Chapter Text
Be John Egbert ===>
Your name is John Egbert and you're hanging out at your sort-of best friend Dave Strider's house. You say sort-of because right now you don't think that you and Dave are on the best of terms. Karkat, his boyfriend, tells you that Dave is uncomfortable around you right now because he thinks that you're dating his brother.
The thing is you kind of can't deny that suspicion...

flashback

You're walking down the hallway of Dave's apartment at two o'clock in the morning because you cannot seem to fall asleep and Dave is not helping. Of course that idiot has to ramble in his sleep just like he does in real life, and all he can seem to ramble about is that new kid Karkat. you're pretty sure that Dave likes him, it's obvious even for you!
You turn the corner of the hallway and start to walk towards the kitchen, but you're stopped in your tracks with the sight of Bro Strider sitting on the livingroom couch, shirtless, watching My Little Pony.
He notices you.
"Hey there shota, what're ya doin outta bed," he asks you with a decent southern drawl. He only seems to use it around you from some reason and you can't really figure out why.
"I...um-I couldn't sleep, Dave was mumbling," you answer him and scold yourself for stuttering. Damn now he's going to think you're uncool.
"Davey has always had that problem. How 'bout ya come and chill on the couch with me til ya feel sleepy?" He pats on the empty spot on the futon. You hesitate for a few seconds, but then decide to take him up on his offer.
You both watch as Rainbow Dash (you think that's her name?) practices flying, man is she fast. You get a bit engrossed in the show so you don't remember the moment when Bro put his arm over your shoulders until the episode is over and netflix loads the next one. You blush bright red but instead of asking him to move his arm you find yourself instinctively moving closer to his warmth.
By the end of the second episode your head is resting on his shoulder and his arm is around your waist, hand rubbing your side. You sigh contently and nuzzle you head against h- wait! What the fuck are you doing? This is Dave's big brother! Who is almost as old as your dad! But your brain isn't about to stop your body, which is now plastered against Bro's side, and he's not complaining.
In the middle of the third episode your eyes start to get droopy, and Bro notices, "Hey there, is someone gettin' tired," he whispers in your ear, "How 'bout we get ya to bed?" You shake your head at this question and snuggle closer to Bro, wrapping your arms around him.
"Wanna stay here," you mumble under your breath.
"Damn shota you are way to cute, so fuckin cute that it should be a crime. Here you are bein' all temptin', snugglin' up ta me like I'm the only thing between you and freezing ta death. But you really should be gettin' on to bed now." You must be pouting right now because he adds, "Hey, don't get me wrong, I'm totally all for this, but I don't know how comfortable you are-"
Before he can get another word in you crawl into his lap, straddling him, again 'what the fuck are you doing?!' your brain shouts at you, but you ignore it, "Who's to say that I'm not one hundred percent comfortable right here where I am now?" You wrap you arms around his neck and lean in a bit closer to has face.
At first he seems shocked, but quickly snaps out of it, wraps his arms around your waist and pulls you even closer, "Well then, ain't this a nice turn of events," he then grins, "If you're so comfortable right here, then you won't mind if I do this..." His lips are on yours. Holy. Fuck. Bro fucking Strider, the coolest older guy you know is fucking kissing you right now!
You don't object and he deepens it.

Thinking back on that makes you blush, you didn't get any sleep that night, and that's where things kind of began, that's where you started dating Bro Strider, and now Dave probably hates you. Man you're fucked unless you think of a way to figure this all out.
