I'll have a few chapters scattered around with different peoples POV's just to keep the story a bit more exciting and fill in some possible blanks here and there. And this here is the first of them.

Enjoy!

My name is Karkat Vantas.

I am currently situated in the living room of Dave Strider's house. This sounds like Kanaya speaking, maybe I should change that.

I look around and see lots of useless shit. That's more like it. There is a TV in one end of the room, a table some ways before it and a couch in front of the table. Then there are two armchairs in one corner and a drawer of some kind against one wall and there are fucking smuppets in every corner of this shitty room. Though there's still space. I have to give Strider and his fucking huge house some credit for getting every shitty sword and gear to fit inside.

What else do I see? I see people. Lots and lots of people. There's Gamzee, my best friend, with Tavros, his roommate and crush for like forever. With them is also Sollux, who I suppose is kind of good with computers. He's a total nerd, and probably way too skinny to even be alive. Must spend most of his time on the computer or at work, never actually eating.

Then there are Rose and Kanaya. Both some sort of therapists if I would be asked. They of course have a few years of age between them but that doesn't seem to bother them too much.

Close to them is Nepeta, the youngest of the group. She is really into cats, and I bet she owns at least five herself. With her is of course Equius, who seems to be almost like her bodyguard. Nepeta is talking to Terezi, my ex-girlfriend. She's blind, but that never stopped her from doing anything.

Feferi and Eridan are just entering at the door, where Dave is standing and they exchange a few words before the two of them come in. Feferi is beautiful, I guess, and she has this very rich family. Eridan comes from a similar family, but he's a hopeless hipster. He doesn't have a chance at really anything.

I follow Vriska for a bit with my gaze as she makes her way to Tavros, immediately picking on him. She's a huge bitch, always mean to everyone.

Aradia is the last one to arrive and she looks around for a bit as if deciding who to go to. She soon follows Vriska and is somehow able to send her off, leaving the spider bitch to stalk over to Terezi.

"All right everyone, eyes on the cool kid!" I hear Dave yell and growling something to myself I look at him, not really too eager.

"So, we're all here, right? Good. John and Jade will be here in..." He checks the clock. "Five minutes."

Everyone start whispering at the same time and I roll my eyes. Like this really is that big of a deal.

"I want you all to act well. No need to drive my best bro away the second he gets here. And about the party, I've got some music, food, drinks and games for us, so we won't get bored. Not like anyone would get bored around me", he says and I hear Terezi giggle a bit.

The last five minutes seem to take for-fucking-ever to go by. I'm about to ask Dave something about the guests, if they'll ever come, but I'm interrupted by the doorbell. Everyone goes quiet and Dave disappears to the door, soon coming back with two people.

First I notice the girl. She's fine looking with long black hair and green eyes. I guess this is Jade, and it's confirmed when Dave introduces her to the others.

Then I notice John. I stare at him for a good minute or so. He's probably the most gorgeous thing I have ever seen. He has startling blue eyes, goofy glasses, a cute little overbite barely noticeable and he wasn't even in a bad shape. I would bet he's taller than me, but well, who isn't. He is quickly introduced to some of the other people and seems to get along quiet well with them.

Then he notices me. I feel myself freeze as he smiles and walks to me, leaving Dave and Terezi fighting over something.

"Hi! I'm John. Nice to meet you!" he says smiling and I snap myself out of my trance shaking his hand.

"Karkat", I say, not able to think of anything else but his lovely eyes.

"So, you know Dave?" he asks grinning at the look on my face.

"Yeah, yeah I know him. From school", I answer trying to think of something else to say. "He hasn't shut up about you coming here. Doesn't give a single shit about anyone interrupting him."

John chuckles slightly and I see Dave coming from behind.

"See you've met Mr. Grumpypants, haven't you", he says stopping right next to John, draping one arm over his shoulders.

John looks at Dave a bit confused and Dave smirks. "You'll understand when you get to know him better."

John just looks at Dave for a second before Dave starts to drag him off to meet some others.

"Nice meeting you Karkat!" he says smiling again and I feel like I could melt then and there.

But of course I don't, that would be stupid and impossible at the same fucking time. So I just stuff my hands into the pockets of my hoody and look at Johns somewhat messy hair.

"You should have seen your motherfucking face bro. Like you'd been slapped with a miracle or some shit", Gamzee chuckles as he comes to stand with me.

"Shut up, asshole", I say frowning a bit.

"Seriously, I've never seen that look on your face before", he says smiling lazily.

"I'm warning you", I try to warn him, but seriously fail at that, never letting my eyes leave the back of John's head.

"Love at first sight?" he asks succeeding to make me blush a deep red and I slide to the floor, burying my face in my knees.

"Fuck off", I say a bit muffled by my own clothes.

"Aww, sorry bro, didn't mean to all up and upset you", I hear Gamzee say as he sits down on the floor next to me.

I raise my face to peek at the room. Dave's gone to put on some music and all the others are having somewhat of a nice time. Maybe I should try too.

Or not.

I watch as Dave comes back and takes the place behind Tavros's wheelchair, lazily leaning against it, head on top of Tavros's.

"Maybe you should go take Strider's hands off your roommate. At this pace you'll miss your fucking chance", I growl, getting up and look at Gamzee who is apparently planning on murdering Dave with just his eyes.

"Thanks for the motherfucking tip", he says in a low voice and gets up, walking to Dave and Tavros. I seriously don't want to see what will happen there, so I turn and jump back upon discovering Terezi a few inches from me.

"What the fuck? Planning on giving me a shitty end with a fucking heart-attack or something?" I yell, glaring at her. She just laughs it off and grins.

"Just wondering if you'd want to play a game of truth or dare with us", Terezi says shrugging a bit.

"No way", I answer and walk past her to sit on the couch.

"What? Is my little Karkles scared?" she asks dragging out the last word.

"What? Why the fuck would I be afraid of a stupid game?" I ask flopping on the couch.

"Karkles is scared to play a game!" Terezi's grin could have split her face in half.

"Nope. Not scared."

"Then prove it. Play with us!" she demands and I stare at her coldly.

"Fine, I'll play your shitty little game", I spit out and she jumps up in excitement dragging me to the middle of the room. She sit's me down with the others and soon we are all in a big circle in the middle.

The game starts out easy with little tasks like jumping around or questions about some stupid secrets. Then it starts to get gruesome. The tasks of 'run around the house three times' change to 'kiss this and this on the cheek'. Questions become more personal and a few have already left the game, including Rose, Kanaya, Nepeta and Equius.

I sigh. This game will not end well.
