asked. "I mean...you seem so away from everyone else...I don't think you really want to be...I dunno why...I can just kind of see that in you, yknow?" Dave said softly, setting a hand of Karkat's shoulder.
Karkat looked up at Dave in shock, surprised that someone actually saw something about him without being told...he never told anyone anything... He continued to look up at Dave before he felt small tears begin to form in his eyes. Dave looked at Karkat with a conceded look, but kept his smile as he pulled Karkat into a quick hug. "You don't have to be alone you know...i've been trying to talk to you since school started..." He mumbled next to Karkat's ear.
Karkat lost it at that point, he quickly wrapped his arms around the other tightly and sobbed into the Striders shoulder.
