AN: To those who criticised, thank you. To those who didn't, thank you for a different reason. I would also like to ask for creative insults. Even if they're not yours I'll put the insult and, if I remember, the name of the person I got it from. And now on to the story.
"I'm worried Dave. He's never gone this long. He's usually the first one here or right with us. What if Slick has him locked in the bathroom again?"
Dave sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "He's fine. I saw him follow Makara."
"Who? Oh. Oh yeah. OH YEAH! Dave!"
"Hm?"
"Sorry. About the kiss I mean."
"John if you bring the kiss up again I swear I will ignore you for the rest of eternity. Cabeesh?" His voice was harder than he wanted it to be, and maybe a few degrees colder than he normally would of had it.
John frowned and nodded slowly. "Cabeesh." He mumbled. "Eternity is a very long time."
-Dave's PoV-
I hate to see him sad. He's too sweet. Even as I spoke and watched his face fall I wanted to take my words back. To inhale them like a vacuum. But he needed to stop. Stop tearing my heart apart. Stop reminding me he would never kiss me on his own free will. Stop reminding me he would never love me like I love him.
He fell quiet after that. I guess he had nothing left to say. Not too surprising. We were in the rose garden under Karkat's favorite tree waiting for the damn kid when he arrived. He looked confused and nervous about something. He kept looking around and over his shoulder.
"Karkat!"
"Shut the fuck up, you fucking soggy sack of shit (terminalKismesis)! I am not in the mood to deal with you and your dick sucking ass licking antics."
Sheesh the little man was rude. He must of been stressed though because that last insult sucked. But John must of got the point because the next thing I know he's wrapped around my arm hiding his face in my shirt mumbling about Karkat being an asshole dick fuck or some shit like that. I gently pat his head.
"Dude you're as high sprung as a cat. What're you hiding?" I ask as he walks up.
"None of your damn fucking business, Strider." He growled. He sat down by his tree and glared at the blossoming roses.
I was about to say something then but stopped when I felt something light as a feather brush the bare skin on my arm. Glancing down I see it's John making patterns with his finger. I let him and turn back to my favorite angry puffball.
-John's point of view.-
Dave's usually cold here in Washington, it's a lot colder than Texas, but he still wore short sleeve shirts every once in a while. Today was one of those days he did. His skin was like ice beneath my touch, but he was a trooper and dealt with it, or he didn't notice he was cold.
I wasn't paying attention to what he and Karkat were saying, instead thinking about Dave's threat. It's been forever since he said something so mean to me. It kind of hurt. But not too much. More of a sting. I wondered if that meant we had no chance of ever being together.
I've thought about being with Dave before after a dream I had some time ago. I had the same dream last night. Dave and I on a typical romcom date. Back then I pushed it away and forgot about it, but this time I played it in my mind and absently wrote "John's" on Dave's arm. He looked at me for a second before turning back to Karkat.
When I looked back up, Karkat was sitting in front of his tree as small as he could make himself, looking down. His right hand was open and outstretched and there, in the middle of his palm, was a needle.
And not the sewing type Rose uses.
And now...
A word to my Annons:
Jerk girls kiss: glad you're excited. €=
Guest: At one point in time yes. But then I started to question myself because I was corrected before bit couldn't remember what I put and how it was corrected. Turns out I was wrong. Thank you! And don't worry about sounding rude.
RinNeko636: I'm glad you like it. I like DaveJohn to and needed some in the story so rest assured there will be more love when the story progresses.
beana2000: Thank you ^_^ I'll try to remember but my thinkpan can be just as rusty as Gamzee's when it comes to important information like spelling. Ha-ha
:D But don't be surprised if I mess up again. I'll try not to
