Bruises and Honey Bees

TWO DORKS AND A SHORTY

"SO WHERE ARE WE GOING?" "Ii dunno probably 2triider2 then Kan2"
"WHY ARE YOU GOING TO SEE THE DOUCE BAG?"
"He actually 2ounded concerned about me which ii2 weiird for hiim"

I can hear karkat clearly scoff "FINE JUST DON'T LET THAT DICK GET YOU DOWN" I laugh "really kk? What kiind of troll do you take me for?" He blushes a bit looking out the window "JUST SAYING.." I smile whole heartedly "alriight ii'll keep your warniing iin miind" he nods look towards me. "THANK YOU..."

"ANYWAY... ARE YOU OK? YOU LOOK TIRED AND SHITTY BUT YOU ACT LIKE NOTHING HAPPENED..."
"Ii'm fiine kk, ju2t a liitle 2leep depriived ii2 all" he smiles "ALRIGHT" but I can tell it's fake... he must really worried about me... I have to try my best today to show tgem all I'm just fine.. cause I am. I think.

"Hey kk?"
"YES?" "What do you call a fly with no wings?" He breaths out with the ghost of a laugh "SCREWD?" I shake my head no laughing "you got me there" he huffs "I always do. I had to put up with your bad jokes ever since we became friends" I laugh "there not that bad" he shakes his head "they reall were"

((Karkat pov))

We drive in awkward silence for the rest of the drive and we finally end up at the doucheiest douchebag's house. fucking strider, I hope he doesn't say anything stupid or triggering like normal (what has kankri done to me? ; - ;)I swear if does I'll kick his ass so har he'll need an implant just to sit down normally.

((Sollux pov))

I stop the car and I sigh. please tell me I wont regret this. I really hope hes not like he was, because if he is I will not be able to hold back anything. Dave doesn't have a filter for his mouth he speaks what he thinks and it can be really fuckin bad.

(two minutes later)

okay, I'm in a death hug right now and can barley breath. It could pop a baloon and crush a watermelon "d-dave you can let go now!" "no dude! I swear I thought that maniac killed you and raped your corpse or somethin!" Karkat hits him ontop of the head and he drops me.

"DICKWAD PUT HIM DOWN AND STOP BLUBBERING LIKE A WIGGLER, ALSO DON'T SAY SHIT LIKE THAT!" I look up at the both of them. Wait up? WHY AM I SO SHORT I USED TO BE AS TALL AS STRIDER IS EVERYONE TALLER THAN ME?! I sigh and brush off my shoulders and pants "sorry dude..."

"iit2 fiine" he looks at me with concern and I look back confused "what?" He looks even more concerned and rubs the back of his neck "are you sure your ok your acting strange.." "I KNOW HES BEENING ACTING LIKE THIS ALL DAY" "how am ii actiing weriid?" "Well, you aren't pissed off, your short, your forgiving, your not using cheesy puns, the list could go on for miles"

"a lot ha2 happened over the pa2t year.." I rub my arm looking to the side. "ow! What the Fuck nubby?!" "LOOK WHAT YOU DID JACKASS!! TODAY WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ABOUT CHEERING HIM UP! NOT MAKING HIM FEEL BAD YOU IGNORANT SHIT SPONGE!" "I'm sorry!" I look at the two, they haven't changed one bit. Always bickering but still get along for my sake. A friendship neither of them see.

I laugh I don't know what was so funny but it feels oh so very nice to be around them again. these two dorks make me feel like I could code like a pro again. I mean it hasn't been that many years I stopped when i was 18 and moved out of my dads I'm only 22 you know I'm not that old!

They both look at me like I'm crazy and my giggle turned into a full blow laugh tears peck the corners of my eyes and I could feel my side hurting. They both still looking at me when I say what I've been wanting to say for so very long "you guy2 are total dork2!!!"
