Red (Davekat)

All-Night RAGER

Screw school. Like, seriously, why do teachers think that it's necessary to pile on all the work when they know you basically have no time to finish it?!! Anywayyy... here's another chapter! There's a lot of perspective swaps... so be prepared for that. Also, I don't use Snapchat, but there is a reference to it. If I get something wrong about it, please no hate comments because I really don't give a flying fuck about your opinion...lol, I like how I write this like anyone actually reads it.

<You are now Dave Strider... Enjoy feeling the essence of cool while you can>

I had been driving for hours. At the risk of sounding like Karkat, this was absolute fucking bullshit. God, I was tired. It was now about nine-ish. I was really glad when Kanaya offered to drive the rest of the way... for two reasons. One, because I could finally sleep and not focus on the road, and two because I could sit with my adorable-ass lil' kitten.

Pulling over to the side of the empty road, I swapped seats with Kanaya. As soon as I sat down, Karkat looked up from his phone briefly, but then immediately looked back down as it pinged. This was funny. I chuckled internally as his cheeks flamed in anger. This was gonna be golden.

<Be the angry kitten, pissed at life>

I stared at the screen as I typed. Honestly, I really didn't know why I was writing this. I mean, people probably won't find this joke funny. It's pointless and just makes it glaringly obvious that I have writer's block. Also, the (nonexistent) readers just want to go back to the story. No one wants to look into my boring personal life. God, I'm a loser. I sighed as I got ready to finish the current sentence and change the perspective once again.

<Goddammit, just... be Karkat already>

My phone pinged for what must have been the millionth time. I groaned and swiped the notification away. Fucking Snapchat. I didn't even use the damn app. Terezi just wanted me to get it for... Gog knows what.

Dave got into the backseat with me. I looked at him and he smirked. The damn thing pinged again. I was going to flip my shit. It didn't help that I had to share this damned car with dumbass Ampora.

Looking down, I finally decided to see why the fuck my damn phone was blowing the fuck up. What I saw was... triggering. I couldn't really put it any other way.

Fucking... Pictures of me smiling of all things! Why did I agree to take these??? I scrolled though them. I stopped on one that caught my eye. Oh, right. Motherfucking gogdamned Strider. It was nothing special, but... Damn. As usual, Dave was smirking, but, I was under his arm and I looked flustered as hell. I remembered taking it.

It was about a week ago, and it took Nepeta, Dave, and Sollux an hour to get me to take the damn picture. I don't like cameras. They're stupid.

Growling low in my throat, I looked through the comments. The first one was from Terezi.

GC: 4WWWW KARKAT YOU'R3 SO CUT3!

No, no I'm not. Also, how THE FUCK could she see this?! Next was Nepeta... Wait... Nepeta??? Dammit Leijon.

AC: :33 < *AC is thinking that Dave and Karkitty would make the most purrfect coupawle!*

no. No. nO. NO! This is NOT okay! I'd read enough.

"DAVE! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO???" I whipped my head over to look at him.

He opened his mouth to say something, but ended up laughing like a maniac instead.

"I SWEAR TO GOG STRIDER, I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR DAMN ENTRAILS OUT AND STRANGLE YOU WITH THEM!"

"Whoa, bro, chill. It's no big deal. Just a prank."
