Chapter 5!
It's actually a little bit late, but eh.
And hey! Thanks for the reviews guys! Motivation means more chapters!
...
He used to always do things just for the 'irony'. And there had to be one day when I got so pissed at him for it.
It was during Christmas break, and I was hanging out with him and John.
The three of us had been getting closer. And I think they were starting to actually warm up Gamzee a little. Maybe, but I could never tell.
But it was during on of those days that Dave really pissed me off.
I never got to see his eyes. I wanted to, but he never let me.
And he was always wearing those stupid aviators. John said he liked them, that they made Dave look 'swag'. Of course, Dave laughed at that, because John looked stupid trying to say 'swag' wile looking cool.
He looked like a loser.
But there was one day, when we were hanging out at John house playing video games. I had gone into the other room to get popcorn.
When I came back, I kinda just wanted to beat the shit out of Dave.
And I mean, I pretty much always wanted to beat the shit out of him. But this was the one time I was almost about to actually do it.
He pissed me off on a regular basis, but rarely did I ever get angry with him. I don't even remember what set me off that day, because it wasn't just the glasses, it had been something else too.
I think it had something to do with the weather, actually?
You hate winter. Really you do. It's your least favorite season.
Maybe autumn is your favorite, but it could always be summer. It depends on your mood.
But winter will always be at the bottom of the list.
Everything about winter just kinda pisses you off, really.
It's not just the cold, it's the fact that the cold offers up the perfect option for guys to be romantics and it really ticks you off.
...
John, You, Jade, Dave, and Sollux are all going to hang out at your house today. You went and met Jade, John and Dave at the park down the street and Sollux is supposed to join you guys in a bit.
Currently, though, you are fuming at Jade Harley and her perky boobs that have attracted the attention of one Dave Strider.
What makes those lumps of giggling meat sacks so appealing? You have no idea, but Dave sure loves whatever it is.
And fuck is it cold outside.
"Aren't you cold?" he asks, smiling knowingly down at the shivering girl.
"Oh shut up, Dave!" she giggles, rubbing her hands together to try and warm them up.
Those two sicken you. Totally and completely. Harley needs to hop off his dick damn it. Because back the fuck up bitch, he's spoken for.
Well, not that he knows that...but that isn't the point.
He chuckles again, and you watch as he slips his jacket off his shoulders and plops it on her head.
Pissed off, and not wanting to say something stupid, you stop ahead of the group and enter your house.
...
It sucks.
The cold, the snow, the no school.
Well, that last part isn't so bad.
But you never really get to see many of your friends during the break.
You just kinda, lay in bed, trying to ignore your brother.
You hate Kankri.
He's annoying as shit sometimes.
"Karkat you need to get up and do something. Maybe study. You could always use to study more, you know you want to go to a good college, and you can only do that if you have good grades. I'm not saying that your grades are bad, but they aren't the best. Besides, you can always do better, you kno-"
he starts ranting about something you don't care about, and you just tune him out. It's not like you care what he has to say, anyways.
Because really, shut the fuck up Kan. No one is listening.
Sometimes you think he just likes listening to himself talking for hours on end.
He's a prick.
Everyone is a prick.
John is a prick.
Eridan too.
Even Gamzee, because he's so busy with Tavros. He has no time for his best motherfucking friend.
Sollux isn't a prick, he's just really fucking sick right now.
Dave isn't a prick either. You know that. It's not his fault you hate winter.
He's probably out there right now playing around in the snow like a loser. Making snow angels and the like.
You laugh, out loud, at the thought of him building a snowman, placing his aviators on it's face so it looks 'cool'.
Then you laugh at how he would make a pun about the snowman being 'cool' or 'chill'.
You wonder what it would be like to go out and have a snowball fight with him.
He would probably try to push you into the snow. Just because he's that much of a dick.
He might even force you to make snow angels with him.
What a laugh that would be.
Watching him roll around in the cold as shit whiteness and smiling up at you.
Then the two of you would go home for hot cocoa and snuggle under blan-
"Karkat, your phone is buzzing. Who's Dave?" Kankri picks up the offending object and holds it out to you.
He interrupted your thoughts. What a prick.
You take your phone from him with an frown and look at the message.
'yo. get your sorry ass over to johns we got movies.'
Dave. Mother-fucking-Strider.
You jump right out of bed and rush over to your closet, sending him a text, saying you'll be there in a bit.
Clothes.
You need to do laundry this weekend. You know that, but you just don't feel like it.
Besides, you have enough clean clothes that you should be fine for another couple days.
Or something.
You ignore Kankri, and his insistent ranting about keeping a clean room, and blah blah blah bullshit.
Your Dad waves goodbye to you when you tell him you are going out for a bit.
Then it's off to Johns.
...
When Dave said they had movies, you didn't think he meant Con Air.
Because this movie sucks.
How did Dave get wrapped up in watching this with John.
The derp with glasses has already seen this movie a dozen times.
More than a dozen, actually.
You know that.
But does Dave know that?
Apparently not.
"He says it's his favorite." Dave shrugs when you ask him if he knows.
Of course it's his favorite. You already knew that.
"Hey Katkar. Get us some popcorn would you?" he asks after a moment. John looks over to you with wide pleading eyes.
He wants popcorn too.
You roll your eyes and stand with a grumble.
This is not the first time they have made you a slave in Johns house. It will also not be the last.
You know this, even as you walk over to John's kitchen for the popcorn.
Deciding that kettle corn is the far more superior, you put that in the microwave and wait by it.
Sometimes you hate these two, but you can't help doing whatever Dave asks you to do.
All it takes is a smile from Dave, and you are willing to do just about anything.
It doesn't help that John has the dumbest puppy dog eyes you have ever seen in your life.
The beep telling you the kettle corn is done startles you because you forgot that you were making popcorn in the first place.
Grumbling again, you pull a bowl down from the cabinet to poor it into.
You burn yourself trying to open the bag, and let out a curse.
"You okay Kitten?" Dave shouts from the living room. You can hear the smile on his face, and you ignore the nickname.
"Fucking fine." you grumble back.
You hate it when he comes up with new nicknames, because they just get you all flustered. It honestly really annoying.
But also...kinda endearing? Maybe just a bit.
You pick up a piece of the popped corn and munch on it as you make your way back into the living room with the bowl in your hand.
You contemplate dumping it all on Dave's head, but decide that would probably just make him laugh at you. Plus that's such a waste of good food.
You look over to Dave and notice his aviators hanging from his shirt.
The thing that pumps blood through your body stops for a second, and you have to order it to start moving again before you die. That would no be fun.
Then you look up at his face, hoping to finally get a look at his eyes.
He turns to look back at you, and you swear, he's going to get beat up.
In place of his aviators, are a pair of neon pink hipster sunglasses that read 'Swag' across the lenses.
"Hey, you're back."
"What the fuck are you wearing." you growl at him, sitting down on the couch next to him with the bowl between you.
"It's ironic." he replies.
You throw a piece of popcorn at his face and watch as it bounces off the glasses.
You hate winter, really you do.
You fall asleep at some point during the movie, and wake up to the smell of something baking.
DadEgbert loves baking, this you know for a fact. It is something you have known for a long time, actually.
Why he loves it so much, you have no idea, he just does.
Usually, you don't mind so much, but at the moment the smell is quite horrible.
Not in the gross way, it just smells too...sweet.
Do not confuse, you love sweet things, really truly, but it's so sickeningly sweet that it makes you blanch.
"You finally up, sweetness?" Dave asks.
You look around for him, before looking down.
Jumping up and away from Dave you finally realize you were laying on him.
He laughs at you, and fuck you are so done.
Everything is pissing you off today, and he picked the wrong day to fuck around with your feelings, really he did.
"What the fuck is always so damn funny?!" you shout at him, forgetting that the Egbert's don't take kindly to cursing.
"You." he boops your nose, and you lose it.
Completely lose it.
You slap his hand away from your face and glare at him.
"Don't touch me. Don't laugh at me. Don't fucking talk to me." you growl out, standing and walking straight out the door.
You do not look back until you are almost a block away and realize you had no reason to be so upset with him.
As you walk home, you feel worse and worse about how you acted, and feel no better when you finally reach your room.
Flopping face-down onto your bed, you cry until you fall asleep.
...
