*Dave's POV*

"Dave, seriously. Hold still." Kanaya said, trying to fix my hair.

I kept moving around uncomfortably, not liking the closeness. She went back to my hair and flinched as her elbow rubbed my shoulder.

She sighed in frustration.

"Stop fidgeting."

"Stop making out with my sister." I shot back.

She huffed and finished my hair, stepping back and admiring her work.

"Alright, you're all set." She said.

I nodded and thanked her before rushing out of the house and to my car.

—————

"So, what are your plans for tonight?" Vriska asked as she settled into my car.

"You'll see." I replied, smirking.

She smirked too. "Ah, mysterious. I like it."

We ended up going to dinner at a nice restaurant Rose had recommended. Afterwards, I drove us to a park with a small lake.

"Thanks, Dave. This was nice." Vriska said as we were sitting on a bench by the lake.

I nodded and smiled slightly at her.

"It's no big deal."

She smiled and leaned her head on my shoulder. After a few minutes, she laughed quietly. I glanced at her, confused.

"What?"

She looked up at me.

"We're never going out again, are we?"

I looked down and shrugged. She was right, we probably wouldn't.

"It's alright. Tonight was enough. You're a great guy, but I've got my eye on someone else." She said.

"Oh yeah, who?" I asked, smirking.

"Not telling. It's a secret." She said, playfully.

The ride home was pretty much just us joking around and me asking who she liked. After giving me clues, I figured out it was Equius Zahhak, the one who's throwing the party with Nepeta on Saturday. I drove her home and wished her a goodnight before driving back to my place. As I went to open the door, however, I noticed that it was locked. I silently cursed Bro for not leaving a key when he and Jake left for England. I sighed and pulled out my phone, tapping on the PesterChum app.

I shoved my phone in my pocket before driving to John's house. As I pulled into his driveway, I saw him sitting on the steps of his porch.

"You're an idiot." He said as I walked up to him.

"So I've been told." I said, walking inside with him.

We headed up to his room and I grabbed my overnight bag from his closet. I always kept some spare clothes and stuff here in case of emergencies like this.

"You can sleep in my bed, I'll sleep on the couch." John said.

I shook my head. "No, man. Why don't we just sleep in the same bed?"

John bit his lip and shrugged. We had never shared a bed before. Whenever we stayed at each others' houses, we had always made seperate beds on the floor. But, seeing as it was too late, this would have to do.

"You sure? I mean, I could-"

"John, it's fine. It's just for tonight." I cut him off.

He nodded and I went into the bathroom attached to his room to change. When I was done, I came out to find John at his computer. He seemed to be on PesterChum.

"Who are you talking to?" I asked as I slipped into the bed.

He ended the chat and closed the application before turning off the computer and getting up.

"Karkat. Just saying goodnight."

"Since when are you talking to that crab?" I asked.

He shrugged and shifted. I sighed.

"Bro, come on. We're just sleeping, I'm not gonna rape you or some shit." I said, making him blush.

He slowly crawled into bed next to me, facing away from me.

"Do you want to watch a movie to make it less awkward?" I asked.

He turned to me and nodded, smiling. He got up and chose a movie, putting it into his xbox, before hopping back in bed. He pressed play with the controller before setting it on the nightstand and settling back next to me.

"Con-Air? Really?" I sighed as the title showed on the screen.

"Shut up, Nic Cage is awesome." John replied, sticking his tongue out at me.

I rolled my eyes and tried to focus on the movie. But, for some reason, my mind kept wandering to a certain black-haired dork. I watched him through my shades as he watched the movie so intently. His eyes were concentrated on the screen and he was cuddled into the blankets. This went on for the entire movie, just me watching John's reactions to certain parts. As the movie ended, John grabbed the TV remote and shut it off, before taking off his glasses and setting them on the nightstand. I handed him my shades and he did the same with them.

"Night, Dave." John said, yawning adorably.

Woah! Homo alert!!!

"Night, Egderp."

After a few minutes, I slowly reached over and placed my hand on John's arm. I had no idea what I was doing. I moved closer to him, grazing his arm with my fingers. I heard him catch his breath, signalling me that he was still awake.

"D-Dave, what are you doing?" He stuttered.

I slid my arm around him and pulled him back into me.

"Nothing, John." I whispered in his ear, making him shiver.

I lightly kissed his neck, making him gasp quietly. I smiled slightly before falling asleep.

★★★★★

Homo alert!

XD I had to.

But yeah, I am totally high on Faygo right now.

Not even kidding.
