~=*FEELINGS*=~
Who: Jade Harley, Dave Strider, & Karkat Vantas
Where: Homestuck Haus in Goldenrod???
When: Mar 26 shortly after, uh, this.
Summary: Jade, Dave, and Karkat talk about feelings and shit, idefk, they're teenagers, it's hard and nobody understands.
Rating: PG-13 for probable swearing and SALACIOUS HAND-HOLDING.
[With how permanent a fixture the pile of pillows in Dave and Karkat's room has become, it doesn't take long to gather up an armful of the fluffy things and head over to Jade's, much as Karkat wishes there were a way he could senselessly delay. He doesn't dread the upcoming conversation, but god would it be nice to know what the hell he's supposed to say before barging in and initiating this overdue feelings jam. There's no sense in putting it off, though, nor is there any visible hesitation in him as he approaches her door, restlessly shifts the pillows around, and reaches out to knock. He's standing straight enough and facing forward, but whenever Jade does come over to answer, she may just notice his total inability to make eye contact.
He should have realized there was a problem sooner and done something about it. Some master of romance he is, especially after he and Jade had talked about this very issue (or something related to it). Yes, fine, they're doing something about it now, but that doesn't mean it'll be good enough. So.]
Hey, Jade? It's me. Are you, um... should I just come in or what?
[He totally isn't using the pillows as a shield against her imagined wrath and/or tears, haha, what, it's not like he's terrified of upsetting her or anything. Oh god, help.]

no subject
That makes me nervous too—not the three year thing, but the fact that you and Dave had so much history before I even entered the picture.
[He sneaks a glance at Dave, then focuses on Jade again.]
I had this moment—well, a lot of moments, back on the meteor, when I thought Dave would stop being friends with me when he met up with you guys because you'd known each other for so much longer. So, I get it. And, uh... you're still strong, you know. Maybe I've been building you up in my head, but I don't think it's all my imagination.
[He pauses for a moment before reluctantly continuing.]
I think we had a lot of misconceptions about each other. And I'm sorry I didn't do anything to fix that sooner.
