John had this goofy smile on his face, the excitement in his eyes was exceedingly noticeable. "I can't wait," he says for the thirtieth time today, "This trip is going to be so fun!" You roll your eyes. "I'm aware of your excitement John." you retort. He looks at you and smiles with those buck teeth, Gog what a dork.
It was the first trip you were taking together since you became matesprites/partners/boyfriends, or whatever the hell you guys were referred to as. You were going to be meeting up with some of your old high school friends whom had moved all throughout the country. Once every few years everyone would get together and talk about "the good old days", which were honestly some of the worst years of your life. Your relationship with John was kept somewhat a secret, if someone asked, you'd reply with a "yeah we're dating", but other then that you had no interest in broadcasting your relationship to the whole universe. It was a pretty big deal that you two were going to the meetup as a couple, since last time the gang had seen either of you, John was spouting something like "I'm not a homosexual" or some shit like that.
You fling open the door to your closet, scanning the clothes hanging up on the pole. Your selection of what to pack was mostly limited to gray jeans, sweatpants, and sweaters of all sorts. Wrapping your arms over most of the clothing, you pull it out and waddle over to the bed. John chuckles as you fall over onto the pile after trying to put it down, causing a low growl to come from your throat. "You're too cute, Karkat." he says putting the last of his clothes into his bag. "Shut it, Egbert." you grunt.
John makes his way over to your side of the bed and wraps his arms around your body, his chest against your back. You feel your neck heat up and a blush crosses your tan skin; John gently kisses your neck, making your whole body illuminate a bright red. "Need any help?" he asks, moving up to your ear and giving it a light nibble. Jegus. "I am doing just fine on my own, thank you very much." You wiggle your arms free from his embrace and begin to fold and place your clothes into a suit case. As soon as you finish you turn back around to him, placing your head onto his chest. Despite John being a huge doofus, his hugs were always so comforting, it honestly made you a lot less crabby. Speaking of crabby, you unlatch yourself from your partner and head to the closet in hopes of finding your favorite sweater. You quickly change from your PJ shirt to a black sweater that read "A little crabby". John had bought you that sweater for you last christmas, you blush a little more, then turn to John.
"Ready?" You give him a rare smile
"Am I!" John gave you the goofy, full buck toothed smile of his, "Oh man Karkat, I can't wait for you to hear the playlist I made for the road trip!"
