Your name is Karkat Vantas and you are walking next to an insufferable prick.

Why? You have no idea. Something about this boy makes you want to be near him. And you can not understand why! God, it pisses you off. And the worst part is that he knows it pisses you off. Which pisses you off more. It's all just a big circle of pissy feelings. Yet here you are.

You are both walking in silence. You look at him out of the corner of your eye. He really is pretty attractive. His hair is almost white, and it looks soft. He's wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with red sleeves and you can't help feeling that it suits him. Your eyes trail up to his face. He's pretty pale, but it looks good on him. Your gaze ends up on his lips. Those soft lips that you kissed just last night.

No! What the fuck are you thinking about! Stop thinking about his lips! God, what the fuck is wrong with you? Why can't you stop looking at him?

"You seem to like staring at me. This is the second time I've caught you doing it." Your face heats up and you quickly rip your eyes off him. "I-I was not staring at you! I was looking past you. At uh..."

"At the wall?"

"Uh...y-yes! The wall."

"Nice wall, huh?"

You almost facepalm. God, you're stupid. "Also, you seem to be blushing." You look away quickly. "I'm not blushing!" He shrugs. He has one of the most smug grins that you have ever seen. "No, 'course not. The red on your face isn't blush."

"There IS no red on my face." You glare at him. He grins even more. "See? Right..." He pokes your cheek. "There." You swat his hand away. "Whatever. I'm not having this battle with you either." He sighs. "You're no fun, Karkles."

"Karkat."

"Oops, sorry Karcrab." You growl at him. "Where are you even going, Strider?" He shrugs. "I'm honestly just walking around. Nothing better to do." You both keep walking. "Why? Did you want to check out my place or something, Kitkat? Curious to see it?" You roll your eyes. "Oh yes." Your voice drips with sarcasm. "I would be estatic to see your stupid home."

He grins even more. "I knew it. No one can resist this Strider." You snort. "You think you're Mr. Cool Guy, don't you?"

"Cooler than you." He retorts, still grinning.

You look at him, smirking teasingly. "If you're cooler than me, doesn't that make me hotter than you?"

He laughs. "Nah. I'm hotter than you, too."

You mutter under your breath. You were hoping he'd get burned by that aswesome retort. But no. He just had to go and proclaim his hotness. Okay, so he is hot, but still. Jegus! Why do you keep thinking he's hot!?

You both walk in silence for a couple of minutes. You don't really know what to say. You hate not knowing what to say. Especially because you want to hear his stupid voice again. You want to hear him keep talking. He has an intoxicating voice that you can't seem to get enough of. He breaks the silence, along with your thoughts. "So Karkles, a cute little boy like you doesn't have anything to do today?"

You growl. "No I don't. Not that it's any of your business."

"Hey." He puts his hands up. "I'm just making conversation, here. Or did you enjoy walking along in an akward silence?"

"No, I didn't. But still."

"Still what?"

"Still something!"

"Still something like what?"

"Ugh, shut up!"

He chuckles. "Whatever you say, Karkitten." You are just about done with all of these nicknames. It's like he has an inventory of the things!

He looks down at his phone, recieving a text from someone. "Oh. Looks like I have to go, Karkles. Gotta meet up with someone."

"Who?" You are curious about who Dave will be spending time with. He looks at you. "If you must know, Terezi."

"You hang out with Terezi?" You don't remember seeing her with him before. Then again, you don't hang out with Terezi that much anymore.

"Well she is my girlfriend, so yeah. I do." He says it without even looking up. You stare at him, eyes wide.

You can't believe what you just heard. Dave has a girlfriend. Terezi is Dave's girlfriend. Dave is Terezi's boyfriend. Dave and Terezi are dating. It sinks in and you feel your heart sinking along with it. But why? Why do you care, anyways? So what if Dave's dating someone? It shouldnt matter in the least. Then why do you care so much? Why does it hurt to know that Dave is dating Terezi? You almost slap yourself in the face as you realize.

Great. After one fucking day. You already have a crush on Dave Strider.
