Chapyer (: Five Days of Dave

==>Be The One Who Sorta Figured Out His Feelings

Yeah only sorta. I know what I said, but it wasn't the entire truth. Being with him feels so right, but somethings telling me to stop. That I can't trust him. That I'm going to get hurt. That I'm not good enough.

And mostly, I'm not worth his time or his love. I don't deserve it.

But I can't let him know that. It'll tear him apart.

I'll stay with him. Its the least I can do since I'm not exactly 'boyfriend material'. I'm far from it.

I hope Dave understands that.

“Hey, Karks?”

“What?”

“Kankri sad that you were talking about me the entire time since friday. What was that about?”

“Wait, what? He told you that? When he wakes up I’m going to slam his face in a wall.”

“Dude, calm down. It’s not exactly something you have to kill your brother about.”

“Yes it is.”

“How so?”

“I’m not saying. So don’t fucking ask.”

“Karkat.”

“No.”

“Please?”

“No, fuck off.”

“Kaaarrrrrkaaat.”

“Dave, shut the fuck up!”

“Never. Not until you tell me.”

“Why should I?”

“Because you were talking about me. I wanna know what you had to say.”

“I don’t want to talk about it.”

“Why?”

“It’s embarrassing jackass.”

“I bet it is. Now tell me.”

“I hate you.”

“You love me.”

“Fuck you.”

“Gladly let ya.”

“Really?”

“Yes. Now tell me.”

“Strider I don't’ want to ta--”

“What is with all the commotion out here? I was trying to sleep but I couldn’t with you two being so loud out here. You know, it’s not nice to interrupt people while they are slee--”

“KANKRI!”

“Karkat, I would like you to use your inside voice please. But, what is it that you want?”

“I don’t have a fucking inside voice! And why the fuck did you tell this blond idiot that I was talking about him during those few days?” Kankri sighed and walked over to us, and sat on the couch.

“I told him because I wanted him to know what you were thinking about during that time. I think it would be nice if you gave him some insight on you felt after that incident. And about him in general?”

“Me in general?” Fuck, almost forgot Dave was here. And I’m still sitting in his lap.

“Yes, Karkat kept going on and on about how nice you were to him even though he was being quite rude himself. I didn’t understand why, and I told him that if someone likes you enough they will be patient with your behavior.”
