[More like fondlng inappropriately, but like fuck is Karkat making this distinction any clearer. And just. Ngh. If he were close enough, he'd be burying his face in Dave's neck right about now. He is close enough, actually, but they're busy and he'll stop blushing eventually, probably. Goddammit.
He's back to avoiding eye contact when Dave takes his hand, and all hopes of returning to a normal color evaporate when he shiversat the touch, his breath catching. He shouldn't be this sensitive, it's stupid, but G—that fucker had never touched him like this and he's still kind of emotional. How the fuck had Dave thought he'd suck at this, he's amazing.
It takes him longer than he cares to admit to muster a response, longer still before he can even move and oh my god it keeps happening. Is this what he'd been doing to Dave? Because if so, he can understand why he'd hidden under the blanket.]
You, uh. With Jade?
[Words are hard, shut up, and yeah, okay, he's definitely picturing the two of them cuddling and caressing each other's hair while they share their innermost secrets. He's incredibly fine with it, actually. What the fuck, he's not even interested in Jade in that quadrant, why.
He's also trying not to imagine all three of them in a pile together, but he's so far from successful it'll take fucking surgery to recover. Fuck, he's spending too much time around humans, they're gettting their weird pale promiscuity all over him.
To distract himself and just because, Karkat takes a moment to trace Dave's hairline and the ridge of his brow, his touch feather-light. It's still a novelty, seeing Dave without his shades, and even if he's sort of gotten used to his own vibrant red eyes, it's oddly fascinating to note the differences between them and his moirail's.]
I'm not going to make you give up Jade. What kind of asshole do you think I am? And if Rose ever shows up, or John, I won't make you stay away from them, either.
[He lowers his hand to Dave's for a reassuring squeeze.]
Trust me, I know your human single quadrant shenanigans are going to make things weird. Just... you know. [He tries a casual shrug.] If you ever change your mind about this moirallegiance, let me know before you... before whatever.
