Of Kingdoms and Dreams (30/36) – Pressures

Fandom: Homestuck
Pairing: John/Dave
Rating: Explicit

You think you’ve forgotten how to breathe.  Your heart’s stopped; your body numb.  Are you even holding onto Zillyhoo anymore?

“W-What?”

Jade sniffles through the speakers.  “Listen to me, you dumb fucking fuckass!  Dave’s gonna fucking die if we don’t do something about it!”

“How does it happen?”

“Does it fucking matter?!  You need to-”

“How does it happen, Jade?!”

She sniffles again.  “He’s gonna get stabbed.  By The Black King.  He won’t be able to convince him, John!  He won’t be able to-”

Something hits you in the head.  Wha?  You barely feel the pain as you drop to the floor.

Is this how it’s going to end?  Dave gets stabbed by The Black King, you and Rose get skewered by tentacles, while Jade gets arrested and sacrificed?

Game Over.  You’ve Lost.  No Restarts.
