This whole things for Bea-the-Bee. Part two will be up Saturday, or Sunday. 

Karkat's in his room, on his stomach in a tank top and shorts. It's hot for March, and they don't have an AC to keep things cool. Usually Karkat would wear his usual home attire, consisting of a long sleeve and sweats, but it's nice out. So he's got his window open and lights off. Natural sunlight is always the best anyway.

He checks Skype constantly, for any messages from Dave. Though that's basically useless and shows Karkat's anticipation for wanting to talk to Dave. Besides, Skype alerts you in the little corner when you get a new message.

Dave should be texting me by now, Karkat thought. Had he forgotten about me? Maybe he's just busy. Fuck. Maybe Bro's at it again. Karkat groaned quietly, muttering something about wanting to just make sure Dave's okay. He pulls the movie he was playing on his laptop over the Skype tab, before pausing it and going back to Skype. I'll just shoot him a quick message. Not too much. Just a sentence or so. Casual.

KARKAT VANTAS DAVE

Dumbass, that wasn't even a sentence! He mentally face-palms, groaning again. Karkat stares at the screen nervously. About a minute or two passes, and he fidgets with the mouse-pad because after a minute his laptop screen will go darken (to save battery power), until he sighs in relief.

d-strides is typing...

Karkat snorts at the nickname Dave gave himself. D-Strides. More like D-TRIES. Yeah, no. That wasn't very funny.

KARKAT VANTAS DAVE

KARKAT VANTAS WELL I DON'T REALLY CARE HOW LONG IT TOOK.

KARKAT VANTAS NO YOU DON'T.

d-strides well i wanna ;)

KARKAT VANTAS I REGRET TEXTING YOU.

d-strides then why dont you stop

Karkat does, staring at the screen. He moves the Skype tab to the side and brings up the movie tab, so they're side-by-side and you can see both the messages and the movie. Dave started texting again.

d-strides aww cmon man i was only kidding around

KARKAT VANTAS OH MY GOD JUST SHUT UP BEFORE YOU MAKE IT ANY WORSE. YOU KNOW, YOU COULD DELETE AND EDIT MESSAGES. IT'S SKYPE, DUMBASS.

Karkat blushes only slightly, covering his face instinctively.
