Karkat woke up to a purple tinted sunlight, feeling warm arms wrapped around him. He tried to squirm away but to no avail. Gamzee tightened his arm around Karkat, laughing. Karkat turned to face Gamzee again." LET ME GO" "NoPe, I nEeD tHe PaSsWoRd FiRsT." Karkat laughed, he remembered when they were just wrigglers, giggling and squeaking at each other."HMMM,A PASSWORD?"
Gamzee nodded his head, his goofy grin shining brightly."IS IT A SPOKEN CODE?" Gamzee nodded." WELL,IM LOST. BUT I KNOW WHIS GETTING SOPOR FOR BREAKFAST~!" Gamzee let him go chasing him down to the kitchen. Of course Karkat was against him eating it, but he realized that this is best for him. He still didn't like faygo." DO I HAVE TO MAKE IT?" Gamzee nodded, keeping his eyes in Karkat. The troll opened the fridge and set out the Ingredients, making the pie in a matter of minutes. After sweeps of getting to know Gamzee, he learned the entire recipe. It's not like he ever used it.... As he set the pie on the table, Gamzee dug in. Within seconds the pie was gone. Karkat gave a small laugh. "WO-" before he could get anything out there was a knock on the door. When he checked he saw nothing but two sets of clothes. There was a note on each pair. He picked up a red card, reading it to himself.

Dear Karkat,
I was thinking that you might need some clothes if you didn't want to wear your ones from last night. I didn't want to go through your closets so I just pulled stuff out of my closet. You totally don't have to wear it if you don't want to! ... anyways, stop by if you get a chance.
-Dave

Karkat picked up the clothes, seeing a disk with red sleeves. He noticed on the back of the card some extra writing.

P.s. ( I love you )

Karkat felt a small smile fall to his face. No matter what he did, he just couldn't not love Dave. He then saw an orange card, reading it.

Karkat,
Didn't want you to wear dirty clothes, so I brought you a shirt, and a hoodie, it's gonna get cold as fuck.

Peace- Dirk

He picked up the shirt, a look of confusion as he saw it was just an orange hat in the middle. He looked at the hoodie, it was a God Tier brand. A pink designed heart was in the middle. He brought them in, setting them down on the table. "wHaT's ThAt?" "JUST SOME CLOTHES FROM THE STRIDERS." Gamzee gave a low growl."WhY?"
"I DONT KNOW! SO I WONT WEAR THE CLOTHES FROM YESTERDAY. AND BECAUSE ITS COLD? I GUESS."
Gamzee pulled Karkat upstairs opening a closet. "YoUr ChOoSiNg My MoThErFuCkInG bEsTbRo." Karkat saw an arrangement of clothes. He came across a small grey shirt with a smiley face on it. Just as he closed the door, Gamzee handed him a purple hoodie(of course, another God Tier) ". DoNt WaNt My bEsT bRo FrEeZiNg OuT tHeRe." Karkat laughed, feeling Gamzee pull him into a hug. "THANKS GAM" he heard a small honk in return. He grabbed his pants and changed his clothes. "ALRIGHT GAMZEE, I'LL SEE YOU TOMORROW." And with that he walked out the door, carrying the offered shirts and hoodies with him.
As he walked for about 5 minutes, a red jeep stopped next to him." Karkles what are you doing out here, I was coming to pick you up." Dave said as he got out." I was gonna give these back." Dave took the clothes, pushing them to the backseat." Did you read my note?" Karkat hopped into the car, nodding his head. "You read the back?" Karkat gave another nod." Well, I just want you to know I meant it." He's said, grasping karkat's hand. Karkat took a breath in, smiling as he held on." I love you too."
After everything, that's all he could say... that's when he knew that he really needed Dave. But of course he wouldn't let him know that!
"But you're still stupid."
Dave laughed driving them home.
As they opened the door they saw a knocked out Jake on the couch and a stoic Dirk." Hey little man! How you doin'?" Before Karkat could say anything, Dave wrapped his arm around him." He's fine. The clown dude had clothes for him." Dirk raised an eyebrow, looking at Karkat." I believe I asked Karkat over there, and I think the wuestion is now going to be answered by him. Karkat felt their
Eyes on him. He blushed, playing with the ends of this hoodie." ...I-I'm good. Gamzee a-already had some clothes for me... but I really appreciate the offer!..." Dirk nodded, turning back around. Before the boys could move they heard Dirk say something." Karkat can you come here for a second?" Dave held Karkat tightly, shaking his head to Dirk." Karkat? Can you come over here." Dave let go of Karkat, the troll slowly walking in front of Dirk." What, I-is something wrong?" Dirk turned to Dave, seeing the anger on his face." Can let us be in private for a second lil bro?" Dave flipped him off, giving one final gaze to Karkat as he walked into his room. " so why di-" before Karkat could say something Dirk pulled him to the couch, a smirk still on his face." I wanted to talk to you about yesterday-" " we already went over this, it's ok it was just a game." " that's the thing, it wasn't."
"What do you mean it wasn't ju-" Dirk kissed Karkat softly, wrapping his arm around karkat's waist. " I guess I like you, I don't know why or how it happened but I do. So what do you say?" Karkat looked away with a huge blush on his face." Dirk that's... sweet? But i just have... I don't know how to say it..." Dirk sighed, a smile breaking his stoic stare." Well, I tried at least. Can we be best friends?" Karkat laughed, feeling Dirk start to tickle him. " of course!" The laughs were cut short as Dave let out a small cough. " did I miss anything?" Dave asked as he passed an annoyed glance to Dirk." Not much. Anyways, why don't you come watch tv with us?" Dave scoffed as he plopped down on the couch next to Karkat." Is this more anime bullshit?" Karkat gave a confused look to Dave." What's...anime?" Dirk, pulled Karkat him, a twinkle hitting his glasses." Which genre?!" "... r-rom com?" Dirk instantly pulled up an anime playing it on the tv." Yamada and the 7 witches. You're ducking welcome." Karkat stared in amazement as the show went on.

As the credits rolled in, Karkat sat in amazement." That's was awesome!" Dirk rubbed karkat's shoulder, pulling him closer." Well of course! It's anime!" Dave rolled his eyes, grabbing karkat's hand." I guess it was good, it had some flaws but-" Karkat jerked his hand back." I thought it was really good, it's romcom, good characters, and the theme song is amazing!" Dave stuttered." Y-yeah... you're right it's totally p-perfect." Karkat grinned at Dave." Thank you very much." Dirk lifted up karkat's cheek inching his face closer." You know what else sounds fun?" Karkat blushed, scrunching his nose in suprise." Uh... What?"
Dirk pulled away, pulling Karkat off the couch." Sewing!" Dave shot up, pulling Karkat to his side." Fuck that! You are not introducing him to your little sex doll things." Karkat looked at them with another questioning stare." What's a sex doll?" Dave and Dirk looked at each other, Dave blushing slightly as Dirk laughed." " aww, Karkat you're so innocent!" Dave pulled Karkat closer." Sure, that's what you think-" the troll hit Dave's shoulder." Can you not say that? I swear that's all you ever think about now." Dave scoffed." No it's not, that's all you ever hear. It's not like I ever you know, gave you something super important before or relived you're best moments or shit like that." Karkat looked at his hand... a small gold ring sitting there, he'd almost completely forgotten about it. It was like it was a piece of him." The ring..." Dave gave a fake laugh, letting go of Karkat." Yeah, you forgot about huh? Or what about the times when we sang together, or the notes, the pictures?!" Dave pulled out his phone, showing Karkat his lock screen: the two of them making goofy faces. He opened it to his home screen: a picture of them snuggled up, sharing a sweet kiss. Karkat felt tears roll down his eyes. Dave gave a small sigh as he pulled Karkat in for a hug." And I made you cry again..."  " so are you two dating or not?" Dirk said, cutting through the silence." Dave mouthed one sentence to Dirk. :" I guess you could say it's complicated."

  

Karkat looked Dave in the eyes." Do you regret any-" "no! Do you?" Karkat shook his head, smiling softly as he felt Dave kiss him. Sparks went off for them, feeling every doubt melting away. They parted, Dave laying his head on karkat's. " I love you Karkat" " I love you too."
They gave each other looks of pure happiness." You wanna do somethin'?"  Karkat nodded, laughing as Dave picked him up bridal style. " let's go play some video games." Dave ran to his room, setting him down on the bed as he turned on the console.
