LeoLady:

The FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS. So. Many. Feels. Poor Karkles D: Between the fluff and the feels, this was fantastic!

Thank you, all you guys are fan-tastic too! May your feels keep coming!

Dave Fuck-me Strider here, and I'm currently holding a crying Karkat as he whimpers over lost love.

I DON'T. KNOW. WHAT. TO. DO…

I rub his back and pretend he's Dirk. "It'll get better dude… you don't know for sure… I heard TZ liked you anyways."

"How the ever-loving fuck would you know? You just got here…" He growled softly

"I don't, but I do know that you'll feel better if you at least TELL her. Trust me on that, if you don't it will haunt you, at least you'll know if you try your hardest and get shot down…" I tell him as I remembered John and I's talk… "You just have to try…"

"I've been trying… she barely notices me… I'm not funny like Vriska nor cool like Gamzee… I'm not anything…" He whispered

"Dude your Karkat Motherfucking Vantas… I can see they all dig you! Sollux defended you when he thought I wanted in your pants. Aradia told me where you were because she was worried, Kanaya followed you yesterday because she cares for you… Gamzee said you help him stay sane… and had that horrible incident not happened he might not have met the love of his life Tavros. You're kind of their leader Karkat." I rant, "Leader's don't give up without a fight."

"… I'm a cancer to them… I shot Nepeta down… then she got hurt, Aradia only knew about that library because I told her about all the old books… I helped Tavros start the jousting club for his dad and he got paralyzed… Terezi's blind to sight, not my feelings… she's protecting herself from me and I DON'T BLAME HER." Karkat snarled, "I have HURT EVERYONE in some way! I'm not a leader… I'm a cancer." He hugged himself and teared up harder. I pulled him into my arms and gave him a hug, patting his head and shooshing him when he started whimpering.

"You're not a cancer… you're just thinking badly of yourself because you're too nice to see that the world's shit. Life is shitty Kar… so make it less horrible and get some love. If what you think is true is… TZ will shoot you down and Dirk and I will take you to get ice cream, and bitch about boys, girls and shitty celebrity break ups. We'll have a girl's day out." I smirk as he looks up and barks out a small laugh.

"Wha-hahahaha… a girl's day out with 3 guys?" He bites his lip as he tries not to laugh more.

"Fuck yeah. Manicures, make overs, and shoe shopping all around. We'll be sexy bitches in that mall. Hell, we'll be the sexiest." I smirk

"…fine… but if she doe's shoot me down we're watching all the romcoms I want."

"Ugh… fine." I fake shudder then stand up. "C'mon we need to get to the last bit of phys-" the bell rang. "Well fuck…" I felt my phone buzz and saw a text, "the fuck?"

Hey a22hat, aa took your bag two gym for you.

"That's from Sollux… that's his text quirk." Karkat told me looking over my shoulder as best he could.

"How'd he get my number?" I ask

"He's an ace hacker… his brother before teaching here worked for the FBI as an intern while in college. Sollux is even better…" Karkat shrugged

"Shit, cool." I nod and give Karkat a small one arm hug. "Good luck Kitkat, you'll be fine! Ask her at lunch… Give her a candy apple! She was eyeing yours yesterday!" I call out before getting shooed out by the librarian, Mr. D. Droog.

"Fuck off Strider, your nicknames suck!" Karkat smiled and I laughed as I made my way to the gym.

"Not as much as my mouth!" I shout back I laugh at how red he gets and even Mr. Droog smirks. I turn and see Dirk walking down the hall so I flash next to him, "Miss me sexy?" I purr in his ear.

"Definitely… especially your mouth." He smirks, guess he heard my comment.

"Kitkat needed a laugh… Vriska stole Terezi I guess." I sigh

"Aw shit… really? I mean I know they're good friends… maybe make out buddies but dating?" Dirk huffed, "We could ask her at gym…" He offers

"Nah, I talked him into talking to her… I won't interfere unless Kittykat wants it."

"Fuck how many nicknames does he get?" Dirk laughed

"I guess until I run out… jealous?" I joke.

"Maybe…" He smirks

"Sorry 'bout that babe," I hold his hand, "I guess you're too a-Dirk-able for nicknames…" I grin at my shitty puns

"Dave that was so lame I loved it…" Dirk smiled and we turned the corner to see Aradia with my bag.

"Thanks for grabbing it… Thought I'd be back in time." I explain

"It wasn't any trouble. I explained with Sollux and Mrs. Captor-Pyrope let it go since she said that 'drama's just another part to a rad life's story' so she excused you but warned us not to make a habit." Aradia smiled

"Sweet. So we're good?"

"Yes, you're 'good', is Karkat?"

"Sorta? Vriska spider-snatched Terezi apparently" Dirk started

"So Karkat's going to lay his heart out and deal with it…" I finished, "Oh if he's shot down Dirk, we're having a romcom filled girl's night out with him…" I smirk

"Cool" He nods, "Mani-pedis?"

"Of-fucking-course!" I gasp, "how could we not?!" I tsk and shake my head, "For shame on you for implying that is optional!" I nod to Aradia and olly out into the locker room. I get to my locker and throw my bag inside and grab my clothes. I look and see barely anyone's left so I take my shirt off thinking no one'd be here… but Dirk… He was behind me changing so I pulled the shirt on and kissed his shoulder where one of the darker marks were. I swatted his ass and grinned over my shades, "hurry up babe."

He grabbed my shirt, and pulled me in his arms (not that I was complaining) and moved his hands under my shirt to roam my chest. He kissed the hickey on my neck and licked it. "Don't play with fire Dave…" he let me go and put his shorts on and walked ahead of me.

"Hey way to leave me hanging…" I whine.

"You'll get burned…" He smirked.

Oh hell no…

I pulled him back and wrapped my arms around his stomach. I licked behind his ear and rubbed him over his gym shorts. "We'll both burn then…" I whisper, I let him go and grabbed only his hand so we could head to the field.

"So not cool Dave…" He whimpered, I stopped and he bumped into me, I felt his excitement on me and smirked I guess I'll fix it.

I kept walking and suddenly said, "Roxy having sex with Vriska."

"…That killed it, thanks." He sighed

"No prob…" I shrug as we start practicing archery. I glance at Terezi and Vriska and see them acting normal… not really lovey-dovey or even flirty… I nudge Dirk while we wait and nod toward them.

"I don't know… Terezi isn't exactly girly… Nor is Vriska." Dirk shrugged, I nodded and noticed Vriska looking over here and winking.

"She's flirting with me…" I tell him. He immediately stiffens and holds my hand I look up at him and pull my shades down so he can see, "Dirk. I'm not leaving." He nods but gulps a bit. "She gives me arachnophobia anyways…"

"Heh… yeah it's just… It was Vriska's cousin in France that Jake cheated on me with… and I think she knows…" Dirk shuddered

"Fuck, does bitchery run in her family?" I ask

"Not Ms. Serket… but probably…" He nods

"Fuck." I sigh, I hold his hand tightly and smirk at him, "I don't really dig bitchy girls…"

"Do you like girls?" Dirk asked

"Guess I'm bi or something, but…I don't really care. I like you." I state, I smirk at his blush his blush and rub my thumb over his hand. "It's your turn." I nod to the bows. I watch as he stands and shoots a few but then I feel someone or thing tap my shin.

"Hey Cool Kid!" Terezi cackles

"Hey Terezi… sup?"

"Why do you smell so confused?" She grins, "Boy trouble? HEHEHE"

"Guess so… how's your girl trouble doing?" I asked casually

He face looked confused, she mouth even looked like a question mark, "What girl troubles?"

"Aren't you dating Sp- Vriska?"

"HAHAHA! No we're just in an open LARP relationship! She asked me to be her date for the movies tonight that's all!" Terezi laughed

"How can you even watch a movie?" I asked

"Dave… that's offensive." She frowned, "I can 'see' fine… just not with my eyes." She took her cane and pointed up, "It's clear today after the rain," she pointed to the track, "there are 2 girls and a guy running there… and Dirk is right behind you." She grinned, "He smells like you! HEHEHE!" She grinned and looked at him, "Dave and you huh? Vriska's gonna be sad!" Terezi grinned, "She owes me $4.13 now!"

"You bet?" I asked while Dirk laughed

"Yup! HEHEHE, I just knew you'd get together before she got you! Thanks for the money!" She walked backwards then turned to tell Vriska who looked pissed and sad for a sec before calling us all dumbasses and stomped off. Terezi ran after her

"What's that about?" I asked

"Who knows with her? She's probably upset that she was wrong. Or her supreme luck didn't work?" Dirk shrugged I nod with him but I thought I saw tears in her eyes… Nah… I moved foreward and locked in my arrow, I shot it and watched as it hit the center, again and again I got the bulls-eye or near it.

"Well done Strider. Excellent even, you and Lalonde can advance to basketball with Ms. Peixes class if you wish.

"Peixes?" I turn to Dirk

"She's the swim captain and right now she's doing dodge ball in the gym." Dirk grinned

"She is a most… excited teacher." Mr. Zahhak nodded, "It is your choice…"

"Sure, if you want to Dirk." I ask, he nods so we start toward the gym.

"Rose is probably in there." Dirk recalled, "Guess this is what she meant by seeing us."

"That's fucking creepy how she's all 'seering' and not even giving me a spoiler alert to my own damn life." I rant, "Maybe I need a bit of surprise! Spice it up y'know?" I ask Dirk as I hold the door open for him.

"I could surprise you later if you want." He smirks

"I don't know… I don't love all surprises…" I smirk back

"You'll love mine." He gives me quick kiss before he steps into the main gym room where there's rock playing and kids dodging. I step in after him and go up to a woman who's wearing horned goggles like Feferi and shouting for everyone to stop slacking. Her hair's short except for two long ass braids going to her thighs.

"Zahhak send ya to me?" She grins as we nod, "Alright then fresh meat, get all in that mosh pit and dodge some balls!" She grinned and we smirked before flashing in. We dodged and pulled some pretty funny poses, including one where Dirk stood on his hands and I was a pin-up girl posing. The teacher laughed at us, "C'mon those noobs are making fun of you! I can't have them sexy-ing up gym, none of y'all serious enough!" She laughed and grabbed a ball and threw it right at Dirk, I flashed and caught it, throwing it back.

Well fuck. I hit the teacher…

"Well fuck." I sigh

"Shit…" Dirk groans

"You little bastard!" She groans, "nice throw…" She grins and throws it hard and hits me, "Be on your guard though!" she chortled as I skid back.

"Yes Ms. Peixes…" I groan

"Meenah. My batterwitch aunt is Mrs. Peixes. Bluh." She grinned down and held out her hand, "Get up Shades Mcflashy."

"That is the worst nickname ever" I smirk

"Bluh, go get cleaned up." She smirked I nodded and followed Dirk to the locker room. I changed and headed off to math I see Tavros being wheeled by Gamzee and head over to them talking about random shit. I study Gamzee when he's not looking and notice the three scars running down his face diagonally. I remember what happened but he seems so calm and happy with Tavros it's pretty hard to believe someone so relaxed could be so dangerous… he's huge yeah… but he's calm. The wildest thing about him is his indigo eyes and wild hair.

"hey Dave, guess what? I get to get have my surgery early! T-they said my vitals a fine so I am going in Sunday! I-isn't that cool?" Tavros smiled

"That's awesome Tav, we'll be waiting so we can all run around." I nod

"We'll be all up and dancing Tavros, it'll be a motherfucking miracle."

"W-well I'll still need physical therapy… but I could be up and standing in a few months!" He smiled

"That's going to be great." I nod at him.

"Freaking bitch tits wicked Tav-bro." Gamzee nodded

I saw Vriska up ahead, she glared towards us and then go into her own classroom. She looked like she was glaring at Gamzee of all people. I figured something's up with her… I shook my head; it's not my business… I walked in to math and we all did our math with Mr. Ampora but he was pretty chill with us talking and working in groups so we dicked around a lot too.

"Hey, I gotta skip lunch guys, meeting Dirk for lunch outside." I told them

"Okay Dave, have fun!" Tavros smiled, Gamzee smirked and laughed a bit before mentioning "sloppy make outs" and wheeled Tavros away.

I headed down to my locker and saw Karkat with 2 candy apples. I smile and give him a double thumbs up. "You go KittyKat!" I smirk

"Oh go fuck yourself douche sack!" He smirks back

I flash to him, "By the way, they're not dating."

"I should've know Vriska was lying…" He sighed, "and…uh thanks for… earlier Dave." He blushed

"No prob man… we're friends now right?" I shrug

"Yes I suppose so. Still think you're an irony obsessed insufferable prick… but we are friends." He smiled a little. "And hopefully we can go on double dates soon or something…" He heads toward the cafeteria and turns, "you coming?"

"Nah, I got a lunch plan." I wave him off, "Good luck! May the force be with you and shit man!"

"Yeah yeah…" He growls out

"Miss me?" I feel someone smirk against my neck.

"Absolutely…" I reply, "Where do you want to go?" I ask

"Anywhere…" He sighs and kisses my neck once.

"I think we'll find somewhere closer." I joke and take his hand as we go out the door.

"Let's just go… somewhere or anywhere…" Dirk smiles

"Sounds good." I nod
