No one can resist Striders

This chapter is really long!! Just a warning! :3

~Dave's POV~

My alarm woke me up in the morning, and it also woke Karkat up. I reached for my shades quickly and put them on, so Karkat wouldn't see my eyes. He seemed to be a bit disappointed when I put them on, as if he wanted to see my eyes. If he saw them though, he would immediately regret it. No one could love them. If he did see them, he would probably hate me. Then I'd have no chance with him.

Jesus.. I REALLY need to calm down. Like a lot.

Karkat rubbed his eyes and looked over at me.

"Morning, Strider.." I guess this time he remembered he came in here.

"Morning Kitkat." He growled, looking away.

"I told you to stop fucking calling me that."

"Did I ever say I would?" I smirked, and he just groaned, getting up. I followed him, and we headed to the living room for poptarts once again. We did the same thing as usual; he got two packs of poptarts, and handed me my favorite flavor. The couch was taken up completely by some project Bro was working on. I guess he started on it last night, because it wasn't here last time I was in here. So we both had to sit in the chair. I smiled a little at this.

"Hey, so we can't sit on the couch. You can sit on my lap in the chair though." Karkat just turned around with a look on his face that said, 'why this. Just why. Why me.' I laughed a little at him, sitting on the chair. He sat on my lap, and I pulled him close to me, smirking.

"Ey lil mama lemme whisper in your ear~" I said quietly, trying to hold back a laugh. He just sighed, looking over at me, and then shook his head. He looked back immediately, and continued eating his poptarts. I let out a laugh, eating mine as well. Once I was done, I held Karkat against me. He was just sort of surprised by this, and scrambled up. He was done with his as well. So I stood up then and took his wrapper, throwing them both in the trash. //Aka where we all belong-- iMSORRYIHADTODONTHURTME//

~Karkat's POV~

Dave had been acting kind of... Suspicious. Ever since we woke up, he seemed like he was making more of an effort to be around me. Almost as if he were.. Flushed.. Oh Gog. Oh Gog oh Gog oh Gog. Fuck. Shit. This is not fucking happening. Kill me.

Why Dave Strider of all people? Well I mean, he wasn't that bad, I guess.. He was kinda hot.. wAIT WHAT THE FUCK AM I SAYING??? I better not be falling for Dave Strider. I am NOT flushed for his amazing body, the things he does just to tease me, the way he's sweet when he wants to be, and.. Oh who the hell am I kidding. Fine. I'm flushed for him. I'd never admit it though, unless he admitted he was flushed first. I didn't want to be turned down, obviously. I may hint at it though, so he knows he can say it.. Ugh, I don't even know. Fuck this shit. Romance is too complicated for me right now...

After a while, I looked up at him, and he had his arm around me. Was he constantly trying to hint at the fact that he was flushed with all this..? And what about that kiss!? Oh Gog. Now that I look back on it, it seems like he's been hinting at it for a few weeks now.. That could explain the winky faces on the notes that Dave's Bro le-

"DAVE DID YOU-" Bro bursted in, then saw me.

Dave seemed a bit startled, as his Bro walked back where he came from. He motioned for Dave to follow him, and I got up so he could. He walked over and his Bro said something. Dave shook his head and said something back, and his Bro just nodded. They continued to talk back and forth for a few minutes until Dave looked over at me, and then came back over to me. I stood back up so he could sit down, and I sat on his lap again, this time sort of straddling him, and facing toward him. He looked over at his Bro and blushed a bit, groaning.

"What the hell Bro.." I heard him mutter, as I looked around at his Bro. He immediately put his hands down, and into his pockets. He pulled his shades down and winked at Dave. His eyes were a bright color, but I couldn't tell what color exactly from this distance. He just smirked then and walked away. Weird..

~Bro's POV~

I bursted through the door to see if my lil bro had gotten the guy yet, but noticed he was in there with him. So I motioned for Dave to come over, and he got up pretty quick.

"Lil bro, did you get him yet?" I smiled a bit at my question. He shook his head, and sighed.

"No, I'm kind of nervous.."

"Well, you don't have to worry about that. He'll probably want to know what we were talking about over here, and he'll probably even think you like him or something. And you just won't deny it." He seemed genuinely surprised by my advice.

"Wow.. Thanks. That's actually a pretty good idea." I just nodded.

"No problem, lil bro." We talked for a little while after that to make it so his little boyfriend got more interested. Then when he left to go sit down again, I smirked and did the motion with my hands.. I don't even know what to call it. But it basically means 'fuck him'. Or her. You get the point. He seemed to get a bit embarrassed by it, and when he friend looked over, I stopped, winked at Dave and his boyfriend, and left. I didn't particularly care if he saw my eyes. Dave was different though. He kind of hated his eyes.

~Karkat's POV again~

"What were you two talking about?"

"I don't have to tell you anything." Yep. He was hiding something.

"Well if you don't, I'll have to assume you've got a secret that I can't know about. Which you clearly do." I smirked, feeling somewhat powerful.

"And so what if I do?" Damn. He's good.

"So, that could mean, oh, I don't know, that you've got a flush crush on me?" I smirked more, as he just smiled, getting closer to my face.

"Again: and so what if I do?" I could feel his hot breath against my lips at this point, and my face went red. He really was flushed for me.

"Well maybe I do as well." He just smirked more, wrapping my legs around him.

"Then I guess you won't mind this." He kissed me deeply, his hand on my lower back, basically almost gripping my ass. His hand was that far down on my back. I kissed him back this time, after being shocked for about a second. Dave soon pulled away, probably looking into my eyes. Again, I couldn't tell because of the damn shades. I reached up to take them off and he held my hand in place.

"Nope. You're not taking those off. You can take something else off if you want though~" I just blushed and rolled my eyes, and he laughed.

"Well you are already straddling me like you're gonna fuck me." He chuckled and I blushed more.

"Jegus fuck." He just laughed at this, and held me close. He leaned in for another kiss and my cheeks heated up more, as I kissed him as well. After that I pulled away, and put both my hands on his shoulders, attempting to look into his eyes. I couldn't see them well though. I assumed he was doing the same. I heard his Bro doing something, so I turned around. He put his hands down once again, and his expression changed quickly.

"What the fuck was he doing?"

"He was cheering me on. Trying to make me feel like I had accomplished something." I just nodded, a hand on his shoulder. He smiled at me slightly.

"So.. Does this make us.. Matesprits..?" I asked sort of quietly.

"If that's how you feel about me, then yes. If not, then we could be kismesis.." I shook my head at this.

"No, I'm definitely more in the flushed quadrant..." Dave smiled at this and held me closer.

"Good.. I don't want you to hate me. I've had flushed feelings for you for a good while...."

"How long, exactly?" I pulled away from his grasp and tilted my head. He just rubbed the back of his neck, looking down.

"A few months, really... My Bro figured out a few weeks ago. He's been trying to help me out ever since. He was actually the one that turned the lights off. He was trying to give me a chance to kiss you." He smiled a bit, looking up at me.

"Wow... I've been flushed for you for a few days.." I lied to make him feel a bit better.

"Huh, I honestly had no idea... But then again, no one can resist Striders. Too bad we're all into guys." He laughed, kissing my cheek. I blushed a little and he smiled. He ran a hand through my hair, and I'm pretty damn sure he touched my horn on purpose. My face went red and I backed away.

"Strider, don't touch my fucking horns. And I swear to Gog if you do what you did last time, you are *not* going to have a good day," I said sternly. He was kinda surprised.

"Sorry. I'll try to avoid them, Kitkat." He just smirked, running his hand through my hair again, careful not to touch the horns this time. I just tried to ignore the nickname.

I started to purr quietly as he ran his hand through my hair, and he laughed a bit.

"Aww, you're so cute. You purr like a cat!" I just grumbled, and looked down, blushing. I didn't stop purring though. He stopped though, and he started to move. I got up so he could get out of the chair like I assumed he wanted. And sure enough, he got up. He kissed me deeply, running a hand through my hair, his other hand on my hip, pressing our bodies together. He pulled away quickly, and smirked. He went to the kitchen to get something, and came back with an apple juice and a Coke. He knew I took a liking to Coke, which I'm pretty sure is why he bought it at all. He handed me the Coke and smiled, opening his apple juice. I opened my Coke and took a drink, then looked up at Dave. He was honestly really hot. Even if he was just drinking fucking apple juice. What the hell.

I thought I could almost see his eye when he took a drink, because of my height. I was really small compared to him. He was around 6 feet tall (I'm sorry if you're used to different measurements!!), and I was about 4 foot 7 inches. Yeah, I was short. I'm not gonna deny it. It's kind of hard to deny it really.

But before I could see anything wrong with his eyes, his head was lowered again. I think he noticed me looking, because he didn't tip his head up again to drink the next time. And when he really needed to do so, he closed his eyes. I was sort of disappointed by this.

~Dave's POV~

I finally got Karkat Vantas. Finally. After weeks of trying, he's mine. Finally... But then again, I'll have to show him my eyes eventually... Not now though. I'll show him once I know he loves me, and not just for the person on the outside. Only when I trust him completely. And that would be soon, I hoped.

After a little while of just hanging around, Karkat ended up asleep in my lap. I smirked and decided to wake him up with a kiss, which, in retrospect, was probably a terrible idea.

I kissed him deeply and his eyes shot open, as he tried to sit up but sort of head butted me instead. So then my forehead hurt. I put my hand on the part that he hit and laughed.

"Geez, Karkat, I was just treating you like Sleeping Beauty." He just sighed, shaking his head.

"Sorry Strider. When people wake me up, it just doesn't go well." He actually looked genuinely sorry. Wow. That's a first.

"Eh, it's fine. I'll keep that in mind though. Mostly so I don't get punched or something." I laughed a bit and kissed him softly. He kissed back, the I pulled away and looked into his eyes. He probably would have done the same if it weren't for the shades.

After a good hour or two, I realized it was getting dark. Plus it was Sunday.

"Hey.. Do you need to get home? I could drive you there. Or you could stay over.." Karkat smiled at the idea of staying over again. I just laughed a bit.

"Well you *do* have some clothes you left here a few weeks ago. You could stay here again if you wanted.." He just nodded and hugged me.

"Alright, that sounds good.. I'll just let Sollux know, since he's my roommate now. I don't want him to get worried." I raised a brow it him as he said this.

"I thought your brother Kankri lived with you though..." He just shook his head at me.

"No, he lives with his matesprit, Cronus now. Sollux moved in with me when Kankri moved out." I nodded.

"Oh, okay then. That makes sense." Karkat just smiled at me, and I smiled back just a little.

So Karkat stayed in my bed again, sleeping peacefully under my arm.
