Re: Unspoken Attraction (Dave/Karkat)

Well, Dave shouldn't have been surprised by this outcome, and he wasn't. It was just slight disappointment at best, though that had also been anticipated. Begrudgingly, he rolled over and gave Karkat the shoulder too, not wishing to tempt himself further with all of his out of whack libido flying all over the place. Just because you got someone in your bed for more than two nights in a row, doesn't mean you've been granted a golden ticket to dry hump them in their sleep. Very uncool, Dave. Very. Uncool.

After a few minutes of no contact, Karkat rolled back over, curling against Dave's back. His face nuzzled gently between Dave's shoulder blades and he made a sleepy little whine.

raunchyJanitor Sun Oct 02, 2011 3:44 am

Dave's hands slid under the pillow beneath his head and he pressed his back against Karkat's warmth, resisting the urge to reach out and hold him.

**solarOrigins** Sun Oct 02, 2011 3:59 am

Karkat made a noise that vibrated his chest, and one hand slipped around Dave hesitantly.

------------------------------

Karkat woke up feeling really warm, and comfortable. He was encircled in warmth, strong hands holding him gently. Karkat slowly opened his eyes, tilting his head gently so that he could see Dave's slumbering face. At some point in the night, they had moved so that Dave was holding Karkat, the troll's hands all but trapped between them and their legs somewhat tangled together.

Karkat watched Dave's face, relaxed in unconsciousness, and he felt his ~~blood pusher~~ heart beat a little faster in his chest as his face heated up. He must have been some kind of creeper to watch Dave sleep, so he shifted and tucked his head under Dave's chin again, just content to listen to him breathe.

As Dave began to wake up, his steady breathing pattern changed and his nose began nuzzling into Karkat's hair, taking a deep whiff of the faint scent of shampoo. His lips pressed against the strands of black locks, developing into a gentle smile at the soft feel before his eyes slowly began to open. As everything came back into focus, Dave looked down at his sleeping companion, only able to see more hair and the bright contrast of yellowish orange horns. He didn't want to wake him up as they were far too tangled up together for him to be able to move without possibly disturbing the troll's slumber. The only movement he made was his hand slowly reaching up and stroking Karkat's scalp, careful to avoid his horns.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 12:38 am

Karkat shifted gently when he felt Dave move, meaning to move away from him if he was waking up, but didn't get the chance as his hair was assaulted with the wonderful sensation of being petted. He immediately began purring deeply, shifting his head into Dave's touch and allowing his eyes to flicker open to half mast.

His legs curled where they were tangled with Dave's, wriggling slightly so that they were comfortable, and trapping Dave's legs by accident. His arms snaked around Dave where they could, pulling himself closer to the blonde.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:28 am

Dave hadn't realized that Karkat was awake until he was trapped in his arms. Well, not really trapped as he could very easily just pull out of them and free his legs from the troll's, but he simply didn't have the will to do it. He tried to ignore how very close their bodies were and how neither of them was actually asleep, maybe in a post-sleep haze at best, but still. He kept on petting Karkat, now with both hands as he enjoyed the gentle vibrations of purring being coaxed out of the troll. It seemed fitting that someone with 'kat' in their name would sound like a 'cat', even though it seemed more like a coincidence than something that had been done on purpose.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:41 am

Karkat tilted his head his back into Dave's hands, and baring his neck to Dave with a muted chirp. He wasn't paying much attention except to Dave's hands, and how nice the petting felt.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:50 am

Dave licked his lips at the sight of Karkat's neck exposed to him, contemplating over whether or not he should take a hold of this golden opportunity being presented before him. He shouldn't; they hadn't even kissed yet. That was far out of line, if not further than dry humping the troll in his sleep, which was just lame and stupid on his part. So he didn't, instead keeping up with his petting and loving the feel of how soft Karkat's hair was between his fingers.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 2:58 am

Karkat's eyes slipped the rest of the way shut and he squirmed. He struggled to get his legs free and push himself away from Dave a little bit. He wanted to roll over, so Dave could get at more of his head, but it was a lot harder to get untangled than it had been to get tangled in the first place. His face slipped into a scowl, then a look of surprise, accompanied by a sort of squawk, as he accidentally jerked them both off the bed.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:12 am

With the way Karkat had been struggling to get free, Dave assumed that he had done something wrong to upset the troll until his mind was very suddenly distracted by the fact that they were falling over the bed. This time it wasn't Dave who landed against the ground first, but the troll; though he couldn't say that he was thankful for the organic landing pad when he had no intention of crushing Karkat under him when he fell. "Woah-woah- hey, you alright?" He quickly propped himself up on his hands and knees over Karkat, worriedly looking over his horns and feeling around the back of Karkat's head for swelling. Fuckfuckfuck, he hoped Bro hadn't heard that.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:21 am

Karkat was dazed for a minute, seeing stars, before Dave's hands were on his head again. He purred, shifting and moving so he could at least try to sit up. He wanted Dave to pet him, to keep petting him and touching him like that; it felt much nicer than when anyone else did it.

And very luckily for Dave, Bro was at work.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:31 am

Dave let go of Karkat's head when the troll started to sit up, deciding that the purring was enough of a sign that nothing was seriously damaged. He chuckled as he slowly rose to his feet, offering a hand to Karkat, "I'll take that as a 'yes' then."

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:37 am

Rather than take Dave's hand to help himself up, Karkat pushed himself up into a sitting position, pushing his head into Dave's hand with a pathetically hopeful little noise. He really didn't want Dave to stop petting him, he was just in a kind of cuddly mood after yesterday's movie.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:59 am

The smile on Dave's face began to fade in surprise as Karkat put his head in his hand instead. He looked over his shoulder as if expecting someone to be watching them; one could never be too careful when sharing a household with someone like his brother. Finally deciding that it was safe to proceed, he turned his head back and continued petting Karkat as he had earlier, only keeping one hand idly by his side. Holding Karkat's head with both hands while he was level to Dave's crotch was a no-go. "You hungry?"

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:03 am

Karkat looked up at Dave with half lidded eyes. He shrugged after a moment, not necessarily hungry, but not not hungry either. He slowly rose to his feet, sighing softly when Dave's hand stopped petting him.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:21 am

Dave stepped back and headed over to his nightstand, slipping his shades on. "That's fine too; we can wait until you're hungry to go out for breakfast." He looked back at Karkat, suggesting as an alternative, "Unless you want me to bring it here? I don't mind either way."

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:25 am

Karkat made a soft noise that accompanied another shrug. He yawned slightly before moving out to the living room, to sit on the futon.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:40 am

Dave decided to ignore the indecisive shrugging and wandering off and shut the door to his room when Karkat left to change clothes. He didn't want to be in his pajamas all day; he felt way too much like a bum doing that. Also, he had work to do later at IHOP, but his shift didn't start until six, so they were good until then.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:07 pm

Karkat curled up on the empty futon, picking up the remote and starting to flip through channels boredly. He wasn't sure what to do for the day, but he wondered if Dave had something in mind for the two of them.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:40 pm

Dave emerged from his room, fully dressed, and walked into the living room, tapping Karkat on the shoulder. "Wanna go to the park today?" The Striders used go to the park to play on the playground all of the time before they had a television of their own. Their poker faces never broke when they were going down a slide much too big for them or mounting a pink dinosaur spring ride that would slump heavily to the side due to the over grown passengers boarding it. After all, breaking their nonchalant expressions would suggest that they enjoyed doing those things, which they only kind of did because it was ironic as all Hell.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:48 pm

Karkat made a face and shook his head. He didn't like going to places like parks because there were usually a lot of people, he didn't like kids, and it made him increasingly more nervous that something would go wrong with his disguise. He much preferred indoor activities, or outdoor activities that were in the Egbert's backyard which was secluded by a tall and thick hedge.

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 3:53 pm

Well, that was about as far as outdoor activities went that Dave could really afford for the time being, so he went for broke. "No? Alright, what did you want to do then?" Dave took a seat beside Karkat, leaning back and watching whatever the troll had the channel flipped to.

**solarOrigins** Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:00 pm

Karkat shifted so he could lean on Dave's shoulder with a little purr changing the channel again and again, until it came to rest on some thing the troll recognized. He dropped the remote in his lap and moved his hands to where Dave could see them and signed 'can we watch movies in here today'

raunchyJanitor Mon Oct 03, 2011 4:10 pm

It took a moment for Dave to remember the sign for 'movies' and he shrugged. "I don't see why not. We've got a ton of VHS tapes over there," he pointed in the general direction beside the TV where a miniature bookshelf held a long series of VHS cases.
