Sometime early in the morning, while it's still dark outside, John wakes with an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach. A feeling that something is…off.
Then he realizes that there is a tremendous amount of pressure on his hand, and his eyes dart quickly over the body next to him.
John's initial joy and surprise that Karkat had, apparently, actually fallen asleep is countered by the look on his face. His entire frame is tense, mouth open to let out soft little whines, and he shudders, his grip tightening every time.
John doesn't know what to do. He doesn't want to wake the troll abruptly, just in case he does lash out, but shaking him gently does absolutely nothing. The boy reaches forward and presses a palm to Karkat's cheek, feeling the dampness of his skin, and he whispers his friend's name softly.
And then Karkat makes a nose in his throat. A barely-there noise. Something like a chirp or a trill. And it's distressed and lonely and wanting in a way that makes John gasp, and his body moves of its own accord. He draws as close as he can, pressing himself against the smaller length of the troll, trapping their joined hands between them. One ankle hooks around Karkat's, and their foreheads touch as John settles in, glad that he's grown tall enough to wrap around Karkat like this.
"I'm here. You're okay."
He doesn't know if it's his voice or his actions or maybe just his presence that causes it, but Karkat's trembling stills, his breathing slows, and John congratulates himself on a job well done. And if Karkat nudges a little closer in his sleep, well, that's definitely a plus.
Yeah, he's pretty much the best friend ever.
~~~~~~~
Karkat wakes before John, and it takes him a moment to remember where he is. He starts to shift and look around when he realizes that he's wrapped up not only in sheets, but in long arms and legs. John's breath ruffles his hair on every exhale, and Karkat freezes and assesses the situation.
He's in John's bed, with John. That happened last night. He knew about that. Okay, next.
He's…very, very close to John. That must have happened sometime last night, too, but he definitely wasn't aware of it. Must have been an accident. He can deal with this.
He's also…quite well-rested. This is new.
The troll heaves a contented sigh and smiles just a little bit, settling in to fall back to sleep. Maybe sharing a bed wasn't a completely terrible idea after all.

Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.
So, just found this, read all of these fics, and fell completely in love with your 'verse. <3 I love your characterizations and your voice and your everything.
You are wonderful.
...and if you ever write more, I will definitely read it.

abubububuuuuuuu more cute fuzzies! Dem boys are just so awkward and sweet. So tame and fluffy it's almost gen, but I still like it a lot! Are you just going to have a little college-stuck universe now of adorable dorkiness? They certainly seem to be taking a whiiiiilleee like the dense boys they are.

1: This series of stories you've written has been amazing and I basically love you to little bits.
2: I want to believe, for one glorious moment, John got to live out his fantasy of being the Aladdin to Karkat's Jasmine. Even though I realize the whole "Do you trust me?" scene was probably just a happy coincidence.

Karkat laughs and shoves him over.
