In love with my assassin

Club 2

Karkat’s POV

   I’ve never been to a club before, mainly because I’m underage but yet at that, I’m scared of people in general. I mean, after Gamzee I’ve always been shaken up. We enter the bar which looks like a wasteland right now. Roxy goes to her post as a barista while Dave and me head up to the DJ booth. He grabs a chair from the back and puts it by the wall so no one could see me. He grabs another chair putting it by my chair. “I’m going to set everything up, I’ll be with you in a moment” I nod as walk to Roxy who is cleaning out some glasses.

“Hey Rox, what’s up?”

“Nothing, just cleaning glasses for earlier.”

“From earlier?”

“Yeah, it opens at 2pm until 6pm for the day club then it reopens at 8pm, which is here soon, until 2am.”

“Oh, so that’s why you guys get home late.”

“Yeah but we only work until midnight due to being underage. After 2 is when all of the creeps start to get creepier.” I chuckle a bit as she sets a glass down. “No, seriously! One time when I first worked until 2 am a guy almost climbed on top of the bar table just to have me go with him. I was with Jane and Calli at that time, and still am!” I shook my head in schock.

“Karkat!” I snap my attention to Dave who was leaning on a side table to host his drinks and snacks. “You know that we are allowed to drink here since we work here?” My jaw drops and shook my head in amusement. “Yeah, pretty strange but it’s whatever.”

“Hey, at least I’m 21”

“Yeah but you’re the bartender so you can’t drink plus you’re trying to quit!” The two argued for a long time until the manager came out. He was kinda tall, well taller than me, he also had black hair, and eyepatch, a fedora looking hat, a cane in hand, all complimented by a suit.

“You two cut it out.” They instantly went back to what they were doing not a peep from them. “Now, who do you have with ya-- Karkat my boy!” I ran up to him and hugged him tightly.

“Yo, what?” Roxy was really confused and Dave was slightly angered. “Mr. Spade Slick, what’s going on?” I look towards Roxy letting him go.

“Spade Slick was there to take care of me when Signless wasn’t there. He’s like my, what do you guys call it… Step dad?” She nods and cleans the last cup.

“I was about to say.” I look at Dave who was walking towards us. “I was gonna throw hands man.” I shake my head as Dave wrapped his arms around my waist. I lean my head back and snuggle into his chest.

“So, are you two?” I nod looking at Spade. He mouths ‘Oh’ and readjusts his cane. “Well, I’m going to be in my office, get me when you need me!” I gave him one more hug then went back to my chair and waited for the club to open. By 7:59 there was a fairly good line outside the door.

“10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, FUUUUUUUUUCK!” Dave and Roxy groan in unison. A few of the people go to the bar ready to start their night and a few girls went up to the booth to talk to Dave.

“Hello Dave~” Dave shook his head and he talked with the two girls.

“Hello girls” They squeal a bit as he chuckled.

“So, w-who is that?” They point back to me and I look up from my phone. I tilt my head to the side to see them better. One has brown messy hair, flat chested and a red dress. The other one had blonde hair, pretty big chest, and a blue dress on. Dave looks back at me and smiles.

“That’s my partner in crime” He look back at the girls who had a confused look on their faces. “Anyways, what are your guys’ names?”

“Samantha” Said the blonde one then she pointed to the brown headed one. “And this is Collen” (If you get this reference I love you) “But uhm, what do you mean that he’s your partner in crime?”

“What it means, my partner in crime.”

“No but what does it reaaaaaaaaly mean?” Dave was really frustrated and you could see it clear as day. His face was fuming red and he was clutching his fists so hard he could break skin on his palm.

“Don’t push it girls”

“Come on we just wanna know~” Dave wanted to keep our relationship out of his night job in case any drunk homophobe decided to attack him. I get up and walk towards him, patting his shoulder having him turn around.

“It’s okay Dave, you just have to walk away. Don’t relive this, okay?” He nods going to his post setting up the mic. The girls looked at me in disbelief. “Now girls, you could see that he didn’t want to tell you what it means and you should respect that. No one should have to explain something they don’t want to. Now, either back away and if I hear you pestering him about it through the night I won’t hesitate to get the manager of this place.” I walk back to my seat at the girls walk away.

   Dave looks back at me once again and smiles. I smile back at him warmly as he turns around. He starts some poppy dubstep music and people cheer. I look down at my phone to see it’s only 8:10. This is going to be a long night. Time passes by quickly I stood up from my chair and make my way to the bar and sit down near Roxy. “Hey kiddo!, What’s up?” I yawn a bit looking up at her.

“Nothing much?” I yawn again resting my head on the table.

“Tired?” I nod and she pets my head. “Hey, it’s,” She pauses a second before continuing. “11:30, we only have half an hour before we switch off with other people.” I nod bringing my head up and looking around. There were flashing lights everywhere and loud music. I felt like I was on an acid trip. I was hungry and had a headache. I get off the stool and stretch a bit.

“I’m going back to my post” She nods serving someone else another drink. I get back to where Dave was and I wrapped my arms around his torso. He turns around and looks down at me.

“Tired baby?” I nod snuggling into his chest.

“And hungry as fuck” Dave chuckles and taps my arms to let me know I had to let go. He goes down on his knees and reaches under his DJ stand. He pulls out some McDonalds and hands me the bag.

“Don’t worry, it’s fresh. I was waiting for you to tell me you were hungry before giving it to you” I grumble in frustration as he got up and went to his post once again. I nibble on the given meal admiring Dave from behind. I really do love him, he means the world to me. The way he smiles only at me when other are around, how he lets me sees his eyes, the way he says I love you and compliments me out of nowhere. All of the nicknames, kisses, cuddles, hugs, just everything about him and everything he does makes me fall in love with him even more. Speaking of which, I see Dave and Roxy bring out their phones, Dave looks at the song durriation then back to his phone. He looks up at Roxy and nods.

“3, 2, 1! GOODBYE PEOPLE!” The song ends as people cheer and wave goodbye. Dave cleans up his area for the next guy and Roxy does the same. I stand up with my trash in one hand and the chair I sat in in the other. I put my chair up and throw my trash away. We head out the back door to Roxy’s car. Roxy runs up apologizing for being late. We hop into the car and head for home. I rest my head on Dave’s shoulder my eyes becoming heavy.

“Hey baby, sleep if you need to, I’ll carry you in, it’s no big deal.” I nod yawning falling asleep on Dave’s shoulder and to a quiet radio.
