VRISKA: Oh, Nic C8ge…… you’re so woooooooow!

It’s been exactly 8 hours, 8 minutes, and 8 seconds since you guys went to Vriska. How many movies was Nic Cage in?? Holy shit, man.

VRISKA: Shut up, Dave! I can hear you and Nepeta laughing.

DAVE: sorry man its just like holy shit man how havent you run out of nic flicks

DAVE: nick flicks sick tricks watch me go rappin all the big hits

DAVE: sweet shit aint shit nothin else to say on it

DAVE: because we gotta watch our buddie nic cage

NEPETA: :33< sw33t rhymes!

DAVE: you fuckin KNOW IT

VRISKA: Oh my godddddddd stop the vacil8tion and go to a pile or something! SOME of us wanna watch the films we put on!!!!!!!!

The two of you still, and you look to Nepeta, and the two of you come to a shared agreement to get the hell out of there before Vriska blows a gasket. Your hand firmly in hers, you let her drag you to your room for sweet beats o’clock.

Getting the hell out of there, you realise what she actually said, and you pause.

DAVE: man what the fuck did she mean by that

DAVE: we aint vacillating do you see even a lick of hate-boner coming your way?

DAVE: no you dont and thats what i fucking thought

Nepeta pauses. She sits down on your bed and stares at her shaky hands, clearly trying to figure out what to say.

NEPETA: :33< vacillation isnt

NEPETA: :33< it isnt *just* for going betw33n hate and pity

NEPETA: :33< vriska probably thought we were going betw33n pale and red

Oh, shit. Oh shit what the ever loving fuck can be said to that.

DAVE: oh well

DAVE: what does she know am i right or am i right?

She looks away, and she’s suddenly much greener than before.

NEPETA: :33< uh… um…

KARKAT: OH MY FUCK THIS IS TAKING TOO LONG.

DAVE: what the fuck karkat why are you in my room

KARKAT: THIS IS MY ROOM, YOU TWO PITY-FILLED QUADRANT VAGABONDS JUST DIDN’T FUCKING NOTICE BECAUSE I WAS OFF WITH THE MAYOR.

DAVE: oh yeah how is the mayor i havent seen him in like a week now

KARKAT: HE’S DOING GREAT ACTUALLY, UNLIKE ME, WHO HAS TO DEAL WITH YOU TWO *STILL BEING IN MY ROOM*

KARKAT: **AND STILL NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT THE OBVIOUS FLUSH CRUSHES THE TWO OF YOU HAVE**

Oh wow, is the room suddenly way hotter, or are you just a fucking weirdo for getting so stressed and sweaty all of a sudden?

DAVE: look man i dont know what the fuck youre on about

DAVE: but i dont have any sorta pity fuck crush on my girl pets ok

DAVE: the mere thought of that sort of bullshit assessment of my f33lings

DAVE: *feelings

DAVE: is gonna make me more neurotic than fucking serket

Karkat is quiet. That's not ever a good sign, and you swear you can feel his veins start to pop.

He opens his mouth, and begins to spill the longest rant you've ever heard from someone that isn't yourself, all about how badly you wanna mak on your Pets. As in the girl, reader-dude. Or girl. Or they. You don't know, this is just a shitty fourth wall break.

Before you know it, you're lying down in bed and staring up at the walls.

DAVE: im not

DAVE: im not into her am i?

Are you? You like her, you know you like her way more than almost everyone else. But you never really thought of it as something in the quadrants before.

Is she into you? She was blushing alot. Oh god, you can feel yourself heating up. How red was your face before? Karkat probably had a fucking field day with that.

Oh god. Why is it suddenly so hard to breath?

turntechGodhead [TG] began pestering tentacleTherapist [TT]!

TG: rose come help quick

TG: you know troll romance and shit

TG: please im gonna fucking

TG: come over asap

TT: I'm on my way? This is very sudden though. Is this about Nepeta?

TG: dude fucking.

TG: come on man

Rose is in your room now, and suddenly therapy at 3 am is the highlight of the day.

Not really though. Nepeta's still the fucking crem-de-la-crem of it.

DAVE: so basically

DAVE: i think there may be the slightest possibility

DAVE: of me being into nepeta

DAVE: got any ideas
