Have another update! And this is also the half-way point for the story! Yay!
I study the words on the screen carefully. So Tav and Gam must be together now, and Tav doesn't want to tell yet. Hmm.
I close the chat and open a new one with Karkat.

I rub my heterochromatic eyes with the back of my hand and stare at the screen for a second more before I close Pesterchum and continue with the code I've been doing for the whole night. I need to get it ready for today, or I'll be in trouble.
A knock on my front door breaks my train of thought and makes me growl in annoyance. I decide to not care about the person at the door. They'll go away soon enough. I go back to the code I'm working with and get a few lines done before the next interruption.
"You didn't open", is said right next to my ear. Someone probably wants to scare me, but I'm not that easy.
"I know", I say and continue the code. I just know I made Dave frown.
"How the fuck do you not jump out of your god damn skin?" he asks. "Did you hear me come or some shit?"
"Nope", I answer quickly and continue the code hoping Dave would leave.
"I can't understand you", he says and sits down on my desk next to me. "You're supposed to react in some way."
"Who gave you permithion to come in?" I snap at him, angry with my lisp at the moment, making me sound a lot less serious.
"I did, since you didn't come open", he shrugs. I snap my head towards him and I promise he jerked back an inch or two seeing my eyes. Come to think of it I don't know many who have seen them before.
"Dude, what's up with your eyes?" he asks staring at me blankly now.
"How rude", I point out, staring at him angrily. "My eyeth are ath they are. Better leave it at that. And now back to the quiethtion in hand. Why are you here and who in the world gave you permithion to enter my houthe."
"Let's do those backwards, shall we? I have no-one's permission. You're the only one home right now and I sort of wanted to see if you've eaten in the last few days. And I'm still curious about your eyes", he says and I sigh, leaning back.
"I wath born with them fuckath", I answer, not replying to anything else. "Now leave."
"So you haven't eaten?" he asks curiously, not really showing it.
"Dave, you're not my cuthtodian. I'm four yearth older than you", I point out returning to the code. "And yeth, I actually have eaten", I add as an afterthought.
"Fine. I'll find someone else to annoy. Someone like Tavros", he says and I growl, turning to look at him.
"TV got over you, you idiot", I note, not saying anything else.
"He has? Wow, that was fast. I wonder if you're telling the truth now", he says, but I don't answer. He pokes me a few times but I don't care and he huffs slightly. He gets up and walks behind me. I catch it from his reflection on the screen that he just flipped me off. I laugh a bit and he glances at me before flash-stepping away.
I grin slightly and get back to my code, which I actually finish pretty quickly. I work with a few problems on the coding before getting to mail the code. It works now, I have no doubt about that. I add the payment to the code. He'll pay, he'll have to. If he doesn't the code will transpire and send viruses to his computer. I'll do nothing about that if he doesn't pay.
I lean back and stare at the wall before getting up and walking to the kitchen. Last time I ate, it was yesterday around four.
I stare into my empty fridge for a while. I sigh and find my phone from somewhere in my room before sending a message.
2orry to iinterrupt and all, but ii ran out of food. Miind feediing me today?
I send the text and get a reply almost instantly. Of course Gamzee invites me over. I feel a bit bad going there now, but I'll have to worry about it later.
Now I just need to get there. I'll probably take the bus.
