Red (Davekat)

Whatever you do

So, I thought that by saying in the previous chapter that I'd update within the week I would motivate myself, I was right! So here's another chapter brought to you by yours truly. Enjoy. Or don't. Whatever you wanna do I guess.

EDIT: Due to a number of people getting offended, I reworded something in the second paragraph. 

<Be the one who says "fuck" a lot>

Oh my FUCKING GOG!!! What did I just do!?? This is all I could think when I had kissed him. I thought for sure that he'd push me away or some shit, but he didn't. It was amazing! It was even more great that he kissed back. And hot damn did he kiss back. As I had said earlier, he was a really really good kisser. I didn't even care all that much that my favorite sweater was getting bogged with water. Okay, honestly, I wasn't even thinking about anything at all. I could think of was his lips on mine. I was practically breathless when we stopped and my face was probably on fire, forcing myself to look at the sky in wonderment. It was pretty beautiful. I couldn't have asked for a more romantic setting if I tried.

We stayed in the water in silence for a while. His arm around my shoulders and my head on his. It was so hard to bite back a purr that I knew was about one well-placed touch away from erupting out of my throat.

The water was cold, soothing me. I was so excited at the moment that it felt like I was dying. My skin was hot and my entire body was trembling with barely contained excitement.

"you better not tell anyone about this, strider..." I said, my eyes beginning to close due to the gentle sounds of the waves lapping onto the shore and causing both of our clothing to make odd flopping noises as they were pulled away from out bodies and then shoved back against our flushed skin again. He was steady and calm, but I could still feel the warmth radiating from him. He probably wasn't blushing as hard as I was, which was pretty hard. Like, so hard that my face could fry an egg.

His body moved little bit, I assumed that it was a dry laugh that he couldn't quite hold back, "Don't worry, I won't Karkat. I won't," when he kissed my head and spoke those simple words, I melted a little. He sounded so sweet.

"yeah, yeah, whatever," Yeesh Karkat, tsundere much? I felt bad after I said that, so I wrapped my arms around his waist and let out that purr. He smiled and hugged me, kissing my wet hair again.

After a few minutes, Dave spoke up. I was dreading this because I knew that it would mean that our little "moment" was over, "Karkles? We should probably head back now."

"why?" I asked simply, I really didn't want this to end. As soon as it did, I knew that I'd have to hide behind my indifferent, hateful mask.

"The others-"

"so? they probably don't give two fucks that we're gone. it's the break, can we please just enjoy ourselves?"

I looked up at him and he kissed my forehead. His lips were so soft. I couldn't get over that fact. Staring at them briefly, I hesitated just a bit before kissing them softly. My chapped lips against his infinitely softer ones. Sure, it was only for a fraction of a second, but it was still amazing while it lasted.

I pulled away and noticed that, yes, he was blushing too. It was indefinitely more subtle and complimenting then the mess of bright-ass red blood rushing to my cheeks. Okay, if I'm being completely honest with myself, it was hot as fuck. How did he pull this off so well?

Dave cleared his throat, "Okay then, I guess we're staying out here for a bit, but um..."

"hm?"

"Do you mind if we get out of the water Karkles?"

"OH, RI-right, yeah, i guess we should..."

He stood up before me and again reached his hand down to help me stand. Seriously, why was he literally straight out of a rom-com? I held on to his fingers and squeezed them. Dave looked at me and tightened his grip, pulling me along.

We wandered, hand-in-hand under the moonlight for about five minutes before stopping somewhere on the beach. Dave plopped down on the sand and looked up at me. Hesitantly, I sat by him. My clothes were already fucked up, what was a little more sand gonna do?

We sat looking at the moonlit horizon for a while before Dave started moving. I immediately looked over at him and saw that he was lifting the hem of his shirt up. Blushing like a schoolgirl, I turned away, feeling my heart leap into my throat.

The sound of water hitting the ground caught my attention again and I saw out of the corner of my eyes that he was just wringing out the shirt. I waited until he put it back on before turning towards him. I eyed him up and leaned on his shoulder.

He buried his head into my hair and his arm pulled me closer. I noticed that he was actually shaking a little bit and hugged him before looking at him nervously.

"you okay strider?" I asked.

"Hm, oh, yeah. I'm just a little cold."

I rubbed a hand over one of his arms gently and kissed his cheek before sighing and giving in.

"i suppose that we should head back then," dammit.

We stood up together and started walking. He hummed and I kicked up sand, swinging our hands back and forth like a child. He didn't seem to care though. It took maybe ten minutes of lazy walking to get back to the hive, we picked up the towel and my book on the way back, and when we did, I pulled my hand away before stepping onto the threshold.

I could hear laughter from inside and as Dave and I walked inside of the room, everyone turned to look at us. Rose smiled and greeted us warmly before noting our soaked clothing.

"Have an accident, did we?" She raised an eyebrow at us and I flushed, leaving Dave to explain or whatever he wanted to do.

"Oh, right," He laughed, "I tripped and fell in the water. Decided to pull Karkles here in with me," I looked down, weirdly embarrassed that he covered up for me and I elbowed him in the side. Rose probably took it as a sign of irritation because she gave me a sharp look.

Crossing my arms, I looked away towards a wall, "SO, IF YOU'RE DONE MAKING US STAND HERE, *SOAKING WET*, I WOULD LIKE TO GO AND CLEAN UP IF YOU DON'T MIND."

"Oh, calm down Karkat," She moved though and I rushed up to my room.

Hastily washing the salt water off of my body, I got changed and flopped on the bed, staring at the ceiling. I started to let my thought wander. I hadn't really thought about getting into any kind of... anything with Dave before today. He was a very exasperating person and was always teasing me, or making things difficult. It irritated the fuck out of me, but something told me that what I was feeling definitely wasn't black. He was attractive, sure, but there was something else that urged me towards him. I'm sure that he would say his "Strider charm" had finally worked on me. I snorted at the thought, yeah, right. Maybe I liked him because even though he did all of those irritating things, he still managed to be so gogdamned sweet and considerate. He made it clear that he really cared, but he was also so impossible sometimes.

Groaning, I pressed my palms into my eyes. Stupid romance novels. I blamed them. Standing up, I stretched my arms over my head and yawned before walking out and wandering into the kitchen for some water. I downed the whole cup and joined everyone in the living room.

Hesitantly, I sat next to Dave because why the fuck not? The rest of the people were just kinda... lounging around, bored. I watched Sollux and John talk about something before the yellowblood's face lit up with a grin.

"You guy2 bored yet?" There were a couple of skeptical looks from Kanaya and Eridan, but he went on, "good, cuz now we're gonna play 2ome Truth or Dare!"

Don't judge me I'm corny and have no other ideas at this point. If you have any suggestions, please tell me or the next chapter will be lame as fuck because I suck at coming up with topics. Anyway, short update, I know, but you can deal with it.
