Provocation of a Fluke (Bro/Karkat)

"Aw, did I hurt the wriggler's feelings?" Bro smirked. "I guess if you're gonna act like a wriggler I can treat you like a wriggler. Tavros has told Dave plenty of the things his lusus or whatever did to take care of him"

Karkat's claws dug into his palms, but his silence remained. Why couldn't he just MOVE OUT OF THE WAY ALREADY?!

Bro smirked wider when he saw the way Karkat's nails dug into his palm. In a move to quick to follow, He had Karkat up in a fireman's carry and flash stepped back down to the apartment.

Karkat lost it when he was slung across Bro's shoulders, scratching wildly at the human's side, "I CAN WALK JACKASS!" he shouted in his ear.

Bro flopped him down on Dave's bed. "I know. I felt like moving you. You should feel honored."

Karkat rolled onto his back, sneering up at the man.
"Consider this my way of saying 'thanks'."
He gripped the bed sheets for leverage and kicked at Bro's stupid fucking face.

Bro caught the foot by his ankle. "You have to get me a lot more drunk if you're gonna hit me with a cheep shot like this." he stated, slipping his shoe off with his free hand. "You ticklish?"

Karkat could see where this was going. Hunching over, he reached towards the hand clasped around his ankle, two of his claws scraping against a knuckle, "LET GO."

Bro jerked his ankle just enough to throw him off balance as he tugged off his sock. "I asked you a question sunshine."

Karkat lashed his foot around Bro's grasp, "And I asked you to let go- fuckface!"

Bro smirked and gripped Karkat's foot tighter, running a finger down the underside. "You didn't answer me."

Karkat's toes curled inwards and his leg tensed at the light touch, a visual answer if there was any to Bro's question. Even so, he retaliated, his free leg trying to kick the man's arm away from him."THAT'S BECAUSE IT'S A STUPID FUCKING QUESTION."

Bro repeated the action, applying more pressure. "Then fuckin answer the stupid question."

"FuckingfuckYOU. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!? DID YOU FALL ON YOUR HEAD WHEN YOU WERE BORN? BECAUSE THAT WOULD EXPLAIN A LOT." The troll shivered suddenly under Bro's administrations during his yelling, making his hatred for the human soar. He sank his claws into the mattress and tugged his foot back, using his body weight to lever him in order to prevent getting jerked around like before.

Bro simply let go without resistance, letting physics and momentum work its magic as he smirked smugly.

A sharp pain shot through Karkat's face when his knee collided into his nose, not enough for it to break, but just enough to make him bring his hands to his nose and cringe momentarily. His body curled up into a ball and he laid on his side, cussing a steady stream sounding like, "I'mgoingtofuckingkillyouinyoursleepyoushitsuckingpustualonadeaddog'sdickFUCK."

"Don't be a baby." Bro snickered. He moved to sit by Karkat on the bed. "Let me see it."

A trickle of tomato-red blood leaked between Karkat's fingers that had been cupped around his nose. He flipped Bro off with his free hand, shuffling his body away from the man.
"STOP FUCKING LAUGHING, THIS ISN'T FUNNY."

"You did it to yourself, man. Just hold still and let me see it" Bro replied, grabbing Karkat's shoulder.

Karkat shoved Bro back with both of his hands, a bit of his cartoonish blood smearing on the man's shirt, "WHY?! SO YOU CAN BREAK IT?"

"No, you dumb fuck." Bro replied, Hauling Karkat into a sitting position by the front of his shirt. "So I can make it stop bleeding." He pinched the troll's nose between his thumb and forefinger and made him tilt his head forward. "Deep breaths through your mouth."

Having someone else hold his nose made Karkat squirm and he snarled nasally, his nostrils humming against Bro's fingers, "Fuckheeng lehgo'a mah nohse! I keeng do this m'self!"

"Shut up and keep breathing. Its your own damn fault you're bleeding to begin with. Just let me make sure you're okay." Bro replied cooly.

"I'dd'a been fuhkeeng peachy if you'd just left m'alone like ah awsked!" Gog, Karkat was not enjoying having to explain common sense to someone this dense while they had their fingers pinched against his nose. At the same time, it's not like he could really do anything to keep Bro off of him without the imminent threat of breaking his nose in the process.

"You never said please" Bro snickered. "That's all it really takes. So chinese food sound good? I know I've been gone all day, but I've got the night off and could use some chow.
