Thought that I'd put myself in the story... Well my name at least. This is so not who I am so it's not really a Mary-Sue. Enjoy and please review. I do have lots of followers and favorites but I want to know how you FEEL about it. I care even if I don't know you.

Chapter 12


Dave woke up in a hospital bed. He winced at the bright light and the pain that rapidly coursed through his body. He had a cracked skull, shattered right arm and leg, broken pelvis and a few broken ribs. He groaned at the pain as he looked at John who was next to him in another bed. His head was bound up and it seemed that his whole left side was broken. Dave realized that John was staring up at the roof. Dave tried to talk but found that there was a tube stuffed down his throat. The blond groaned again, but, this time louder. This caught John's ears his head shot to the side. He grinned from ear to ear.

"Dave! How are you feeling?" Dave rolled his eyes at the question making John giggle. "Sorry. I'll get a nurse," John pressed a button on his bed then continued "you were out for week so they had to tube feed you. I was really scared you weren't coming back." Dave looked at John with worry. John saw the emotion and sighed. "I'm fine Dave. Just sprains. They put me in casts just to be sure they healed properly and put me on lots of pain meds. Yours are stronger but don't seem to be working." The nurse finally came in making both boys look to him.

"Ah! Dave, you're awake! Let me help you out with that. Warning, it will feel gross and look really weird." Oliver, the male nurse, walked to Dave's bedside and lightly took hold of the blond's head and the tube. "I want you to relax just as John does for you, and breathe through your nose. Nod when you're ready." Dave looked at the tall brunette and nodded. The green eyed man started to slowly pull the tube from Dave's mouth making him squirm slightly and groan in discomfort but mainly at the fact that his boyfriend would have to see a tube be pulled from his stomach. John just watched. He was interested as to what was happening but also disgusted. Once the tube was out Dave coughed a few times then spoke with a scratched voice.

"Who are you and how do you know what John and I do?" Dave was frowning at the man next to him who started to give him a check up.

"My name is Oliver. I'm yours and John's nurse. The way I know is because I'm also the hospital's councilor so John talked to me about everything that you two have done. I do have to say that you two seem like you'd be cute together but having you out, I couldn't exactly cure my curiosity. But seeing you awake I can tell that you'd give anything and everything to keep John safe." Oliver smiled and stroked Dave's blond hair softly once he was done. He then moved to the IV and upped his pain killers after being told they weren't helping. He took the tube feeder and threw it out then washed his hands before moving to take care of John.

"Why are you a councilor and a nurse?" Dave was still frowning in confusion. John smiled and answered for the man.

"I asked the same thing. He said that it's because he wants to be able to help in more ways than one. He's a sweet guy and so far my only friend at the hospital!" John looked at Oliver who was smiling at him. He ruffled John's hair softly making him giggle and scrunch his nose.

"So you two hungry, thirsty, bored?" John shook his as Dave bit his lip. "Do you guys happen to know what happened to us."

"Yes... Well I do, being your councilor and all. You and John were hit by two different cars. One car was being driven by a kid from out of town. The other driver was Jake English. He seemed to want revenge on you two for something. If I have any idea as to what it is, it's the fact that you two are so in love and he's jealous. Now of course I don't know for sure but we do have both drivers in custody. Jake turned himself in. Not out of guilt, that's for sure. I don't really know why actually. He admitted to killing your brother. I'm so sorry by the way but he also said he had intended to kill you both but failed." Oliver bit his lip as he saw Dave's eyes start to water from realizing that his brother would be gone for good while his face went red with rage. Oliver sighed then started to leave. He ran into Dirk who had come for a visit everyday after school. Oliver waved to the boys with a smile then left leaving the boys alone with Dirk.

"Hey Dave. I see you're awake." Dave nodded as Dirk walked over to John and hugged him then went up to Dave and hugged him tightly in a way that wouldn't hurt. "I'm so glad you're okay. I was so worried about you." Dave raised a hand and patted his back with a content sigh.

"It's good to see you too cousin," Dave smiled and continued "how's everyone at school?"

Dirk pulled back and sat on Dave's bed so they could all talk. "They're okay. Devastated and depressed, but okay. They're all worried and keep asking about how you guys are doing. But they're managing. I just can't believe that Jake would ever go that far. He wont say why he did it and he's not even hurt in the slightest about it. The police are planning to send him to an asylum or something like that."

"They all did come to see us one day after school. Most of them actually started crying," John had a soft chuckle in his voice "they had to take Karkat out of the room because of how much he was crying and seeing how broken you were. He cares about you so much more than anyone would've thought. Gamzee actually had to take him home." Dave chuckled softly with a smile.

Dirk smiled softly as he spoke "Actually, Karkat wanted to come with me today. He's just outside because he didn't want to cry over you again. I can get him if you guys want." John smiled and nodded as did Dave who seemed excited. The older Strider got up and went outside the room briefly then came back with a red eyed Karkat. He had been crying again.

When Karkat saw Dave his eyes went wide as he spoke with a shaky and slightly weak voice. "D-Dave?!" Dave smiled a little more as Karkat ran up and hugged him tightly. "I thought you'd never come back!"

"Uggggh," Karkat loosened the hug a little as Dave groaned. The blond hugged back and stroked his hair softly. "Are you kidding me, Karkles? I would never leave if I have a say in it." Karkat had looked at Dave in the eyes at the nickname and then started to cry for joy before nuzzling Dave's shoulder. Dave sighed contently at how his friend didn't freak out at the sight of his eye colour. He was also happy at how happy his Karkles was to see him.


TWO MONTHS LATER


Dave was fully healed and was at his old house. He was packing his things and some things of his brother's that he wanted to keep with him. He heard the door bell ring and froned as to who it could be. He glanced at a photo that him and Bro had taken together about a week before the devastating crash. He sighed with a slight smile then went down to answer the door. "Karkles?! What are you doing here?" Dave smiled and Karkat clung to his torso.

"Well clearly I came here to see you fuck ass. What the fuck else would I come the fuck here for?" Karkat smiled at his blond friend which caused them both to laugh. Dave pulled him into the house and hugged him properly.

"Thanks. You know, I can't get the day I woke up out of my head. Why would you cry over me?" Dave was frowning as Karkat blushed and stammered before actually getting out his words.

"W-Well... U-Uhm... I-I... Fuck... I really fucking like you... You're real fucking nice to me even though I'm a huge fucking dick... You gave me that fucking adorable nickname that so man people have tried to call me over all the stupid ass years... You're the only dushe bag that I let call me that... Ever..." Karkat looked at Dave who had been listening and taking everything in. He had a slightly hidden blush behind his shades which highlighted his ever so faint freckles that Karkat happened to notice. The Vantas looked away with a nervous smile and blushed. "I know you're dating John but... Could you forget that for today? I won't tell him either way as to what happens..." Dave's eyes were wide behind his shades. Karkat couldn't really take him seriously with them on so reluctantly reached up and took off the red and blue rimmed shades. Dave's eyes were still wide and his blush could easily be seen. This sight made Karkat bite his lip and blush even deeper. "You don't have to if you don't want to just fucking tell me. I won't fucking cry myself to sleep every night for the rest of my Gog damn miserable life!" Karkat stared into Dave's red eyes with slight pain. He nodded and turned to leave. "Sorry I waisted your time."

"Karkat!" Karkat turned around to have Dave pull him into a kiss causing him to stiffen. Karkat's tear jerked, red eyes went wide before fluttering shut as he relaxed into the kiss and wrapped his arms around Dave's neck and pressed into him more. Karkat being much shorter than John, let alone Dave, made it so Karkat was on his tip toes and leaning back slightly to angle his face up higher while Dave's back was arched to have his face lower. Dave was holding Karkat by his lower back and his neck so their bodies wer flush together and Karkat didn't have to keep his balance. The two boys had a small parted lip make out session in the front entry of Dave's house that was up for sale. Both boys pulled back and stared at each other's eyes whilst panting from the lack of air in between themselves. Dave scooped up Karkat and walked up the stairs to the living room to plop down onto the couch. Karkat twisted slightly while shifting to straddle his blond friend while pushing their lips together once again for another parted lip kiss that still had no tongue. They wanted it heated and slightly bromantic but they didn't want it to be as though it meant something large. It meant everything to Karkat but it meant nothing much but knowing that there were people out there other than John and Dirk who loved him. Dave slowly moved his hands to Karkat's ass and started to massage it which caused Karkat to grind into the touch and pull from the kiss with a soft moan.

"Mmmph... Dave.~" Karkat spoke breathily as he ground down on the taller teen's heated and hardened member that was hidden behind sweat pants. Dave had decided that a one night shot wouldn't hurt so started to let his hands trail forwards to rub at Karkat's rock hard shaft that was hidden in grey skinny jeans that made his ass look amazing. Dave smiled as his pale skinned friend as a moan was driven from the back of his throat. The blond started to undo the brunette's jeans and lightly tugged them down along with the boxers that Dave wondered how they even got int there. Karkat helped him out by shifting slightly then kicked them aside. Karkles started to tug down Dave's sweats. He noticed that Dave was only wearing the sweats and nothing else. This action made Karkat smile and pull the sweats down the rest of the way. The taller looked at the shorter and reached out to lightly stroke his jaw which Karkat gladly allowed. He actually leaned into the touch and purred softly which made Dave relax a little more and continue to stroke Karkat's jaw and hair which made him purr a little louder. The brunette blinked a few times while staring into the red eyes before him.

Karkat slowly moved to spit on his hand until Dave put his hand on his wrist and pushed it back down. The kitty like one of the two looked a little confused until the blond shifted slightly and pulled a tube of lube from the seats cushions. Karkat smiled and took the tube to lube himself and Dave's shaft. Dave was much larger than anyone he's ever been with. He was much longer than Gamzee but not as thick, so it would be uncomfortable at how deep it would go but not the stretch. Karkat slowly started to lower himself onto Dave with a soft moan. Once Dave was in Karkat, balls deep, Karkat put his hands on Dave's shoulders and began to bounce which caused both to moan and start to kiss again. This time they had tongue involved as Karkles began to move a little faster. Dave was thrusting against the smaller's thrusts making them so much deeper, harder and faster. from the heat of their kiss, their roaming, fiddling hands and their thrusts combined pushed them to the edge so much faster than Karkitty wanted. Dave was getting closer to his high with every thrust until Karkat came which made the muscle spasms of his ass push Dave to the edge. both the boys were panting heavily and were slick with sweat as Karkat lifted himself high enough for Dave to slip out. He then colapsed onto the blond with a giggle which made Dave chuckle. They looked at each other as they calmed their breathing then kissed softly until Karkles pulled back and started to get his jeans back on along with his boxers. Dave slipped up his sweats and started to pack again with Karkat helping.

"I never knew that you purred." Dave smiled at his Karkles who blushed and growled softly.

"Fucking tell anyone and you'll fucking wish you never fucking knew in the first place." Dave chuckled and continued packing all of his things until John came over with his dad to move him to John's house.
