[ the sea dweller isn't the only one that's nervous. Karkat is too. oh god is he nervous and filled with nausea. not only is he going out on a date with someone he may or may not have some red leanings towards, but it's fucking Eridan of all people. trolls. whatever.
so when that text message comes? he nearly jumps out of his seat. Alex raises his head, looking somewhat concerned. with a pat, the beast is appeased and Karkat leaves to go on this date. this date that could potentially lead to things being official. a date that could define if this could even work or not.
as Karkat approaches the Game Corner, he's kind of scared about how this could change things. ]
[It's like a light switch, once Karkat comes into view his nervousness and doubts get shelved, that facade of confidence and "I'M THE FUCKING BEST AT THIS" comes right back out once he's on stage so to speak. He has to be confident, he has to make this work if he wants this to be a thing, he can't show that he's nervous or scared that he might fuck something up, he has to show Karkat he knows what he's doing.]
[Even though he doesn't. As much as he's wanted to fill his flushed quadrant before, it definitely didn't happen. He's much more experienced in the dealings of blackrom, not redrom. But no time for being a nervous little wriggler when it's time to act.]
[Sporting a grin that's probably too painstakingly familiar, he waves Karkat on over. Yep, nothing to worry about, Eridan has all the confidence! All of it.]
[Okay yeah, nervousness is still a thing even with that momentary lapse of confidence. God, being 13 and on a date with the guy you pity is hard and nobody understands!]
[ dude, that arrogance is not cool. it's a little off putting because Karkat KNOWS that Eridan's far more comfortable with blackrom. Karkat realizes this and all he wants to do is roll his eyes at first. show some vulnerability. this is pity we're talking about here. that should be fine.
seriously. how can this guy expect Karkat to open up if, well, Eridan doesn't do the very same? in all situations. ]
