I look around to make sure no one is nearby before kissing you! How the hell is that normal? Spoilers: it's not.
[ he rubs his temple. ] And everything else is-- Dave, you're jealous? How the fuck am I supposed to fault you for being jealous if I get jealous any time someone who isn't related to you or named John Egbert talks to you for longer than five minutes?
I knew you didn't want to go public to start with when we started dating? I literally knew this. I shouldn't have ever brought up wanting anything different because spoiler alert obviously that would end badly? And I'm not jealous.
[ hE DOESN'T LIKE THE WORD because he usually isn't, but it has admittedly piled up mostly because he. wants to do those things too. that other people can do. with his boyfriend. he's bad at this. he's not exactly worried about being dumped but he kind of wants to be so he can also do the boyfriendy stuff that he could do were he not dating karkat this makes sense to him. ]
[ ok but it will be kind of hard to do that boyfriendy stuff as karkat will have holed himself up in his room after stealing at least an entire month supply of chef boyardee, and he will eat it all cold, while watching extremely depressing romance movies where everyone dies or breaks up?? and then he will make very vague posts on the communicator, and when people ask him what's wrong, he'd go "I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT :/" even though he very clearly wants to talk about it.
listen. the point is that dave is going to have to tear this relationship out of karkat's cold dead hands?? ]
Yes and that could have changed! Like I said, you can't predict the future. Maybe I also want to hold your dirty hand all the time!
[ TO BE FAIR THAT WAS JUST ONE OF HIS NORMAL INSULTS there was no deeper meaning to it other than the fact he cannot go too long without??? insulting someone?? ]
No, I mean, I could like genuinely want to do it but now if that becomes a thing, you are just going to say I'm being contrary? Also I always want to hold your hand, fuck you?
Because you're literally going to try to force yourself to do shit even though I never actually wanted that. I still don't? I told you if I told you it'd just, like, nix any shot I had at what I actually wanted.
[ which is. what rose and karkat missed. dave did not want to public date, he wanted karkat to want to public date him someday eventually maybe, rather than the mess of getting used to it and everything that happened. he should have been quiet. ]
And no, you don't. But it's not...I don't mind that. Look, can we raincheck the chick flick?
he does not think he can fall asleep in karkat's room right now lmao...among other things karkat's track record for actually letting him sleep is pretty terrible sometimes. ]
Six hour flight. I'll talk to you later, ok? Just, like, shelve everything and forget I ever mentioned any of it. And enjoy the movie. I'll still owe you one.
[ karkat is physically incapable of doing any of that but ok. ]
I love you.
[ it's really the only thing that comes to mind, since he doesn't want to agree to shelving it but he also doesn't want to start another fight about it so.
[ dave knew he shouldn't have shared anything ever ]
Love you, too.
[ and if karkat cares to like, check later, he really will just find dave passed out in his own bed after this??? he was not lying about being tired??? ]

Deciding to do something just because I'm unhappy, even though it makes you unhappy? Does not actually count as wanting to do a thing.
