In love with my assassin

Freedom Day

First of all, happy freedom day. I'm really tired and this is going to be half-assed so. Also, this does not tie into the story!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dave's POV

    Today was Karkat's first firework show and we thought to make it extra special by lighting them ourselves. It was a fun tradition me and Dirk had back in Texas. I ran up to light off a few screamers and than ran back to Karkat because he was so jumpy. He didn't really care for them but he did enjoy the smoke bomb earlier. When we first started I wrote 'I love you' out with a sparkler. It was nice and he hugged be after it went out since he didn't want to get burned. 

    We set off a few more fireworks and I held on to him for dear life, that's a lie it was the other way around. Near the end, he started to get used to it until we set off the grand finale to where he shrieked and ran under my arm. I held him and pet his head to make him a bit calmer but he was shaking a bit. I don't blame him though, he said he never experienced them before so he was a bit startled, which I get. It reminded me of home which brought a slight smile to my face.

    It was around 10:30 pm when we ended the fiasco and everyone went home. It was at me and Karkat's place so of course, I picked up while he went inside to take a shower. When I was done picking up I joined him in the shower since there was no use of overusing water. When we got out and dried off we put or sleepwear on and cuddled for a bit watching some youtube on the TV I built into our room. I look down at Karkat who's eyes were half-lidded and smiled. "Love you baby, happy 4th." I looked back up at me and smiled pecking my lips softly.

"Love you too, Davey. Happy weird holiday." I laughed squeezing him in the cuddle which made him laugh as well. We fell asleep watching some good old vines and wrapped up in each other's limbs and blankets. I swear I love this boy with my whole heart and hopefully this will become a tradition.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yo it's almost midnight when this is posted. I was going to make it a smut but I'll do that here soon in the one-shots. It may be tomorrow, who knows. Anyways, happy 4th y'all. Take care, ~Catt.
