Morning Runs (Dave x Karkat)

Chapter 4: A Little Too Late

Your name is Dave Strider and Bro is the biggest dick in the world.

He wakes you violently to do yard work but doesn't wake you up to go to school. That dick. You'll get him back later, but for now, you need to get ready.

Tripping a couple of times as you put on your shoes, you grabbed your backpack and swung it on. Shit, hopefully you're not that late. You run out of your room and into the garage, grabbing your bike and hopping on.

For some reason your eyes seem to wander over to the other bike, and you thought about that troll riding home with you. You smiled and grabbed the bike, starting your ride to school.

                        *******

You're finally at school and you are fucking late. Like, its not even late anymore. You should've just skipped school today. You quickly grab the late pass and run to your fifth period.

You notice you are just drenched in sweat when you get there. "shit..." you mutter to yourself before opening the door to the cold classroom. You shiver a bit when you walk in but soon get used to the cold, handing over the tardy slip to the teacher.

You were lucky she didn't ask you why you were late this time. She always did that to you and only you. You think she hates you. You make your way over to a free seat, which just happened to be at a table where Karkat is sitting at.

As you sit down and turned to face the teacher, you notice that the young troll was staring at you. You would smile but that would break the Strider Code.

That's when the teacher called out Karkat. She knew he wasn't paying attention and therefore told him to solve a complicated as fuck question. I mean what the hell how many numbers are there? There must be like fifty! And the letters. What the shit what the hell are THOSE?

God you felt bad for the guy. You looked over to him and saw him covering his face with his hoodie. Oh my god that's adorable. You can't help but crack your first smile, which only made him cover his face even more. You thought it was cute and smiled just a little wider.
