Your name is Karkat Vantas and you just scored yourself a boyfriend.

The rest of your night consisted mostly of showing each other movies, and messing with his turntables. He showed you some of his beats, and even let you try to make some of your own. It didn't turn out very well. Turns out you aren't meant to be a dj. Ever. You ended your night by showing him a romcom called The Proposal, which he fell asleep during. You ended up falling asleep in his lap when the movie was over, and now you are waking up, still in his lap, the next day.

You didn't plan to spend the night here, but it doesn't matter since you don't have work today. Today is Tuesday, and you always have Tuesdays off.

You blink in surprise at first, not sure of where you are because of being half asleep. Then you remember and you relax. You look over at Dave, who is now starting to wake up. He yawns and looks over to you. He fell asleep with his shades on last night. He smiles down at you. "Morning, sunshine."

"I'm hungry." You respond.

He laughs. "Okay, what do you want?" You shrug, stretching out your arms. "What do you have?"

He thinks for a few seconds. "Uh, not much. I think we have some microwavable pancakes, leftover pizza, sanwiches, and cereal."

You contemplate what out of that sounds good to eat right now. "The pizza sounds good." You suggest. He nods and gets up. "Pizza it is."

You follow him into the kitchen, stepping over puppets here and there. He makes his way to the fridge and pulls out a plastic bag with slices of pizza in it. "Bro'll probably be up soon, so I'm gonna heat some up for him, too." He says, getting down some plates. You blink. "I don't remember seeing anyone come home last night."

He nods. "I know. He probably came home some time after your movie ended. How many pieces do you want?"

"Two." He grabs a round pan and puts six pieces on it. "And that reminds me." You add, pouting a bit. "You fell asleep before it was over."

He puts the pan in the oven, setting it to the right temperature. "That's because I got bored." He sets the timer.

"What!" You exclaim. "How could you have possibly gotten bored of that movie? It's so good! It's funny, and heart warming, and just a great movie in general."

He scoffs. "Easy there, Karkles. It just isn't my type of movie." You huff out a breath. "Whatever. Maybe you'll like Fifty First Dates better."

He groans humorously. "Dude, not another one." You pout harder. "Aw, come on, Dave. I promise, It's really good! The story is so touching, and it's a real tear jerker at parts. Plus, It's absolutely hilarious."

"I'm sure it is, but I'm not into those types of movies. Chick flicks just don't interest me."

You cross your arms. "They aren't 'chick flicks.' They are romcoms." He chuckles. "Dude, it's the same thing."

"Is not."

"Yes it is."

"No it isn't, Dave!"

"Yup."

You glare at him. "God dammit, Dave. You really love giving me a hard time, don't you?"

He grins. "You bet." You growl. "Well It annoys me!" He grins. "That's sort of the point, babe."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait. Did you just fucking call me 'BABE?'" God damn him with his stupid nick names! You know he only does it to get to you, but the problem is that it actually does get to you! He's such an asshole. But you guess he's your asshole now. No, wait. That sounded bad even in your head. That was just plain awful. You make a promise never to even think that again.

"I sure did." He grins. You glare at him. "We've literally been dating for one night, and you think you can call me that? Seriously, Dave. No. Just, don't call me that."

"Sure thing, babe." He walks over to the fridge as you growl at him. "God fucking damn it, Dave. You really are an asshole."

He shrugs and opens the fridge. "It's what I live for. Want a drink while we wait for the pizza?"

You sigh. "Sure. Can I have another soda?"

He nods and pulls out the liter of soda. "Sure." He says, pulling out a bottle of apple juice as well. He pours you a cup of the soda and you take it with a small "Thanks."

Before he can say you're welcome, a voice cuts him off. "Who's this?"

You and Dave both look up at a shirtless blonde wearing pointy anime shades. He's gesturing to you. Dave introduces you. "This is Karkat Vantas. Karkat, this is my older brother."

"You can call me Dirk." He says.

"Uh, yeah. Sure. Nice to meet you, Dirk." You nod at him. He replies with a more exhagerated southern accent than Dave's. "Nice to meet you too, Karkat."

He walks the rest of the way into the kitchen. "You cookin' pizza?"

Dave nods. "Yeah. I put a couple of slices in for you. They're almost done."

Dirk walks over to the fridge and grabs an apple juice. What is with this family and apple juice? And shades, too. What is even up with that?

"So." Dirk leans against the counter. "I noticed him last night when I came home. Asleep on your lap, with the title of a chick flick on the tv. Were you two having a date or something?"

You blush lightly. You kind of wish no one had seen you cuddling up to him. Dave shrugs. "No, that wasn't a date. We haven't had our first date yet. We actually just started dating last night, so it wouldn't make sense if we'd already had a date."

Dirk grins. "So you two are an item. Well good for you, Dave. You got a cute boyfriend."

You scowl. Great. Like one Strider calling you cute wasn't enough. Dave grins. "I know. A cute boyfriend who like to cuddle. How much more lucky can I get?"

You growl, blushing and feeling a bit embarrased. "Oh shut up, Dave." They both only grin more at your response.

"So, Bro." Dave starts. "How about you? Been going well with Jake?" You wonder who Jake is. Maybe Dirk's boyfriend? You wouldn't doubt it.

Dirk smiles. "Yeah, we've been talking over video chat a lot."

You jump a bit as the timer goes off loudly suddenly. Dirk chuckles and Dave snorts, causing you to blush. "Don't laugh at me, you assholes. I was just...caught off gaurd."

Dave grins more as he turns the timer off and pulls the pizza out. "Really? We couldn't tell from when you jumped ten feet in the air."

"Oh shut up, dammit!" You fume. This only causes them both to laugh. Dave puts two pieces on each plate, and hands you one. You take it, glaring at him. He feigns an innocent look and hands Dirk his plate. Dirk points at the pan. "Don't forget to put that in the sink." He says. Dave waves his hand at him. "Yeah, yeah. I'll get it done."

Dirk scoffs. "Sure you will. Then later you'll say, 'yeah, okay, Bro. I'll do it later.'"

Dave frowns. "But I will do it later."

Dirk mumbles an "Mhmm." He looks over at you. "This is why nothing gets done around here." He grins. You roll your eyes, smiling a bit. This family is definately interesting.

"Well." Dirk says, pushing away from the counter. "Nice meeting you, Karkat." He says, and leaves the kitchen with his pizza. You nod in response.

Dave smiles at you. "How about we go watch some tv while we eat this?" You nod. "Yeah, sounds good."

You both walk out to the living room and sit on the couch. Dave flips on the tv and switches the channel around before settling on AFV. Which is good. You like this show. Then again, who doesn't like a show about a bunch of idiots making fools of themselves? No one you know, that's for sure.

You watch it, laughing together while eating your pizza. At the end of the show, Dave takes your plate and his to the sink, then comes back and sits back down. "Who doesn't get stuff done around here?" You grin.

He smiles back at you. "So what do you want to do now?"

You think. "Hmm I don't know. How about a video game?"

He nods. "Sure, we can use Bro's Xbox or my old Playstation 2."

"Okay. What games do you have?" You ask. "Come here, I'll show you." He stands up and walks over to his room. You follow him. He leads you over to a stack of games. "Holy shit. You have a lot of games."

He sighs. "Yeah I know. I used to play my PS2 all of the time, so I wanted a lot of games. But I don't really play it that much anymore. I've actually been thinking about selling most of these games."

"Oh. Well, how about this game?" You pick up the one on the top of the stack. It looks weird. He smirks. "I'm pretty good at Katamari Damacy, dude. You sure you want to challenge me at that one?"

You nod. "Yeah. It looks...interesting?"

He chuckles and takes the game. "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you."

You roll your eyes and follow him back into the living room. "Whatever."

He hooks the console up to the tv and inserts the disk, then hands you one of the remotes. You plop down onto the couch, followed by Dave. The game starts up and you see that he gave you the player one remote. You try to navite the character to the 'new file' option, but it won't move. "Dave, I think your remote is broken or some shit. It isn't working."

He shakes his head. "No, you have to use both analog sticks at the same time in this game."

You try it out. The character moves. "That's fucking stupid." You scowl, navigating him into a new game. He shrugs. "Just how it works."

Your response is lost as the opening scene plays. You can't even descibe how confused you are. What the fuck is even going on? The are mushrooms, and pandas, and Mt. Fuji, and some disturbing huge dude flying around. What the actual fuck kind of game did you choose?

Dave grins at your gaping face. "Dude, you can skip through all of this." He reaches over and hits the x button, making it skip the scene.

You just stay silent as you read through the text, and eventually get to the tutorial. You move the character around with both analog sticks as you'd been told, getting through the tutorial fairly quickly. The game then takes you to the first level. "I thought this game was two player?" You ask, rolling up objects onto the ball that the character is rolling around.

"It is. I just wanted to let you get through the first level to get the hang of it." You nod. "Okay."

You finish the first level, then read through the dialogue following it. Once that is done, it takes you to your home planet. Dave points to a giant mushroom floating in space in the background. "Okay, hit L1 to go to the mushroom."

"What are we going to the mushroom for?"

"That's where you go to get to the two player mode. Now press L1."

"Oh, okay." You press it. The character flies through space over to it. Many different colored characters are walking around on the mushroom. Dave teaches you more. "Now pick which one you want to be." He picks a black and red character.

You decide just to stick with the first, green character. It takes you into two player mode, splitting the screen in half. "Alright, here we go." Dave says.

The timer starts counting down and you roll off of the platform, manuevering your katamari around the arena you were placed in. You pick up different objects, trying to make your katamari bigger than Dave's. It's not working. Dave's katamari is easily bigger than yours already.

You ram into an object that is too big to roll up yet, causing an object from your katamari to fly off. Dave smirks. "Dude you suck. Look how small your katamari is." You growl. "Shut up, Dave."

He shrugs. "Whatever you say."

You frown and continue to concentrate on the game. Dave's character rolls you into his katamari. "What the fuck!? How can you even do that? This game is stupid!"

Dave laughs. "Dude, just get your katamari out. It shows you at the bottom of the screen how to do that."

You look at the bottom of the screen and do what it says to do. It works, expelling you from his katamari and splitting the screen in half again. You scowl. Time is running low, and Dave is winning easily. Dammit, you're so awful at these things.

The timer reaches the thirty second mark. There's no way you're to win this round, but you aren't giving up yet. All that's left in the arena are small objects that won't make much of a difference. Oh well, they're better than nothing. You continue to roll them up until the timer buzzes and Dave wins. "You know what, fuck this game! It's so stupid and fucked up! How do you even fucking roll me up like that!? Seriously what the fuck is wrong with the people who made this shitty monstrosity?"

Dave grins. "So wanna play another round?"

You pause before muttering, "...yes..."

He chuckles. "Thought so."

You two end up playing this game for a while. He wins all but a very few amount of the rounds. Eventually though, you get fed up with the game. And it's not because you lost so much or anything. It's just that uh...it was getting boring. Yeah, that's it. It was getting boring. Right.

For the rest of the time you stay there, you two watch some movies together. Unfortunately they aren't romcoms. You could really go for a romcom. Wait. When couldn't you go for a romcom? Probably never. Romcoms are always welcome to you.

Eventually it starts to get late, and Dave decides to drive you home. You try to turn him down since you usually just walk most places, but he won't have it. Eventually you give in and let him drive you home. He gets you there pretty quickly and pecks you on the lips and says goodnight. You say goodnight as well and walk up to your apartment, locking the door behind you and immediately going to your room to sleep. You have good dreams that night.
