Be the Alpha Dave = Chapter 1 of ?
It was December third, in Texas, otherwise known as my birthday,that I unfortunately had to share with my older brother, Dave, who currently was making an ass out of himself, trying to offer my friends some alcoholic beverages, only to fail miserably. I was hanging out with my friends that weren't aliens, you know the ones I normally hang out with, as in Jake, Roxy, and Jake, when suddenly I saw Dave lurking around one my more quieter friends, Karkat. I abandoned my group of friends to rescue Karkat from being prey upon by my perv of an older brother.
This was so unlike Dave, I may not like him, or having to share a birthday with him, but he usually spent his half of the birthday at the office, with his coworkers, not with me. This was the first time in ten years, ten years, that he wanted to spend our birthday together, at least now I know why.
I made my way over to them, coming in between whatever conversation they were having, earning some disapproving looks.
"Uh whats up lil bro?" he asked ever so causally.
"Nothing just wanted to have a friendly chat with you," I said faking a smile, emphasizing the word 'friend'.
"Oh well since you're here I might as well say that you have a truly exotic taste in friend I never picked you to be the person to be friends with all these Alternians, especially ones with a great taste in movies," Dave said smirking in Karkat's direction, earning a giggle from him. I couldn't believe what I was hearing.
"Karkat, please don't tell me you're a fan of his movies," I said.
"As I was telling your brother, his movies are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine next to romcoms," Karkat admitted, "they're so stupidly ironic and I love it."
I wanted to fall over like in an anime when there was a baka or a joke I just feel so betrayed.
I pulled Karkat over to the side to tell him something really important about my brother, and I use that term very lightly.
"Karkat you do know that Dave is a ladies man right? He literally flirts with everyone," I whispered.
"Yeah he's kind of infamous for it, but don't worry just because I think your brother is hot, does not mean that I will fall for his subtle, flirting skill," Karkat said rather loudly once again earning Dave's attention which was a very hard thing to do.
"Your friend has a good taste in men Dirk you should really invite him over more often," Dave suggested. Just because he suggested it does not mean I'll follow through on it, he shouldn't be so reliable on me, but I'll know that he'll find a way pass my stubbornness.
