Doing last minute checks on your appearance, you rake your hair with your finger tips and smooth down the wrinkles of your shirt. Deep breaths, Karkat. You'll be okay. Its Dave's birthday and since you thought it was a pretty damn decent time, today is the day you'll propose to him. That is your gift to him, well, forever. You quickly fish out the box from your pocket and hide it within your sleeve. As you lift your fist up to knock, you hesitate. You stop and press your ear against the door. Ragged breaths, quiet moans. You feel your eyes start to tear but you shake your head, unbelievably. This must be the wrong room, thats it, You try to reassure yourself. But a part of you knows. Your other hand shakily reaches in your pants pocket for the spare keys and you unlock the door, leaving it in the lock as you thrust it open with a bang. As if time slowed down, your eyes slowly adjust to the view absorb in the scene before you. Dave, hair tussled and face pink with sexual tension. Your eyes roam over wandering hands and you ears hear sounds from Dave that only you should be the cause of it. Your eyes tears up as he whispers in that voice you thought only you should hear,
"Vriska."
Vriska...
You feel as if you're legs have turned into jelly and the small box tumbles down from your grasp, clattering on the ground. You manage to choke out a sob as you let a shaky huff escape your lips. Dave harshly pulls away from Vriska, pushing her aside and spinning his head torwards you, his red wide eyes pleading for pity. You shake your head, as you let out a small hysterical laugh. Dave crawls, crawls to you, his expression desperate.
"Listen Karkat, I can explai-"
"Shut your motherfucking mouth, Strider," You growl, tears splashing down your cheeks and Dave closes his mouth
For the love of god, Will you bite your tongue,
Before I make you swallow it.
"Always, You have something, some fucking dumb excuse at times like this. When silence is actually better than shitty excuses, then you speak."
Its moments like this where silence is golden
And then you speak.
You raise your voice, and Vriska quietly leaves knowing things have gotten out of hand, "I'm sick and tired of your damn excuses, John is too,Even..Even Vriska knows when its enough. You're so pathetic..Let me guess Strider, I wasn't enough for you was I? All this time..All these years, were you fucking from person to person even though you said you were pure? When you said you were saving your first time with me?..All this time, All these years, I've been lied to? I fucking hate you Strider," You scream,"Spare me with your bullshit because your company is like living in Hell!"
No one wants to hear you
No one wants to see you
So desperate and pathetic
I'm begging you to spare me
The "Pleasure" of your company.
You pick up the small box with a curt motion and whip it at Dave. "Happy birthday,asshole. Don't forget to stop by my house and take all your shit back or I'm fucking burning it." Dave looks at the box and picks it up with trembling hands. Opening it, he bites his lip from surprise and pain and he whispers with a pained look,
"Karkat..."
"After the girls....Rose, YOUR SISTER warned me about you, breaking hearts like its a damn game..I should've listened to her, You're nothing but an asshole."
I'm burning down every bridge we made
I'll watch you choke on the hearts you break
I'm bleeding out every word you said
"Go to Hell for Heaven's sake."
"Karkat just LISTEN to me,"
"I SAID, SHUT THE MOTHERFUCKING UP!"
No one wants to hear you
So save your breath
No one wants to see you
So desperate and pathetic
"You think no one sees through your lies, You're wrong," You shove Dave back and growl.
You think no one sees this
I think its time you knew the truth.
"Think you're the coolest? Think you're the cream of the crop? Think again, asshole wait til everyone finds out your dirty lil secret."
You're not a Shepard, You're just the sheep
I'll cut my depths of everyone you meet
You're flesh and no bones
Feed them to the sharks
And throw them to the wolves.
You stroll out the room slam the door with a bang, leaving Dave curled in a ball, regretful and ashamed.
"Go to Hell for Heaven's sake."
