It's Karkat's birthday once more; the trolls had taken some to the human time keeping system. Dave had a day all planned out; one that he knew he would hate with a passion, but Karkat would love. He went to their favorite common room, put on Karkat's favorite music, troll Mozart; a little different from human Mozart, but close enough that it was still considered classical music to the human. He had Karkat's favorite food, cotton candy and cheesy popcorn. Dave remembered when he first introduced his boyfriend to the latter. The troll was convinced that it would be the most replusive thing he ever tasted; an hour later the bag was gone.

Dave decorated the couch with pillows; as Karkat had taken to placing a pillow behind his back whenever they settled in for a movie; and boy did Dave have movies for him. Twilight, My Best Friend's Girl, and Good Luck Chuck; the three movies he dreaded and hated with a passion. He hated them so much he refused to watch them with Karkat; even though the troll insisted he should give them a chance. Well, today he would. Karkat never asked him again about the issues he was having; he respected Dave's space, he didn't even question the odd nights when Dave still had nightmares. They were far less frequent, but still, every time he woke up the troll was cooing and rubbing his back; comforting him. God, Dave loved him so much; so for this one day, Dave would undergo mental torture for his dearest.

Karkat arrived shortly after Dave set-up. Surprised and delighted by the food and the set-up. Dave apologized that they had to use the husktop, but Karkat just kissed away the apology. No one could have known that Gamzee would challenge Vriska and Terezi while they indulged in their (then secret) guilty pleasure of the Gilmore Girls. No one knew it was even possible to cut a tv that big in half.

Dave led Karkat to the couch, showing him the movies they would watch. Karkat's eyes lit up with excitement "Really?!"

"Yeah, just this once though."

Karkat pulled the human into a kiss, deep and loving and meaningful. It became slightly sloppy and when hands started to roam, the troll pulled away. He enjoyed kissing Dave he really did, but he would probably never get a chance to watch these movies with him again; Dave was stubborn that way. So, he wanted to make the most of it. They settled in, Dave with his arms around his matesprit, a slight nuzzle into his neck…to help obscure his vision of the screen. Karkat slightly clinging to him, hand absentmindedly caressing the pale arm that held him.

Dave had managed to make it through Twilight without much fuss, the baseball seen helped. Yeah, it was kind of stupid, but at least it was visually interesting to watch…unlike the rest of the movie. My Best Friend's Girl was a little more difficult. Dave really fucking hated Dane Cook. He found everything about the guy annoying, his face, his expressions, his voices, his mannerisms, everything. He wasn't even funny and that's his JOB. Still, he made it almost all the way through without complaint…then came one of the final scenes. Alexis storms up to Tank on a date and they start hurling insults at each other. It was just so stupid that Dave couldn't help but voice his opinion. As soon as the words came out of his mouth though he regretted it, this was Karkat's birthday; he shouldn't complain. "Sorry"

Karkat smirked at him as the movie ended. "It's fine, you've made it longer without talking that I ever thought possible for you." Karkat turned Dave face to look at him and kissed the human. "We're still watching Good Luck Chuck though."

Dave laughed, "of course, it's your birthday, anything you want Kitkat."

"However, while you have to be here for it, you can ignore it if you want." Karkat handed him a book.

Dave shook his head. "No, I'm going to watch it for you, even if it make my stomach churn. You've asked me for a while to watch these movies, the least I can do is give them a shot."

"Well, remember it's an option, Davey."

Dave survived the first few scenes without pain; but then Cook's ugly face was on the screen again. "Maybe, I could just lay down?"

Without taking his eyes off the screen, Karkat nodded. "Sure, go ahead."
Dave noisily shifted himself around to get in a comfortable position, placing his shades on to help obscure the screen. The amount of time it took him to get comfortable was intrusive to Karkat's viewing and mildly annoying, but once Dave was comfortable, he was quiet. Karkat smiled, placing a hand on his shoulder as he continued to watch the film.

The movie moved along, as did Karkat's hand. The troll wasn't even aware he was doing it, but Dave was. First rubbing his shoulder, and then moving to the base of his head, and then his scalp. Massaging the blondes head with his strong hand. Fingers carding through his hair. It was hypnotic for Dave, he soon was lost in the sensation, letting out small sounds of approval. The noise catching Karkat's attention for a moment; he realized what he had been doing and smirked to himself. Dave was really relaxed, it was rare for the human and Karkat couldn't help but love him like this. It made him proud that he could elicit such a noise without even trying. He allowed himself to continue, adding a little more force to his massage, causing Dave to groan a little louder. The blonde was now so relax and lost in the feeling of his boyfriend's powerful fingers on his head that he started to drift in and out of consciousness.

Eventually, Karkat stopped his ministrations and woke Dave up. The human felt kind of bad as he yawned "Well I failed at my plan, I'm sorry Kitkat." Karkat just shook his head and smiled.

"Don't be, two out of three is pretty good, besides the noise you made was cute."

Dave blushed a little, resulting in a small chuckle from the blood player. Karkat looped his arms around Dave's neck, kissing his long and sweetly. Pulling away only to say "Thanks Davey, this was great." Before they continued the expression of love for the rest of the evening.

HyruleHearts1123: Oh, THAT'S why I love this fandom so much! Seriously though, I don't think I've ever read more fanfic for a single fandom than I have for this one. And I think it's because so much of it is fluff.

Linda065cliva: Dammit, Steam Powered Giraffe! Got it, I'll check that out tonight. You make them!? Cool! I have no talent when it comes to fashion. And if you are going to an Art School than I think pretty much anything goes XD.

Guest: Not creepy! Owls of any kind are GOLD!
