Summary: Karkat's wriggling day has arrived! Vanitas has things to spoil him with.
Rating: PG-13
Log:


[Vanitas may be forcibly making himself wake up early, but moving away from the warm person in his arms was another thing altogether. Being apart from Karkat for the last four days had really done nothing more than leave him with a few sleepless nights. Sure, Karkat put him to sleep that first night, but Vani didn't want to be so clingy that he got frustrated with a call every day. Breathing in deep and slowly starting to pry himself from the cuddling he got himself into, Vanitas tried not to move too much while slipping out of bed.

He has to make breakfast today, after all.

Not that it's much of a breakfast, when he does quietly return with a tray in his hands; it's just cereal and toast with a glass of orange juice and a mug of coffee with a hazelnut creamer on the side, but it'll be worth it when Karkat wakes up. Setting the tray on the bedside table, Vanitas leans down to lightly nudge his nose against his boyfriends forehead and give a soft press of his lips against the others skin.]

G'morning.

[papshooshing]

[ it's been rough going the last few days. so very, very rough. Karkat has been frazzled and stressed out to the max. Vanitas getting out of bed hadn't even been noticed. Karkat? out like a light. sleeping like a log.

Vanitas is met with a groan and a grouchy!kat turning over. sleep sounds so much better... and he's only half awake. ]

[shadowdive]

[Snorting and leaning again, he tucks his mouth near Karkat's ear, hands gently rubbing at his back.]

I learned how to make coffee.

[papshooshing]

[ if he could purr, he would be. but for now there's a little huff. a grunt. then a groan. slowly, Karkat starts rubbing his eyes. ]

Mrrr?

[shadowdive]

[Sitting back and lifting the mug, he pours some creamer in (not nearly as much as the first time he wanted coffee), and brings it over to waft near his face.]

Freshly made.

[papshooshing]

[ see this? it's the grabby hands of half awareness. reaching for the mug on instinct. ]

[shadowdive]

[He'll let him take it, cracking a smile again and leaning down to rub his nose into his hair.]

Happy wriggling day. I brought breakfast too when you feel like it.

[papshooshing]

Wriggling...?

Oh.

[ the light now goes on. Karkat understands what this is all about. come here Vanitas. Karkat wishes to lean against you while he munches. ]

[shadowdive]

[Chuckling, he settles down and lets him lean, more content with letting Karkat eat and just snuggling at his side.]

[papshooshing]

[ Karkat gives Vani a quick peck to the cheek. then starts to go at his meal before it can get soggy. ]

[shadowdive]

[That just makes him crack a wider smile, turning his head to duck it against Karkat's neck so as not to look so downright derpy.]

[papshooshing]

[ who is the derp here? it's probably Karkat. because he's mowing down on cereal like there's no tomorrow. ]

[shadowdive]

[It's kind of funny even.] Let me know if you want more.

[papshooshing]

You probably got shit planned. Wouldn't want to ruin appetite.

[shadowdive]

Mostly hanging out here and relaxing. I figured I'd take you out for lunch later and we could rent a game system and some games. [Nudging his nose against Karkat's temple, Vanitas gets up after a few minutes and crouches down to fish under the bed... that is a good sized box, crappily wrapped in green wrapping paper. Guess who had to learn by watching... yeah.]

Here, open this while I check on something.

[With that, he'll stand and slip out of the room for a few minutes. Inside the box are about six romcom movies! A few have probably been seen before; but there's that Princess Jigglypuff and Hero Pikachu movie. With it's sequel. Beneath the movies, there's a shirt folded inside some extra paper. On holding it up, it's a black long sleeved shirt with an angry looking Krabby on it, and "Don't make me mad, I pinch." written beneath it. The back has a Kingler with "CRABHAMMER" written across its larger claw.]

[papshooshing]

[ Karkat watches, pretty perplexed by the entire thing. quess who hasn't really had gifts before?

Karkat picks it up and moves it from side to side. he shakes it with a grunt. then he decides to just shred the paper. all teeth and everything too.

the romcommovies make him blink, actually surprised, though he shouldn't be. he reads through the descriptions, nodding in approval. and there's a laugh at the fact that stupid movie and it's sequel were there. ]

I can't believe it. You actually got this shit.

[ then the shirt. ....and just. sits there. staring at it. >| ]

[shadowdive]

[Karkat may be surprised that Vanitas can still poker face when buying those movies. The woman just looked at him funny but rang him up... and he just stood there. Staring. With his arms crossed, a line faced expression, and his cheeks heating up because NO HE IS NOT THINKING ABOUT HOW WEIRD IT IS TO BE BUYING THESE MOVIES UGH.

Either way, when he returns, Vanitas chuckles at that grumpy sort of face Karkat was wearing while holding the shirt.]

You can't say you don't like that, I thought it was hilarious! [Stepping in further and reaching with one hand to move the empty cereal bowl out of the way, Vani sets a little bouquet of flowers in his lap; it's made up of two honeysuckle plants, some purple lilacs, daisies, blue violets, several long stemmed grasses to simply counter out all those colors. Let's not forget the single rose stuck in the middle.]

I wasn't sure what else to get and a flower shop lady offered to show me some stuff.. she wrote what the flowers mean on a card. [Going to fish that little card out from amidst the violets.]

[papshooshing]

It's a horrid thing. You should be ashamed.

[ but he isn't tossing it away. just setting it aside. for apparently flowers. once again Karkat is surprised, not sure how to take this. flowers are more for human females, aren't they? at least he is sure they are. so why would Vanitas...

Karkat hunts down that card, reading off the meanings in his head. he supposes it's Vani's way of saying things he doesn't quite yet know how. that's the part that's kind of touching. but... ]

Am I supposed to eat them or some shit?

[shadowdive]

Smell them and keep them around until they start getting old, I guess. [Since he had one more thing behind his back, Vanitas plants a small box of triple chocolate fudge next to the flowers now.]

We'll take a flight for lunch and hit the Thai place in Ecruteak you like.

[papshooshing]

[ Karkat loves chocolate. he does. but this is... well. ]

Don't you think this is excessive?

[ because Wriggling Days, for Karkat, were never a celebration. this is completely flooring him. ]

[shadowdive]

No. [Leaning and setting his hands on the edge of the bed, Vanitas leans and gently bumps his forehead against Karkat's.]

[papshooshing]

[ at first, he can't looking Vanitas in the eye. Karkat's farr to embarrassed. far too unsure about all of this. it's not that he doesn't like the attention or that he doubts Vanitas' sincerity and intentions...

he looks up then, just kind of. bewildered. like it's hard to take in.

because it is. ]

[shadowdive]

[Setting into sitting so he can meet that gaze, Vanitas watches quietly, calmly, for a few moments. He lifts his hands to smooth them against Karkat's cheeks, before gently tugging them, unable to help cracking a derpy sort of smile.]

This is what celebrating your existence means. Don't look like that. [His tone is soft, and his eyes don't budge from the others.]

[papshooshing]

Wriggling Days usually meant a time to reflect on the failures of the past and the failures yet to come.

[ but oops. leaning in to give a kiss. ]

[shadowdive]

And that's why I'm changing it. My version is better.

[That kiss is happily accepted and returned gently, thumbs tracing back along his ears.]

[papshooshing]

How long have you been planning this, Vani?

[ reaching up to take those hands. to hold them. ]
