There's an amazing author on this website whose pen name is Eliza Be Good. She's so talented, so please check out her stories! Especially Sneak! :]

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters, just the plot. I don't own Ghost Busters, either.

Your name is Dave Strider and you are sitting in Science next to TZ. She isn't really paying attention to you, which you're okay with. You really need time to think some things over.

Like what happened with John this morning. He never acted that way unless Vriska was around, but that was before they were dating. And he was hurt. Really hurt. You couldn't tell why. Bro had never taught you how to read into emotions, only to hide your own.

You think about how red his cheeks were. How it looked so derpy and adorable on him that you just wanted to hug him. It was never like that with Terezi. Whenever she blushed, you just kind of laughed it off or didn't respond. That feeling never happened when you were around Terezi.

But with John... John it was like a dream you never wanted to wake up from. You had a brief moment of remembering the kiss, and you just couldn't help but smile. Not one of your little smirks, but the smile you only wore around your best bro.

You remember when you met him like yesterday. You were on the playground on the first day of school. (You still wore Bro's dumb-ass pointy shades then. What were you thinking?) A new kid was in your grade, and he wasn't that cool. He still hadn't lost his baby fat and he wore these weird glasses and Ghost Busters shirt. You really didn't have any friends, but you weren't sure that you wanted to be friends with him. Until you started playing with him. You realized he was actually really cool with all that talk about ghosts and pranks and shit. He was pretty damn cool.

Your grin grew a little bit wider. You reached up and touched the shades that John got you. You finally became yourself after that. You broke out of Bro's shadow and became Dave. Not some Bro copy. He was really your best friend.

Then you start remembering when you pantsed the poor derp. That little stab of hurt had took control of your body. You try to remember what it felt like exactly. It was sharp, quick, and... envious. Almost like jealousy. You shook your head. Why would you be jealous of John? You didn't even remotely like Vriska that much. What did you have to be jealous about? Vriska saying yes? That's ab-

You were jealous. It finally dawned on you. You were jealous of Vriska for having John's attention. But you still hung out with him. He always made time for you. So maybe you weren't jealous of the attention, just the affection. The affecti- It hit you like a ton of bricks.

You were in love with John. Mr. "No-Fucking-Homo". You loved him. Well, shit. There's no way he'd like you back. He's "not a homosexual". He's "not gay". He's perfectly straight and perfect in every other way. You sigh. You have really screwed yourself over this time.

When the bell rings, you wait for John to get out of Chemistry. You wonder if- maybe one day- he'll be like, "I'm a homosexual!" and just come up and press his lips to yours. You would like that a lot. In fact, you liked the idea so much that when John came up to you, you did it.

It was even better than the first time, even though it was a lot shorter. The chaste meeting of lips gave you this certain drive. It made you feel like you could do anything.

You pulled away and saw that John's face was the shade of red it was on the bus. He was biting his lip, his blue eyes wide.

"No homo?" he asks, and your whole world shatters.

You storm away, face impassive. You were such an idiot! As if he would like you! You punch a locker as you go by, narrowly missing Tavros's face. Gamzee, Tav's best friend, gives you a hard look while you walk away.

Your name is John Egbert and you are ashamed of yourself. You just ruined all your chances. All of them. Why else would Dave kiss you? Because he wanted to show brotherly love? No! He was kissing you because... because... You actually don't know why. But you hope it was because he thought of your relationship as something more.

Looks like this ship sunk beautifully, you thought as you stalked off to English. Oh, this would be so fun.

Once you got into class, you sat in your usual seat, but Dave wasn't there. Where was he? Was he really that angry that he wouldn't come to class? Or was he not even angry? Just embarrassed that he kissed the loser in the hallway? It was probably the last one. No matter how hard you tried, you just couldn't break out of the friend-zone, could you?

Yep. I'm evil. John is stupid. I know this story seems like a game of Cat and Mouse between Dave and John, but it'll end soon. I think the story is a little more than halfway through, so we only have a little bit more to go. Sadly. :(

Read and Review!

Until Next Time,
