I'm Nocturnal now so its like 6:42 AM and I'm barely getting tired. Fuck life.
John: Be Dave.
You are now Dave, and its been like, what? Five days since Karkat went "missing" or whatever? You don't even know. It was a rainy Saturday afternoon/evening. It was 6:48 PM so you don't know, you were alone in your apartment reading a book. Yes, you were actually reading. It was a shitty comic book you had in your room, so it wasn't really anything. You've read it about over a million times. You heard a knock on your door and you got up. You opened the door slightly and looked around, when your gaze went downwards you saw a small figure wearing a grey hoodie.
"Um...hi?" They lifted their head softly, and you instantly recognized them as Karkat. You closed your door, unlocked it, and opened it wider. "What are you doing here?" He was silent, and also shivering. He was completely drenched. "Do you want to come in?" He nodded slowly, walking under your arm and stepping inside, taking his shoes off. He's a classy guy. You closed the door and looked at him. "Um...I heard a while ago that you ran away from home." He nodded again, in a matter of seconds his arms were around you and he was sobbing into your chest.
After awhile of him sobbing and you trying to calm him down, he finally said that he needed some time to think and that he hadn't eaten in awhile and that he was cold. God you don't know if this kid is hopeless or if he's just pathetic. You nodded and gave him some of your clothes and showed him the bathroom. After about ten to twenty minutes he came out of there. You let him take a shower so he wasn't as cold. He was now finally speaking to you, his voice softer than it usually is.
"Thanks Dave." "It's nothing, Strider's gotta do what a Strider's gotta do." He chuckled lightly at what you said, smiling softly. You two stood there awkwardly before he asked if there was anything to eat. You had to check, god there is usually never any food here. Oh hey look, you found some canned soup. You held it up to Karkat and he nodded. Alright, soup. He can have some...soup.
~*(cutesy lil timey wimey time skip)*~
You sat on your couch again, when you felt him sit next to you and cuddle up close. You were confused for a minute before you realized he was just hugging you. You hugged him back, playing with his soft black hair. He purred quietly, nuzzling up against you, letting out a shiver. You held him close to you, trying to warm him up. He smiled at you, laying his head on your chest, you could feel the blush on your fast start to appear. He looked at you for a bit before moving away, not looking at you. Wow, what the fuck was that even all about?
"Um...Dave?" "Yeah Karkat?" "If you don't mind...is it alright if I spend the night here?" "Its no problem with me. Why do you ask?" "Its nothing...I just don't want to go home. Plus its late, so I probably shouldn't go walking all the way to my house...especially in your clothes." You nod, moving a hand over your eyes and under your shades, not even realizing that you pushed them up when you moved your hand away. And they didn't even fall back. And now he is just staring at you.
"What?" "Um...uh...um..." His face was growing red quickly, and he was now looking strait into your eyes. Holy shit you just realized your shades are on top of your head. He can see your crimson colored iris's. You slightly panic and flick your shades down, covering your eyes. He doesn't allow you to do this, so he pulls your shades off, setting them down nearby and looking into your eyes.
"Um...what are you doing?" A soft smile starts to spread on his face before he...lays his head on your shoulder and yawns. Dear god is he for fucking real? "I'm tired." You stroke his hair softly, slowly standing up. "Do you want me to get you some blan-" He cut you off instantly. "No, no...I um..." You figured it out pretty quickly. "Oh. Oh okay. Yeah, come on." You picked him up, and he instantly held onto you. You went upstairs and into your room, setting him down, he didn't let go.
"Can you sleep in here with me too Dave?" You look at him for a minute, not knowing what to say. You think of something real quick. "Let me go downstairs and grab my shades first." He nods, climbing into the bed and laying down. You hurry downstairs to grab your shades, when you see your brother, Dirk, walk in.
"Oh, hey Dave." "Hi Dirk." He looked at you and examined the room for a second. "You have someone over don't you?" "Look, he was out in the rain, it was late, so I'm letting him crash here for the night." He blinked for a second before sighing. "Alright, but if I hear anything from your room that isn't some snoring, I'm coming in to see what the fuck is going on." "Alright, I don't care. Later Dirk." "Later." You hurried back upstairs and sat your shades down on your nightstand, soon looking over towards Karkat and seeing him looking at you, he looked like he was almost asleep. You layed down next to him, closing your eyes.
And oh my god you've never been more happy in your life.
