You and me we could write a black romance [ Closed ]

When; After this thread, probably ( August 7 )
Rating; K for kismesis ( swearing, violence, and hatesnogging )
Characters; Karkat Vantas and Dave Srider
Summary; Caught in a black romance
Log;

[ Cutting of Stider and being all apathetic in text is hard. it's hard and, well, he's only doing as his moirail instructed him to do. Karkat Vantas is still beautifully pissed at Strider and typing DAVE had made it all the worse. fuck Strider. fuck him sideways from the human conception of Hell and back.

so now Karkat is just sitting there. brooding. even his blackrom focused movie isn't even making him feel better.

today sucks. ]

[ yeah? if karkat honestly thought that was a good way to deal with dave strider he's got another thing coming. when does dave ever let sleeping dogs lie?

knock knock, douchebag. ]

[ Karkat is just following directions for a change. he hears the knock, looks over. frowns. ]

It's unlocked, fuckass.

[ shit, he probably should have tried that. totally nonchalant-like, stepping inside. no crossing the threshold here, just... leaning against the door.

soooo cooooool. ]

[ an eye twitch. everything just fucking hates him today...

he turns, trying to ignore Strider.

just going to watch his movie. ]

[ wow fuck you too buddy. it's hard to irritate someone who is totally zen. ]

Pretty shit hello, Vantas. Karkat. We on first name basis yet?

[ the fact that Strider is a troll IS NOT HELPING Karkat at all. what he wants to do is march over and punch the kid in the face.

but he won't.

because that's what he wants and Captor says that maybe Strider will go away and stop flirting with him. so he's still trying that. not looking directly AT him, helps. a little. ]

If you want to be, Dave.

[ okay, maybe that was a little antagonistic. ]

[ karkat don't you of all people know how troll anger works. it's at irritation now, an itch in the pit of his stomach.

shrug. whatever, he's too cool to let it show. ]

This feels like a step forward in our relationship, Karkat.

[ still. not. biting. maybe he's biting his lip, but that's all really. he's keeping his voice perfectly neutral. ]

We don't have one of those, Dave. Hell, we're not even friends.

[ pushing himself off the door, he flops down unceremoniously next to karkat on the couch. ]

You're breaking my fragile troll heart, Karkat.

[ rage urges. rising. need to punch, maim... rising. clenching his jaw just a little and...

tries to focus on his movie. doesn't help that the two trolls on screen are practically engaging in blackrom foreplay. ]

[ oh.

h e h. ]

What're you watching?

A movie, Dave. What does it look like?

[ sliiiightly strained. ]

Not that you'd understand it at all.

[ okay, good, he's starting to piss the kid off. finally. ]

Looks like two dudes punching the shit out of each other.

Wrong. The blueblood obviously isn't getting the greenblood's black advances.

[ okay. okay. if he focuses on the movie, then he won't get too pissed. ]

So the greenblood went and sabotaged the blueblood's laboratory. A cheap stunt, yeah, but it hurt his matesprit in the process. [ Karkat grins at this. ] THAT got his attention, for fucking sure.

[ squint. the scariest part is that he can actually wrap his head around the concept of troll romance, finally. ]

Troll movies are stupid.

So are human ones.

[ a shrug. gonna have to try harder, Strider. ]

[ ugh fuck you, vantas. ]

So I'm thinking of asking Terezi to be my matesprit. Thoughts?

She'll decline unless she wants to commit pity infidelity.

[ not even bothered. at least she's ingrained that one into his head. ]

Pyrope likes you, Dave, but she sure as fuck don't pity you.

[ fuck. dead end. sideways glare, this is so... infuriating. being a troll is fucking infuriating.

give him a minute he's out of ideas. ]

[ is that Karkat smirking? oh yes, yes it is. ]

Out of words to say already, Dave?

Weak.

[ claws curling into his palms. the fog of anger is hard to think through.

urge to punch karkat, rising. ]

Fuck you.

[ and Karkat is enjoying that. ]

Oh yeah. Brilliant comeback. I'm giving you silent applause over here.

[ nope, nope, nope. shit, he's not used to this. amplified feelings; it's giving him a headache. ]

Enjoy it while it lasts, windbag. I'll be back to normal tomorrow, if we're going by what happened last time.

Two victories in one day. I think I can fucking handle that.

[ snickering. ]

Not that you're going to get much out of me in the future anyway.

We'll fucking see. I'm sure I can make you crack.
