not so easy to be afraid (when i'm with you) by PennamePersona for synoeketeMora

Summary
"Hey, Karkat.” You run a hand through your hair and slump down in one of the many chairs scattered around. “You having a great day too?”
Karkat huffs. “How’d you guess?”
Like he’s any more likely to have a good day than you are. You’re a couple of fucked up messes, barely able to spend time around other people without feeling like total failures. Maybe not the greatest basis for a relationship, but it’s been going pretty well.
He’s easier to be around than anybody else. He sees you, the real you, the one who doesn’t know how to handle the power nobody asked if you wanted, and even though it scares the shit out of you sometimes, it’s kind of nice.

Summary
You remember:
Lavender text saying are you sure you’re as masculine as you pretend to be, are you sure this isn’t performative, are you sure you don’t want something else
You remember:
Wishing and lying and repressing and denying and seeing skirts and dresses and wanting to not want to want them because daydreaming about flowing fabric swishing around your scabbed-up knees would be easier to push away than all the bullshit that’s not boy but not stereotypically girl enough to feel as wrong as you need it to.
You remember:
Not being the first of your tragicomedy crew to come out as something that scares you, but still feeling as alone as ever because you’re a fucking coward and no matter how much your sister likes girls, you aren’t ready to be one.

Summary
He sighs and comes a little closer to you. “Look, I don’t want to pressure you or anything like that. If you’re not comfortable—shut up, I’m not done—if you’re not comfortable, that’s fine. We can work up to it or never do it at all. But I…want this to be a relationship. A real one. If, um, you also do.”
He’s this mix of confident and shy that makes your heart swell about fifty sizes. Take that Grinch, your record got fuckin’ blasted by the sheer power of one angry dude saying he wants to be in a real ass relationship with his husband.
A real relationship that includes sex.

Summary
“Nice ring you have there.” She smirks. It’s playful, a joke instead of a real jab. You barely hold back your laughter. God, it’s so rare to have one over on her. You want to savor the experience.
“Thanks, my husband got it for me.” You manage to keep your voice even. “I think he got it from one of those little gumball machine things, but I’m not sure. I don’t remember what the inside of the chapel looked like, much less if there was a gachapon wall.”

Roxy nudges you playfully. “Now c’mon, gimme the deets! What made you late? Enquiring subscribers want to know.”
“My husband needed help assembling some shelves.” You shrug. “You know how it is. Motherfuckin’ IKEA shit always takes longer than you think it will.”
Roxy gives you an incredulous look. “What the fuck Dave! When did you get married?!”
…whoops.

Summary
“Why do you even want to?” You’re exhausted and part of you wants to just walk away from this and forget it ever happened. Talking to him is like having a series of heart palpitations, which sounds romantic unless you’ve actually experienced the sensation.
He shrugs, picks up his stupid appletini and then puts it back down. He takes a drink of the water you ordered for him instead. “I don’t wanna forget this. You. If we do something dumb like get married, that’ll force us to have a conversation in the morning instead of, like, sneaking away and avoiding all this.”

Summary
“Seriously though, do you want to?” Karkat hovers above you, balancing on his elbows. “Because I’m not trying to pressure you. It’s fine if you don’t, I probably should’ve asked or brought it up before now, it’s just been awhile and I—”
You lean up and kiss him. You intend for it to only be a quick peck to slow his brain down, but you can’t help lingering. He’s just so…ugh, the one time you want more words and you don’t have any. He just is, there’s so much to him and about him and you want more. You feel like such a greedy piece of shit sometimes, with all you want out of life, but Karkat keeps inviting you to take handfuls of him, and you want.
“Yeah,” You breathe, when you finally manage to pull back. “Let’s fuck, dude.”
Karkat blinks down at you and then collapses on top of you in cackling laughter.

Summary
He blinks once. Twice. His brow furrows in confusion, which you can empathize with pretty majorly at this point. He opens his mouth, closes it, and then opens it again. “You…okay, this might sound absolutely wack, and I swear I’m not trying to patronize you or anything, I just. Um. Karkat, you do know we’re dating, right?”
What.

“What are you even drawing on me, anyway?”
Dave just keeps smiling and shakes his head. “Nah dude, it’s gotta be a surprise. Don’t you know anything about grand romantic gestures?”
“Grand romantic gestures my ass,” You grumble. “I swear, if you’re drawing Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff on me right now, I’m going to shove your cape into the garbage chute.”

Summary
Huh. You’ve heard of adults doing the gym challenge, usually alongside some kind of research from the Pokemon Labs, but sometimes just for the hell of it. You’d never do it yourself, but…
Well. Fuck, maybe you would. You don’t know. You’re still learning who the fuck Dave Strider sans the outer defenses of childhood trauma even is. Maybe this insufferable prick is a competitive trainer.
The next words that come out of your mouth do so without any warning or consideration.
“Want some company?”

If My Heart Was a Home (You'd Still Have to Pay Your Half of the Rent) by PennamePersona

Summary
“So, I have an idea, not even a well-thought out one, but what the hell let’s just shoot from the hip and blurt out whatever the fuck we’re thinking.” Dave fidgets with the end of his sweatshirt sleeve and pointedly does not look at you. “What if we moved in together?”
He looks honest-to-God nervous. It’s sort of sweet, in a way you refuse to think about in any further detail.
“Clearly I’m fresh out of decent options. How bad could it be?”
The corner of his mouth twitches back up. “Just gonna tempt fate right out the gate there, huh?”
You roll your eyes. Pff. Yeah, like fate could throw you a curveball strong enough to actually knock you off your feet. Your life has been way too fucking weird to get that worked up about the idea of moving in with Dave Strider.

Summary
“What’d you see?” You ask it nonchalantly, like you’re not discussing the inevitable end of the world.
She laughs. “Pumpkins.”
“And pumpkins are bad?”
“Pumpkins aren’t bad,” Rose murmurs. “Being alone is bad.”
You don’t say that the child she’s seeing won’t be completely alone. You don’t point out that there will be those weird fuckin’ chess men around. You don’t talk about the contact that will somehow exist between her child and your own. You especially do not ever refer to them as your children.
“Is this why you didn’t want pumpkins at my goddamn Halloween party?” You ask instead.

Summary
“Dude, why’s your face so red?” Dave asks, and shit, fuck, of course he noticed. The motherfucker sounded more awkward than he has in a quarter sweep earlier, but he’s still observant enough to see the shit you don’t want him to notice because he wouldn’t be Dave Strider otherwise.
You’re fucked.
You can pretend you don’t know what that bristly tense feeling is all you want, but you actually do know yourself pretty well. You’ve watched a lot of romance movies. You meet up with Kanaya every other week to talk about the trashy romance novels you both love even though they’re objectively complete garbage. You have spent sweeps in your own head, examining every part of yourself that you hated, and even if you maybe hate yourself less now, you still know yourself more than well enough to know what this is.
None of that means you have any idea what to do about being this painfully attracted to Dave fucking Strider, though.
A gift for lielking for Homestuck Secret Santa 2020.

Summary
“I need your help.” Roxy says. It feels almost shameful to say, somehow.
“Of course.” Dave says, immediately. “You didn’t even need to ask. Or, well, I guess you did need to ask, or I wouldn’t have known that you needed anything at all, I just mean - ”
Or
Dave Strider is hardcore supportive of the people he cares about, and that absolutely, 100% includes his trans not-mom.
