Those cold nights

Triggers: Swearing, Suicidal actions, abuse

====> Reader: Be the girl in the snow

Holy shit how it was cold. You are (f/n) (l/n) and you were sick of your family. You have been cutting for years, your mother and father just starting to 'care' and cut your (h/c) hair and gave you plenty of bruises this winter night. Currently all you wore was a (f/c) (anime or band here) t-shirt and a pair of black pajama shorts. You did not expect to be kicked out with these clothes in the middle of the winter! It is not your fault you were suicidal and at least need your scars have air at home! Everybody except your parents and yourself did not know about your cutting and suicidal problems, even your best friend, Dave Strider. You have been friends with him ever since John introduced him to you. Luck was not on your side through all these years though, having been bullied for your interests and your looks. You were imperfect like everybody else, but people said the opposite about themselves. The only one who was fast enough to help you with the bullies at the time was Dave, though. Sadly, you knew for a fact that Dave would never fall for a girl like yourself when you go to his apartment... If you make it, that is... Yeah yeah, you have a small(HUGE) crush on the heart breaker, and that is why you knew it was one sided. You slid your phone out, lightly putting your 4 digit passcode and opening your pesterchum. Dave was on! Good god he better not be busy...

====> Reader: Be the cool kid

You are fucking-

==> No. This is YOUR STORY, you stay you. Now get back to yourself you creep.

====> Reader: Be yourself again

You sat on the leather swing and moved constantly to cause some heat to enter your body. You knew very well how to swing without hands, so you hugged the one of two things you snatched before you got kicked out. Your Winnie the Pooh giant Lumpy plush. Yeah you liked Lumpy from Winnie the Pooh, problem? You were so childish. You shivered and hugged Lumpy tighter, having his soft, plush, Heffalump body close to yours. You sighed in relief as you saw the orange and black truck pull up. Dave was obviously using his Bro's truck. It had smuppets and Lil Cal faces painted on it as well, if you don't mind adding. You hopped off into the snow from on the swing, grabbing a paper bag, which held your other item, which was actually lots of the same thing. You carefully ran over to the passenger side of the truck, opening the unlocked door and slipping inside, holding Lumpy close and placing your bag onto the floor "Dave, can you turn the heat all the way up?" "Sure (n/n)" You watched silently as Dave moved his hand and turned the heat up. "So, (f/n). Tell me what happened when we get to my apartment, got it? Ya' cant back out because you already said you would over the fucking internet. If you don't tell me when we get there i will shove a smuppet up your ass, ironically." You chuckled lightly and nodded "I will tell you, Dave, don't worry." Why did you laugh... This is not even funny... You made a sigh before looking out the window as Dave drove. He was driving slow, maybe to let the heat get to your body before you went into the cold again to get to the complex which held his apartment. "(F/n....) Why do you have a huge assortment of panties in the bag?" You blushed furiously, hiding your face behind the Heffalump and your arm "Don't think of anything bad about it, Dave. It will be explained with my story!"

~Time skip brought to you by voice acting Maplehoof~

You ended up in Dave's bed, sitting with his blankets curled around you and Dave like a fucking cuddle fest and a cup of hot chocolate for both you, courtesy of Bro.

"(F/n), are you able to explain now?"
"Yeah... I can't believe you didn't ask about my arms in the truck..."
"What about your a- oh my god..."

Dave grabbed your hot chocolate, which was pretty much gone anyways, and set them on the floor, making sure they couldn't be knocked over. Dave grasped your shoulders, the blanket moving off of you and him, sliding down both of your backs "Tell me why you have been cutting and explain what happened. Now, (f/n)." You made a sharp sigh, putting your hands on your knees "I started cutting maybe three years ago, only making light cuts.. I will say why in the explanation but you have to promise you won't stop being my friend unless it is a good reason when you hear it..." Dave just nodded and let your shoulders go, putting his hands on yours and waited for you to start.

"I have been getting abused by my parents ever since my lil' sis died three years ago, which i was blamed for it because she got killed in the coffee shop robbery when she had an asthma attack right when it happened and she was shot... I was the one who brought her there and my parents didn't seem to care that it was not really my fault. I started cutting a day after it started and up to this day i have been cutting for another reason as well..."

This is your last chance at telling him, (f/n).... Make it count....

"Dave, i have been cutting for the abuse and i have been cutting because i know i like you in a 'more than a friend' way and i know it is one sided, and i don't think you would ever be my friend anymore if i told you earlier, and i don't blame you if you don't, i am the wors-"

"(F/n), shut up."

Your eyes widened and the tears that pricked your eyes, from when you talked about your sister and the love, fell down your cheeks like you were a living Niagara Falls. You closed your eyes and shook your head "I-I'm sorry, Dave... I can leave now-" you were cut off by a pair of textured, chapped lips hit your cold lips. You opened your eyes and saw that Dave had taken his shades off, probably for ironic purposes, and was looking at you. He was the one to stop the gentle kiss and he smirked, his vibrant ruby eyes staring into your (e/c) orbs. "I love you too, (f/n). Next time, don't keep me waiting." He smirked more if that was possible for a Strider, as it looked like a smile. "Now, since you like me and i like you, that makes us a couple. No objections." He made a nervous chuckle as you started to sob and laugh at the same time, hugging Dave and staining his shirt with your sad and happy tears. "Awe, (f/n) don't cry, that is so unStriderly of you." You sniffed and you stifled a giggle between your gasps for air due to your short sob session. Dave placed his hand on your back, rubbing it lightly "Babe, stop cryin'. It ain't cool." You giggled and wiped your tears with your hand, hugging Dave tightly again

"Glad to be your man, (f/n). You can stay here an' Bro and I can take care of your parents. We don't tolerate abuse here." You smiled and right there, you fell asleep from being so warm by your bestie, being so tired from being in the cold for so long and the hot cocoa. The last thing you heard was Dave saying he loved you before you fell into a wonderful light sleep.

~Extended Ending!~

It was a month after the whole hooking up thing happened, your parents were sent to jail for child abuse and Dave made you an official girlfriend. One thing seemed to be bothering Dave though....

"Dave, what is wrong?"

"You never told me why you had all of those panties."

"Eep! Dave, not now! Your bro is here!"

(A/N: My first Homestuck reader insert. I hope i did good >~<! Sorry if Dave is OOC and if you don't like Winnie the Pooh, just Lumpy is adorable and he calms even the most hateful hater. <3 hope i did good!)
