Chapter 2: Trouble Makers and Confessions (Pt. 1)
Dave's P.O.V
Dave watched as his beloved friends walked away to class. "How do you tell someone you love them, if they're obsessed with someone else?"
Dave frowned and ran to the bathroom, pulling out his iPhone and scrolling through his recent calls, finding his brother Dirk's number.
It rang for a long while until Dave heard laughing. "Dirk…"
"What's up?" responded the Strider with his full attention on his younger brother.
"Egbert… he still loves Jade, and it's worse than I thought. How will I be able to tell him that I… well you know-"
"Calm down dude. Striders don't freak out like this. Now, try getting John to turn all his negative feelings over Jade's death into positive ones. As in, being happy she was ever in his life in the first place. Then like, slip in a few 'I love you's 'here and there and BAM."
Dave whined. "But he's so heartbroken, how could I get into his life anyway? What if he doesn't love me back? What is he is truly not a homosexual?"
"DAVE, CALM THE FUCK DOWN DUDE."
"Do as I say. And get to class. We'll talk this over later."
The douchebag hung up on him. "Great."
Dave walked out not showing emotion on his face as best as he could.
"Hey look, it'sth Sthrider." Dave looks over to see his former posse, that consisted of; Eridan Ampora, some stuttering asshole that initiated Dave to join their group in the first fucking place, Gamzee Makara, the always high guy who has this weird fucking obsession with clowns and shit, Sollux Captor, dude with the stolen 3D shades and a lisp, and of course, his ex-girlfriend who for some reason is hanging out with these goofballs, (most likely because of Makara) Terezi Pyrope.
"What the hell do you want Ampora?" hissed the blonde.
"Just w-wondering w-when you'll decide to join us again." He smirked.
"After what you did to John… there's no fucking way I'll-"
"Thath fag you lefth Therezi for?" Sollux laughed and Terezi remained quiet holding onto the clown freak's hand tightly.
"Bet you never even fucked him!" Oh hell. Fucking hell. John knew that voice all too well.
"Vriska…" Dave hissed. Dave hated her with a passion, that spider-loving, eight ball obsessing, bitch-
"Dave Strider, cool and ironic as always!" exclaimed Vriska interrupting Dave's thoughts.
"I have no time to deal with you assholes."
"Assholes? W-what's w-wrong Prince of Time our timing is all w-wrong? It w-wasn't w-wrong back then when-"
Dave had the scarf wearing fucker who just crossed him up against the lockers. "Don't you ever call me by that name ever again…"
"Now, now, now. What are you sophomores doing?" A very articulate voice was heard. "Uh-oh… it'sth Vantasth' brother!" exclaimed Sollux.
Dave dropped Eridan and the Ampora began breathed heavily, trying to catch his breath. "As a responsible senior, it is my job to make sure all underclassmen are where they are supposed to be and following all the rules addressed by the school. Porrim, do assist me in escorting these trouble makers to the principal's office."
Porrim Maryam, and Kankri Vantas. Porrim was someone everyone respected out of intimidation, she had a lot of tattoos and was the bad cop out of her and Kankri's… Lecture cop, bad cop, I guess..? Kankri was Karkat's older brother and would go on and on about a situation and eventually mention some sort of social justice matter in the situation.
Porrim eyed Dave. "You're a friend of Rose, yes?" Dave nodded. She whispered something to Kankri. "Well, I do trust your judgment, Porrim… Strider, you can go."
Porrim smiled sweetly as she dragged the remaining gang off to the principal's office with Kankri blowing his whistle and walking beside her.
Dave suddenly understood. Porrim was Kanaya's older sister, and Kanaya was Rose's girlfriend, and Rose was his former cousin, who is now one of his best friends.
Wow do connections come in handy.
Dave proceeded to 2nd period, seeing as he missed his first period. "He sat down in the chair next to a disabled kid named Tavros near the window where his Bro taught him all the anime protagonists sit. He was slightly early, so as John filed in with the rest of the class, (seeing as Rose did not have this class with them) he watched him take his seat. Normally, he would've called out to him to sit with him, but Dave was slight distracted by his thoughts.
"John… nng… so good… right there, ah-ahh!" Dave sat underneath his sheets on a Saturday morning pumping his member as fast as he could, moaning his best friend's name over and over again before he reached his climax. "Nnng… fuck.." he breathed out heavily.
"Dave..?"
The strider froze. It was John's voice.
"Bro said you were up here… but I see this is a bad time." Shit, why'd he have to turn up now?
"I'll just go then! Um… I won't tell anyone either."
He did however keep his promise and the two never spoke of it again. Dave was extremely embarrassed however, and John seemed to flinch whenever he came in contact with the blonde.
Dave managed to fall asleep after exhausting himself from such an embarrassing memory. "Dave, class is over. Let's go."
Dave wiped the drool from his mouth and walked off with his favorite brunette.
"Dave! John! Salutations!" Dave was greeted was Jake, followed by Roxy and Dirk who simply waved.
John smiled and waved while Dave just stared.
"John, could you come with me for a second?"
John nodded and was pulled by Dave, dragging him to the old gym that no one used. "John… now isn't a good time, and I just got done reliving a horrible and embarrassing flashback of us but, I love you and I need you to know this."
John widened his eyes. "Dave, I'm flattered but-"
"I know you're still hung up on Jade and probably don't want a relationship. But please here me out?"
John simply nodded.
"I feel horrible for what happened to Jade, but I'm secretly glad because now I can have all your attention without her name coming from your mouth. It's dumb, I'm not even worthy of being a Strider because of this."
John leaned in and kissed Dave on the lips.
Wait, John kissed Dave?
What the fuck?
Questions raced through Dave's mind rapidly.
"Dave, it's not that I can't love anyone because Jade is gone. I just can't be as romantic or excited. I love you too, and I've enjoyed the times where we've fallen asleep on each other, held hands ironically to protest against homophobes, and other things. Especially, after leaving your own clique just to help me and Jade out! I loved you a lot then."
Dave smiled.
"But, I'm not sure you'd want someone like me anyway. I don't even know if I'd take our relationship seriously because of this tragic event!" John began to tear up.
"Jade was so precious! Always making food to bring to the poor, growing flowers and sharing them with everyone she encountered. Giving a positive vibe off to those around her! She was a joy; when I began to go through that horrible depression, she would even stop doing her homework just to be sure I was okay. She cleaned up my wounds… she was everything to me. EVERYTHING DAVE!"
The blonde pulled the shorter brunette into a tight hug. "I couldn't protect Jade, Dave…" Dave stroked his head and kissed him passionately on the mouth.
"I know you're hurting, so please fulfill Jade's wish and let me take care of you-"
Shit.
"Jade's wish? What wish?"
Shit. Shit. Shit.
"Er…" Dave began to sweat.
"Dave…?"
"Look John, would Jade really want you wasting your whole goddamn life moping over her death? Would she be happy or sad?" Dave spat out.
"She'd…" John whimpered.
Dave continued. "Would Jade enjoy seeing you like this? That would've meant all her hard work to keep you happy would've been for nothing if she can't trust you to stay strong when she is no longer around!"
John's body went limp in Dave's arms as he began to bawl his eyes out.
"Jade! I'm sorry! I'll do my best to be happy for you!" screamed John.
Dave held him close and whispered reassuring thoughts in his ear. "You should rest…"
"I don't want to go home, Dave." groaned John.
"Wanna stay at my place, then?" asked Dave softly.
John nodded and Dave smiled.
Stop pretending as if I didn't know Jade as well. We both have our secrets with her.
Mines are just… a little more intense.
HI GUYSSS. Okay, so I'm posting the first two chapters now, and since I'm on break, I can start on the next ones!
Forgive me if this one is a little rushed, I needed to get these two together as quick as possible so the real story can begin!
I'm excited, I recently deleted all my previous fanfics and I'm starting anew.
Please review! I can use the criticism. (But be nice.)
And also... I do realize Dave and John were a little OOC. (At least to me...) But do not worry! They will be fine!
/Of course for a little while (っ◔‿◔)っ
Anyway, I've got homework and cosplans to work on and sort out. ;w;
