Adrift in the sky

- Coin flip -

Dave and Karkat sit in their living room, curtains pulled closed to hide themselves from the day’s sunlight. suddenly the dim lighting of the living room is broken by Jade swinging the front door wide open, spilling natural light into the room, Karkat flinching and hissing as the light hits him.

JADE: yo! come check this out, there's something weird in the sky

Dave and Karkat share a look before getting off the couch to follow Jade out the front door to see what she’s talking about, Karkat slightly more hesitant to go out into the daylight. Jade stands in front of them pointing up into the sky, Dave and Karkat stare up to where she’s pointing, Karkat cupping his hands over his eyes to shade them from the sun. They see a vaguely blue speck floating high in the sky amongst the clouds.

JADE: i havent flown up to check it out yet

DAVE: so what kinda guesses we got? more actual aliens swamp gas weather balloon

KARKAT: I THINK IT’S... IS THAT JOHN?

DAVE: shit really john?

JADE: whats John doing just floating around all the way over here? he can be so silly sometimes

DAVE: i dont know wait here im gonna go see what up with him

Dave flies up away from his and Karkat’s front lawn and up to John. John is floating in the sky in a laying down position zoned out facing up and his arms held behind his head. Dave rises up on John’s left and stops to be level with John, John shifting to a sat up position after seeing Dave.

DAVE: yo

JOHN: oh hey Dave, where’d you come from?

DAVE: dude youre like right above my house

JOHN: oh really? didn’t realise i’ve been floating around long enough to make it all the way to the troll kingdom.

DAVE: well yeah apparently you have so like whats up? whats got you fucked up this time?

JOHN: what are you talking about?

DAVE: oh come on i know whenever youre down you like to float up into the sky like a fucking piece of garbage though its rare you make it all the way over here so whatever it is bothering you now has to be bad

JOHN: ...

DAVE: is it terezi?

JOHN: WHAT!

DAVE: dude its not hard to figure out its only been like a day and a half since she moved out with vriska since she finally returned and then i find you in one of your biggest depression floats in a while if not ever its either that or youve started to hate another of your favorite childhood movies so which is it? your ex girlfriend or a shity movie?

JOHN: Terezi isn’t my ex, we weren’t dating.

DAVE: could have fooled me

JOHN: what?

DAVE: oh come on everyone knows you two are into each other i bet even you know that but have been too afraid to face it

JOHN: oh like you’re one to talk.

DAVE: what me and karkat? no its not- *cogh* dont change the topic dude all im saying is youve got it bad for a troll girl and now that shes not your roommate youre broken up inside more broke than whatever they broke when recording shity stock soundeffects

JOHN: ... like... what could i even do about it now anyway? i'm pretty sure her moving out was the when the window closed. i’m sure i just blew it.

DAVE: so you finally admit it?

JOHN: *sigh* yeah, i mean the reason im up here is cause i couldn’t stand to be in my house without her. like yeah she’s annoying and gets on my nerves, but i don’t think i ever really minded it, it was fun, in a weird way. compared to the empty feeling the house now has with her gone, i’d rather be with her.

DAVE: so go tell her

JOHN: huh?

DAVE: like i said everyone knows you two are into each other that does kinda imply everyone believes she has the hots for you too i don’t think that window is really closed like you say im sure shed be stoked to hear you like her calling you shity nicknames

JOHN: i don’t know, you really think?

DAVE: yeah you know if you dont youll just end up wondering what if bull shit the rest of your life

JOHN: ...

Terezi sits on the floor slumped over a coffee table propping her head up on her crossed arms and zoned out on a TV that's not even on. Vriska enters and lays out on the couch scrolling on her phone for a second before glancing over to Terezi.

VRISKA: Ugh........ What’s your deal? you’ve 8een all mopey since we got your stuff from Johns place, and you were so happy 8efore that. If I didn’t know 8etter I’d think you miss him

TEREZI: 3RR...

VRISKA: N8!!!!!!!! Really? what the hell happened here in the sweep I’ve 8een gone that you of all people would get this 8roken up over moving out from a dwee8 like John?

TEREZI: H3Y! D1NT YOU H4V3 4 CRUSH ON H1M WH3N YOU W3R3 L1K3 S1X SW33PS OLD?

VRISKA: Oh shut up. ........ So, it’s a crush? Damn, it’s worse than I thought.

VRISKA: 8ull shit!

TEREZI: >:?

VRISKA: He’s known a8out the quadrants long enough, sounds more like his weenie tendencies just ru88ed off on you after living with the dork for a sweep.

TEREZI: 1 4SSUR3 YOU, TH3R3 W4S NO W33N13 RUBB1NG OFF 1N TH4T SW33P W41T, FUCK YOU KNOW WH4T 1 M34NT!

TEREZI: 1 DONT KNOW, WOULD TH4T B3 OK SO SOON 4FT3R MOV1NG OUT?

VRISKA: How the hell would I know, I’m still new to this planet, I don’t know the customs for this stuff here. Hell, I 8arely knew them for Alternia.

Terezi tries to reply but before she can she’s interrupted by a knock at the front door. Both her and Vriska turn to stare at the door, Vriska then gets up and goes to answer the door. She opens the door to find an extremely nervous looking John.

VRISKA: Oh! Hi John.

Terezi scrambles to her feet, then takes a second to collect herself before walking over and standing just behind Vriska.

TEREZI: JOHN!

JOHN: hi Terezi, and uh Vriska... how are you?

TEREZI: UMM, GOOD, W3 W3R3 JUST UH, CH4TT1NG... 4BOUT UH, WH4T TO G3T FOR D1NN3R...

VRISKA: (Oh my god, you’re such a weenie)

TEREZI: (SHOOSH)

JOHN: oh, well then if i'm interrupting then i guess i’ll and talk to you later, sorry.

TEREZI: NO! 1 M34N, YOU DONT H4V3 TO GO, W3 C4N T4LK 4 B1T

JOHN: oh, well um, it was kinda something big i wanted to ask you, are you sure its fine?

VRISKA: God, John, just spit it out already before I choke on all this tension.

JOHN: oh um yeah, it’s just that i wanted to ask if i could maybe... move in with you two? ugh, im sorry, that sounds dumb now that i’ve actually said it, i’ll just go.

VRISKA: Hold up John. Why is it you wanna move in?

JOHN: umm... its, i hate how empty my house feels since Terezi moved out, and i realized, that i much rather live with Terezi and all her adorably annoying and weird tendencies than in a big empty house, that house just hasn’t felt like home since you left.

Terezi gets a soft smile on her face and steps towards John, John returns her soft smile with one of his own though still visibly nervous. Terezi then punches John in his shoulder and widening her grin.

JOHN: OW!

TEREZI: TH4TS FOR N34RLY L3TT1NG M3 G3T 4W4Y

Terezi then hugs John and buries her face into his chest, John’s back popping a bit from how tight the hug is. Johns nervousness melts away and returns the hug.

TEREZI: YOU C4N D3F1N4TLY MOV3 1N

VRISKA: Hey, I get a say too, it’s my place too you know. ........ Alright, fine, you can stay, far 8e it from me to deny this kismesis.

JOHN: oh, i didn’t plan this far ahead, are we like officially kismesis now?

TEREZI: DUMB 4SS! >:]

Terezi grabs the sides of John’s head and pulls him into a kiss.

VRISKA: Ugh, you guys are gonna make me 8arf.

TEREZI: DO3S TH4T 4NSW3R YOUR QU3ST1ON, JOHN?

John blushes and kisses her back, and starts using his god tier abilities to levitate the both of them as they kiss.

VRISKA: Alright you two, get inside 8efore we start getting onlookers. I’ll go order some food and give you two a little privacy. :::;)
