Chapter 11
Thanks for the Review Leok
Dave and Karkat are now twelve and in school, Karkat has a private tutor at home and Dave goes to school. Karkat only has to listen to his tutor for three hours; Dave has to say at school for eight. Today Karkat decides to meet Dave after school, he puts on his hat and long sleeve Cancer shirt then leaves.
Karkat waits outside the school until he sees a kid with a record on a red shirt and shades on, "hey Strider," Karkat says surprising him.
"Karkles what are you doing here?!"
"I came to get you," he says, "I get bored of waiting so I thought I could come and get you this time."
"Cool," Dave says.
"Hey Strider," a tall boy walks up to them.
"What do you want?"
"I wanted to see what is under those shades!" He is about to grab them until Karkat smacks his hand way.
"Hey fuck hole, remember me?" Karkat says with a growl, it is the same boy that Karkat owned in the park with his skating skills.
"K," he says, "I was wonder when I would see you again."
"Yeah well here I am fucker," Karkat says, "why are you screwing with my friend?"
"Figures the two mutants would be friends. One that hides his eyes and the other that is on drugs," Karkat punches him down.
"I have never taken any medication unlike you," Karkat kicks his pocket and white power flies out, "if you ever try and fuck with us again I will break your face!" Karkat and Dave leave.
"Break his face?" Dave asks when they are far enough away from the school.
"It sounded cooler in my head," Karkat admits.
"So what now?"
"What do you mean," Karkat asks.
"He thinks your K," Dave says.
"I am K that is the name Super Fan Boy gave me on YouTube."
"Oh yeah," Dave says, "Have you seen him lately?"
"Yeah I went skating last week and he updated my page, he also gave me fan mail."
Karkat and Dave go into Karkat's house and into his room, "any new fans?"
"Stupid from your school has said a few things. And I commented back like this," he does a double flip off, "it turns out their is a way to type that out."
"Nice," Dave says.
"Oh, I am thinking of painting my nails."
Dave is silent then asks, "why?"
"I am going to write 'fuck you' on my middle fingers then little fingers and on my other fingers so I can flip people of without flipping them off."
"You are a confusing little boy," Dave says, "and fun at the same time."
"Whatever," Karkat says, "oh," he lies down on his bed, "guess what tonight is."
"How could I forget movie night, what are we watching tonight?"
"Mean Girl," he says with glee and sits up.
"NO!" Dave whines, "I am tired of that movie!"
"Strider did you just whine?"
"No," he says quickly, "but really what are we watching?"
"Um," Karkat thinks.
"Pick something that you will not cry from," Dave says, even though Dave enjoys calming him down and hugging him every Friday because of the movie he is getting tired of watching so many romcoms.
"Nothing," he says, "then I have no movies we can watch."
"Really dude!?"
"Yes," he says seriously.
"Ok," Dave sighs, "I will pick one from your movies," he takes off his shades and closes his eye. He pulls out a movie, "you are kidding me!"
"Mean Girl wins!" Karkat says happily. Dave has to smile when he hears how happy Karkat is about the movie.
They watch the movie before they go to sleep but at the end of the movie Dave is about to get up and he feels Karkat lying on his arm. Dave has had his arm around Karkat's shoulder the whole movie but he didn't notice when he fell asleep.
"You finally crashed," he says, "it only took you ten years," he jokes, "no more like three," he mutters more honestly. He picks up Karkat who is still really light to him, "ok I am making you eat five times more than you already do, this is ridiculous on how light you are."
"Shut up," he hears Karkat say in his sleep, "everyone shut up!" He wiggles some in his arms.
"Hey Karkles it is ok," Dave puts him in bed and pets his head.
"Die in a hole!" He hears Karkat growl and starts to growl.
"I wonder what he is dreaming about," Dave gets into Karkat's bed an curls up with him and joins him in going to sleep but not before he is scared out of his mind by a random burst of laughter from Karkat. "What the fuck are you dreaming about?"
Karkat wakes up on Prospit, "oh fuck no!" He flies out the window and finds Jade, "hey Jade!"
"Karkat!" She looks at him; he is wearing a gold hat with a yellow crescent moon on it, "I know you hate sleep but you could come to visit more often."
"I know, but that doesn't really fucking matter now does it?"
"Not really," she says.
"Has Egbert woken up yet?"
"No," she says sadly, "he refuses to wake up and is still shaking."
"Get rid of the clown in his room then he might stop," Karkat mutters, "because I am the only one who can sleep with a clown stuffed animal without being scared of it apparently."
"Clowns can be scary," Jade says, "so why are you still wearing that hat, how did you even get it?"
"I made it here," Karkat says, "I refused to leave my tower until I had a hat."
"Are you really that hat obsessed?"
"I have my reasons, like Dave and his shades."
"You two are the only ones who live close to each other," Jade says, "you two must be really good friends."
"We are," Karkat says, "but you guys are good friends to us too."
"Thanks Karkat, why do you always act different when we talk?"
"What the fuck do you mean?"
"You are kind of mean online then nicer in person."
"OH that, I don't know, talking over the internet makes me upset. I like to take to people when I can hear them or see them at least."
"Oh," Jade says, "come on I want you to meet the queen," Jade grabs his hand.
"No way, I like to keep the fact I am awake a secret."
"Why do people think you are still asleep?"
"Because when anyone else is around I keep my eyes closed," Karkat explains.
"Doesn't that make it harder the move around?"
"No," Karkat says, "I have done it so many fucking time I could walk around blind and still give Egbert a perfect tour of the place."
"Wow, how many times have you been here?"
"I drew out a map from my first visit," he says, "then I memorized it so I could do the sleep walking thing."
"Ok," she says.
"Ugh, why does it feel like I don't sleep when I walk around here," Karkat asks and yawns, this is one of the rare times that he is actually tired.
"I don't know why that is for you," Jade says, "maybe you should go back to sleep in your tower. Here I will take you back," Jade leads him to his tower.
It looks just like Karkat's room but everything is gold, "it is always bright in here," he says and sits on his bed.
"You really hate light don't you?"
Karkat puts on the anime shades Dave gave him, "no I am a little light sensitive."
"Where did you get those shades?"
"Strider game them to me," he says then a knot hits him in the stomach, "while I am here I need to see John."
Jade knows nothing good will happen when Karkat's talks about someone while using their first name, "why?"
"I will tell you if you don't fucking laugh and you have to keep it a fucking secret or so help me Jegus I will kill your dream self."
"Ok I promise," She sits next to him, "what happen?"
"John gave Dave the exact same pair of new shades I was going to give him for his birthday and I still have them in my Sylladex," he pulls out the un opened present, "I don't even know what to do with them now!"
"Wow," Jade says, "just give them to him already!"
"Fuck no! If I do then he will think I just bought them to annoy him!"
"Well tell him what you told me," Jade says.
"Not that easy Harley," Karkat says. Jade smiles to see Karkat has calmed down some, "his level of irony is too high and if I try to explain it now Bro will come out of nowhere and tell us to kiss or fuck or something like that."
Jade looks at him confused and shocked, "who is Bro related to again?"
"Strider! Kanri is my mom," Karkat explains, "Bro is the one who wears the shades like David."
"Wait his full name is David."
"Yeah, David Melisa Strider," (I AM MAKING UP THE MIDDLE NAME FOR GIGGLES!) Karkat says, "so what?"
Jade is laughing, "what the heck?!"
Karkat looks at her confused, "what is so fucking funny about Strider's name?"
"Melisa is a girl's name," Jade says, "Dave doesn't go by his full name and you always call him Strider."
"Yeah so, I already knew all of that. I call him David sometimes to make him pissed off. Oh, don't tell him I told you his full name or he will try to kill me when I sleep so I will never sleep again."
"OK our secret!" Jade says because she knows how little Karkat sleeps away.
"Good," he sighs, "now to Egbert's!" Karkat flies away with his shades with his shades still on.
"Wait up and take off the shades! You won't be able to hear them," Jade says catching up to him.
"No that is the point they always give me a headache," Karkat looks in the window.
"So what are you going to do?"
"This," he pulls out a marker and draws triangle shades and a Cancer sign on John's wall, "ok we can leave now."
"What about the doll?"
"Let him deal with it when he wakes up," Karkat says, "bye Harley."
"Bye Karkat," he goes back to his tower and goes back to sleep.
Karkat wakes up and it is six in the morning, he looks at Dave, "meh," he says in bed. HE waits an hour then gets up, "I will leave him to sleep," he walks to the kitchen and makes pancakes.
Dave gets up when he smells food, "hey Karkles, what are you doing?" He looks in the kitchen.
"Good to see you are finally up fuck ass," he hands him a plate, "get some food."
"You can cook!" He says.
"Yeah," Karkat sits down and eats. "And I know you can't so don't try to return the favor."
Tell me if you liked it, when I get nice reviews I update way faster.
Haters can hate with Lord English!
