The look on that man's face is priceless, but honestly, you are scared shitless right now. Simon's hand comes down across Dave's face, knocking his shades to the ground. Dave looks up at Simon, locking his eyes onto the man looming over him.

Simon returns the gaze, fury turning to an incredulous expression at the red eyes. He stutters, at a loss for words before regaining his composure and turning towards you. You flinch visibly and shrink back at the look he is giving you. His expression is so full of absolute hatred and fury that you want to run, since you know what's coming next, but Dave said he would protect you, so you feel a bit more confidant. Well, enough to hold your ground, anyways. "How dare you, you miserable little runt. Haven't I taught you any better than that!?" His voice raises in anger.

You glare at him. "Taught me? What have you ever fucking taught me!?" He hisses and raises his hand to hit you. "Why you insolent little-" His hand is caught by Dave. It looks like he's going to hold his word about protecting you. Dave looks up at the man, holding his arm tightly enough to keep a hold on it. "I think that you should listen to what your son has to say." Simon only growls and rips his hand away from Dave, crossing him arms and scowling angrily at you. You take a deep breath and calm yourself down as best as you can before starting. "The only thing you ever did was drink, smoke, and sleep. What could you possibly have taught me? Kankri has an excuse for never being there. He was supporting the family, but you..." You swallow. You can't believe you're actually standing up to your father. "You never gave a fuck, never made a single Goddamn effort. You just sat on your ass while Kankri did all the work and I did the work at home. And whenever you saw me work, all you did was criticize me. Hell, you could hardly talk to me unless it WAS criticism. So tell me this, father. What Goddamn right do you think you could possibly have to say that you taught me ANYTHING?" You look him in the eye, feeling a bit shaky.

He hisses the next words slowly. "I raised you..."

"I RAISED MYSELF." You raise your own voice in the response.

Kankri looks at you sadly. "Karkat I...I had no idea that it was like that with you and father...if I'd known I would have tried to stay home more often and I-I certainly wouldn't have brought him here. I can not tell you how incrediblely sorry I am, and how much I wish I'd been there more for you..." He looks on the verge of tears, and you shake your head at him slowly. "No, Kankri...I've never blamed you. You couldn't help it. Someone had to support the family and I was too young. And this asshole obviously wasn't going to do anything." You gesture to Simon, who growls in anger. "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be who you are today."

You return your gaze to the man. "You're right about one thing. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know so well how to support myself. But I won't thank you for it, because you don't deserve a thank you."

Simon stays silent, only giving you the scariest expression you've ever seen. But you don't care. Right now you feel...empowered and free to say whatever you want to him. And God does it feel good to get this off of your chest.

"And yes, father. I am bi, but there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. And you don't have any say in it anyways." You continue, Dave and Kankri still watching in silence.

"It is wrong, boy." He grits his teeth.

"It's ironic how in all of your old political nonsense, you strove for equal rights for everyone. How did you ever become so unaccepting?" You have no idea how you are staying this calm, when inside you're screaming your head off.

Again he stays silent. After a long silence, Kankri speaks up. "I believe it might be in everyone's best interest if I take father to a hotel before we leave town..."

You look at your brother. "Are you going to come back again, Kankri?" He nods. "Absolutely. I haven't seen you in so long, I have to spend some time with my brother." He turns to Dave. "Also, I can't help but feel that I would like to further inspect this boy. I am your brother after all. But I'm sure there's nothing to worry about, considering the fact that he cares enough to be here for you." You think you see Dave give the ghost of a smile. You still don't understand why he hides his emotions so much in front of people he doesn't know very well. You don't really need to know though, since he shows a good bit of emotion around you.

Kankri smiles at both of you as Simon opens the door and stomps out of the apartment. "How about dinner?" You nod. "Yeah. That sounds good."

"Do you know of any good places around here?" He asks. Dave answers. "There's a chinese buffet not far from here called Hibachi. How about eight?" Kankri nods and hugs you quickly. You pat his back and he gives you a smile before turning towards the door. "See you tonight, Karkat, Dave." You wave. "See you." The door closes and you lean against the wall, letting out a deep sigh. You and Dave stand in silence before you crack a grin. You begin laughing, and after a moment you are doubled over, laughing your ass off. Dave raises his eyebrows at you. "You okay, Karkat?" You respond, still laughing. "Did you...see his face...when you said we...we were dating!? I've never...never seen him that dumbfounded!" You are probably laughing a little more than you should be, but maybe a good laugh is due from you. Dave chuckles at you and picks up his shades, inspecting them for cracks. "Whew. They're alright." He breathes. You recover from your fit after a few moments and grin at him. He blinks at you. "Man, you sure are acting weird. Are you sure you're okay?"

You just hug him in response. He hugs you back, and you bury your face in his shirt. "I couldn't have said any of those things if you weren't there. Thank you so much, Dave." He rests his chin on the top of your head. "No problem, Kitkat." You roll your eyes. "That nickname is still dumb as fuck."

"How many times do I have to convince you that nicknames suit you?"

"You've never convinced me. I simply stopped arguing."

"Oh, you know it's true."

"Shoosh. You're ruining the moment, Strider." You complain, hugging him tighter. He only chuckles before sliding his arms down further and lifting you suddenly off of the ground. You let out a squeak of surprise that you hope he didn't hear. He probably did. "Wh-what are you doing?" He grins and walks you both into the livingroom. "You'll see. Also, that squeak was cute as fuck." Yup. He heard it. He deposits you onto the couch and climbs onto you, crashing his lips down onto yours. You are taken momentarily by surprise before returning the kiss, wrapping your arms around the back of his neck and pulling him down against you. God this Strider gets you flustered.

He nibbles at your bottom lip, and you let your lips part, allowing his tongue to explore for the second time.

His hands are moving down your sides, then up your shirt, sending shivers through you at the touch. He moves his hands everywhere under your shirt. The small of your back, your shoulder blades, down near your pant line. You don't know how much more of this you can take before you go completely crazy. Last time you were interrupted, but how far exactly were the two of you going to go? Would you have been ready to go all the way? Would you be ready now? You have no idea, but there's only one way to find how how far you can go now. You decide to let him know that you are ready to go father by rolling your groin up onto his. He breaks the kiss in surprise, and you look him in the eyes, panting lightly. He seems to get the message because he picks you up again and carries you to your room. You don't protest at being picked up this time.

He dumps you onto the bed and immediately gets to work, lifting your shirt over your head and kissing down your neck, making his way down to your chest. Soft noises escape your throat one after another. He unbuttons your pants and you help him get them off. He's a bit too clothed to you, so you reach up and tug his shirt up. He slips it the rest of the way off and then moves to your boxers. He slides them down, revealing your erection. Somehow, your face manages to get darker. Damn he is moving fast. He must need this as badly as you. He kisses the tip of it, drawing a small sound from you.

He licks circles on the tip, and your eyes flutter closed at the sensation running through your body. He takes the entire tip into his mouth, making you moan softly. He begins to bob his head, taking more and more of your member into his mouth with each one. Your moans become louder and you toss your head back. Dave begins going faster, and just as you feel something coming, he pulls back, causing you to whimper. He smirks at you and pulls his own pants and boxers off. You stare at his body, blushing hard. Damn he's sexy and it's driving you crazy. "I don't supposed you have any lubricant?" He asks. You shake your head. "Then I guess I'm going to have to go in dry." He says. You nod.

He positions the tip of his erection at your entrance. You let out a small gasp as he pushes in slowly with a moan. Once he's fully in, he pauses for you to give him the okay to move. It stops hurting after a moment or two and you nod to him. "Okay.."

He draws out almost completely before thrusting back in, making you moan loudly. He grunts as he thrusts over and over again, and you take hold of the bed sheets, needing something to grab onto. You moan even louder as he hits your special spot, and he seems to have noticed because now he's hitting it again and again.

With each thrust, you feel yourself closer and closer, and by the noises coming from the taller male, you aren't the only one. After a few more thrusts, you come with a loud moan. Dave comes shortly after, and you both collapse beside each other. He wraps his arm around your waist and pulls you closer, and you snuggle up against him. "Damn , Karkat." He kisses the top of your head. "Damn is right." You say, finding yourself smiling.

You both lie like that for a few minutes before you sit up. "We should probably both take showers." You say. "Might be a good idea." He grins at you. You stand up and grab some new clothes out of your dresser. "I'll be done in a few minutes." You say. "Okay." He stretches out on your bed, obviously not caring that he's still naked.

You take your shower, this time only thinking about Dave. The thought of what you just did makes you blush, but no way in hell do you regret it. That was nothing but amazing, and honestly, you can't be more happy that your first time was with Dave.

Your shower is quick, and soon you hop out and dry off. You throw on your clothes, a dark grey sweater and black pants, and return to your room, where Dave is still lying on the bed. "You can go ahead and get a shower now." You say. He sits up and stretches out. "Okay, thanks."

Once he finishes his shower, you turn on a movie to pass the time until dinner with Kankri. Dave, of course, falls asleep during it, since pretty much all you own are romcoms. What else is new?

But eventually it's time to go, so you wake Dave up and leave the apartment, heading to Dave's first so he can change his clothes.

That doesn't take long, and soon Dave is parking his car in Hibachi's parking lot, and you both head inside, thinking about how well this day has turned out.

AN: Leeeeemmmmmooooonn. Sorry this chapter is so bad. I couldn't get to sleep, so I started writing, then near the end I got tired. My smut writing skills are terrible, so sorry. But I tried and that's all that matters. Right? Right. *Le yawn* Well, I think that I should hit the hay. So G'night, lovelies. uvu
