A/N: Okay so fun note (because I have no idea if I've brought this up before), all of these babies are sophomores(at the moment) in this fic. And thanks for the help, Carly~

When you arrive back at your house you all agree that chinese sounds pretty good, so Dad orders take out and you head upstairs to wait. Karkat and Dave sit as far away from each other as physically possible, so you just sat in the middle of them, smiling like a doofus. "So!" You clear your throat, "How about an ice breaker game?"

Karkat groans and you're pretty sure Dave is rolling his eyes behind his SUPER COOL SHADES. "Come on guys! Get over here!" you pat both sides next to you.

Dave strides over to you and sits down; Karkat looks over and cautiously scoots over as well. "Truth or Dare?" you ask.

"You've got to be kidding me." Karkat growls, "I'm spending my precious day off playing truth or dare in a room infested with shitty movie posters."

"Okayyyy, Mr. Grumpy! Dave, truth or dare?" You ask, smiling at the cool kid

"Dare. Go big or go home."

"I dare you tooooooo… go outside and bark like a dog on all fours."

"I'm not your sister, dude."

"Go big or go home, fuckass." Karkat mocks

"Fine." Dave huffs and storms out the room. You and Karkat open the window in your room and step out onto the balcony. Dave becomes visible in the front yard. "Are you douches ready?"

"Always." Karkat shouts back, "I love seeing you publicly humiliate yourself."

Dave flips him the bird and turns his back to you, getting on his hands and knees. "Wow look at me I'm a fucking idiot. Bark bark bark." He gets back up and dusts himself off. "Alright Karkat, truth or dare?"

"Fucking dare me, asshole." Karkat shouts down at him.

"I dare you to shout to the world that Con Air is the best movie you have ever seen and you watch it every night before you go to sleep."

"Hell no! I'd rather take some kind of punishment than that."

"Alright." Dave smirks and he looks over to you, "Then as punishment for not completing the dare you must kiss the Egderp, right on the lips, sweep him off his feet, Vantas."

You blush and Karkat's eyes go wide, "Is it too late for the con air dare?"

"Kiss the boy, Karkles."

"Fuck you, Dave!" You shout, "I am not a homosexual."

Karkat turns to you and looks you straight in the eyes, "John."

"No! No no no no!" you back up against the rail of the balcony.

"John. I am sorry for what I'm about to do, but it has to be done."

You're pressed up against the rail and there's no where to run. Karkat is slowly edging towards you. He grabs your arm gently. "Sweep him off his feet?" Karkat shouts back at Dave.

"Make him swoon." Dave replies

Karkat takes a deep breath, "Sorry." he says again. His other hand falls onto your face; his fingers lightly playing with your hair. You're completely overwhelmed and you're 99% sure you're about as bright as a tomato.

"Karkat" you gulp, "Come on this isn't cool, dude." Your heart is beating rapidly, "It's just a dare." You think, "It's not like its your first kiss. You kissed Vriska plenty of times! Just think of him as Vriska or Liv Tyler." You then try picturing the two girls, but you can't it's just Karkat leaning in and sweeping you off your feet. "This is not happening what's wrong with you J-OH MY GOD ARE THOSE BUTTERFLIES? ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Your thoughts are about to explode and then, Karkat finally closes the distance and there's- nothing. You're completely blank, no thoughts, no panicking, just the feeling of… well… you don't really know what this feeling, but it's kind of… good. Good like you don't want it to stop. Your eyes flutter closed and you press your body into the other boys. "Oh my God John what are you doing?" you think, but your body is not listening to your brain, which is shifting into "RED ALERT, DUMBASS!" Your hand slips around Karkat's waist and you pull both of your bodies as close as possible. As one kiss fades into tender kisses you realise that you are kissing one of your best bros and it is a lot less tempting to make out on your balcony. Your brain is going "John you are the worst you are going to regret this you better cut it out." but your lips don't break off and Karkat bites your lip and you moan and oh my gosh you just moaned. Karkat breaks off from you and grips your shoulders "So? Are you swooning?"

Dave gives you guys a slow clap. Your face is bright red again and you take in a deep breath, "I can't believe you two." and with that you march inside.

Despite your protests truth or dare didn't end there. By the time Dave had to leave, many dares had taken place. Dave had actually gone over to the dollar store and sang the full length Bohemian Rhapsody, Karkat got into his feels about Terezi and his past relationship, you had even sang just lose it on video and posted it on youtube. But the most important thing that had happened was that Karkat and Dave actually tolerated each other now! The three of you ate chinese in your room and watched some random horror movie you had picked off of Netflix and overall it was a pretty great night (and Jade only bothered you once!).

Karkat was going to spend the night since it was already pretty late and you felt like doing a movie marathon; there was no one else you knew who appreciated movies as much as you did other than Karkat. You switched off on choosing movies, taking turns rolling eyes at each other's choice.

It wasn't until Karkat was asleep that you started thinking about the kiss. Just thinking about it made your cheeks flush red. You decided it best to clear it out of your system and just talk to the sleeping Karkat about it. It's always good to take every chance to not embarrass yourself. "So um," you start, "I don't really know how I'm supposed to feel right now… about you, I mean." You chuckle to yourself, "I feel like I should've been disgusted by kissing you, but I wasn't. It was kind of awesome, honestly. Oh my God this is so embarrassing, I'm so glad you're asleep. I think there's something wrong with me, dude. I think about you, like more than I do about my other friends. I think about your smile and your hair and your voice. I don't really know what's going on. Why did I kiss back? God why did I kiss back?! There's something wrong with me, I know it. I'm not gay, Karkat. I just don't know what's going on right now. My head is foggy and I just… I want to kiss you again. And again. And that's not normal! At least not for me! I don't know what's wrong with me..."

You roll over on your side and look at your pals back, "What's wrong with me?" and you drift into Nic Cage filled dreams.

Karkat's POV-

You weren't asleep.
