I am now Sollux and everyone is giving me weird looks as I walk back to my dorm. People are talking and I have no idea why. I overhear someone briefly.
"That's Dave's boyfriend."
"I wonder if he knows about Strider's eyes."
I glance to the person who said that briefly before hurrying to my dorm quickly, opening the door and slamming it shut again.
What's going on?
"Dave?" I say out loud, walking to the beds. Karkat's lying on his bed. "Karkat?"
Karkat sits up and opens his mouth to speak when the dorm door opens and slams closed. I spin around and see Dave walking towards me, no shades. Dave barely looks at me, anger written across his face.
"You are an asshole!" Dave says firmly, looking at Karkat. "Vant-ASS, you are going to regret messing with me. I don't care about my shades, apart from the fact Sollux got them for me. I don't care if people know the colour of my eyes anymore. And most of all, I don't care that you kissed me-" My eyes widen slightly as Dave is getting angrier and angrier, "-because I'm away to do this." Dave takes one step forward and all I hear is a loud clap. Karkat's face is to side, his cheek already going red. His eyes are wide in surprise and his mouth is hanging open.
I stare as well, completely shocked. "W-what was that?" I ask slowly. Dave spins round to face me and shrugs.
"Shit, which Vantas caused. Nothing much," Dave smirks. He then grabs my arm and drags me out the room but not before flipping his middle finger at Karkat.
"Sollux, don't ask what happened. I don't want to dwell on it right now. Jake and John said some things but really all I needed was to think." Dave then spins around to face me, everyone looking at us. "Sollux. Rose was right. You have changed me. I was never cool." Dave laughs quietly. "I was kidding myself. But you made me realise that, I shouldn't be afraid to be myself. Everyone won't hate me for it. My eyes are nothing to hide either." Dave smiles sincerely at me. "Thank you."
Right then when I see the sincerity in Dave's eyes, I lose all restraint. I pull him close to me and kiss him with all feeling. Dave doesn't expect and jumps slightly. I feel his arms quickly wrap round my neck though and I wrap mine round his waist. We stay like that for a few moments before Dave pulls back.
"I love you," he says, his eyes staring bright.
"I love you too, Dave," I say back and I kiss him once again.
