Chapter Six
Dave stayed with John the whole weekend. He stayed up half the night, cuddling John in his arms as he slept. He would look out the window until 3 a.m. to make sure Jessica wouldn't come back before drifting off to sleep.
As John and Dave got to school on Monday, they held hands through the halls. John's hand fit perfectly into Dave's. John blushes lightly as they walked through the halls. He had never thought he'd be holding hands with anyone until senior year. But he was happy.
They avoided running into their friends as they stopped in front of John's english class. Dave gave him a quick hug and peck on the cheek before heading off to his own class.
John always hated Monday's. Not only was it the start of a long week, but it was also the only day that he didn't have study hall with Dave. That was the only class they had together.
He sighed as he took his seat next to Jade, who was once again passed out. John placed a hand on her shoulder and shook her gently. "Jade," he whispered, shaking her a little more. "Hey Jade, get up. Class is starting." She didn't move.
John sighed in frustration. He kicked he chair, making her and the chair fall. In an instant, she woke up and glared at her dorky half brother. "Joooohn!" she whined. "That was so mean!"
John snickered. "Well you wouldn't wake up," he laughed. Jade stuck her tongue out at him as she picked her chair back up and sat down. She sat there angry for a minute before looking at John with curiosity in her eyes. John looked at her with a confused expression. "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Jade studied John's face, noticing that something was different. Did he get a haircut? she thought. No, it can't be. It's still a tangled mess. She studied him for a while longer, trying to figure out what's different. Her eyes widened when she spotted it. His eye!
"How did you get that?" she asked.
John began to get a little nervous. "G-get what?" he stuttered.
"That black eye..."
"Oh, this thing?" John said nervous. He couldn't tell Jade the truth. She would have a breakdown. "I ran into my bedroom door...heheh." Jade gasped.
"Oh! So Dave must've gone over your house to help you with your homework because you couldn't see?" she asked.
"Y-yeah," John said
"Hm... I still don't understand why neither of you went online this weekend."
"He stayed over all weekend. I guess we were having so much fun hanging out, we didn't bother to go online."
Jade giggled, knowing how John felt about Dave. Of course she knew! They're siblings! Well...half siblings. "Well at least you guys had fun."
John blushed lightly. "Y-yeah, we did." John looked down at his notebook as the teacher began teaching.
The classes before lunch felt like hours. For both Dave and John. Dave kept his eyes glued to the clock during French, waiting for the bell to ring. Next was lunch. The only time during a Monday where he gets to see John.
When the bell rang, Dave grabbed his stuff and quickly walked out the door to the cafeteria. When he opened the door, he saw that John was already there, back turned to the door. "Yo, Egbert!" Dave shouted.
John quickly turned around, face lighting up with glee. "Dave!" he yelled. John ran up to Dave, jumping into his arms. Dave wrapped his arms around John's waist as he spun him around. John grabbed Dave's face, pulling him into a quick kiss.
When he pulled away, he smiled. "Hey there," John giggled out.
Dave smirked. "Sup," he replied, chuckling. John wrapped his arms around Dave's neck as he set him back down on the ground. Dave took John's hand as they walked towards their ground of friends.
"What...the hell...was that?" Karkat blurted out.
"Can't you all up and motherfucking see it, Karbro?" Gamzee said. "Those sweet ass motherfucking bros are in LOVE." John's face flushed red, a small smile appearing on his face as a light blushes spread across Dave's face.
"Uh, Gamzee, I don't think you should've said that." Gamzee looked back at Tavros with a smile.
"Oh, come one, Tavbro. Don't they look like something you've seen before?" Tavros quickly looked at John and Dave, then back at Gamzee, shaking his head.
"Remember when I up and told you I motherfucking loved you?" Gamzee said. Tavros nodded, blushing at the memory. "Well that's how we motherfucking act! Just like that."
"I, uh. I guess you're right."
"I am in love with him," John said shyly. Dave smiled a little, walking behind John and wrapping his arms around John's waist. He kissed his cheek as he rested his head on John's shoulder.
"And I'm in love with you." Dave nuzzled his head into the nape of John's neck, kissing it softly. They stood there for a few seconds before John turned his body around, wrapping his arms around Dave's neck, pulling him into a kiss.
Karkat turned his body around, gagging in the other direction. Terezi quickly slapped him, making him turn back around and give her a what-the-fuck-did-I-do face. "Karkles, don't do that!" she shouted. Karkat rolled his eyes, wrapping his arm around Terezi.
John pulled away from Dave's soft lips as he smiled at the tall blonde. He held him in a tight hug, keeping his eyes open as he looked behind Dave, gasping. Jessica was right there, glaring into John's soul with her beady yes. She could tell her plan didn't work.
Dave heard the gasp and he let go of John, looking at him with worried eyes. "Is everything alright, dude?"
John nodded a little, voice becoming shaky. "Y-yeah, I'm fine." He quickly glanced behind Dave again, seeing Jessica stomp away. Boy was he in trouble. Big...trouble.
