Summary; dave goes to apologize. (i know)
Log;

[ he would never have come if john didn't tell him to. he's not the smooth, apologizing kind of guy; he doesn't apologize and he doesn't take things back. but he knows that doing nothing about this is definitely going to come back and bite him in the ass, judging by what sollux had told him about the things vriska was capable of. so whatever, he'll take one for the team this time. bite the bullet and all that.

he climbs the 4 floors between his apartment and vriska's with his hands buried deep in his pockets, closing around a small, silver key with a spider chain. no matter how he does this, it's going to be lame as fuck, he can tell.

knock knock, spiderbitch. ]

[She's not used to people actually knocking on her door, so she's a little surprised by it - it must not be anyone she knows all that well.

But when she opens the door, she definitely was not expecting Dave Strider. There's a momentary panic- does he know about the fight? But it quickly passes, and she just frowns at him.]

Wow. I never expected to see you at my hive. What, do you need to use the alchemiter or something??

Why the fuck would I need to— [ no, strider. you're here to make amends. you are not here to antagonize.

he sighs, fingers tracing the outline of the key in his pocket. ] I don't like you. I've never really liked you, because you're a total bitch to my platonic soul sis and apparently you killed a whole bunch of people—but whatever, I'm not here to judge you about that because I don't really give a fuck. You're John's—I don't even know. John likes you, obviously. He's my best bro, and things being tense between us'll make him feel like he's done something wrong, because he's a good kid and looking out for people is what he does. And I like him more than I dislike you, so.

[Just. Staring. What the fuck?]

Okaaaaaaaay? What the hell are you trying to get at? Did you come up here just to tell me you'll tolerate me because John likes me or something?

[Pause.]

Wait. So he likes me?

[ very flatly: ] Yes, that is exactly all I came up here to say.

[ he pulls out the key, letting it hang from one of his fingers. ] This is why I came up here. This is a key to our apartment. I swept John away in all of my infinite coolness without even asking you, so this is permission to make my life hell.

[Now that does surprise her. She's not expecting it at all, but she takes it anyway, staring down at it.

Wow, guess who feel like a complete bitch for using Dave to antagonize Terezi the night before. She tries to ignore the nagging guilt, stuffing the key in her pocket.]

Don't flatter yourself, Dave. Bugging you will be the last thing on my mind when I visit John. You must have me confused with Terezi and her ridiculous obsession with you.

...I guess I should probably say thanks.

[...:T this is hard]

You don't have to say thanks. [ technically he hasn't said sorry, either. ] If you're gonna pull some freaky alien sex show though, let me know so I can get the fuck out of there.

[It's not that she wants to say thank you. John would want her to, because she's trying to make amends with everyone.

sdfkds oh my god, trying to fight back a blush. THIS IS SO INAPPROPRIATE, DAVE.]

Oh my gog, you're disgusting! I don't know how Pyrope even puts up with you!

[ hahahahahaha, mission accomplished. let it never be said that dave takes anything seriously. ever.

that's all he came to do, so with a half-wave he starts off down the hallway again. ] This makes us even, deal? A truce, for John's sake. Maybe you could lay off my moirail, too, but I haven't got my hopes up for that.

Terezi and I have been like that a lot longer than she's know you, so not a chance!

But whatever, we're even I guess.

[Poking her head out into the hall after a second of contemplation.]

And I suppoooooooose, if you ever need to use the alchemiter you can.
