The next morning the two lovebirds woke up around the same time. They were laying with their legs tangled into each other's, face to face and their arms around the others waist. They look each other in the eyes and Karkat was the first to break the silence "damn we're just so fucking cute I think I could start puking rainbows any fucking second now" Dave couldn't help but laugh over this sudden outburst from Karkat, but he could detect a little smile forming on his lips "yeah I know man, we're like the realities version of fucking Romeo and Juliet except the dying part, cause that would just not be cool y'know". Dave rolled over so that he was lying on his back and Karkat followed him, placing his head on Dave's chest. The sound of Dave heart beating at a faster pace made butterflies fly inside Karkat's stomach and he could feel his own heart beating faster and his ears and cheeks heating up. "So…" Dave broke out. Karkat raised his head to look Dave in the eyes "So what fuckass?" Dave could feel a lump growing in his throat and he swallowed hard. "So are we like an item now or are we just going to ignore that freaking subject dude?" Karkat grew completely red when he heard the words. He had been thinking about the same thing since they woke up that morning but had no idea to ask him. They laid there in silence for some time since Karkat had no idea what the fuck to reply. Of course he wanted to be an "item" but he was a bit afraid of Dave would suddenly tell him that everything had been due to the two of them being drunk and that he didn't really feel anything for him at all and that would just leave Karkat feeling like the biggest fucking dumbass in the entire universe for actually believing that what they had was actually real in some weird way. Finally he gained the courage to actually reply but he didn't dare to look Dave in the eyes while he gave him the reply "only if you fucking want to shithead" after he had spewed out the words he regretted not having said them in a bit more nicer way, but who was he trying to kid? This was just how they had always talked to each other.
Dave too was starting to become nervous and he was starting to fear that Karkat wasn't sincere in this at all. He dragged his body a bit upwards so that he could rest his back at the bare wall, which was surprisingly cold. Karkat looked up in surprise and he too sat up, dragging his ass to sit beside Dave.
He then cleared his throat "Listen, I really meant what I fucking said last night, I really am in fucking love with you and your fucking stupid 'ironic' personality or whatever. Cat's out of the fucking stinking bag okay, I'm fucking nervous" he didn't even dare to look at Dave, but Dave turned his head to look at Karkat, a little taken back at Karkat's words, he really did have his weird way of saying things. Dave grabbed Karkat's chin and turned his head towards his own and went a little closer to Karkat's face "I meant everything I said as well okay, and not in some silly ironic way, in a freaking honest to god way and I'm not trying to fool you or anything. I'm really putting my ass out on the freaking slippery ice here and a whole flock of buff ice hockey players are storming against me and I can't escape since my feet keep slipping away under me on the fucking ice man" Karkat gave him a questioning look "what the fuck is up with the hockey speech" "Look what I'm trying to say is… I got really surprised when I realized how I was feeling and I couldn't run away from the thoughts of you, it has to be you, and you have to be mine okay… And now I'm sounding really lame I know" He then turned his head to avoid Karkat's gaze. Karkat was red as a tomato now and this time it was him grabbing Dave's chin to turn his head and then he leaned in to give Dave a deep kiss. Dave played along and leaned in over Karkat forcing him to lie down again, he moved his lips down to his neck and then down to his collarbones nibbling at them. Karkat couldn't hold back small moans, but he just wasn't ready to go for another round, his ass was still fucking sore from the night before so he stopped Dave and told him so. Dave looked understanding at him and gave him a nod to show that it was okay, and he then placed another kiss on Karkat's lips, this time a soft and loving one.
The day for school had finally come again and Karkat and Dave had absolutely no intention of hiding their newfound love, they even held each other's hands as they walked to school but no one who noticed them seemed to be even the least bit surprised!
And that's how the rest of their school years went. They spent it together, enjoying each other's company, hanging out, playing games together and watching crappy sitcoms, which of cause was Karkat's wish but Dave got his turned to pick out what to do and that was mostly going to some concerts, but none of them complained when it was the others turn to pick out what to spend the Saturday evening on.
After they both graduated from college, they even decided to move together while both of them continued studying at different schools, but even after all of the years, they still stayed strong, and they didn't intend to leave each other in a long time.
