Fuck You and Fuck This After Story

Chapter Three

Dave didn't really have work. No, he only had a million other things on his mind.

He was convinced to ask Karkat to marry him. He's not stupid, the millions of times Karkat had tried to set the mood, Karkat was obviously trying to ask him. Though, Dave just acted oblivious because he wanted it to be truly special.

No offense Karkat, but Dave thinks asking while they're cuddling isn't that spectacular. It's not that he wouldn't mind. He would say yes the second he asked, without a doubt. Dave just... Wants it to be truly special. He wasn't it to be something that could never be forgotten.

So instead of thinking for himself, he had called Rose for advice. Rose was obviously overjoyed to meet up with him.

At 1:35pm he arrived at the Starbucks coffee shop they agreed to meet up at. As he waited for Rose, he stood in the long line to get a caramel frappe.

Rose was already sitting down at the table Dave had been sitting at before he got up. He sat across from her, placing his 'ironic' drink down.

Rose smiled brightly at her brother, the smile having a slight hint of a smirk in it "so you finally plan to ask him??"

"Of course I do Rose, I wouldn't have asked you to come here otherwise"

"Oh, come on David, lighten up" she her black lips were practically stretched across her face. She enjoyed teasing him a lot

"Okay, Rose" he said with an annoyance that could only be detected if you knew Dave well "what can I do? I know I'm going to buy a nice ring... But how should I ask him?" If he was still in high school, he wouldn't have even thought to ask Rose. He would've rather died if he had to ask for help. Though just like Karkat, he's grown up. He's a bit different because of karkats love.

Rose clasped her hands together as placed her head on the bridge her fingers made. "Well, maybe you can invite him to dinner and then have the waiter bring in a dish with the ring?"

"That's a really popular way, and the ring could get dirty"

"Okay.. How about you do all his favorite things then at the high point, you ask him?"

"We do his favorite things all the time"

Rose groaned a bit "go to the movies then ask him afterwards?"

"Not romantic enough"

"God damn it, David, you're suppose to be helping me out. You're not suppose to be disagreeing with everything I say"

Dave sighs and nods a bit "right, right. I'm sorry, I'll try harder.."

Rose sighed softly, closing her eyes for a minute to think.

As she did this, Dave looked around the outside area of the cafe. 'It was really nice out' he thought as he sipped his coffee.

Rose smiled and opened her eyes, making Dave direct his attention back to her. "why don't you do a public one? Go to a public park or something and then sing a song with your guitar, then ask him. It's kind of one that many people want to do, but I think you can make it the best"

Dave thought deeply about it, he wanted everything to be absolutely perfect. Then he shrugged a bit "I'll think about it.." He muttered, which actually told Rose, 'wow what a good idea'

Rose smiled and gave Dave a thumbs up.

Then the two of them talked about their significant others for hours, but of course they didn't talk just about them. Though, once Dave finished his drink and his alarm went off he stood. "I've got to pick Karkat up, but thanks for the help"

Rose still sat, waving "don't worry about it" she smiled as Dave walked off
