karkat never even considered that dave's family might... reach out to him... like that? there's rose, but karkat had spent three years with her, and even then it's not like the two of them ever got obviously affectionate towards each other simply because of what their personalities are like.
he's only really known dirk for about two weeks though. and karkat isn't a stranger to people suddenly deciding that they're friends with him like this, but this is different since again, they are dave's family? karkat may not fully understand the human familial structure, but he gets it enough to know that they are a big fucking deal to his boyfriend. ]
Ok but have you also considered maybe a little less hugging? The two seconds I stayed there with you was like more cuddling than I have ever seen in my life and I had to deal with watching over a dozen people constantly mixing and matching their hookups. Maybe you can chill a bit on that front.
[ his tone is a little frantic because unlike dirk, karkat cannot hide when he is under emotional distress. the only thing he can do is ramble forever. ]
I considered it, and then decided it was a stupid fucking idea to try to limit the amount of time spent hugging when Dave and Roxy are both natural clingers. [Also Dirk likes hugs? Pretty much everyone in this family has suffered from Not Enough Hugging and Dirk is perfectly willing to put his coolkid persona in the trash to rectify this mistake.]
I know you aren't cool with PDA. It's why I'm suggesting a room attached to ours. You'll be nearby, but you'll have privacy when we get to be a bit much. There are shutters and no cameras built in. Not even URSULA will be able to see you in that room.
[She... might be able to hear him, he doesn't know, but he definitely ensured that there would be visual privacy. That swim-by witnessing is something that he imagines Karkat would not want to repeat. If he knew about it.]
[ yeah he'd probably attempt to like, hide inside a locker out of embarrassment if he found out someone actually saw that. and then he'd probably get stuck inside said locker and no one should have to deal with that. ]
I mean, you are less of a pretentious asshole than what your first impression gives off.
[ like... he is still pretentious, at least, but less of the asshole part.
sometimes less of the asshole part. dirk is still an asshole, but it's not like karkat can talk shit about someone else being one? he still will, he'd just also be a hypocrite while doing so. ]
Wow, ex-fucking-scuse me, you rude fuck. Here I was, attempting to be nice to you and even giving you a sincere compliment, and your immediate thought is to insult me? If I knew that I was going to have my kindness unceremoniously thrown back in my face I would have at least worn a helmet to stop my feelings from being hurt. Perhaps next time you will consider that I am a real person with real emotions, unlike those robots that you may or may not be sticking your bone bulge into, I don't fucking know what you mechanical people do in your free time.
[Incidentally, while Dirk says this to Karkat, he is in fact in the lab altering his plans for Karkat's room to incorporate elements of Karkat's pictures. To the best of his ability.]
Because there is a lot of dumb, irritating bullshit in paradox space and I do not intend to deal with any of it unless I absolutely have to. And even then I still would like to keep at least ten feet away from it at all times.
Well it can leave me the fuck alone because I have dealt with enough of that. I think I deserve a pass, excusing me from any and all bullshit from here on out.
Fucking exactly! Give me my nice things, you holographic frog. I have helped create literally two universe so I think at this point i should at the very least receive a medal to celebrate my good deeds.

Picking up another project to accomplish that isn't an issue for me.
[It's the same monotone as always. Uninflected words and low emotional variation.
It also happens to be entirely sincere.]
