Sorry I did it chap2
Karkat sighed in boredom as he sat at the picnic table in the orchard, absently chewing an apple. Dave sat across from him watching John talk about the weird dream he had last night, holding onto the boy's every word.
"And so then the cat was hit by a car," John stated,"and so the bird was all relived but the cat turned into a puddle of this green slime stuff and there was that one guy in fourth period sleeping in it. You know the one with purple eyes? Well he was just sleeping in it and then it turned into a puddle of, uh, Dave? Are you okay? You're looking at me funny." John's excited chatter had become slow and drawn out. Karkat leaned in slightly, wanting to see how this turned out.
"Ironically, I was just wondering if you were okay. Sounds like you're missing a few screws." Dave smirked at John, who just chuckled and said 'Good one.' before continuing his tale.
Karkat leaned back again and aimed a kick at Dave's shin causing him to grimace and almost make a sound of discomfort. Dave glared viciously at the younger boy.
"What the fuck?"He whispered so John didn't hear, which was easy even though the chatterbox sat right next to him.
"You should of told him then." Karkat hissed. Both leaned forward to speak.
"Told him what?"
"That you like him and want more then that kiss."
"You've been watching too many chick-flicks Man." Dave smirked.
"They're called 'romance'." Karkat growled. "And what's that have to do with anything?"
"Things like that only happen in chick-flicks. In real life love hurts and breaks you. Nothing hurts more then unrequited love."
Karkat rolled his eyes and shoved his banana in Dave's mouth. "Man up and grow a pair Dave. Otherwise you won't have a chance to find out."
John looked at them. "Find what out?"
"Nothing John. Now eat before the bell rings." Dave pointed at John's untouched tray.
"I'm not hungry."
"You need to eat John. Food keeps you energized and nice. Lunch is important."
"Yes." John agreed. "Food. Not what ever this is." John poked the thing that the school called food on his cardboard tray with the white plastic spork that they provided.
Dave reached out and pulled the tray to himself and pushed his own lunch into John's chest, holding it there with his left hand, fingers sprawled. He was looking down and to the right as he spoke. "Here."
Karkat watched as a slight breeze rustled past, making the hair of his two friends blow to the right. Dave didn't move and it was obvious he was trying to ignore the light pink tint that dusted his cheeks. John's mouth was slightly opened and his eyes wide.
"Dave-."
"You like ruban sandwiches right?" Dave interrupted, knowing the answer before he asked. Rubans were John's favorite. "And nothing was anywhere near peanuts, peanutbutter, or peanut oil. So ya don't have to worry about your allergies. Okay?"
Karkat tried not to laugh as Dave's southern draw waved it's way into his voice. Something he tried to keep hidden. He must of done a bad job because Dave glared at him.
"Okay." John smiled. "Thanks."
Dave ignored him in favor of eating the school's disaster.
It was during sixth period that John caught Karkat. "Truth or dare?"
Karkat groaned. "Not this again."
"Truth. Or. Dare." John's voice took on a dangerous edge.
"Truth." Karkat gave in.
"Why did you make me kiss Dave?"
"I thought it was a good idea."
"It wasn't."
"Whatever. Truth or dare?"
"Truth. I don't want to have to seduce Dave."
"That's a good idea. Thanks John."
"Karkat." John pouted, making Karkat laugh.
"Did you like the kiss?"
John thought about it, long and hard. After the first five minutes Karkat assumed John wasn't going to answer and went back to work.
He was halfway through his assignment when his pencil broke, the dark gray lead laying innocently on his paper. He swore to himself and looked at the sharpener on the other side of the room. In the front. Where everyone could see him.
He swallowed thickly, the saliva that felt like water waiting to drown him in his mouth turned to sand in his throat.
-_-_-_- John's P.O.V._-_-_-_-
I watched as Karkat leaned over the side of his desk and tapped the shoulder of the boy next to him. The boy's taller then most kids in the class and his eyes are a natural indigo. He's kind of mentally delayed and I heard he not only does every drug out there, but he once had five girls pregnant at the same time, but he ran out of drugs and killed them. But there wasn't enough evidence to book him. Another person said the reason he keeps to himself is because he feels the spirits of the dead and they possess him now and again. I'm not sure I believe them, but he freaks me out. He's been known to have random anger flashes where he attacks things and he has these long scars and burns on his arms which he would proudly say he put there himself. It didn't surprise me he had no friends.
I guess that's when the idea came.
A way to get back at Karkat. But first I had to tell Karkat that I liked the kiss.
I doubt my face will ever lose this red tint.
-_-_-_-_-A.N._-_-_-_-_-
Sorry for such a long wait. I keep forgetting to WRITE the ideas that I come up with for this story.
Now for reviews:

Person: I'm happy you love it and I'm sorry it took so long to update. I'll try to do better.
midnightPhantom: That made me smile. My English teacher was saying tge samw thing about my details. And I will keep at this. You're the second person to review with OTP though, and it's not the first time I read it, but I don't know what it means. I can figure out it's along the lines of an ultimate favorite paring but... Yeah... Not fully sure what it stands for...
ninjakirbyshrooms: You know me so well love. But you don't have to read it. I won't get offended. I just like reading reviews constantly and if I have one from you it makes my whole day happy. It's something from you I can keep forever no matter what.
Lyra: Oh my God you have perfect timing. The day you reviewed I had been feeling really depressed. I'm out of my antidepressants and have been upset and depressed for a while and was beginning to think it was all too much when I read your review. It made my entire day brighten up like a super nova. It is honestly one of the best reviews I have ever gotten. It still makes me smile to read it. I wanted to update right then. But I didn't have anything typed out.
Makara Gamzee: Here ya go. HoNk :o)
that guy: Is this soon enough? I hope so.
I'm sorry some replies are longer then others. I appropriate all the reviews and love them all and they all hold a place in my heart, but some just had more of an opening for a reply then others. Sorry it's so short. Please feel free to leave any ideas. And for anonymous reviewers, I have no problem with you guys being anonymous, but you guys might like having an account. I can p.m. you and leave personal love.
