Summary

Contrary to popular belief, Dave Strider doesnt live in an apartment, but instead in a cozy, quaint family home smack dab in the middle of the suburbs and the city. The home (in which the new family had moved into) had some...construction problems, including placement of the structure itself. The house was placed too close to the property line, causing the roof of that house to touch the roof of the Strider household. This flaw in planning would spark a friendship. One all should envy. (No, seriously, its fucking great.

Chapter 3

The boy slowly opened his window, and climbed out. He had brought a blanket with him; you can't expect roofs to be comfortable. The boy, Karkat, avoided Dave's gaze, but instead stared up at the stars. Their houses were a few miles from the city, so no lights were interfering with the sky's glow.

"Hi...? Are we gonna talk or are you just gonna stare up at the sky?" Dave asked. Karkat's attention snapped back to Dave and his eyes widened. He muttered and apology, which Dave of course didn"t hear. "You're Kitkat, or something, right?"

"It's Karkat, buttface. And why do you want me out here? Never mind, don't answer that. I don't care."

Dave was a little surprised by Karkat. First, him and his brother had weird names. Second, Karkat was a little...abrasive? Dave wasn't sure. But he was sure of one thing-it was going to be fun teasing Karkat.
