[The wait physically hurts, because--hell, did he fuck up, he always fucks up, he shouldn't have asked--but then. Then.
God, Terezi was way too right about the two of them. In how many ways are they this similar, and how many hasn't he noticed? When Karkat finally answers, Dave squeezes him gently, because right now, there's nothing he needs to protect more in this world than this dumb, idiot, precious troll.]
Yeah, all right. Me too. [After a pause, he rubs his head under Karkat's ear, like a cat.] Remind me once in a while. I'm a repetition learner.
[Okay. He's comfortable again, and Karkat is actually nice and warm. Not like Missy Elliott, but then again, Elliott can't hug, her little legs are too short. Dave makes a contented noise and just. Cuddles up.
Congratulations; Karkat has successfully unlocked Koala Mode. Dave's smiling slightly as he speaks again.]
You're like, supremely snugglable, did you know that? You might almost be as good at hugs as the Mayor.
