You all woke up in the same places you were when you entered the dream bubble.
Except Karkat was on top of you, and his lips were dangerously close to yours. He accidentally pressed a kiss to the corner of your mouth and got up. He realized that you were on the floor and dragged you up. You're pretty sure you heard him mumble "Asshat." or something similar to that. You both wobbled into his respite block and he threw you and himself onto the bed. You just laid there, content with the current situation. Until he brought it up.
"So obviously you like me." Fucking great.
"Well...yeah. I didn't just make out with my best bro for no reason. But listen, I'm not really interested in troll romance. When I tried it before with Terezi it didn't exactly work out."
"Can we try your...uh...human romance? Didn't you say it's like...all of the quadrants in one? I think that would be best for this...relationship?" You had never heard his voice get quiet like that.
"Yeah, I'm up for that. Actually, I'm so fucking up for that that I'm floatin' higher than these god tier powers even intended. I'm so up for that that I-"
Karkat cut you off with a kiss that was way too short.
"Go to sleep. I love you."
"...I love you too."
You thank dream bubbles everyday.
