Chapter 2
Karkat stepped into his room and slammed the door shut, breathing heavily. He had just barely escaped Terezi, who had been increasingly flirtatious as of late. Maybe this was some sort of zombie apocolypse in which everyone had suddenly developed a sickening obsession with Karkat. If that was the case, the disease was spreading.
Karkat made his way over to his computer after locking his door, and wasn't surprised to see that the other flirty troll had messaged him after Karkat had left. "CA: sleep tight! *heart*" the other troll had typed. Karkat felt his eye twitch as the small digital heart Eridan had sent him stared up at him. Seeing that the sea dweller was currently online, Karkat pounded in an angry response:
CG: ERIDAN, I STOP SENDING ME HEARTS AND TELLING ME TO HAVE SWEET DREAMS. I'M NOT FUCKING INTERESTED.
CA: i havvent done that stuff in ages kar get wwith the program

carinoGeneticist [CG] ceased trolling caligulasAquarium [CA] at 21:45
Karkat thrust against the back of his chair and stood up, masking his concern with annoyance. He quickly made his way to the computer lab, which was deserted, save for Eridan, who was at the moment attempting to lick the ceiling.
"JEGUS WHERE THE FUCK IS GAMZEE?" Karkat said to himself, and then paused for a second. "WAIT FUCK THAT, GAMZEE ISN'T GOING TO BE ANY FUCKING HELP."
Suddenly Eridan ceased moving and slowly turned his gaze towards Karkat, looking at him with an uneaven stare. He simply stood there for a minute before moaning, "kAaaR".
"WHAT."
"kAaaR I don't feel so gOooood"
Karkat glanced to the side in annoyance. "DAMN, AND I WAS ABOUT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF" he caught himself. "UH THE SITUATION… AND… OH HELL IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'LL REMEMBER THIS ANYWAY." Throwing caution to the winds, Karkat moved towards Eridan slightly, who was swaying on the spot.
"bLuhhh" Eridan groaned, trying to make sense of the whole thing. "wwHaaaT aAre yOu talkIn aBouuut"
Karkat didn't think Eridan would particularly mind the smaller-horned of the two taking advantage of him, in truth, he would probably have embraced it. However, any chance of anyone taking advantage of anyone else was promptly dismissed by what happened next.
"OH JEGUS, WAY TO KILL THE FUCKING MOMENT." Karkat shouted in disgust. "YOU JUST FUCKING THREW UP ON ME" Eridan payed no attention to Karkat as he was busy heaving his insides onto Karkat's front. "FUCK, NOW YOU SMELL LIKE SLIME AND VOMIT" Eridan groaned and gasped for air for a couple of minutes before moaning, "seahorsedaaaaaaaaad". Karkat eyed the pile of spew in repulsion. "I'M NOT FUCKING THAT." He then realized what he said and quickly reiterated, "FUCK, I MEAN TOUCHING" Eridan opened his eyes slightly and looked up at Karkat blearily, like one awakening from a deep sleep.
"kar…?" he asked.
"WHAT" Karkat glared at him.
"wwhat are you doin here…?"
"I CAME OVER TO MAKE SURE YOU DIDN'T CHOKE ON YOUR OWN VOMIT."
"…wwhat am i doin here?"
"VOMITING"
"oh cod" Eridan's gaze drifted down to Karkat's soiled clothes, as he struggled to understand what was going on. "wwhy are you covvered in that stuff"
"IT'S YOUR FUCKING VOMIT."
"…" Eridan's eyes widened as he finally begun to understand. "OH COD IM SORRY KAR" He cut his outburst short by slapping his hand to his head and wincing in pain. "…okay im gonna speak in lowwer case again i kinda havve a migraine" Karkat ignored this.
"YOU BETTER FUCKING BE." He raged at the sea dweller. "GO GET ONE OF EQUIUS'S TOWELS OR SOMETHING"
"owwwwwwwww" Eridan flinched at the pounding inside his head. "kar can you stop yellin please" He looked up at Karkat pleadingly. "just this once" He gave his best puppy-dog impression. "please?"
"FUCK NO."
"aaghhhhhhhh"
"AND MAKE SURE IT'S FUCKING CLEAN" Karkat continued, unsympathetic towards Eridan's plight. "I DON'T NEED SLIME VOMIT AND SWEAT ON ME."
"noooooo" Eridan groaned. "none of them are clean and my heads about to burstttttttt!"
Karkat felt concern gnaw at him despite his best efforts to push it away, and finally thought of one small favor that he would be willing to do to help.
"DO YOU NEED ME TO KISS IT?" He quickly realized his slip of the tongue, and reeled it back in. "I MEAN ICE IT"
Eridan opened one eye to stare at Karkat.
"kissin it is fine"
"ERIDAN, KISSING WAS NOT A FUCKING OPTION"
At this Eridan clutched his head in both hands and screwed his eyes shut.
"augh kar if youre gonna yell can you stand a little awway" He reopened his eyes slightly to look imploringly at Karkat. "i havve sensitive ears"
Karkat stared at Eridan increduously. "YOU ACTUALLY WANT ME TO GO FURTHER AWAY? SOMEONE CALL GAMZEE IT'S A FUCKING MIRACLE."
"ungh kar my head is a tree" Eridan said through gritted teeth. "and you are a lumberjack" He glared pointedly at Karkat. "do you appreciate the comparison"
"AREN'T LUMBERJACKS SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE..." Karkat mused, completely ignoring Eridan. "EQUIUS BUT IN PLAID?"
"...yeah actually i think so" Eridan said, ignoring the most recent barrage against his brain. "also theyre supposed to cross dress"
It was at this moment that Karkat realized that he had forgotten to lock his computer. The last time he had left his computer unlocked for more than a day, some asshole had gotten on his trollian, logged onto his account, changed the font color, and had decided to chat up his troll homies on Karkat's own, personal, private computer. "WAIT A SECOND. I'LL BE BACK."
"no i think lumber jacks are literally supposed to- hey wwait no dont leavve me" But Karkat had already gone, and Eridan was in no fit state to go after him. He was still staggering slightly, and his brain didn't seem to be working quite right.
"glub"
Well, as long as Karkat was gone, he might as well try to clean up this mess. It became evident soon enough though, that his brain most definitely was NOT working right. At first he just searched for a fresh towel, but found nothing of the sort. The assortment of items in the room was primarily made up of computers. So naturally, Eridan's first thought was that the blank white sheets on document-editing programs would probably work just like white sheets of paper, and thus experimented, trying to soak up the spew with a computer screen. Needless to say, this experiment ended in failure. He then proceeded to wonder if Nepeta's sugar cubes could perchance soak the bile up, and thus experimented. Needless to say, again, this one, too, ended in disaster. Eridan was now running out of ideas, and so when he saw the Tinkerbull plushie lying defensless and alone, his first thought was that it would be a wonderful barf-soaking-up sponge-like item! He was wrong. It wasn't.
"COD DAMMI-AUGH MY HEAD"
Just as Eridan was eying Mindfang's journal Karkat arrived, and the sight that met him was... interesting, to say the least.
"DID YOU JUST TRY TO MOP YOUR OWN PUKE UP WITH TAVROS'S TINKERBULL?"
Eridan's eyes immediatly snapped onto Karkat.
"uhhhh" He inched in front of the mess of vomit-soaked objects. "no"
Karkat just stared at him.
"YOU'RE GOING TO CAUSE HIM MENTAL SCARRING."
"it fell in" Eridan did his best to put on an innocent face, and failed miserably. "honest"
Karkat opted to ignore it all, and instead asked, "ARE YOU FEELING ANY BETTER?"
"a little" Eridan shrugged.
"CAN YOU GET BACK TO YOUR ROOM?"
Eridan's face fell at the mention of his room.
"...no..."
"FUCKING HELL ERIDAN." Karkat exclaimed.
"...im sorry kar i knoww im really pathetic..."
Karkat looked at Eridan in thought before saying, "IF YOU COME TO MINE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH TEREZI AND I."
Eridan tried not to make a ridiculously happy face, and thus ended up making a sort of lopsided, distraught-looking frown. Karkat just stared at him in trepidation for a moment.
"I DON'T FUCKING KNOW WHAT THAT FACE MEANS." He kept staring. "BUT IT'S FREAKING ME OUT."
"sorry" Eridan quickly stopped making the unsettling face. "it means nothin"
Karkat, again, decided to disregard it.
"SO YEAH, I DOUBT YOU WANT TO COME BACK TO MY ROOM." Eridan shifted uncomfortably.
"but my rooms under the sea"
"I'LL JUST LEAVE YOU HERE THEN." Karkat said, only half joking. Eridan did not pick up on the joke, and looked at Karkat with a mixture of fear and sadness.
"noooooooo" Eridan pleaded. "no dont leavve me here again kar..." Karkat did not respond immediately. "kar?"
"I'M TRYING TO THINK OF WHO'S ROOM YOU CAN STAY IN." Karkat replied, and added, "WHO'S NOT UNDER THE SEA."
"ill stay in yours kar its fine ill deal" Eridan said hastily.
"BUT TEREZI..." Karkat mumbled. "SHE'LL BE THERE..."
"wwhat" Eridan blinked. "its fine shes fine" He paused. Karkat stared at Eridan, meanwhile hosting a small war with his emotions. "er" Eridan couldn't stop the hopeful chime from invading his next statement, "unless fefs room is awhaleable"
"OK FINE. YOU FUCKING CALLED MY-" Karkat stopped dead in his tracks as Eridan's suggestion hit his ears. "OH I'LL GO SEE!" He made to walk off.
"no scratch that she hates me..." Eridan stared at the ground in defeat. "glub"
"OH... WELL FUCK THAT IDEA." Karkat said, and returned.
"wwhy"
"WELL YOU JUST SAID FEFERI FUCKING HATES YOU."
"yeah... glub" Eridan then looked back up at Karkat. "wwait i called your wwhat"
"NOTHING." Karkat used a level 5 subject change maneuver. "WHICH MEANS YOU'RE BACK TO MY ROOM..." He sighed. "WHICH DOESN'T ACTUALLY HAVE TEREZI IN IT."
"yup" Eridan said. "wwait wwhat"
"YOU FUCKING CALLED MY BLUFF."
"but" Eridan stared in confusion. "wwha..."
"I DON'T FUCKING WANT YOU IN MY ROOM ERIDAN."
Eridan looked at Karkat in what he hoped was an imploring way.
"but" he stammered. "but i dont havve anyone else to go to..."
"I'M NOT GOING TO FUCKING LEAVE YOU HERE." Karkat blinked. "UNLESS THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT."
"no i dont"
"JEGUS. FUCK. FINE." Karkat glared at no one in particular, as Eridan tilted his head to the side like a dog. "WAIT, YOU SEEM FINE NOW. YOU'RE STANDING. YOU CAN WALK TO YOU OWN FUCKING ROOM, ERIDAN!"
"kar im covvered in my owwn vvomit" Eridan widened his eyes in surprise at the sound that just escaped his mouth. "hehe" he snickered. "vvvvvvvvvvvvomit"
"YOU LIVE IN THE FUCKING WATER." Karkat said. "IT'LL COME OFF." He tapped his foot in annoyance. "ANYWAY. MY ROOM IS A FUCKING MESS. A DISASTER ZONE."
"ill deal wwith it!" Karkat just stared at him, trying to invent a new reason for Eridan to go back to his own room, and NOT go to Karkat's. Eridan looked at the shorter troll in disgruntlment. "...kar i" He hesitated. "hate the sea" Karkat's eyebrow rose in mild mockery.
"WHAT? WHY THE FUCK DO YOU LIVE THERE THEN?"
"cuz im a highb100d" Eridan said, then realized his mistake. "FUCK highblood cod dammit" He corrected. "and wwe havve fins and gills and its just the natural thing for us to do"
"DON'T YOU WISH DEATH UPON ALL LAND DWELLERS OR SOME SHIT THOUGH?"
"im not a land dwweller my rooms in the sea!" Eridan replied indignantly. "im just normallly not..." Karkat stared at him in befuddlment, expecting him to go on.
"NOT WHAT?"
Eridan simply stared at him, nonplussed.
"not in the sea kar."
"OH." Karkat said. "RIGHT."
Karkat could tell his reasons for having Eridan go somewhere else had diminished, and Eridan was gazing at him in anticipation. Finally Karkat gritted his teeth in defeat.
"FUCK FUCK FUCKITY FUCKING FUCK" He grimaced. "FINE YOU CAN STAY IN MY ROOM."
"yaaay!" Eridan threw his arms in the air, but when he saw the glare Karkat was giving him, he lowered them again. "er i mean good"
Karkat rolled his eyes and headed off in the direction of his room, with Eridan quick to follow. "thanks kar youre the best friend a guy who snorted slime could havve!"
Karkat glared through the corner of his eye. "DON'T TRY PULLING ANY OF YOUR WEIRD BULLSHIT THOUGH."
"wwhat wweird bullshit"
"THE HITTING ON ME AND FLIRTING."
"also howw come you told me ter wwas in your room?"
"NO." Karkat simply stated.
"no wwhat"
"I ALREADY FUCKING TOLD YOU, I DIDN'T WANT YOU IN MY ROOM." Karkat said as if telling a dog off. "NO FLIRTING ERIDAN."
"wwhat" Eridan appeared taken aback. "of course i wwont please kar wwould i evver do a thing like that"
Karkat simply stared at Eridan. "IT'S WHAT YOU DO BEST ERIDAN."
"...really?"
"I DON'T MEAN YOU DO IT WELL EITHER." Karkat hissed. "I MEAN IT'S ALL YOU EVER FUCKING DO."
"wwait so the thing i do best isnt evven done wwell?" Eridan slumped in what must have been a very well-rehearsed mope, and stared at the floor in dismay.
"ERIDAN, NOTHING YOU DO IS DONE WELL." Karkat paused. "EXCEPT YOUR HAIR."
An insta-transformation immediatly took place, and Eridan was grinning up at Karkat in a smile that could have given Terezi a run for her money.
"WHICH IS NOT SEXY." Karkat made sure to say. "BUT I ADMIT IT IS DONE WELL."
Eridan ignored the previous slights against his person and responded with, "thank you kar!"
The two trolls arrived at Karkat's room and entered through the door. Karkat had been thinking about getting Sollux and Equius to help him install a transportalizer so that only he could get into his quarters. That would at least solve the problem of that douchebag who kept using his computer. Actually, now that Karkat thought about it, it might not be a bad idea to make transportalizers for all of the trolls' rooms. But not now. Later.
Despite Karkat's claims of his room being a total mess, it was actually very neat and well kept. There was a single squishy grey couch in the center of it, with a purple recuperacoon off to the side, against a wall. There was a dresser with a sickle on top of it, a trash bin, and an ATH~ book set neatly beside a wooden box that rest in a crook of the room. There were two other doors besides the one they had entered through. Karkat closed the door behind them and turned to Eridan.
"JUST DON'T FUCKING TOUCH THE BOX IN THE CORNER." Karkat said.
Eridan stared at said box, which had a sickle carved into it, the words, "LOOK AND DIE FUCKASS" scrawled across one of its sides, a very angry face drawn in pencil, and a single heart, painted red, engraved into the center of a side. His curiosity was piqued.
"wwhats in the box in the corner"
Karkat hesitated for a moment. "IT'S NEPETA'S." He said. "YEAH."
Eridan raised an eyebrow at him. "wwhy is neps stuff in your room"
"UM." Karkat again paused briefly, before answering, "SHE LEFT IT"
"oh"
"IT'S HERS THOUGH. NOT MINE."
"uh huh" Eridan stared at Karkat skeptically. "wwhats in there"
"I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T FUCKING SEARCH OTHER PEOPLE'S SHIT. WHAT KIND OF WEIRDO DOES THAT?"
"uhhhh" Eridan pulled at his scarf, a bit nervously. "no one i wwould affiliate my self wwith ahaha..."
"EXACTLY."
An awkward silence settled over the room as both trolls tried to think of something to say. Eridan's eyes kept darting back to that acursed crate.
"the box kar"
"WHAT ABOUT IT?"
"kar im a vvery curious kinda guy" Eridan stated. "especially about that box"
"WELL TOO FUCKING BAD."
"so"
"SO?"
"so can wwe at least get it outta my line a sight?"
"IT'S IN A FUCKING CORNER." Karkat said in exasperation. "JUST KEEP YOUR BACK TO IT."
"...glub"
The silence settled again, leaving the two to stare at anything but each other.
"SO... UMM..."
"wwhere am i gonna sleep kar i only see one recuperacoon"
Karkat looked around the place, feeling awkward as he did so. He then remembered, "DIDN'T I MAKE IT REALLY FUCKING CLEAR THAT NO ONE IS TO SLEEP?"
"oh right" Eridan could think of nothing better to say, so he just said, "glub" before the silence overtook them again. Karkat and Eridan glanced around the room, looking for something to focus on, anything but each other. Karkat shuffled his feet and looked down at the floor, whereas Eridan went into his default mode and glubbed.
"JEGUS THIS IS SOME CRAZY FUCKING SEXUAL TENSION." Karkat blurted out. "I MEAN" He stared at Eridan. "THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT."
Eridan's expression changed from one of surprise to one of the suavest troll in town. "yes it is kar" he said. "vvery much so"
"YOU'RE MAKING IT WORSE ERIDAN."
"am i" He asked, nonchalantly. "okay im sorry"
"MAYBE ON YOUR END." Karkat continued. "BUT HERE, I'M ABOUT AS SEXUALLY FRUSTRATED AS..." Karkat trailed off, as Eridan waited expectantly for the end that never came.
"wwhat?" He urged.
"...I DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY THERE."
"youre about as sexually frustrated as" Eridan pondered. "wwhats the thing that has the most sexual troubles in history" (A/N: Answer: Eridan.)
"THAT'S WHAT I'M NOT AS SEXUALLY FRUSRATED AS." Karkat stated. "NOPE. I'M FUCKING TEREZI, REMEMBER?"
"oh right" Eridan frowned a bit. "glub..."
Scrambling for something, anything to talk about, Karkat ended up asking, "DO YOU LIKE... WANT SOMETHING TO DRINK?"
"uh wwhat do you havve"
"NOT MUCH OF ANYTHING, ACTUALLY"
"oh"
"SORRY."
"its okay"
"I WAS JUST TRYING TO MAKE CONVERSATION"
With that, the two stood in the uncomfortable quiet once again.
"wwell i knoww one thing thatd givve us somethin to stalk about" Eridan finally broke the silence. "talk oops"
"STALK? WHAT THE FUCK?" Karkat looked up, alarmed. "ERIDAN, DON'T FUCKING START."
"...start wwhat...?" Eridan asked, and then said in frustration, "i meant talk cod dammit"
"OK. FINE. WHAT IS IT?"
"wwell" Eridan said slowly. "i wwas thinkin wwe could" He eyed a patch of ceiling. "you knoww"
"NO, I DON'T. PLEASE, FUCKING ENLIGHTEN ME."
Eridan hesitated. "wwell its just that that fucking box is drivvin me crazy"
"OH JEGUS..." Karkat grumbled.
"it wwould at least make things less awwkwward" Eridan reasoned. "probably"
"NO. IT WOULDN'T." Karkat replied, shaking his head. "NOT AT ALL."
"but howw do you knoww"
"FUCK, UM" Karkat thought for a second. "BECAUSE THESE SORTS OF THINGS NEVER END WELL."
"i mean wwe wwont knoww unless wwe do it"
"YOU WON'T" Karkat said, then realized his error. "I MEAN"
"howw come nep wwas ovver here anywway" Eridan interjected.
"SHE WAS... ROLE PLAYING?"
"wwith you"
"UMM. SURE."
"wwwwwwwwait" Eridan said, realizing something. "kar"
"WHAT?"
"doesnt she havve a major crush on you"
"I GUESS THAT ANSWERS THE QUESTION OF WHY SHE WAS HERE."
Eridan stared at Karkat for a moment.
"wwhats in the box"
"I DON'T KNOW." Karkat sighed, and looked to the side in annoyance. "JEGUS."
"wwell then lets find out" With that Eridan walked over to the box before Karkat realized what had happened.
"...NO DON'T-"
But Karkat was too late. Eridan pushed off the lid of the box, and a flurry of crudely drawn pictures fluttered out. Most of them were of a certain troll with lightning bolt horns and a nubby-horned partner, although there were different pairings here and there.
"THAT'S NOT YOU." Karkat denied. "IT'S NOT. NOPE"
"uhhh" Eridan took some of the pictures in his hands. "kar"
"WHAT?"
"wwhat" Eridan tried to find words enough to form a sentence. "wwhat are you" He looked from picture to picture in shock. "i" He glanced back to another. "this is"
"IT'S NEPETA'S. LIKE I SAID. CRAZY TROLL, HUH?"
"oh uh right"
Karkat was currently failing miserably at covering up a blush.
"but i thought she shipped you and her"
"UM, WHY, WHO AM I SHIPPED WITH THERE?" Karkat tried to ask nonchalantly. "BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW."
"wwell" Eridan said, grinning, the initial shock wearing off. "apparently she ships you and me pretty glubbin hard"
"...IMAGINE THAT."
"oh yeah" Eridan said, his grin widening. "imagine that" He said. "yeah there are just tons an tons a pics here a me an you"
"THAT'S REALLY WEIRD. AND KIND OF FUCKED UP." Karkat said, trying his best to keep a poker face, but failing.
"oh i dont knoww" Eridan said, surveying the pictures as if he was a critic.
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT?"
"its not THAT glubbed up" He said. "i mean fucked up"
"MAYBE NOT FOR YOU" Karkat just stared with his eyes wide and his mouth a thin line across his face.
"huh" Eridan grinned over his shoulder at Karkat, his smirk widening every second.
"WAIT ERIDAN, HOW DO YOU EVEN KNOW THAT'S US? I MEAN IT COULD BE ANYONE WITH SEXY HAIR AND GLASSES."
"they havve our signs kar"
"BULLSHIT! YOU CAN'T EVEN READ THEIR SIGNS!" Karkat accused, forgetting that he wasn't supposed to know what the pictures looked like.
"and this one ovver here has you sayin 'OH YES ERIDAN I LOVE YOU TOO' "
Karkat paused, thinking of a response.
"MAYBE IT'S NOT ME." He said. "I MEAN DO I REALLY TALK LIKE THAT?"
"wwell im goin 'mmmm yes karat i lovvvve you sooooo much' " Eridan continued in a pleased tone. "so it could be possible shes shippin me wwith a karat."
"OH." Karkat looked down. "WELL... I GUESS SHE'S PRETTY OBSESSED WITH THIS PAIRING."
"and no you sound much cooler in real life" Eridan replied in response to Karkat's earlier question.
"WE SHOULD PUT THE PICTURES BACK IN THE BOX."
"yeah this box is full of them" Eridan ignored Karkat, who merely stared at the back of Eridan's head.
"and wwhat is this kan and ter?" Eridan held up a picture of Kanaya and Terezi having sloppy makeouts. "wwhat?"
"OK, WOW, THAT'S AN INTERESTING PAIRING." Karkat said. "TOTALLY POSSIBLE THOUGH. IF NEPETA DREW IT, IT'S POSSIBLE." He added, somewhat defensively. Eridan squinted his eyes and stared at the picture as if reading something from very far away.
"i guess i could see that" He remarked. "...oh wwait theres a feww of you in here wwith a human wwith glasses wwearing blue as wwell"
"I DON'T HAVE ANY FEELING TOWARDS HUMANS!" Karkat said hastilly. "AND NEPETA DID DRAW IT. IT WAS HER. I DON'T KNOW WHY SHE LEFT IT IN MY ROOM. LET'S PUT THEM BACK AND NEVER SPEAK OF THIS AGAIN."
"wwhat i dont get is wwhy there are none of you and her considerin that its her ot3 or wwhatevver" Eridan ignored Karkat's suggestion yet again, while at the same time misusing an internet abreviation.
"MAYBE SHE'S NOT AS OBSESSED WITH ME AS WE THOUGHT."
"yeah but theres like none" Eridan turned to look at Karkat. "isnt that wweird kar"
"MAYBE SHE DOESN'T LIKE DRAWING HERSELF."
"so completely uncharacteristic a her" Eridan continued. "almost like she didnt actually draww these"
"LET'S STOP ANALYZING THIS." Karkat said, desperately.
"and maybe someone else did" Eridan grinned and looked over his glasses at Karkat. "hmmmmm?"
"THAT'S A WEIRD IDEA."
"but wwhat do i knoww youre probably right" Eridan said, looking away from Karkat.
"THAT'S DEFINITELY NEPETA'S ART!" Karkat persisted.
"isnt hers more... wwell round"
"THAT'S FUCKING GOOD CRAYON WORK, WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!"
"i mean hers are more circular" Eridan said quickly.
"SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME ARTIST TO ME!"
"wweird huh"
"YEAH, NEPETA'S A WEIRD ONE. LET'S PUT HER SHIT AWAY."
"howw come youre so desperate to get this awway huh kar" Eridan inquired, turning to look at Karkat again, who was shifting his weight uncomfortably. "i think its pretty interestin" Eridan smiled just slightly. "to say the least"
"I..." Karkat fumbled around for an answer. "UH... I DON'T LIKE LOOKING AT PICTURES OF US. IT'S WEIRD."
"especially cuz shes so convvinced that wwe should havve a thing" Eridan raised an eybrow once more. "maybe theres somethin to that hmm?"
"...IT'S JUST A STUPID FANGIRL OBSESSION." Karkat mumbled.
"wwelp i guess youre right" Eridan promptly turned around and started putting the pictures back in the box.
"YES. YES I AM." Karkat said with relief.
"yep" Eridan continued. "probably no truth to these things at all" he placed another few in. "nope"
"YOU'RE RIGHT!" Karkat said. "THEY'RE COMPLETELY FALSE. I MEAN, I ALREADY SAID YOUR HAIR ISN'T SEXY." He paused and swayed a moment. "OH LOOK AT THAT I'VE GOTTA..."
Eridan, again, looked over his shoulder at Karkat who's eyes had become half-lidded.
"wwhatvve you gotta do"
Karkat just stood there for about a minute before Eridan said with some uncertainty, "...yes?"
And then Karkat crumpled to the floor. It would have been quite horrifying if it hadn't been for the monstrous snoring coming from the small troll.
"kar!" Eridan ran over to him, worried that he might have hurt himself when he fell. He wondered what had caused this sudden onsluaght of narcolepsy, and realized that Karkat had given the order not to sleep days ago, and that Karkat must have fought off sleep this whole time. Now that he thought about it, Eridan supposed that the bags under Karkat's eyes had been becoming more pronounced, and he had seemed more irratable as of late.
"youre not supposed to sleep kar" Eridan said, but then grew quiet. Karkat drooled a bit as he snored, and Eridan couldn't help but find the sleeping troll adorable. He gazed at him with a soft smile as Karkat's snores grew quieter. Eridan heaved with all his might to lift the small body, and carried him to the recuperacoon as best as he could. It wasn't that Karkat was heavy, it was more that Eridan was kind of an anti-Equius. He finally transported Karkat to the recuperacoon and proceeded to dump him inside as lovingly as possible, and discovered that it was nigh impossible to stuff someone into a recuperacoon lovingly. Eridan surveyed his handiwork.
"oh dear" He said out loud to himself. "noww his clothes havve gotten all dirty" Eridan sat there staring for a while, unsure of how to proceed. Karkat mumbled in his sleep a slurred, "ERIDAN...?" which startled Eridan out of his present issue. Karkat continued to snore.
"er" Eridan said, uncertainly. "yes, kar?"
It became clear after a while that Karkat wasn't actually waking up, but was simply having dreams of the sea dweller. Eridan allowed himself a smile as Karkat's snores grew quieter still.
"wwelp" He said. "i guess all thats left to do is..." and with that he sat down beside the recuperacoon, intending to stay awake and guard Karkat from unwanted visitors. A mumbled, "FUCK..." was heard from the recuperacoon, and Eridan looked at Karkat quizically. "i wwonder wwhat hes dreamin about..." A mumbled, "FUCKASS..." accompanied the previous bit soon after. "real life?" Karkat ceased mumbling and rolled over in the green goo sullying his clothes further. Eridan decided that something would have to be done about those before long, but for now, he rested his head against the side of the recuperacoon and muttered, "...g'night kar..." with a gentle smile.
