Pov Karkat
I snuggle up into the warmth of Dave's side as he runs his hand gently through my hair.
The two of us were laying on our bed just messing around. We didn't really have much to do today so we thought we would just chill.
Dave's been really busy with work lately so we haven't had much chance to see each other. He even skipped out on our date night two days ago because something had come up.
I didn't really like how distant it seemed we were becoming... Ever since recently I constantly had this horrible feeling that something was up but I just- don't know what it is.
Part of me feels like Dave has been acting different lately. But of course, i have no proof and I'm probably just being paranoid.
Dave and I had been a couple for over a year and I knew if something was up, he'd tell me.
My anxiety has been really bad the past few weeks or so and I wish I knew way. I would just randomly have these horrible panic attacks which would make it so hard to do anything that really needed to be done. Sometimes I was too- I guess you could say broken, to even go to school.
I haven't really had time to talk to Dave about it because I didn't want him worrying. But I've informed Kankri.
My older brother can be a pain, but he's been helping. He's understanding on days I feel like it's too difficult to get out of bed and do my normal routine.
Dave has always taken things like this extremely seriously and has always wanted to help if I ever felt a certain way when it came to my anxiety or panic attacks, but there's not really much he could do. He tries his best. I just prefer if he doesn't waste his time on me, I'm really not worth it.
I'm suddenly snapped away from my thoughts when I feel Dave gently kiss the top of my head as he looks as me.
"You alright baby? You seem stressed."
I relax slightly at the nickname he's called me oh so many times before. I lean a bit into the comfortable bed, embracing the blankets slightly.
"Yea I'm fine just got some things on my mind"
Why did you lie to him? You're not fine. You're the opposite of that. You feel like you're dying inside. Dave would just want to help. Stop pushing him away as you do everyone else. This is why you have no friends. Dave doesn't even really like you- he'd leave the second he had the chance to.
I quickly smile ignoring the thoughts going through my mind and I see Dave slowly take his shades off before lifting my chin to look me in the eyes.
I feel a shiver run through my back and I watch his hand move through the air as he goes to set his shades down on the side table, next to my bed.
"Alright... If anything's going on... you know you can talk to me Karkat"
I nod my head, smiling once again before Dave leans down to gently kiss my lips. I kiss back before moving back down in my before position.
I shift away quickly from Dave's arms and wrap myself in the warm and fluffy blanket.
"Oh my god you dork." I hear Dave laugh at me and I roll my eyes.
"What fucking ever Strider. You wish you looked as good as all this"
I wink at him as I watch him let out another laugh.
"Yup one hundred percent"
Before I could make another comment I turn my head to the sound of my door gently opening and I look over to see Kankri sticking his head in my room.
"Hey boys. Just checking in on you two. And in case either of you are hungry I have some grilled cheese sandwiches downstairs for lunch."
Dave looks at me excitedly and I smile before speaking.
"Go ahead Dave. I'm not really hungry but thanks anyways Kankri"
"Thanks babe. Don't worry I'll be back in a few"
Dave leans down to quickly peck my lips before he stands up from my bed causing me to shift from my before position. He leaves the room and Kankri closes the door behind him.
I hear the two move downstairs as I snuggle up closely to a pillow.
"Jegus what is this damn feeling"
I feel my heart slowly sink out of my chest as breathing suddenly becomes very difficult. I remember what Kankri informed me to do in situations like this and I close my eyes before breathing in for 4 seconds, holding it for 7, letting it out for 8. (I think I got that right... idfk I'm too lazy to go and check)
I repeat this a few times before I suddenly jump up causing the bed to shake as I hear the sound of Dave's phone ringing.
I let out a frustrated sigh before picking up his phone and seeing John had texted him.
'Dave will you be here soon? I miss you~'
My eyes widen slightly as I read the text on his lockscreen.
"What the actual fuck?"
I feel my heart beat increase slightly.
What the hell does that mean? 'I miss you' what the fuck. Is dave- no. No he wouldn't. I should- check... I know his password. He would be pissed... but... I just-
I run my hand roughly through my hair pushing through tangles as I feel dread enter my stomach.
Quickly, I type in Dave's password needing to investigate. I move to his texts and click on John's chat box.
I start scrolling up and I don't even make it five seconds before seeing graphic pictures.
"What the- h-hell" I feel my voice crack mid-sentence as a mixed sob approaches my throat.
Scrolling up a bit more I see some texts from two days ago.
John- So you sure you can make it tonight Dave?
Dave- yea I told Karkat I had to cancel date night for work and he didn't question. I wouldn't worry about it
John- Alright. I'll see you in a bit handsome~
Water start to fill my eyes as I put one and one together figuring out where Dave really was on the night he decided to cancel.
Before my mind has time to process anymore thoughts or emotions I hear the door open quickly and watch Dave move into the room.
"Karkat? Are you crying? Baby what's wro-"
"Shut. The f-fuck up."
Dave suddenly stops his moving as he's about halfway through the room quickly rushing to me.
"W-what? Wait- babe... why are you on my phone?"
I watch as a more concerned look grows on Dave's face as he begins to turn slightly pale.
"Where- where were you- two nights ago. The day w-we were su-supposed to have ou-our date night b-b-but you de-decided to c-can-cancel on me?"
My tears start to become more fierce and fall more quickly as I watch Dave look around the room nervously.
"D-did you fucking look through my phone while I was gone? Jesus I have no privacy when I'm around you. Damn it Karkat you're so dramatic."
Dave walks forward before he fiercely takes his phone out of my hands and starts to slowly raise his voice.
"Y-you cheated on me. With- with John. I saw- saw the texts Dave."
He quickly turned to look at me with a violent glare in his eyes.
"I did not fucking cheat on you. John gave me the attention yoU WOULDNT. It's noT MY DAMN FAULT YOU'RE SO FUCKING PATHETIC AND THE SECOND THINGS START TO GET SEXUAL BETWEEN US YOU BACK OUT"
I start to grow more upset and slowly grip my hands into fists.
"I told you. I wasn't ready. I'm not ready. Respect that and respect me."
"Fuck you Karkat. You attention whore. All you ever do is complain about how 'depressed' you fucking are. Get. Over. Yourself. I'm done with you."
I let out a mangled sob before hiding my face in my hands.
"A-asshole"
Suddenly I feel a sharp pain flow through my neck as Dave grips onto me causing my hands to fall to the side.
"Watch your language when you speak to me."
My instant reaction is to spit in Dave's face causing him to fall back slightly and he gets even more pissed off.
He starts to quickly approach me lifting one of his hands up in the air. I lean back against the wall in horror as he slams it down preparing to hit my face.
I stand there with my eyes held tightly shut waiting for the moment of pain.
"Get the hell out of my house or I'm calling the police."
I open my eyes when I hear Kankri's voice and I see him tightly gripping into Dave's hands standing in front of me. I fall to the floor sobbing into my knees as I hear heavy footsteps exit my room.
Kankri is quickly at my side asking me many questions but all I hear are the dark thoughts running through my mind and the sound of Dave yelling at me.
I feel a pair of arms wrap around my body as I'm rocked back and forth.
"Hey- it's ok... Karkat I just need you to tell me what happened come on..."
I look up slowly from my arms with tears and snot running down my face messily before speaking in a faint whisper.
"H-he che-cheated"
