Are you crying?

John's Pov-

        I had just gotten out of the shower when I heard sobs coming from the living room. "Dave?" I called, walking downstairs. I looked toward the living room. Dave sat on the couch, looking at his phone. I noticed tear marks on his face. "Dave? Are you crying?" He jumped a little bit. "No." He whipped his face on the sleeve of his hoodie. "Striders don't cry, dude." I shook my head and sat next to him. "Dude, Its okay to cry." He shook his head. "Striders don't. Never have. Never will." I wanted to mention that he was a Strider and that he was in fact crying. But I decided against it. " So if you're not crying, then what's wrong?" He opened his mouth to say something but was stopped when the only sound that came out was a sob. He was crying again. The tears flowed down his face like a waterfall. "Its Karkat. He's moving in three days. And I just love him so much, John. I don't know what to do." He said inbetween sobs. "Oh Dave. I'm so sorry." I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him into a hug. He didn't wrap his arms around me, but I knew he wanted to.
