more highschool au stuff, John and Vriska have a shitty teen relationship for a year and a half (starting at the end of freshmen year) with lots of weird, awkward pda and just general mehness cause Vriska is way too into herself to date anyone romantically. anyways it causes a ripple effect where Dave and Karkat spend more and more time together alone (another detail that builds into the slowburn) its also the start of Vriska’s davekat shipping.

Lastly even after a year and half John and Vris barely do anything besides some light kissing/hugging cause Vriska keeps inviting a certain friend to every single date they go on
