Karkat was running around the living room chasing after Dave, who was dressed up like a bandit. They were playing Cops & Robbers while I cleaned up the kitchen.
Squeals and laughter filled the air.
I heard a big thump and looked over my shoulder, seeing Dave on the ground with Karkat standing on his belly.
"YOU HAV THE RIIIIIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT!!! IM GONNA TAKE YOU, BAD GUY, TO JAIL!!!" Karkat stood heroically.
"Oh noooo! How could this happen to me, the great bandit; Dave Strider? I'm ruined!" Dave said, dramatically.
I couldn't help but let out a small laugh, continuing with my cleaning.
There was a sudden ring though. It was the doorbell.
I turned and looked to Dave, "Could you get that?"
" 'Course. Come on buddy. I want you to meet a friend of mine." Dave picked up Karkat, taking him to the door.
Wait, he invited someone??
I wiped my hands on a rag after finishing up the dishes. I walked over to the door and saw a boy standing there.
He was about the same height as Dave, so taller than me. We looked fairly similar, but his eyes were green. His shirt had a school, and he wore a green button up over it. Let me also point out the ridiculously short shorts he was wearing. Who would even wear that?
"Nice to see ya' again, mate!" His English accent was very noticeable.
I could be wrong, but I spy blush on Dave's face.
"HI!" Karkat waved.
"Oh, hello little fella!" The dude smiled and shook Karkat's paw. "What's your name?"
"KARKAT!" Karkat grinned. "ARE YOU DAVES FRIEND?"
"Yes. Yes I am. The name's Jake." He flashed a smile and winked to Dave.
I'm assuming this is the guy Dave was talking about..
I popped up behind Dave. "Uh.. Hi?"
"Oh! Sorry!" Dave laughed, "John, this is Jake English. He's the guy I told you I met. Jake, this is my friend John. I kinda live here with him for a while."
"Nice to meet ya'!" Jake held out his hand.
I shook it. "Yeah.. Same.. Um.. You kinda look like me.."
"Yeah, you two do look the same." Dave said, making us stand side by side. He looked at the two of us. "Yup. Definitely look the same. Are you two related?"
"I'm not sure. I've never heard of you in my life!" Jake laughed, "No offense."
"HEY!! IM STILL HERE!!" Karkat waved his arms around. I took him from Dave's arms.
"Come here, Karkat. Dave, why don't you and.. Jake go hang out? I'll watch Karkat. He's my moirail after all." I put on a smile.
"Great idea! Come on!" Dave grabbed Jakes hand, pulling him to the hallway. Their giggles faded and a door slammed shut.
Why did he show up all of a sudden?! ERGH! I COULD STRANGLE DAVE! HE ONLY MET HIM THAT ONE NIGHT AND SUDDENLY THEY'RE SUPER CLOSE!!
"OW!" Karkat hissed.
I realized I was squeezing him. I stopped. "Oh.. Sorry.." I kissed his nose.
"WHATS WRONG?" He climbed up onto my shoulder.
"Nothing.."
"ITS NOT NOTHING! TELL ME! I HAVE TO HELP! ITS MY JOB! ITS MY JOB!" Karkat whined, "I HAVE TO! SO TELL ME!"
"It's grown up stuff Karkat.. I'm just.. Dave never said anything about Jake coming over!! They're acting like they've been best friends for longer than Dave and I have, and it just.. ERGH! What makes HIM so special??"
