Before the "Bro Date"

~~Karkat's POV~~

'What did Dave just ask me out?If so,THANK GOD,I've been waiting for this moment.Ever since he came to our school!'I think.'Stupid me!I just said this isn't a date!STUPID STUPID STUPID'I fight myself in my brain.Dave smirks that cocky little smile of his."GODDAMNIT!"I proclaim.Just then realizing I said that alloud I quickly blush bright red.He stares at me funnily,as we walk to his house to get ready fpr this "friend/bro date.""Ummm,Karkles?Something wrong?You just shouted goddamnit really loudly?"Dave says questioningly.I flush a red again,and try to cover up my mistake."It's nothing Strider.""You surrrrre,"he says teasingly holding out the R."Yes,I'm positive."I retort ,still blushing horribly.He softly chuckles.I take a deep "BREATH",still flustered,and say."Strider are you counting this as a date?In your books."He blankly spaces out ,then slowly turns the shade of a magnolia blossom."N-no,Karkles,what w-would make you think that>"He nervously stutters."Heh,well if you really wanna know why I cursed alloud,your going to have to tell me if it is a date or not."I say,still blushing,yet sort of smiling like a mad man on the inside.Dave sighs lightly in relief,noticing that we are at Dave's apartment,that he shares with his older brothers Dirk,and Bro.
