Today marked three months after Dave and I's first kiss. At this point everyone knows we're a 'couple' but I'm still having issues with being so public. It's just weird, yunno? That coming from a troll with red blood. After being best friends for so long the only thing that changes once you're together is the fact you now can make out with them.
Tonight was date night as Strider likes to call it. It was the first time he'd actually planned something too, usually our outings are random and often. Tonight was supposed to be special. And with special means me having to dress up for him- only problem is that I don't have dress clothes. I could always go make some but... Why do that when your best friend is a complete fashion freak? I run to my bulky computer that was neatly sitting on my built in desk.
KANAYA. PLEASE ANSWER. I HAVE A FUCKING CRISIS.
Karkat, I'm Down The Hall. What Is So Important That You Can't Just Walk Here?
I NEED SOMETHING FANCY TO WEAR FOR A DATE WITH SHIT FACE. ALL I HAVE ARE HIS OVERSIZED SHIRTS AND WAY TOO MANY FUCKING SWEATERS.
Oh My, Why Didn't You Just Say That In The First Place? I'm On My Way With Three Options.
And in not even three minutes Maryam came crashing through my door with an arm full of clothes. Before I can say a word she begins to lay out these very fancy asshole outfits on my bed. They looked douchier than Dave himself- but if it made me attractive, who cares? Immediately she throws one off the bed. It was blue.
"I regret brining that one. I see now that it would flush you out- blue is not your color. Pick from these two."
"Whatever." I glance at the suits in front of me. One was all black with a grey bow tie and super fancy pants. The other one was a red button up dress shirt with black slacks and a black bow tie. I already knew what I wanted.
"So?"
"The red one."
"Marvelous choice!" She swipes the outfits I didn't like and starts heading out the door again. "Make sure your zipper is up, Karkat." I look down and sure enough a gaping hole to my crab boxers is showing through. Damnit!
I couldn't lie, I definitely looked fucking smoking in these pants. Even though I was so small I still managed to get pants that didn't sag to the floor. As I'm checking myself out in the mirror, I hear a knock. His knock. I run as fast as I can and take a deep breath before I fully open my metal door.
"Well damn Karks!" Dave says as he readjusts his shades. He looked good enough to eat. Whatever that meant. Do humans really eat each other? He was wearing an all black tux with a white bow tie. His hair like always was slicked to the side and his skin was perfect. I wanted to see him without the glasses but I knew he'd freak out if I tried to take them off in public. So I let it be.
"I hope I look okay..."
"Okay? You look damn hot. Hot enough to eat." See what I mean? Why does he want to eat me? I must've made the 'bitch what?' face because he smirks. "Good enough to eat means you look delicious. Not food wise."
"I'm not catching on Strider."
"Remember that thing humans do when they're really attracted to each other?"
"Kiss?" I could feel him roll his eyes. It was such a Dave thing to do.
"More than that. You seriously don't know?"
"...no?" He raises an eyebrow at me.
"Eh. Cool then."
"DAVE! What does it mean I'm good enough to eat??"
"I'll show you later." He lifts his shades to wink at me real quick before putting them back. I stubbornly sigh and take his hand.
"Where are we going?"
"Not far honestly."
He wasn't lying. I was kind of mad when he dragged me down the long halls and to a random door. This place had a lot of them too, just dark empty metal rooms with old furniture here and there. I let go of his hand and cross my arms.
"You said tonight was special. You think taking me to one of the meteors random ass rooms is special? Strider I oughta-"
"Shut up and look." I roll my eyes.
-----
When I opened the door for Karkat I could see his eyes light up. I had turned one of the now unused rooms into a lit up dining room. All along the walls and ceiling were tiny fairy lights, along with floating shelves that held red roses- our favorite color. The floor had a massive rug on it to cover up the dingy metal underneath it. In the middle of the room I decided to set up a small table with two chairs on each side. On the table I draped a red silk cloth over it and finished everything off with a vase. In it was another one of those special flowers I made Karkles. I scratched the back of my head in anticipation.
"So...?" Karks didn't say anything. He just stood there staring at it all. Why is keeping cool around him so hard? "Earth to Karkat. What do you think?"
"Dave I uh.. don't know what to say."
"Well that's a first." He growls yet there's a smile spread across his lips.
"Did you do this for me?"
"No I did it for the mayor." He now frowns and is about to start yelling at me, I can tell cause his eyebrow gets all twitchy. Before he does I pull him into a hug and chuckle. "Of course it's for you. I mean, I love you Karks."
"I love you too Strider. But I'm not going on this date with you until you take those stupid fucking glasses off." Once again I laugh at the tiny troll in front of me. Other than being with him, annoying him was my favorite thing in the universe. But tonight I was here to make him happy so I end up sliding my shades off and tucking them in my front pocket.
"Better?"
"Yes."
"Cool." I take his hand again and lead him inside shutting the door behind us. I pull out a chair and usher him to sit. Once he's tucked in I sit down and take in everything. The way his hair reflected the lights, the contrast of his grey skin next to the bright red everything. He was perfect. I realize I'd been dead silent when he taps my hand with those ridiculous claws.
"I know you were totally ignoring me just now, but I SAID you looked great." I smirk.
"Thanks but I wasn't ignoring you- I was appreciating how handsome you are." A light blush appears on his cheeks and he looks away. "You hungry?" He nods and I pull out my phone.
hey need you to come now with the food
You owe me after this. However I happen to find it quite adorable so I'm coming.
a simple 'yeah ok' sis
Be quiet you ass. I'm on the way.
I quickly shove it back in my pants pocket and look back to Karkitty. He was so cute. Nothing was better than this. His fangs were visible through his parted lips and his eyes were being lightly shadowed by his long eyelashes. I wanted to reach over and kiss him now, but I knew Rose would be here any second.
When she opened the door I didn't care enough to put back on my shades considering she'd already found out they were red from John Eggsuck. I just kept smiling.
"Dinner for two?" I hold up a finger and she neatly places our food down. It was chicken nuggets with fries. I tried, okay? There weren't many options out here. I settled for what I imagined was juicy chicken breast with a side of mashed potatoes. Karkat didn't seem to care.
"THANKS." Rose smiles at Karks and nods.
"Yeah, thanks." When she turns to me she rolls her eyes and quickly shuffles out. I knew I'd have to do some ridiculous task for her later.
We'd been chatting and eating the whole time. Mostly it was us making each other laugh or catching up from this week because I was so busy with setting all this up. I hear nothing new. After three months we'd just barely gotten over that awkward need of always having to be together 24/7 but it didn't matter. We ended up together anyways. With nothing to do, we practically lived together. Time didn't exist when I was with him. Which was great because when I'm not thinking about Karkat I'm thinking about all the shit we've been through and if we'll even make it off this meteor ever.
I didn't tell him this, but tonight I was planning on carrying through with 'showing' him what it meant to be hot enough to eat. It's been years since I've been laid- not like I'm thinking of hooking up with him because of that, but really I just think it's time. I don't know. I want him.

Dave and I were talking when Rose comes in and takes our finished dishes. As she's leaving she looks to Strider and winks. He tries to discreetly flip her off. I pretend to not see this and just focus on Dave's eyes. Was he planning something more? Ugh. I hate surprises.
"Aren't we supposed to tip her?" Dave laughs.
"Normally, yeah, you tip your waitress. But she's doing this for free cause I'm just so awesome." I grunt and shake my head.
"Will you walk me to my room?" Without a word Dave gets up and struts to my side. He takes my hand and helps me up, pushing in my chair for me all the while.
We're turning a corner when I notice his sunglasses are still off. I decide to not say anything about it in the hopes it stays that way. We've got our fingers intertwined and his thumb was rubbing the palm of my hand as we go. I loved these times with him, where he wasn't getting on my nerves.
"I had a lot of fun, Strider. We should do this more."
"I'm so glad you liked it. I worked hard on that shit." I smile as we come up on my door. He turns to face me and grabs my other hand, his bright red eyes flickering.
"I guess I'll see you tomorrow." I complain.
"Yeah..." he trails off in thought. He does it a lot.
"Love you, Strider." I get on my tippy toes and peck his cheek. He looks down with a sullen smile.
"I love you too Karks." He starts walking away and I watch him leave. Three more steps go by and he stops in his tracks. He mumbles to himself and spins around. "I can't do this anymore." He runs to me and grips me on my back. His lips connect to mine and I melt into his embrace. I've never felt him be so passionate. It was like a whole new side to him. We've kissed before plenty but usually he was just so calm and collected... now I could feel his heart beating out of his chest and his shaky hands. I pull away in thought. His eyes were wide; now a deep shade of red.
"Dave are you okay?" It's not that I didn't like this- it was just so out of character.
"I'm sorry. I just- I don't know how to say this."
"Damnit Dave what is it?" I was trying not to yell because it was late and sadly I've got trolls in rooms next to me. He bites his lip and I just stare at him in confusion. "You can tell me anything..." He quickly advances on me and plants his lips on mine again. I'm not gonna pull away this time. I mean I do enjoy this. His mouth travels down to my jaw and he slowly had pushed me up against the wall. One hand was propped up against it and the other was at the back of my head. He stops kissing me to whisper in my ear,
"I want you."
"What do you mean?" I whisper back. He tugs me closer and we're now completely touching. He nips at my neck and grips me tighter.
"Karkat-" he runs his fingers under my shirt and then his hand travels over my back. "Karkat." his voice was almost so soft I had to focus just to hear him. Once again he kisses at my neck and then his hand tugs me onto him where our zippers are touching. "Karkat I want YOU."
"Oh- OH!" I cover my mouth before I get loud.
"You don't have to. I just.."
"Me too."
"What?" He asks. I go back to whispering.
"I want you too." And I did. I didn't know that's what he meant earlier. But it all makes sense now. He grins and I kiss him.
"Mind if I come in?"
"Nope." And at this he pounces on me again. I wrap my hands around his neck and lean into his body. He easily gets my door open and swiftly gets me off my feet. As I continued to smooch all over his face he shuts my door and sets me down. Now I was walking backwards careful not to trip as I held onto Dave.
On the bed is where he really let everything out. He was sitting with his legs spread out and I was on my knees to match his height. He used one hand to keep himself from falling backwards and the other to grasp me all over my back. This was the furthest we'd ever go before we'd both get awkward and decide to quit. Not this time. I took off his shirt and marveled.
"Damnit Strider. Even your stomach is perfect."
"Heh." He sits up now and takes off my shirt. He groans and forces me down on my back, hovering over my chest leaving loose kisses here and there. We wanted each other bad. I didn't even know I had this side to me.
"Hey Dave?"
"Yeah?" I looked into those devilish red eyes. His voice was low and bold. It made me quiver.
"You're gonna take care of me right?"
"I'm gonna do more than that." At this I couldn't help but notice a hot feeling in my... pants? So this is what that felt like. My only knowledge of sex was from romcoms. And that didn't help much either considering I was a troll with a fucking tentacle. Oh no. That thing.. Dave is gonna freak out. I can feel myself start to trip when he unbuttons my pants. I guess I was pretty obvious too when he stops and sits up.
"Hey, we don't have to do this." I sigh.
"No- I mean, I do. Trust me, I just, you know..."
"Are you worried I'm gonna think it's weird?"
"Are you trying to tell me you're not?"
"I don't care what you have down there. I love you. I expect you to be weirded out by what I've got too. But we'll get used to it real fast." I grin. He always knew the right thing to say to calm me down. "Should I continue then?"
"Yes please."
-----
I woke up to the sound of loud snoring and a warm ball of Karkat cuddled into my side. I smirked remembering last night. That was the craziest, weirdest, and best sex I've ever had. He literally has a humans v- I stop myself. I try to roll over to grab my phone and fall off the bed with a loud thump. Karks jumped out of sleep and yelled before seeing me on the floor and laughed.
"Idiot! Are you okay?" I roll my eyes and get up. I forgot I was naked. Karkles coughs and looks away.
"Oops... yeah." I bend over and look for my underwear. Gone. Where did I throw them last night? With a little more searching I found them next to his bathroom door. I decide to walk in and check myself out. What I saw made me crack up too. My hair was absolutely fucked and there was red... substance all over my abs and manhood. I yawn and peek my head through the opening. Karkat was getting dressed and I noticed little hickies on his neck. I chuckled.
"What are you laughing at?"
"You've got some marks there, babe." He instantly puckers his lips and runs into the bathroom with me. His jaw drops open.
"Dave!" He whines.
"I'm sorry I couldn't help it!" He tries not to grin and hugs me from the side. I lift my arm up and wrap it around him.
"You've got some 'marks' too." I raise an eyebrow and then turn around. Holy hell. My back was lined with tons of tiny scratches and some deep ones scattered through out.
"It's those fucking claws."
"You didn't seem to mind last night."
"Well when you made those I was 7 inches deep in-"
"Be quiet Strider. Right now. Shut your human mouth." I laugh and peck his cheek.
"I need a shower. Your, whatever this is, is everywhere. It's like syrup."
"Well the more a troll releases it the less there is. And we're kinda supposed to save up to fill a pale..." I forgot they had that weird bucket thing for a queen. Kinda like bees.
"Yeah I get it. So if we did it now there would be a significant less amount?"
"Are you trying to say something?"
"I would totally stay for another round. But I promised Rose I'd go help her with whatever she needed, in pay for dinner." Karkat nodded.
"Well you're free to use my shower."
"Thanks."
"Uhuh." I give him a quick kiss before turning the water on. What did I do to deserve this?
AN::::::....
