and here he comes like don juan

Summary:

And, so, a pair of young and naive fuckwits wander ever deeper into this massive catastrophe described as "adulthood."

OR... In which our protagonists are faced with everything from the most outrageous of dramas to the most mundane of fluff.

This is the sequel to holy shit we have quite possibly the most fuckin ridiculous love quadrilateral on our hands. Reading the first part of this series is not necessary but HIGHLY recommended. Although, admittedly, it's mostly really really long enemies-to-lovers fic.

Notes:

seriously you should probably read the first part of the series

Chapter 1: An Introduction

Notes:

(See the end of the chapter for notes.)

Chapter Text

Your name is Karkat Vantas, and you’ve been dating a certain jackass by the name of Dave Strider for… well… quite a while. You’ve built for yourself the first true and worthwhile relationship of your life, and it’s with the last person you would have ever expected.

So… Dave Strider…

What can you possibly say about Dave Strider?

Well, your first impression of him was lackluster. When you first met him, you’d thought of him in very simple, albeit politically incorrect, terms. He was a conceited jerk in a wheelchair. And the color of that damned chair was as garish as his personality. Bright red. Like his eyes and his dorm room bedding.

And, yet, over time, you somehow fell for him. You came to find his mannerisms and quirks endearing. Annoying, certainly, but endearing.

He’s not perfect, of course; no one is perfect. Absolutely no one is perfect. And Dave is no exception. He can be a pain in the ass. Still, you’re happy. You’re happy with the life you’ve made with him. You’re happy to sit with him for hours in the record store you helped him establish.

And, so far, you can’t find anything of note to regret. Sure, you’ve gotten yourself into a hole with his record store. Money is flying from your pocket like ice melts in the heat of summer. But, it doesn’t matter to you; if anything, your parents will help you out. After all, they’re pretty fond of Dave.

Of course, they’re not exactly enthusiastic about him. But, they like him enough.

 

 

On April 8th, the world dumped a massive, steaming pile of shit on you. By the time you and Dave woke, the news was already out. The parole hearing for Bro—the jackass whose toxic influence still taints Dave’s thoughts—was completed without his testimony. Bro was released. Even more disturbingly, those very crimes were dismissed. In fact, he wasn’t even paroled; no, he was straight up set free. The bastard is walking as free as schoolgirl, and he’s already starting to petition for Dave’s return.

By noon, you received a call from your parents. Apparently, Kankri had added fuel to the flames of their uncertainty. He’d persuaded them that their concerns about Dave were worthwhile.

And, from there, their decision was swift.

You’ve been cut from the family finances. Any support you received—anything to compensate for the deficits from the record store—was to be a thing of the distant past.

Now…

Now…?

What the fuck are you going to do now?
