Karkat's POV

It was completely dark in Dave's room. I could feel him next to me. I sat up slowly. He sighed in his sleep and rolled over. I scooted off the bed slowly. I opened the door and walked down to the bathroom. I stopped in front of the door. The light was on and the shower was running. I knocked softly on the door. I heard Dirk from the other side tell me to come in. I opened the door and was greeted with a faceful of steam.

I walked over to the toilet and started to use the restroom.

"hey dude don't flush ill do it when I get out ok?" I blushed. This felt so wrong.

"okay"

"oh hey I thought you were Dave. Hes usually up this early"

"its 2 in the morning."

"yeah well he usually goes to bed at 2:30" he paused "oh and sorry for making assumptions that you were Japanese. You just looked it was all"

"I get that a lot my mom was from the Philippines so I kinda do."

"explains why your brother has curly hair then" I nodded, pretending that he could see me. I heard a noise.

"what was that?"

"what was what?" he was hiding something.

"that noise it sounded like a purr."

"we have a cat."

"no you don't."

"ow stop that!"

"im not doing anything"

"not you the cat"

"I don't think Jake likes being called a cat" I zipped up my pants and walked to the bathroom door. I put a hand on the doorknob.

"your brother dropped some clothes off. They're on the couch"

"thanks" I left the bathroom and went back to Dave's room.

I crawled onto the bed and pushed myself against Dave. He put his arms around me. He lazily kissed my forehead. And I fell asleep in his arms.

I woke up some time later. It was brighter and Dave was standing next to the bed. I rolled onto my stomach and pushed myself to sit on my legs. I could feel my stitches tugging at my skin and immediately sat in a different position. Dave put a hand on my head.

"were you watching me sleep?"

"would you be mad if I said yes?"

"no"

"then yes"

"that's borderline stalker, Dave"

"not if you're in my house"

"you mean apartment?"

"don't sass me. We have school to get ready for"

"don't remind me" I stood up and stretched out. "you know I hate school"

"yeah, well, who doesn't?"

"Terezi for one."

"well shes a dumb hoe anyways" I snort-laughed. I knew he was for real, but I couldn't help laughing.

I put a towel over my shoulder and walked to the bathroom giggling.
