Red - a Davekat Lemon Fanfic

The Calm Beginnings

Karkat was sitting on the couch. One of his favorite movie was on TV.

A taller boy, by the name of Dave Strider, sat next to him, also watching.

"THIS IS MY FAVORITE PART!", Karkat said about the movie.

"It's a good movie... but like, what exactly is it about? I don't understand troll love at all."

"IT'S ROMANCE, DAVE. IT'S ROMANCE.", Karkat replied to Dave.

"OH, OH! THIS IS THE PART WHERE THEY FINALLY KISS!"

Dave rolled his eyes and smiled at Karkat. His cheeks, at this point, donned a light blush simply at the fact that he was imagining Karkat and him being the ones kissing.

"DAVE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING.", Karkat said.

"What? I, uh, I'm not doing anything." He said and looked down at the floor awkwardly. He just didn't want to bother making awkward eye-contact with Karkat.

"UHHH...OKAY THEN..?", Karkat said.

Dave sighed quietly and tried to focus on the movie, but his thoughts kept somehow moving onto how he felt for Karkat. He really, really wanted to tell him, but stopped himself just as the sentence 'I like you' was on the tip of his tongue. He knew it would ruin their friendship. So he stayed quiet..

Karkat continued watching the movie. It was so romantic.It was indeed romantic. But Dave only wished it were him and Karkat.

--TIMESKIP TO AFTER MOVIE--

The movie ended. It was pretty late, almost midnight.

Karkat yawned. "I'M GOING TO BED."

"I'll be out here watching Doctor Who or some shit. Goodnight." Dave said with a yawn, grabbing the

remote and putting on some late-night Spongebob reruns.

Dave had a sudden realization. Holy hell, he did indeed feel what he had some idea trolls called 'red' for Karkat....Or was it black? Wait, what even was black? Wasn't that something along the lines of..hate sex? He decided to ask Sollux, who was most likely awake at this hour. He took out his phone, and as he expected, [TA] was online.

--MEANWHILE, IN KARKAT'S ROOM--

Karkat couldn't sleep. He didn't know why. He was still awake, in bed.

"THAT MOMENT THAT DAVE STARED AT ME...WHAT DID IT MEAN?", Karkat asked to himself. Little did Karkat know, that Dave had red feelings for Karkat.

--MEANWHILE, IN THE LIVING ROOM--

Dave couldn't stop thinking about Karkat.

There was a tape on the table.

Dave hesitated, but put it into the TV anyways.
