The point is, they're not ill-fitting by nature, you just don't want to cop to that shit.

[ he rolls his eyes. ]

I don't think you think being happy means we don't fight and everything is always perfect. I think your definition probably means we fight less than we have been and I mostly think y'all think happy should involve being happier than I usually have been recently. I...

[ he starts folding up the note, matching the creases perfectly. ]

...Won't argue about the shit you said not to, I guess, so. Yeah. Thanks?

[alienates]

Oh, Uh, no problem.

[ he kinda just kicks at the ground, embarrassed. ]

Also I thought I made it pretty clear that I have no intention of breaking up with you? So. Next time don't leap to that conclusion even if I'm angrily seething over the fact that you wouldn't open the fucking quiz book.

[parodeity]

Oh. Uh, sure.

[ he has no idea what to do with this note. is he supposed to keep it? he kept john's birthday note years ago though it wasn't on him when he got here. but this is different.

after a moment's deliberation he drops it into his sylladex to worry about Later, whenever later comes. ]

I'll...go back to decorating then?

[alienates]

Right. Yeah you should go and do that since that was a. Thing. You were doing.

[ karkat's brain right now is basically just a siren noise as he tries to figure out all the ways he managed to fuck this up since

he definitely fucked this up?? yes ]

I'll just go back to my room. I guess.

[parodeity]

If you aren't doing anything, you can help by putting up like, decorations in other locations. Dirk gets all judgey if I do the loop thing, so. Rose is supposedly helping me but I'm not sure if she's actually helping or just flirting with Kanaya.

[ and he is not asking because rose can do what she likes tbh as long as she seems content. ]

But ok. See you later.

[alienates]

Wait no I'll help!

[ he says it a little too quickly which makes this all the more embarrassing? but he is still pretty sure he did something very badly here( other than making dave think he was getting dumped), so. helping decorate might help make things a little better. maybe. ]

[parodeity]

Uh, ok. Do you have a preference on where you decorate, because we need like streamers and cobwebs and shit in a lot of rooms still? Rose is supposedly taking the library and most of the living areas, I was doing the first floor...

[ and other people are doing other things. ]

[alienates]

I don't particularly care?

[ somewhere he can cry with minimal interruptions???? ]

[parodeity]

[ KARKAT... ]

Rec room? Do you got space in your 'dex right now?

[ for decorations, he means. ]

Most of the shit's in the dance floor room, so just grab what you want and go with it is what we have been doing? ...We...probably could be more organized about this, couldn't we. Oh well. It's more or less gettin' done?

[alienates]

[ he was giving dave shit for being overdramatic but he, too, is overdramatic. ]

If it was well organized than it wouldn't be a party planned by you. But sure, the rec room is fine.

[parodeity]

Ok, I dub thee sir in charge of the rec room and apparently throwin' shade at the entertainment overlord?

[ rude ]

Anyway we'll meet up later for dinner or whatever when we actually, like, work our way to finishing all of this. Or today's portion. I guess we still have tomorrow, too.

[alienates]

If we still have tomorrow then there is no point in working ourselves to death today.

[ karkat you haven't even done anything yet

he goes over and gives dave a quick kiss on the cheek though. he isn't sure if like, one on the lips is ok, so..... ]

[parodeity]

Technically we'd have more if I wanted to test Dirk's patience, but.

[ he doesn't actually enjoy doing that regardless of how often he does it? dave leans down a little to make it easier on karkat because he is. short. and dave is not. ]

I'm preeeeeeeeetty sure we'll finish in time?

[alienates]

No, he's right. Stop looping so much you asshole.

[ also fuck u tall person??? ]

But ok... I'll see you later then?

[parodeity]

I was going to give it up at some point, y'know.

[ but then he. had not. because haha battles. ]

But yeah whenever we all get hungry for dinner.

[alienates]

You can still technically give it up.

[ that is probably a conversation for another day though. ]

I love you.

[parodeity]

Not really. I still would've had to do it even more even if we'd ended up in the right spot.

[ he shrugs. ]

Yeah. You too, babe.

[alienates]

[ even though karkat is still p sure he fucked this whole conversation up somehow, he does smile pretty brightly when dave says it back because he is.... weak....

and then he will turn to go before he manages to ruin the moment or something. ]
