Your name is Karkat Vantas and you must be the happiest person on Earth.
The amusement park was just the beginning of a series of great dates. Resteraunts, movies, mostly simple things. It's amazing how happy simple things can make a person. Right now you two are on another date. Dave showed you an awesome skating and arcade place, and he is now in the process of teaching you how to skate. You aren't doing so well. Dave complains that you need to get out more, try more things. You only glare at him.
"Damn you suck. Here, try one foot after the other, okay?" You nod hesitantely, and much to your displeasure, he lets go of you. You manage to stay up, though you are very wobbly. You attempt what he'd said, one foot after the other. It is a mistake, as your feet go up and you fall. You fall into Dave's arms and tilt your head up to glare back at him. He smirks down at you. "Maybe we should get some food?" He suggests. You quickly agree, glad to be out of that area. You take off the skates, and follow him to the food area. He frowns lightly, probably trying to decide what he wants. "How does pizza sound?" You nod. "Sounds good. But nothing but cheese."
He scoffs. "Whatever you say, princess." You scowl in response, not wanting to get into another nickname argument. One day, you WILL figure out a way to mess up his name somehow. And you will make sure it's something he doesn't like, too.
You order your pizza and sit at a table with it, making conversation as you eat. Once you finish the pizza, Dave reveals one last activity that this place has. "Laser tag?" You gape at him. He snickers. "What's with that look? It's fun. You'll like it." You roll your eyes. "If you say so." But you follow him to the laser tag area and you are both lead into a small room with a small crowd of people. A man who works here gestures to a rack of toy guns and vests, complete with headphones. You wonder why you need all of this stuff. Your question is quickly asnwered. "These are your weapons." He holds up one of the toy guns. "When you shoot someone on the other team, it will react with their headphones, causing a beeping sound to go off in your ear. Once you are hit, your gun will be depleted of ammo, and you will have to go to one of the various reloading stations. Put your gun in the charger, and you will come back to life and be able to get right back in the game." He sets the gun down and hands out the vests, headphones and guns. You are given a blue vest, while Dave is given a red one. You'll be on different teams. Well, so be it. But you absolutely will get him at least once.
The man gestures for the blues to go into one door, while the reds enter the other. You walk through the door, looking around in awe. It is a dark room, space themed, with fake stars scattered across the ceiling and walls. Spacey looking rocks sprout from the floor in various places to be used as cover. You quickly claim a spot behind one rock as the man's voice echoes around the room. "Please enjoy. You may now start."
Almost immediately, people are shuffling around your area, trying to get hits on the other team. You see lights flash on a few people's headphones, signalling that they have been hit. You peek around your rock and spot a red doing the same on their side. You shoot at them and feel thriumphant as a small light on their headphone flicks on. But that triumphant feeling is depleted as you hear a beep in your ear and glance over just in time to see bleach blonde hair dissapear behind a rock. Dammit, Strider.
You quickly locate the recharging station and reload your gun, joining the game again by kneeling behind another rock. You look over the spot just as someone sees you and shoots you, earning another beep in your ear. God DAMN it! Already? You growl as you head back to the recharge station and get your gun opporative once again. This time, you choose a hiding spot near the front, trying to get a view of anyone. Someone pops up and you shoot immediately, but the light doesn't go on and you realise with an angry scowl that you just barely missed. You duck back down, not leaving yourself open to be hit. After a few moments of camping down near the ground, you peek up and see your chance at getting Dave. You aim for his head, and he turns and faces you, but it's too late. You've pulled the trigger and his light goes on. You can't help grinning from ear to ear at the astounded look on his face.
The rest of the game is pent trying to hit Dave as many times as you can, which was none. By the time you hit him the first time, time was almost up anyways, so you didn't get a chance to hunt him down again. Though, he still managed to get you two more times before the man's voice returned. "I hope you enjoyed our laser tag arena, please leave your equipment on the racks in the first room, and please come again. Have a great day!" You follow the crowd out of the room and hang everything back up. Dave hangs his stuff up as well and you shuffle out of the room with everyone else. You both make your way outside to Dave's car. He drives you back to his apartment to hang out for the rest of the night, as you do frequently now.
You plop down onto his couch, letting out a yawn. "So. It seems you let your guard down in that arena." You snicker at him. To your surprise he only smirks. "How do you know that I didn't just let you hit me?"
You scowl heavily. "Bullshit. You let your guard down and you know it." He shrugs. "Who knows?"
"I know."
"Mmmmhm. Sure you do." He kicks his shoes off and joins you on the couch. "Well, bad news for me, but it's your turn to pick a movie tonight."
You grin. "Great. I have the perfect movie in mind, too." He gives you an amused smile. "Oh really? And what movie would that be?"
You grab the bag that you had brought with you for stuff to do at Dave's. Of course it's mostly filled with romcoms. You search through it, looking for the one you want. "Ah, here it is." You pull out Fifty First Dates. "Remember, I told you about this one. It's one of my favorites."
He shakes his head in exhaustion. "I knew it. I knew you'd pick a chick flick." You growl at him. "We've been over this, Dave. Chick flick is a dumb name for them. They are romcoms. ROMCOMS."
He lets out a long groan. "Oh my God, Karkat. Just put the damn movie in already." You oblige, slipping the DVD into the player and snuggling up to Dave on the couch. He puts his arms around your shoulders. You lay your head on his chest and grab the remote, hitting play when it got to the title screen.
As the movie goes by, a thought occurs to you that you are amazed you haven't asked him about before. You can't help but ask. "Hey, dave. Why do you always keep your eyes hidden?"
You can feel him tense beside you. "Uh..." You look up at him. "Come on, you can tell me." He shifts uncomfortably and keeps looking at the screen. "Isn't your policy not to talk through a movie?"
You frown at him. "Oh bullshit, like you're interested in the movie. Why is it such a big deal, anyways?"
He sighs and looks down at you. "I guess it's not with you. Sorry, this is just kind of my reflex for that question."
You give him a puzzled look. "Why?" He pauses. "Well, Bro and I have...different eyes from everyone else." This only makes you more interested. "Can I see?"
He gives you a nervous smile. "Yeah, I trust you enough to show you." He slowly grabs his shades and pulls them off, blinking down at you with the most fucking beautiful eyes you've ever seen in your life.
You stare at them, pretty sure your mouth is hanging open a bit. "Holy shit, Dave." His red pools lock with your brown ones, and he looks a bit uncomfortable. "Yeah..." Is all he says.
"No, I mean...they're fucking gorgeous..." You see his face turn a bit red, which triggers your blush slightly in return. You actually kind of like him without his shades. You can see his emotions much more easily.
"Uh...thanks. You really think so?" He asks askwardly. You nod. "Yeah. I've never seen anything like them. I think they really suit you." His face goes a few shades redder, and he stares down at you in silence for what seems like forever before pushing you down with a squeak of surprise. You can't believe that squeak came out of you, nor will you admit to anyone that it did. He presses his lips hungrily against yours, with more passion than any of the previous kisses. You return it withouth hesitation, snaking your arms around his neck to pull him closer. Suddenly, you fell something warm go over your lower lip, then realize that it was his tongue. You allow him entrance, and his tongue explores your mouth, immediately claiming dominance. You let out a soft sound and pull him down even closer to you, wanting, no, needing to feel his body against yours now. Your body feels warm, and his does as well against yours. His groin touches yours and you let out a light moan. Dave seems to realize what he did, because he does it several more times, earning more noises from you. He pulls back from the kiss from lack of oxygen, moving his kisses down your jawline to your neck, sucking and nibbling tenderly here and there. You let out moans as he travels downward, reaching the bottom of your neck.
He snakes his hands down to your waist, running them up your sides under your shirt. The light touches are driving you crazy and you need more of his touch. He kisses your lips again, running his hands all over your skin. But then both of you jump at a sudden voice.
"What the fuck do y'all think you're doing on my couch?" Dave practically jumps off of you, and you swear your heart skipped five beats. Dirk is smirking at both of you, looking highly amused. You guess he got off early tonight. Dave and you growl at him and at the same time say,
"God fucking damn it, Dirk."
AN: This chapter is a bit of a tease, sorry, but I just could not resist. ;w;
But don't worry, my lovely followers, the smut will come soon, probably in the next few chapters. I have a few plans up my sleeve at the moment, and I'll get the next chapter up soon, because I really want to write it. The next chapter should be lots of fun, as some new characters will be introduced to the story. ;)
