[ well that's because karkat never plans to break up with him that but that doesn't mean he can't be overdramatic anyway ]
Uh no. You are definitely the one who is all about the sap. I am just being dragged along for the ride as you continuously embarrass yourself by being needlessly mushy.
My taste in movies has nothing to do with my love life, Dave. Also you said I love you first there which means that you're the biggest sap. Whoever brings it up is logically the most hopeless romantic.
[ that doesn't seem like it's a scientifically proven fact but karkat says it like it is ]
How can you be so casual about this? I know that the human romantic spectrum is not as fleshed out as my species', but love is still a complex emotion no matter what. I mean, isn't being in love fucking terrifying? Yet here you are, stating it like it's the simplest shit in the world.
[ and here karkat is, overcomplicating things like usual ]
yeah. dave just. suggested they. talk about something. granted his voice sounds strangled a little but. feel special since this is the only time so far his haphazard attempts at doing the Talking Thing with dirk have carried over to anyone else at all. it's not at all going to be a regular thing, although he's offered to talk about other shit with karkat before - just. usually karkat's shit instead of shit that is relevant to both of them or related to solely dave. ]
[ the moment of silence that follows is telling, because karkat is so surprised at dave actually. offering to have a Discussion that it shuts him for for a couple of seconds there.
again, karkat is thankful that dave can't actually see him right now. ]
Nnnno. Don't you have more important crap to be worried about? I'm just being my usual dramatic self, it doesn't matter. You should try to figure out how you're going to explain your sexuality bullshit to John.
[ karkat will probably regret not accepting the offer later on, since he is all about feelings jams, but tbh it took him by so much surprise that his immediate reaction was to say no.
they are so good at this. ]
Ok why don't you practice on me? Pretend I am John Ebgert. Imagine that I am doing that stupid face of his, you know the one.

[ it's almost immediate, like he wasn't even thinking about it when he responded. which. karkat was not. ]
Wait fuck no you tricked me.
no subject
[ that can't really be called trickery can it ]
no subject
[ how can he be caught off guard by something they were literally just discussing?? who knows ]
I am pretty fucking sure if I said it first then you wouldn't be able to not say it back either.

[ he's not pressing the discussion angle because lmao just offering to have one without being badgered into it is a pretty big thing, but. ]
But ok yeah I should probably make a legitimate game plan so I don't say something dumb.
