Unspoken Attraction

Dave brushed him off. "Calm the fuck down. You're always shouting online, I'm just surprised you aren't talking my ears off."

Karkat snorted at him in agitation before fully turning to the television.

"Really though, you haven't said a word. What's up?"

Karkat simply flipped him the bird. He was obviously playing dense and it wasn't cute.

"I seriously don't get why you're giving me the silent treatment here." Dave glanced back at his phone, tempted to text his brother to ask about what the deal with Karkat was, but that would also mean he'd have to deal with ignoring Bro in the first place and he wasn't ready to confront that just yet. "Are you sick or something?"

Karkat hissed at him again.

"Use your words."

Karkat threw the nearest smuppet at him with a snarl.

Dave deflected the smuppet, the goofy sex puppet falling to the floor with a soft squeak. "Alright, not in the mood to talk. Got it."

Karkat continued to glare at him.

He turned to look at Karkat. "You want something to drink?"

Karkat stubbornly shook his head.

Dave shrugged. "Alright then. Suit yourself."

Finally, after nearly half an hour of glaring, Karkat turned his attention back to the tv

Dave looked over towards Karkat when he noticed he wasn't been glared at any more. "You sure you're not thirsty? Hungry?"

Karkat sighed in agitation and shook his head, shooting Dave a glare before turning back to the tv.

Dave sighed. He figured Karkat would be a hard one to please.

Karkat went from being hyper attentive to Dave, making sure the human wasn't going to attack him, to trying to block out his very existence. He pulled his knees closer to his chest.

Dave eventually got bored of watching television and having a pissy troll aggressively glare/ignore him. So, he got up off the couch and went into his room to lay in his bed for a while.

Karkat stayed out on the futon. After a bit, he found himself drifting off, even after the nap he had. He leaned back against the arm and got comfortable, though it wasn't long before he fell asleep and curled up on the seat.

Dave came back out again to check on Karkat, smiling to himself when he found him sleeping. Slowly, he scooped the troll up and carried him back into his room, setting him down on his pile of bean bags.

Karkat shivered when he was laid down on the cool bags. He stirred but didn't wake, curling into a tight ball.

Dave got out a spare blanket and tucked it around Karkat's body before returning to his bed. He laid back down with his hands on this stomach, staring at the ceiling in thought until he drifted off.

Karkat wriggled and tangled himself all up in the blanket, letting out a contented chirp.

Dave cuddled his pillow in his sleep.
