I just wanted an autograph {Davekat/BandAU}

I know you...

I spent most of the day chilling. I couldn't message Dave because he was rehearsing. I found myself needing his warmth. I tried to block him out of my head but I couldn't. I need him. I shake my head. No I don't. I'm fine. Even though I'm in the car, on the way to the concert. I can't wait to see him. I get to hear Strilondes music in person!! Fuck yes!!! I jump giddily in the car seat. Nepeta joins me. She signs 'why are we jumping' 

"BECAUSE WE CAN!!!" I say confidently as we keep jumping. Kanaya groans and speeds up which sends Nepeta and I back into our seats violently. We didn't jump for the rest of the car ride. When we arrived at the concert I was to scared to move. Nepeta and Kanaya had to shake me till I could move. It was not fun. 

Oh gog here I go... my cheeks hurt from keeping down my smile. I take a deep breath in as Kanaya shows security our back stage passes. Here goes nothing. My heart pounds against my chest. This is really happening. We walk up some stairs and around a corner. Then around another corner. Down a hallway. Around ANOTHER corner. After that we end up in the actual back stage. It's dark aside from the setting sun shining in through the cracks. 

"Look who decided to show up 3 hours early." I hear the familiar voice of Dave Strider say. I look around and see him step out from the other side of the stage. He smirks. An electric guitar on his back. I hold down the urge to run and hug him. 

"THAT'S WHEN THE TICKETS SAID TO COME DICKWAD." I cross my arms. Rox peaks his head out of from behind the green room door.

"Rose!!! Your troll cuddle buddy is here!"  Rox snickers. Rose peaks her head out before stepping forward and revealing herself. I turn to Kanaya whose cheeks are flushed dark green. Dirk appears as well. He stays quiet. A comfortable quiet.

"Please, Join Us In The Green Room." Rose waves us over. We follow her inside the green room. Inside there is a table, vending machines, and couches to the right. To the left there is a cabinet probably full of supplies and tools. Then empty wall. Very creative design. I flop onto the couch.the cushions are so soft. I could fall asleep. I crawl over to the corner on the couch and curl up in a ball. Kanaya sits down next to me. Nepeta next to her. Kanaya rubs my arm lightly.

"So. Y'all wanna play a little game of never have I ever?" Rox offers. I shrug. So does Kanaya. 

"I'm down." Dave says. Rose nods. Dirk shrugs. We're all a little uncomfortable with each other. I sit up. Rox holds up a hand. We all do the same.

"I'll go first. Never have I ever... played guitar." Rox smiles devilishly. Dave, Rose, and Dirk put a finger down. Dirk clears his throat.

"Never have I ever been the main singer of a band." Dirk nudges Dave. Dave rolls his eyes and puts a finger down. Dave smirks.

"Fine then. Lets play targets. Never have I ever fucked a clown." Dave grins. Dirk puts his finger down. Awe shit I have to put my finger down. I put my thumb down. Everyone notices.

"You've fucked a clown?" Dave asks. I shrug.

"I WAS A VIRGIN TWO DAYS AGO." I let a small smile trace my lips. Rose snorts. Even Dirk manages to laugh. 

"OKAY OKAY. NEVER HAVE I EVER FUCKED A LALONDE." I muster. Kanaya's head snaps towards me. Her finger slowly going down. 

"Pffft wow Rose. Wow." Rox comments. He says sitting backwards on a chair. 

"You Masterbate Put Your Finger Down." Rose snaps at him. Rox looks down at the floor and puts finger down.

"Ahem, Never Have I Ever Fucked A Strider." Kanaya says. I put down my finger. Dave and Dirk both do the same (masterbation) Nepeta waves us to get our attention. She signs 'never have I ever spoken English' fair play. We all put a finger down. Rose is next.

"Never Have I Ever Liked A Man." Rose says. Oh damn. Everyone except Rose and Kanaya put a finger down. Dammit one more and I'm out. Dave is already out. 

After playing many rounds out never have I ever, we decided to chill. Dave is listening to music. Rose is showing Kanaya some weird ritual. Nepeta is jumping around with Rox. Dirk is on his phone. I'm the only one with nothing to do. I spectate the room as I plop myself on the couch. After I fail to find a comfortable position I end up sitting upside down. My blood rushes to my head but I don't focus on that. I just close my eyes relax. I block out the sound of Nepeta and Rox  doing cartwheels in the open space. I'm only interrupted by the couch cushions next to me sinking. My eyes flutter open as I see Dave sitting like me. His electric guitar propped up on the wall.

"What-up?" He says, smirking. I rolls my eyes and ignore him.

"How on earth do you sit like this? My legs are too long." He says adjust himself so that his legs go straight up. 

"YOU'RE GONNA FALL FORWARD." I say. He waves my statement off.

"No I'm n- ow" Dave falls forward and bumps his head on the floor. I chuckle as he rubs his head.
