WHATEVER STRIDER - DaveKat (and more)

A New Song On The Radio

You are Karkat and you are lost in his eyes

When you woke up from your dreams, the first thing you noticed is that your eyes were still closed, you just barely cracked them open, your eyelashes fluttering, and saw Strider. His head was bent down to yours, and he seemed relaxed. And then he kissed you. 

You don't know what you expected, he was so close. But you made sure he didn't know that you are awake. Dave sat down on the couch, and you remained in his arms. He took his shades off and squinted at the ceiling. This is it. You yawn. He reaches for his shades, but you shove them out of reach. Dave, being taller could reach them, but first he would have to open his eyes all the way. He reaches, and you catch a flash of red. Why red? Had Dave been crying? No matter now. He replaced his shades. 

"Dave...?" you whisper, "Take your shades off, please? I want to see your eyes for real" He looks away and takes them off again, his eyes are still squinted against the basically non-exsistent light. He tilts his head down to look at you, full in the face. For the first time.

"Good morning sunshine" he whispers.

"Good morning Dave" you reply, breathless. "I- Dave, you're a freak too?" You cant believe your eyes, or his. They are the exact same shade of blood red as yours. You sit up, not sure what to think. He pulls you closer, burying his face in your hair.

--Some fucking adorable cuddles ensue--

"Hey Kitkat" 

"Yeah?"

"I love you"

"I love you too"

--Later That Day--

It is around 3:00 pm, and you are still at Dave's house. You hear a knock on the front door, and make your way over.

"Yeah?" you ask, opening the door.

"What the FUCK are you doing here Karkat?!?" Fuck, it was Dave's bro, Dirk. You forgot that he actually lived here.

"I came over last night, but there was a thunderstorm, so I stayed over."

"Wheres Dave?"

"He's 'Mixing Beats'. I'll get him." You go inside and poke Dave, who is sitting at his turntables. "Your Bro is back."

"Huh?Oh right..." Dave gets up and walks to the front door. "'Sup Bro"

"Hello Dave. Why didn't Karkat go home LAST NIGHT?"

"Jeez man, chill. There was a storm, and Kitkat is afraid of thunder." You really hope that Dave didn't actually just say that. He did. Dammit! Bro looks at your face, and seeing your distress, says

"It's okay, buddy. When asked, Dave told me nothing." Well that's a relief. 

"Are you going to make me leave?"

"Nah" Phew! You really don't want to leave. 

--That Evening--

God, you really should get around to making some dinner, it sometimes seems like the Striders live off nothing but Doritos, and apple juice. You were mostly correct. Their fridge was full, but most of it looked kind of stale. You make do with what there is. After almost 45 minutes you decide to just get take out from somewhere nearby. But then, just in time to make you jump, you hear the *BOOM* of thunder, and see a flash of lightning. You scurry inside as fast as you can, running right into Dirk- I'm confused, is Dirk also Bro in this story? Well, yeah. Duh.

"You really are afraid of thunder aren't you"

"Umm... No?"

"Yes you are, my brother's little boyfriend is afraid of THUNDER"

"I- I'm not his boyfriend..?" You kind of wish you were.

"Well maybe it isn't official, but I can see the way he looks at you. He fucking loves you." Oh my Gog he does? Wow.. you don't really know what to think. Duh, Come ON Vantas! You knew that was gonna happen! This is like watching one of your cheesy romcoms, except with inter-species romance. Ick. Wow, okay. That's the most you've ever said to me. You look over at Dirk, and he is staring at you.

"Hello? Dirk? EARTH TO DIRK!"

"What?"

"You were just staring at me"

"Oh, sorry, you were talking so I thought it was to me, but then you started mumbling shit about romcoms?"

"Heh yeah... I don't really have an explanation, other than the fact that- INTERVENTION!!! ALERT!!! NO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!!! Dude chill, I wasn't going to okay?

"Forget I said anything"

"Well enjoy your boyfriend 'Kitkat'. I'll see ya round here" He leaves. You sit down with Dave at his turntables.

"Will you show me how this works?" and he did.
