Johnkat; BT Verse; John causes Karkat to purr

asukaskerian:

So sometimes when you’re hosting an alien, unintended things will happen. Alarmingly, hilariously unintended.

Like Karkat getting drunk on lemon sherbet.

Turns out the aliens have a kind of guts that turns sugar straight into alcohol, and usually it’s not enough that John has ever noticed Karkat acting tipsy, but lemon sherbet is hells of sugary.

John nods in all the right places as Karkat talks at him at lenght in a hilarious mix of alienese and mangled English, and admires with all due attention the scribbles Karkat is making on all the paper napkins he could grab in a single fist (a lot of them), and when Karkat wobbles while getting up he wraps his arm around his shoulders to keep him steady.

Then Karkat lets out this hilariously drawn out “ah, well” sigh and slumps against John’s side, and John ruffles his hair, once, teasingly.

He ends up with his hand hells of sore, because the crickety noises Karkat makes are as adorable as his growls when John stops are worrisome.
