Hot for Strider (Karkat/Bro)

Jeff pet his head softly. "Feel any better?"

"A little bit" Karkat admitted.

Jeff was running his fingers through Karkat's hair. "Can I ask you something? And you promise you'll give it some thought."

Karkat nodded. "I can"

Jeff paused for a moment. This probably wasn't a good idea. Actually it wasn't probably. It WAS a bad idea. But he didn't have much to loose at this point. "Sometime when you're feeling better how about you and I go out somewhere? Maybe to see a movie or out to dinner. Or anything you'd like to do."

Karkat shrugged. "I really wanna go see my dad." He mumbled

Jeff ruffled his hair. "I can take you to visit him first. Sound good to you?"

Karkat nodded, his eyes closed. "Yeah. I'd like that. I'd like that a lot" he mumbled

Jeff kissed his forehead. "I have tomorrow off."

Karkat hummed again. "Kay. I'd like that"

Jeff had pulled Karkat onto his lap when they got on the bus. Dave had taken the car to do errands. Jeff hadn't felt like arguing that morning and just let the younger Strider take the car.

He ruffled the younger boy's hair. "Excited? "

Karkat nodded, resting his head against Jeff's chest. "Don't feel so good still" he admitted. "But not like I'm gonna be sick again."

"Wanna go somewhere to get soup for lunch?"

Karkat shrugged. "Kinda want to take a nap"

Jeff placed his chin on top of Karkat's head. "What about your dad?"

"Wanna see him first" Karkat mumbled

Jeff faked a pout. "No date today?"

"Date?" Karkat asked drowsily

Jeff chuckled warmly. "That was a joke." Somewhat. "You do know what a date is, right?"

Karkat nodded. "I know what they are"

"You should let me take you on one sometime."

Karkat shrugged. "Maybe"

Jeff was grinning. "Wonderful."

Karkat hummed again.

Jeff carried Karkat when they go to their stop. It didn't take long to be lead to a visitation room. Jeff kept Karkat in his lap.
