Going the Distance (Homestuck Fanfic)

Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
(Tavros can daydream all he wants, but surely his best friend will never share his feelings. Gamzee can either give in to the voices or drug up, and the voices whisper nothing but hatred at his true feeling.)
Engines pumping and thumping in time
(Jake has asked Dirk for a break, and Dirk isn't taking it too well. While Jake is away on an expedition, Dirk decides to take up racing.)
The green light flashes, the flags go up
(Sollux only wants him for his body, and Eridan is totally fine with that... Maybe...)
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
(Karkat totally, one-hundred percent hates Dave Strider and his perfect hair and his stoic expression and his wonderful face and his luscious, smooth lips... Total hatred.)
