Chapter 7

It's been about two weeks and Kar never went a day without his lips swelling from Dave's romantic abuse. Sollux started to notice, unaware of the relationship between them, and questioned if he tried to eat the honey from his hive bees. Equius suggested that he was finally getting "stronger" and Gamzee muttered something about miracles.

"Well Gamzee is right on the miracle part." Dave whistled tunelessly as they walked down the street.

"Shut up." Kar licking at his slightly plumped lips. His hands were stuffed into a large grey sweater, arm locked with Dave's. "You make them hurt, you know."

"But does it hurt good?" The blond asked, taking care to turn them around the corner and down a large shopping area. Sollux decided Karkat needed to get out of the house and before anyone could even think of places for the broken boned troll to go Dave swept him out of the house with a wad of money hurriedly stuffed into his pocket.

The troll mumbled something inaudible and looked up from the floor. "Where the fuck are we going?"

"To the movies," Dave said without stopping, "That stupid romance movie you like is out."

"They're not stupid!" Kar started to raise his voice but Dave glanced back for a moment to take his hand from his arm to his hood, pushing it down over his eyes and pulling at one black string. The troll let out a muffled shout as he was dragged blindly down the rest of the block, clutching onto Dave's arm in a desperate measure to not trip and break his shoulder again.

"They're stupid, Kar. You're just a sucker for them." Dave gave a thin smile and released the makeshift blindfold. He turned his attention to the woman at the booth. "Two tickets for the romance thing."

"Riders of Sunset?" She asked, he gave a curt nod and slipped her the money through the hole in the glass. "Have a nice time!"

"Yeah I'll try. It's hard to with this shi-" Dave yanked on Kar's sweater before he could utter the rest of his sentence."Watch it, you ass fuck!"

"Did I hurt you?" The blond was at his side, nearly breathing down his neck, at once. Hands left his arm and moved onto the broken shoulder, tenderly touching the skin beneath.

"You could never hurt me, fuckface." The troll pulled away from Dave, keeping his head down to hide the growing affectionate aggression. "You're too fucking weak."

Dave only raised an eyebrow in response.

"You heard me, douchemuffin!" Karkat squirmed under his glare, becoming defensive now. "You're so fucking weak even that...even Nepeta could beat you in a fight!"

"Nepeta has claws, you blushing fuck. I wouldn't think of fighting her without catnip to calm her down." He rubbed his knuckles against the shorter troll's head. "I'll get the popcorn."

"Better not put extra butter, ass cactus." He mumbled, shuffling away from Dave and down the path the movie guy at the front directed them to. Karkat slipped through the large door and found a farthest seat in the back, where the shadows careful hid himself from the few movie goers before him. They didn't seem to pay any attention to him but he did notice one couple.

Feferi and Eridan. The two of them were sitting snug at the front, toying with each other in a loving friendship. Eridan smiled at Ferferi as she placed a toy cuttlefish onto his shoulder, she spoke a long old fish pun and made the both of them crack into laughter.

"So he does fucking smile." Karkat mumbled under his breath and slid further into his seat. He kicked his feet up onto the empty chair in front of him and wiggled low into his sweater, his face hardly recognizable by the shadows and dim lights.

Only when Dave's blond head came bobbing through the walkway did he straight up a little in order to show him their seats. Dave found Kar waving to him at the far back, far from everyone else in the theater. There were less than five people in the place, all of them up front.

"Your fish friends are over there." Dave sat next to Kar, tossing him a Snickers bar. He set the large tub of soda in the cup holder next to Karkat and left the popcorn on his lap, kicking his feet up on the seat in front of him.

"I don't know why they love cuttlefish so fucking much." Kar mumbled, ripping open the candy bar.

"They taste great." Dave shrugged, flinging the popcorn into the air and catching it with his mouth. Karkat gave him a wide eyed expression, if he said that in front of either one of the sea dwellers Dave was sure to wake up with a trident stuck in his chest the next morning.

The commercials stopped rolling and the screen went black, the lights started to dim and Karkat started to eat into the candy bar. It made his teeth sticky with chocolate, caramel and gods only know what else. It got under his sharp teeth, making him twitch with annoyance as his tongue started to bleed in effort of trying to get rid of the mess. The film started off with a lovely scenery, off in the west where Dave said he came from.

It certainly looked like how he described it. Desert, sandy winds and horses that would make Equius cry in joy. He loosed himself from his corner a little bit, watching as the two main characters came into play, corny lines and made up situations bringing them closer together throughout the movie.

By the first half hour Dave almost had the slight idea to get Feferi to stick him with a trident, just to put him out of his misery. But he preferred not to ruin Karkat's night, after all, he's been wanting to see this for a while. But Dave needed some entertainment if he was to survive the rest of this.

"Hey Kar." Dave said low.

"What?"

"Kar."

"What?"

"Hey Vantas."

The troll was about to shout at Dave for ruining such a good scene but he found his lips unable to move to form the words, Dave's tongue already slipped between his lips as hands started to curl into his sweater, locking him against the blond boy. Kar let out a muffled yelp, nearly causing one of the movie goers to turn around. Dave pushed Karkat into the corner of his seat, concealing them under the shadow of the wall behind them, and pulled away, his body half on Karkat's stomach.

"I'm bored." Dave said as he pulled away from Kar.

"Well...good for you, fuckface, I'm trying to watch the fucking movie. So could you move?" Karkat let out a muffled whine as Dave refused to move, fully blocking his view of the screen as he pressed him further into the corner, the skin of his jaw being nibbled at lightly.

"Give me attention." He demanded, biting sharply into his neck. He moved a little to give Karkat some space to move up from his position.

"Movie." Karkat said sharply, pushing Dave's face away with a grey hand. With a muffled sigh of annoyance Dave pushed his face into Karkat's sweater for the moment, tasting the chocolate the troll consumed earlier and reached for the troll's belt buckle. Kar didn't seem to notice until he felt the tugging at his jeans.

The troll gave a short growl and tangled his fingers into Dave's, trying to get him away from his buckle and watch the movie.

"What are you doing, you sack of fairyshit? I'm trying to-David fucking Strider!" Kar couldn't help raise his voice slightly as Dave's cold fingers touched at his bareskin under the line of his jeans. One woman turned around to pass him an annoyed look, Dave was ducked under the shadows of the seat and pulled Kar's sweater over his head. The troll grumbled a few sweats and looked down at Dave, who was impossible to see at this point.

Kar only slumped, into his chair, and let Dave do whatever. Cold fingers made him twitch uncomfortably, he squirmed every time the blond breathed onto his skin and stuffed the sleeve of his sweater into his mouth every time Dave's tongue hit the flesh of his tender stomach. He tried not to take notice, even as Dave bit hard enough to make him gasp and hit his shoulder.

Karkat lost sight of the movie, squeezing his eyes shut in the uncomfortable pleasure as Dave started to go beyond the line of his boxers. His legs curled in slightly, as if to get away from him, but never protested against the blond's advances. Kar moved a little to let Dave get comfortable, he opened his eyes to see Dave between his legs but nothing more. He felt the shades of those ridiculous sunglasses press against the middle where the v of his hip bones shaped.

"Dave?" Kar squeaked, unsure of what was to happen next.

Dave didn't believe he'd get this far. Not today anyways. He paused for a moment, to make sure this was actually happening and Bro hadn't slipped something into his drink hours before this. When he heard the troll's voice, pitched and cracked, Dave knew it wasn't some figment of his sick imagination. The shaded boy smiled a little and licked just above the hair line of Kar's crotch. Another squeak, the movement of Kar's toes curling, the spike of his heart rate. Dave licked again, but this time lower, getting to Kar's length without any problem.

Karkat wanted to say something, at least get Dave out of his legs before the movie started to get good.

I'm worried about the fucking movie? Karkat snapped at himself. For fucks sake Vantas do you even know whats happening to y-

The nub horned troll let out a moan, biting hard into the sleeve of his sweater as Dave took him into his mouth. His foot digging into the crook between the two chairs in front of him in order to keep himself from sliding to the floor. Dave loved the sound that vibrated throughout his partner's thin body, taking more of him in with every bob. Dave felt the pressure of Kar's other leg lean against his shoulder, foot pressed against his back. Karkat shoved the large folds of his sweater to the side, revealing Dave and himself.

Bright black eyes met red ones, making Kar blush deep crimson and only let out a muffled moan into the sweater sleeve. Dave made an effort to take more of him inside, Vantas's breathing hitched. The troll, not very tenderly either, grabbed a fist full of the blond boy's hair and kept it there, not pushing or pulling, just trying to find something to grab.

Dave felt remotely happy with Kar's aggressive hold and only fastened his pace. The hand nearly tearing out small tufts of blond hair as his stomach tightened. Kar gave a low sound and released himself into Dave's mouth. The shaded boy picked his head up, licking his lip clear of Kar's mess and smiled.

"What...what the fuck are you smiling about?" Karkat growled low, his face red and breath in gasps. He was slouched in his corner, pants down and all.

"That didn't hurt your lips, right?" Dave asked.

"...No." During of their quiet conversation Karkat tucked himself back in, zipping up his pants and curling into a small ball, slightly uncomfortable with whatever the hell just happened.

"But it felt good?" Dave did his best to curl up around him, folding him into a half hug. He ran his hand through Kar's thick black hair, tenderly rubbing the nubby horns Karkat hated being touched.

Kar nodded, pressing his forehead into Dave's chest. "It was fucking weird."

"There are other things we can do." Karkat could almost feel Dave's smile growing across his face.

"Shut the fuck up." He snapped.

Dave grinned.
