Falling for a Strider~ (davekat)

Chapter 2

Frustrated, you close your laptop. But manage to not get too frustrated, you're a cool guy, you have to keep your reputation.
Alright, brainstorming time. How are you ever so going to manage to hook up with this troll?
That's the real question here.

   You make your way back to where your bro is, still sitting down, watching his all time favorite show, My Little Pony. You flop down into the seat next to him and sigh.

  This is when he notices you're actually there, he pauses the show and glances over at you.
"What seems to be the problem?" He asks.
"Karkat. I mean, he's a nice guy, and he's really cool! Finding ironically cool trolls is hard. And what I'm trying to get at here is that I'm trying to hook up with Karkat, and we all know he's stubborn."

   Your bro got out a shot glass from the cabinet and poured you a shot of apple juice, you sighed and downed it.
"It's in a strider to have great charm, and basically always be able to hook up with anyone they're trying to," your bro explained, "I mean, if a few pick up lines doesn't work, then just go straight to the point and tell him how you feel. If that doesn't work, then, well, I don't know what will."
You nodded and stood up, "I'm gonna go try the pick up lines now and just see how it goes. Thanks for the help bro."

Your bro smiled and then you returned back to your room. Underneath the desk you pulled out a big jug of apple juice. Desperate times calls for desperate measures. You took a swig of it and cracked your knuckles, flipping open your laptop with great determination.
