It's next December, to be exact it's Dave's birthday and he was chilling in his room with his best buddy Karkat. The troll ran a hand threw his unruly midnight hair. He was lounging on Dave Strider's bed in shorts and one of Dave's baseball tee's. You could see little red lines, being his grub scares, through the fabric.
It was a warm December day, warm like a spring day anywhere else except for Texas. Karkat yawned as Dave pestered a few of his friends.
Dave was now sixteen, and so was Karkat technically. They were too eat cake later, of course Bro did not invite Karakt and forbidden Dave to bring him. Life was normal as ever.
"I'll bring you some cake Kitkat, promise," Dave winked at him, giving a slight smile.
"Good," Karkat stated. He was pouting a bit, not really wanting Dave to leave again. But he stayed put as Dave left the room.
The party was a bit boring, too many guests. A bunch of people he didn't like. All of the god damn porn star friends his Bro had. Ironic gifts he opened. Many smuppets from his Bro. A sword from nameless face. He found it ironic that somebody he doesn't know, knows him better than his Bro does. He got dozens of bottles of apple juice and a subscription for Doritos. It wasn't horrible.
The boring fun soon ended, after eating some ice cream cake. Dave snuck a piece to his room and handed it to the grate full troll on his bed. Karkat began to eat.
"So was it exciting?" Karkat's eyes sparkled eating the cake.
"Nah man, too many porn stars." He answered. The other chuckled. Too any body else in the world that would be a good thing. However Dave knew how modest Porn stars are in real life. A bit too modest for what kind of job they do.
Karkat had finished the cake and Dave threw the plate into the garbage can he had by his desk. He soon layed down next to karkat, who was now reading a trashy romance novel. He does that often, it seems to be something he really enjoys. Whether it's the smut or the actual trashy romance, Dave doesn't really know.
Dave sighs looking at the celing. He soon sits back up and looks Karkat over. The trolls face was a bit red and he was biting his lip. He's reading a smut scene.
"Enjoying what you're reading?" Dave teased.
"Well kinda, yeah. I mean it's written a bit poorley." he shrugs and continues reading. Wow, Dave thought. He feels a bit offended right now. Totally ignored him.
"I'm bored Kitkat, and I wanna talk with you." he whined. Karkat sighed and put his book away.
"What do you want to do. Dave?" He asked looking at the human who is pitifully pouting in his direction. Dave smiled a bit.
"Plan." His voice turned as smooth as chocolate when he said that. Karkat smiles. That's what they have been doing lately. Planing. The plans change every day, but always start as 'Getting the hell out of here as fast as fucking possible.' Sometimes they started a civil war for troll rights, and sometimes they just get a place, in Dave's name, and live there. Dave get's a signif, sometimes. He says he's just going to be a single pringle forever, but Karkat doesn't believe that. Every human finds somebody.
"Okay, so first we get the Hell out of Texas." Karkat starts.
"And go to Organ, where Egbert is." Dave decided. Egbert was Dave's best friend who has the same idea's as Dave going on the troll culture. Organ was also a progressive state, which means Karkat can go out, on his own.
"We get an apartment because fuck houses." Karkat grins threw this statement.
"Then we start a group, called Anti sexy troll." Dave nods. Karkat laughs, the name changes all the time. This one is currently his favorite.
"A bunch of humans become apart of this group." Karkat smiled. Both Dave and Karkat rambled on into the night about this.
It's New years eve. Dave has hidden himself in his room, away from Bro and all his too modest Porn Star friends. Karkat was also in this room and they were snuggling on the bed. He could hear the countdown from down stairs.
"Five." He counted
"Four." Karkat joined in. "Three, two, one." Dave smiled to Karkat.
"Happy new year Karkitten, we survived it another year." Dave chuckles out. Karkat blushes at the new nick name, biting his lip softly.
"Yeah we did." he grins through the awkward lip biting. His head rested against Dave's chest. He sighed. Another year, only a few more to go. They were going to get the hell out of here, and that makes Karkat very happy. He kissed his hand and pressed it against Dave's cheek, after a while. "Thanks for not being a duchey human." he looked at him.
"My pleasure." Dave practically purred out. That was a technical kiss to the cheek. He and Karkat knew that. It was Karkat's way of trying not to cross boundaries, but saying that he was comfortable with that. Dave ruffled the trolls hair.
April. Dave was cramming for a final he had the next day. It was around midnight and Karkat was practically asleep already. His eyes opened and shut at random intervals. Dave had fallen asleep on the desk.
The next day, afternoon. Dave slammed his door, after getting in an argument with Bro. Karkat looked up from an adventure book he was reading.
"Hey you okay?" Karkat questioned.
"Bro," was all Dave said. Karkat knew what that meant. He did something that he hasn't done before when getting that answer. He got up and wrapped his arms around Dave, resting his head on his shoulder. When they parted, Karkat looked up at the albino.
"So, how do you think you did on your Finals?" He asked cocking his head to the side. Dave shrugged.
"I think I did fairly well." He responded throwing his shades to his desk. He followed them getting on the computer and pestering John. Karkat went back to reading.
A few hours later, Dave logged off. He sat back on the bed next to the small troll, his head leaning against Karkat's shoulder. Karkat looked at the boy his hand ruffling his hair.
"You alright Dave?" Karkat asked. Dave nodded looking at the time. It was pretty late.
"I'm going to go sleep now okay?" He looked at Karkat. Karkat nodded and shifted off the bed turning off the light. He found his way back to the bed tripping over a few wires, and layed in the bed. His arm over Dave in a spooning position. With the lights off, karkat couldn't see Dave gleaming.
Hey look another chapter within a day! And it's the longest yet. I hope you enjoyed.
