Summary
“I think I’ve identified your problem,” Dave said. He’d taken up a spot at the back of the studio to sit, look pretty , and survey the damage. He made his way to Karkat in two long strides and settled his hands on Karkat’s hips. “You’re still too tight.”
“I’m sorry?” Karkat asked, scandalized, as Terezi snickered in the corner.
“Loosen up! It’s all in the hips, c’mon.” It had the exact opposite effect, as the atmosphere became tense, and maybe a little charged.
Dave subtly guided Karkat’s hips back and forth, before releasing him, walking over to his radio, changing the channel to something a little more scandalous and coming back.
“You’re treating this like something to memorize, it’s got to be something you feel.” Dave guided, in his usual laid back style, trying again to coax Karkat’s hips into something that resembled a natural movement. “Art ain’t about how you look.”
“I strongly disa-fucking-gree.”
Karkat hires Dave as a dance instructor before his wedding to Terezi. As fate would have it, Dave wrecks all their plans.

Summary
Karkat sang the last chorus all on his own. His stance grew tall. The line of his shoulder was wide and for a second you felt like he might grow wings. Vocally he'd already flown high above the audience. You couldn't lie, even from behind, he was beautiful like this.
You finished the song accompanying him with a final, "Am I trying too hard?"
The crowd roared, you assumed Feferi and Jade's influence on them was strong. Still, you threw yourself over your drumset and lifted Karkat off his feet in a hug. Normally he'd kick you and thrash out of your grip, but today he just beamed. Dave was scrambling up onto the stage and throwing himself into the huddle, both of you working to keep Karkat balanced despite your jarring height difference.
You swore you could feel your trajectory in the universe starting to shift.
A Humanstuck story about Sollux, Karkat, and Dave starting a band to escape the epic highs and lows of high school bullying. Roughly set in the late 90s/early 00s.
