In love with my assassin

Morning Time

Dave’s pov.

   I play with Karkat’s hair as Mr. Vantas enters my room. “Karkat it ti--” He stops, looks at us, and smiles. “He can stay with you, I will be over here soon to bring him clothes” I nod as he left. I focus back onto Karkat as I too become tired. I sigh leaning back onto my pillow him falling lower onto my chest. I take my shades off and put them onto my nightstand. I’ve never been able to sleep well. I groan flipping me and Karkat over onto out sides. I reach around and hug is torso, snuggle my face into his hair, close my eyes and try to sleep.

   I wake up next morning feeling more away than normal. Karkat is still asleep and there is a bag right by my door. Must be his clothes. I let go of his torso and try to stand up. I lose balance for a second but still managing to stand. I take off my shirt looking at my scars from past strifes. I hang my head shaking it before I put on a new shirt, throwing on a pair of black jeans and walk out of my room. “Morning!” Rang Jane from the kitchen.

“You’re up early.”

“Yeah well, I wanted to cook a nice breakfast for everyone before school!”

“What are you cooking anyways?”

“Omalates”

“Remember the peppers and cheese!”

“AH! OH NO!” I laugh and head into the living room picking up the mess Dirk and Jane left.

“You guys need to clean up more. I understand Dirk’s reason but come on Jane, you’re the neatest here.”

“I know but hey man, I was tired as shit. Dirk whooped my ass in that game”

“Isn’t it an adventure game?”

“Well, whatever it is, Dirk beat me at it.” I shake my head once again throwing the trash away.

“Need any help?”

“Yeah actually, can you get everyone their drinks? No alcohol for Roxy.” I nod reaching and setting out the glasses.

“Isn’t she trying to stop?”

“Yeah, that’s my point” I nod grabbing AJ, OJ, Milk, and Water into the glasses. (NOT ALL TOGETHER BECAUSE, EW!) I yawn rubbing my eyes behind my shades. “Sleep well?” I shrug a bit.

“Better than normal but not fully, no.”

“I see, it’s good, it’s been getting better. Karkat seems to help you sleep. If his parents agree then it’d be nice for you. To have someone around to talk to, to cuddle, to smile at, it’s also nice because he helps you sleep.”

“Yeah.” She laughs a bit smiling.

“I remember when Roxy asked me to move in. I was scared but Dad let me. At first it was rocky because me and Roxy weren’t dating yet but as soon as we did it all fell into place.” She smiled wider taking the newly fresh omolate off the stove and onto a big platter then setting it in the middle of the table. “Could you be a dear and wake up the others?” I nod walking upstairs.

   I reach Dirk and Jake’s door opening it slowly. Jake was laying on top of Dirk his head in the crook of his neck. Dirk’s arms were protectively around Jake’s waist. “RISE N’ SHINE FUCKERS!” Jake bolts awake as Dirk tosses himself onto his side. “Dirk! Get your lazy ass up. Jane made breakfast.” He groaned and swung his legs over to the side of the bed. I left their room and went to Rose and Kanaya’s.

“Hello David.” I look to see the two getting ready.

“Hey, Jane made breakfast, come down with ready.” They nod as I exit their room, I turn around to see Roxy heading downstairs, I nod at that and went into my room. I smile as I walk over to the side of my bed. I grab Karkat’s shoulder and shake him lightly. “Hey babe, time to wake up.” He groaned and wrapped his arms around my neck. “I can’t carry you today, we have school, your dad packed you clothes, they’re by the door. Come down when dressed. We have food.” He nods as well stretching and getting up.

   I walk down stairs to see everyone but Karks there. “Is he moving?” I nod sitting down in my chair.

“Slowly but he is.” They nod and resume their normal chatter.

“Dave” I raise my head slowly chewing my food. I cover my mouth ready to speak.

“What?”

“How are you doing in school so far?”

“I’m doing good, Dirk. I have one C but that’s in literacy. Others are A’s and a few B’s”

“Good!” He goes back to eating as well as I. Karkat trudges down the stairs wearing an overly big sweater and black jeans. “Morning sunshine” I glare at Dirk behind my shades.

“Morning” His voice is deeper and quieter than normal.

“How’d you sleep?”

“Okay, until you woke me up” He glared at me as I smiled.

“You needed to wake up. You we’re going to miss school.”

“They can continue without me…”

“Now, don’t think like that! Come on, sit.” He does as I say resting his head on my shoulder.
~~~~~~~~ Le Time Skip~~~~~~~

   Karkat eventually woke up enough to eat some breakfast. We decided to walk again since there was a nice breeze out. “Mmmmhhh… I don’t wanna go to school…”

“Why not?”

“I don’t know… I just don’t wanna put up with people today. Especially after prom.”

“Why say that?”

“I mean. Gosip? Don’t get me wrong I love the way you asked me but everyone would spread it around and I’m just unsure of how others would react.”

“Which I thank you and I get that. No one would hurt you that’s for sure.” I softly smile as we head into school. Once we enter people they smile and some people look at our intertwined hands and smirk at us. Everything was nice until we spotted our friends.

“AHHHH!” Half of them yelled, running over to us while the others walked. “IIt took you long enough!” I laughed at Sollux’s response while Karkat’s younger “sister”, Nepeta, looked a bit sad.

“I’ve got her.” I let go of Karkat’s hands and walked over to her. “Hey, Nep, what’s wrong?” She stayed quiet for a bit looking up at me. “I know we don’t talk much but if you need, you can always talk to me.” She took a breath signaling that she was about to talk.

“Well, the thing is… I actually had a small crush on Karkitty.” She looks down at her feet. “When you started to date him I realized I will never get a change and--” She looks up tears filled her eyes. “I know it’s wrong for you guys to date a sibling but, I don’t know…” I wipe some of her tears away.

“Look, I didn’t know but in the end it’s his decision. Just because he didn’t choose you it doesn’t mean he doesn’t care. I was the one that was chosen, well I asked but that’s besides the point.” She nods hugging me.

“Thank you.” I rub her back mummering a welcome. We pull away and catch up with the others in the group.

“Hey, we’re back.” He nods resting his head against my arm. I smile at him continuing to class.
