Outcast (JohnKat)

7: You're A What?!

John's POV:

Dave had been sleeping in the guest bedroom. I would wake up in the middle of the night to check on Karkat, but instead of being in his bed, he would be fast asleep on Daves chest.

It was cute seeing the two of them so close. It's definitely been easier to train Karkat.
Whenever Karkat did something bad, Dave would tell him it's bad and Karkat would never do it again.
If he did something good, Dave rewarded him.

Karkat has finally stopped ruining all the furniture in the house. Thank fucking God..

I sighed and slumped down into the couch one evening, after playing with Karkat and Dave in the backyard.
"God, those two can play forever.." I muttered, turning on the tv. Flipping through the channels, Con Air showed on one of the channels.

Twenty minutes into it, Dave and Karkat came in through the back door, covered in mud.

"Oh god, what did you two do?!"

"Well, it started raining... There was mud... What were we going to do? Just stand there?"

"WEE PLAYED IN THE MUDDY PILE JOOOHN!" Karkat grinned, jumping around in the kitchen. Muddy paw prints started appearing on the kitchen floor.

"No no no!" I ran over and picked up Karkat. "Ew, you need a bath.."

"NOOOOOOOOO-"
"Take a bath Karkat." Dave said.

"OKAY." Karkat grinned.

"Seriously?" I raised an eyebrow at Dave. "How come you can get him to do stuff but I can't???"

Dave shrugged. "I dunno man.. I guess you're not as awesome as me." He smirked. "I'm just so god damn awesome."

"JOHN! HE SAID A BAD WORD!" Karkat pointed at Dave.

I smirked. "Uh oh! Davey's in trouble-"

"GOD DAMN AWESOMEEEE!" Karkat repeated.

"Karkat!" I pouted my lip.

Dave laughed. "Well, I'm gonna use the actual bathroom for a shower. John, you can wash him in the sink. That dish soap is safe, right? They wash baby ducks with it!" Dave wiped mud onto my nose with his finger and walked into the hallway.

"Don't dirty the carpet! Take your shoes off!" I groaned and looked at Karkat, who was staring up at me.
"What am I going to do with you two? You're both the perfect double trouble."

"WE'RE COOL, THATS WHYYYY JHN!" He grinned. "BAT TIME! BAT TIME!"

"Bath."

"THATS WHAT I SAID!!!" He growled, "I WANTA BAT!"

"Baaaath."

"BAAAAAAAT!"

"No, you're forgetting the TH sound. BAAAAATTTTTHHHHHHH."

"BAAAAAAAAAAATHHHHHHH?"

"Yeah! That's it!" I grinned and walked over to the sink, filling the right side with warm water and some soap to wash him. He sat in it as it filled up.

"JHN?"

"Yeah, Karkat?" I looked at him, pouring the soap into my hand to wash him with.

"WHY DOEZ DVE LEAVE AT NIGHT?"

"He goes to work." I smiled and scrubbed his head, scratching behind his ears. He purred.

"BUT WHY?"

"So he can have money and stuff. Money helps us buy food and keep the house's water, electricity and gas going."

"WHAT DOEZ HE DO? IZ HE A SUPERHERO?!" He grinned.
