==== ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOUT HUGS

Karkat paused before shaking his head. "No..."

"Damn no wonder you're such a bitch." Dave shakes his head.

He growls and whacks a hand at Dave's face. "Stuff you!"

"Stuff me?" Dave chuckles, "Like Jade's grandpa?"

"You know what I mean!"

"I'm actually confused sorry dude?"

He huffed. "It was an insult, but since you can't understand that...~" He reached his hands up and grabbed onto Dave's shades by the rims so as not to smear the lenses as he pulled them off, holding them out of Dave's reach with a smirk.

Dave jerked to make grab for them around Karkat, "Ok no, what the fuck Vantas?"

He pulled the shades out of the way. "Nope!"

"Why, just why?"

"This is the only way I can actually get something through your think human cranium and get a reaction out of you!"

"Ok I reacted, I have officially lost my cool. Now give them back, Vantas, my fucking eyes hurt!" He grabs for them again, squinting hard.

Karkat again pulled them out of the way, slightly confused. "What's with your eyes? Why do they hurt?"

"They're sensitive to light, you colossal ass avalanche, now give them the FUCK. BACK."

He turned his head backwards, getting a glance at Dave's eyes before passing the shades back to their rightful owner. "Hmm, red, no wonder you like the colour."

"Shut up ok, that's not the reason," Dave shoves his glasses back on and grumbles.

Still looking at him. "Then why?"

"Because I just like the color. I don't like my eyes being all fucked up."

"You consider that fucked up? Does the colour affect your sensitivity to light?"

"Yeah but it's a human thing ok? Not something you have to deal with probably."

Karkat scoffs. "Trolls dislike bright lights, not as bright as I suspect you dislike, but we have sensitive eyes too. We find it easy to see in the dark."

"Good for fucking you." Dave snorts, "Haha I mean..."

Karkat smirks. Finally Dave messed up too. "Hmmmmmm~?"

Dave started snorting laughing into the back of Karkat's neck. "Wow ok this is your fault, now I'm doing it."

Karkat snickers. "No, it is your mind playing tricks with you now!"

"Nah dude fucking you is the last thing on my mind right now."

Karkat rolls his eyes. "Whatever..." Smirking still.

Dave's voice pans out, "Not to say it isn't on my mind, it's just at the end of the list."

He tilts his head back to Dave with a subtle smile. "Whatever you say then! But I think dying would be last on that list."

"I've already died a hundred times, it's no biggie," Dave says nonchalantly.

Karkat scoffs and rolls his head back to face forward, relaxing again but still blushing. "Of course you have, dead Daves are every-fucking-where these days, aren't they?"

"I swear I heard that as fucking everywhere and now I can't unsee all the Daves fucking each other. As if I haven't been traumatized enough."

"Can't stop thinking about it?" He smirks and lifts his hand up, just resting his fingers on Dave's glasses, frames to bother him.

Dave ignores this. "Yeah its way hotter than I could have ever imagined."

He twists his mouth to the side. "Try and think of something else?" He taps at the frames repeatedly.

"...Stop it."

Smirks. "Stop what?"

"Tapping my shades." Dave has to force himself not to make a 'tap that' joke.

"Why?" Continues tapping them, avoiding the lenses so as not to scratch them.

"My best friend gave me these."

"Egbert I am assuming?"

"Yeah. Don't fuck them up."

"Why do you think I am avoiding the lenses then? Why HAVE I avoided the lenses?"

"You're not as much of an asshole as you think you are?"

He scoffed. "I don't just go round breaking things that aren't mine now do I? I have some respect for people!"

"Yes thank you."

He smirks and releases his glasses, dropping his hands down. He could barely feel the itches now as he sighed and relaxed a bit, sagging down a bit closer to Dave without even caring.

Dave plopped his head down shades first onto Karkat's head after a while and sighed sleepily.

He smiled just a slight bit, enjoying being this close to Dave right now as he closed his eyes, relaxing.

Dave actually fuckin fell asleep after five more minutes of calm silence. Karkat soon followed after him.

Kanaya and Rose eventually came to see what had happened to Karkat and Dave and when the found the two this way, couldn't help but snicker to themselves and smile.

"I have never seen Karkat so calm before," Kanaya admits.

Rose nods. "This is an interesting development."

"We should leave them in peace."

Rose agrees, though she is mildly perturbed by the scene of violence very near to the two boys, the remains of Karkat's door.
