Just a quick reminder: This is a Homestuck DaveJade story. We do realize that the kids started out as 13 years old. However, we have this set a bit in the future. The kids would be around 18 present day, so this is about 2 years in the future. Yes, we realize that most of these characters are dead but in the world of fanfiction anyone can be there. Asher is a character of our own. All Homestuck related items such as pesterlogs/pesterchum and characters belong to Andrew Hussie.
Dave
I've had a little while to myself. I don't know how long the tears stupidly flowed out of my eyes. I fell asleep for a good 45 minutes after though. I'm just laying here now, when all of a sudden I hear a knock.
"You okay in there?" I hear Bros voice.
"Y-hic-yeah" I say. Great… now I have the stupid hiccups from my dumb crying.
"Can I come in?"
"-hic- No!" I yell back as I roll over and get under my covers, burying my freakin face in my pillow. I hear the door open and Bro walks in anyways. He sits down on my bed and puts his hand on my back.
"Look little man, I know it's hard now but it'll be okay soon."
"No it -hic- won't" I say, still with these dumb hiccups, my voice muffled from the pillow. Oh great, just more proof to Bro of how uncool I am. I can't believe this is actually happening... in front of Bro. I'm never going to live this one down.
"Let me put things straight and tell you something, it's okay to like someone...but it's not okay to torture yourself over them. Maybe something is going on with Jade and her grandpa."
I didn't want to have this conversation.
"Out!" I told Bro.
"What?!"
"OUT! I need more time alone" Bro started walking toward the door.
"You 'kay little man?"
"I AM NOT LITTLE" I throw a pillow at him. I can't believe I was acting like this. It was like a stupid four year old had freakin possessed me or something.
"Look Dave, I know you're upset but you can't do things like this. You're too old." he yelled at me that time.
"I'm sorry Bro, I just am really messed up about all this." I say as I sit up, on the edge of my bed.
"It's okay. I'll leave you alone now okay? I'll be back though."
"Okay." I mumble. With that, Bro leaves and I'm by myself again. I wonder if I should try and pester Jade again. I walk over to my computer but then realize there is no point. Bro is right, she'll talk when she wants too, I guess. I don't want to be by myself again so I decide to pester John. Maybe he'll have something worth listening to.

I decided that it was worth a shot to pester Jade so I went for it.

No reply. I knew she woul-
"WHAT!?" I yell aloud.
- gardenGnostic [GG] began pestering turntechGodhead [TG] at 16:34-
GG: say it.
GG: finish your sentence
- gardenGnostic [GG] ceased pestering turntechGodhead [TG] at 16:35-
What the frick just happened? My head is sort of spinning right now. Did she really just reply? Well… she did but didn't give me any time to talk to her. What sentence did she… oh.
"Oh m-" I whisper out loud, covering my mouth. That was so stupid of me. I had to do it. Be all heroic, knight in shining armor. The weird thing is…. neither of us has ever said those words before... its been implied in so many ways. But those three words have never been said out loud. Jade once wanted me to say them. It was a great conversation. I smile at myself thinking about it and re-run the scene through my head. We were sitting on the couch together watching the television when she asked,
"Dave…."
I replied "Yes?"
"Say it"
"Say what?"
"The words" I knew exactly what she was asking but no way I was going to say them first.
"What words?"
"The three words" Nope, Im not putting it out there first.
"Which ones?"
"You know which ones!"
"Ohhhh"
"See! You get it"
"Jade, I've been meaning to tell you something for a long time now." I took off my glasses, which I rarely ever do. But I'll do it for her. So anyways, I held her hands. I looked deep into her beautiful, bright green eyes. I saw myself reflected back.
"Jade Harley I...:" I fumbled a bit
"Jade Harley I…." I took a deep breath and leaned in and whispered in her ear
"I'm the doctor."
"WHAT?!" She screamed. I looked down at the ground and smiled. I looked up at her and flipped my hair out of the way. I gave a wink.
" DAVE STRIDE-" Before she could finish and probably hit me I was up and out of there.
Those were the good times. I decide to try to pester her again just for the heck of it.
