Morning Runs (Dave x Karkat)

Chapeter 2: It's Not Unusual

Your name is Dave Strider and it's not unusual.

You were just trying to sleep in on the weekend but no. Your bro has to mess things up for you. He shook you violently, threatening to smack you with one of his swords.

You groan in response. "Bro, come on, man. let me sleep for just a couple more," You mumble as you turn on your side. He does indeed, smack you with one of his swords, reminding you that you have to do your usual yard work.

Letting out a sigh, you get up and a few minutes later, you're ready for work. 'I should get paid for this' you think to yourself as you start up the lawnmower.

As you made your way around the lawn, you felt like it was taking you longer than it usually did. Of course, you're tired as hell. That's probably why. Yawning, you spotted a guy running on the sidewalk. He was short and had the nubbiest horns you've ever seen on a troll. With every step, his curly hair bounced.

His face was pretty red from running and as he slowed down for a break, you decide to say hello. Well, more like just do your usual 'sup' and shit. You wanted to offer him something to drink but he ran off before you could ask. Dammit.

Well, it wasn't the first time you've seen him. You both go to the same school so maybe you can talk to him then. Wiping off the sweat from your forehead, you continue your work. You could tell it was gonna be a loooong morning.
