The Warmth Behind The Cold

day with strider (chapter2)

TRIGGER WARNING: BAD LANGUAGE. AND SHITTY WRITING.

"no."

"COME ON U HAVE TO LOOK KAWAII."

"no."

"don't you want to impress Dave~??"

"NO."

"get some D."

"Claire stop."

"COME ON JUST PUT IT ON ____!!"

"will you fuCK OFF IF I DO!?"

Claire laughs and grins widely as she gives you the dress your going (being forced) to wear today. (The picture above)

Jegus how you hate the color pink. Your eyes hurt just looking at the monstrosity. Claire ,ofcourse, had really no sense of fashion. She asked her friend Kanaya to get a 'kawaii' dress, and with her persuasive ways she convinced her fashion forward friend to get you this.

Nonetheless you walk over to your bathroom to change. You walk out with a angry scowl, dresses were NOT your thing.

Claire shoves a picnic basket into your arms. "Human sandwiches, foods, and what not. Have some fucking fun! OH AND SAY YO TO DIRK IF YOU SEE HIM!" She says pushing you out of the house. You walk about 10 feet before realizing that she just kicked you out of your own house.

"CLAAAIRE!!!" You shout slamming the door open. "GET TH FUCKING HELL OUT OF MY HOUSE!"

~timeskip at the mall~

Well there he was. Dave strider waiting near the entrance. Oh sweet jegus you never thought about his reaction on your outfit.

You were thinking about absconding this whole situation before you see him look up from his phone.

Fak.

"H-hey asshole." You angrily mutter walking over to him.

He looks you up and down and clearly tries to hold in his laughter.

"Pffft What the fuck are you wearing?" He quirks an eyebrow at you.

"S-shut it. I just want to get this stupid shit over with already." You mutter grabbing his hand and dragging him to the movies. "I have better things to do rather than spend all day with you.." you mutter.

"Ok. And what kind 'better things' do you have to do?" He smirks down at you.

You sinks your nails into his palm with a glare. "None of your fucking business strider." You drop his hand harshly and stomp into the theater.

During the movie, you tried to conceal the tears forming in your eyes as the spouse lay in his death bed. You sit there staring intensely staring at the screen, you hardly notice Dave wiping your tear stained face with a napkin.

He was also surprised you doing strangle him, attempted to beat the remaining shit he has left, or kick the few centimeters of good ass kicking material he has in store. He thought it was cute how you acted tough, even though you're just a sheep in wolf's clothing.  He wondered why you would conceal yourself like that and build a barrier between you and reality.

He really only wanted to get to know you. He didn't understand why you acted so coldly towards everyone, him in specific.

"Hey ____ you.. ok?" Dave whisper yelled.

"GAAH YEAH WHY WOULDN'T I BE!" She shouted startled, you completely forgot Dave was even there, causing the entire movie theater to look your way in anger.

"SSSSHHHHH!!!"

You ignored the anger and flipped everyone off.

*timeskip at the park*

You and Dave were walking by a small river, looking for a place to have a picnic.

"Nice job getting us kicked out of the movies."

"Shut you fucking mouth." You growl at him "those basterds better think twice before-." You stop and your eyes widen. Did I just hear something coming from that tree.. you think looking at the tree that hovers over the river.

You hear a very quiet 'meow' making you stop in your tracks. Dave stops and looks back at you.

"Yo everything alright?" He asks in his usual monotone voice.

"Y-yeah.. everything's fine." You say catching up with him.

You get to the area wear you want to have your picnic, Dave sets the blanket down. You sit there uncomfortably for a while, looking off to the side with a frustrated expression.

Fuck.

After sitting there a while in awkward silence you get up.

"I need to go take care of something I'll be right back."  With that you rush off leaving a somewhat confused strider still sitting on the ground.

Dave's p.o.v

Where the hell does she think she's going, I think getting up and chasing after her.

After about a minute I ran back to the river with the big hella ironic tree hanging over it.

Where the fuck is she?

"____?" I call out for her. But I don't see anyone in sight. All I hear is rustling coming from the tree.

I look up and see ____ trying to rescue a stranded cat at the very top. My first instinct is to clean my glasses but I'm too cool for that. My second instinct is to shout at her for being a dumbass and telling her that I can see her underwear.

"Hey dumbass get down from there, I can see your panties!"

She looks down with a red face, either from embarrassment or anger, probably from both. She reaches out both hands and tries to help the cat.

"Here kitty.. I won't hurt yah. I'm here to help.. don't be scared." She envelopes the cat into her arms. Just as she's about to get down the tree starts shaking and the big limp she's crawling on snaps.

____ along with the cat and branch plummet into the water.

"Shit" I mumble angrily to myself.

I quickly take off my shirt and jump into the water after her.

Surprisingly the water reaches my knees.

Well fuck.

I look around and see a limp pink and purple figure floating near me. I pick her up and get out of the river.

"Dammit please be alright, please be alright, please be alright.." I mumble setting her down on the grass and fanning her face with her weird hat.

She starts shuffling, telling me that she was at least ALIVE. She hit her head pretty hard though. Dammit she's gonna kill me.

"Um h-hello..?" I look down at the supposedly unconscious body, only this time it was conscious. _____ was looking up at me with innocent eyes.

But something about her was different. Was it her (h/c) hair? Or her (e/c) eyes? No, what was it.

"Are you alright ____?"

"T-thats my name. H-how do you know my n-name?" She stuttered a little bit frightened.

Oh fuck don't tell me it's..

Amnesia.
