This is a fic based on Andrew Hussie's amazing web-comic called 'Homestuck' which he owns of course and not me. (I wouldn't be writing about my own stories if I did. Shit would be all kinds of cannon) It's both a story and a pesterchum conversation so please keep that in mind and enjoy~
. . .
Your name is Dave Strider and you just got home from the longest day of school ever. You're happy your older brother isn't home at the moment to bitch at you as you toss your backpack into a pile of plush rumps with a bit of a vengeance. Not that he should care so much about the disturbing puppets but whatever. It's cool and ironic… you guess. Point is, today sucked and your mood shows it. There's really only one person who can make the current mindset you're in any better so you head into your room to see if, by chance, she's on.
Well when you think about it, of course she's on. Around the only time she's not is if she's asleep. And, granted that is the case most of the time, even then her 'dream self' responds. Harley's just Harley like that. You give the mouse a jiggle before falling back in the computer chair and brush a few pieces of trash and Game Bro magazines onto the ground with your foot. Really gotta tell your bro that buying them just isn't ironic anymore. It's just lame now… When the monitor flickers back to life, you sit up more and log back in to PC. Sure enough, Harley's icon flash's online. Despite the shitty mood you're in, you double click her name and bring up a new conversation. Maybe it's the fact that the girl never seems to be upset, but she has a habit of making even you, Dave Strider, strike a smile now and then.
