You are currently sobbing heavily in the arms of your best friend and your boyfriend. In your defense, you just went through a scary as shit experience. The man you thought you would never have to see or deal with again just showed up at your door. You are so glad Dave showed up when he did. Speaking of which, what was he doing here. You calm yourself down enough to talk.
"D-dave wh-what are you d-doing here?" You say stuttering and hiccuping your through the simple question. Karkat's arms tighten in response.
"It dawned on me that it had been a while since we hung out. So I decided to come over and see as you clear your entire schedule for my ironically cool self." Dave says and you almost smile, but you're still too shaken up "I'm glad I came though. I can't believe that jackass had the balls to show up here. I want to go kill him. Are you okay, John?"
"Y-yeah I was just holding in a lot through all of that and it just all came out once he left. I'm glad you came when you did though, too." You say calming down a lot more and standing up on your own, now. Karkat keeps his arm on your waist, he doesn't trust you not to break down gain you think.
"THAT WAS DISTURBING. AS MUCH AS IT KILLS ME TO SAY THOUGH, I'M GLAD YOU WERE THERE STRIDER." Karkat says and you are genuinely surprised.
"Aw, Karkles. I knew you liked me." And Dave had to ruin it.
"DON'T GET USED TO IT FUCKASS." Dave just smirks. You are trying to figure out what to do now. You don't want to go out, but you don't want to keep talking. Oh! You have an idea!
"Hey guys. Why don't we just watch movies for the rest of the day?" Dave and Karkat look at you, than at each other. It looks like they are silently communicating. Eventually they both agree and let you pick the movies.
You immediately grab your collection of Nic Cage movies. You pop in Con Air and sit on the couch between Karkat and Dave. You curl into Karkat's side and he wraps his arms around you. Holding you tight to his side.
The three of you watch movies well into the night and all fall asleep together on the couch. Between Karkat and Dave, you almost feel safe. Almost. But then you remember Jake's promise to come back for you and sink into an uncomfortable, tortured sleep.
