[ Private to Lust ]

I'm going to take you up on the offer. Just kick us out when you can't stand our presence, but I can't even fucking walk straight half of the time because of these damn growing pains.

So I guess yeah. Just thanks.

[ /end ]

When John wakes up, I am going to thank him for those earplugs. Do you know how fucking peaceful it was riding the train this time around? Maybe that's because a certain someone wasn't trying to start shit every time he batted an eyelash. He's your problem now, Megido.

Now. If I get one more fucking thing that has a Krabby on it, I swear that I will gouge the senders eyes out with my Alakazam's ( or really Vriska's, I guess ) spoons. Yes, haha. I'm a Cancer. Haha, Krabby and crabs. Yes, we all get the goddamn joke. However, let's take a moment to really examine that.

[ Karkat kind of eases the camera over to his Crawdaunt. ]

THIS is probably closer to what my Lusus looks like. He wasn't some scuttling little beast.

Moving on...

How the fuck do you raise a blind Pokémon? He just keeps biting at everything!

[Snorts and instead of ruffling, has a seat on the floor and tugs him down to sit with him; maybe partially in his lap.] C'mere, Achey.

[usedshooshpap]

[ grumble grumble. but Karkat complies, slowly. he IS aching. not lying about that. ]

[shadowdive]

[Once Karkat is settled, Vani gives a short, almost too tight hug before settling his hands on the others shoulders. Massage time? Yes it is.]

[usedshooshpap]

[ and Karkat will just melt into that, thanks. he needs it. ]

[shadowdive]

[Just as planned; at least, in making Karkat feel better. Working knuckles down either side of his spine, Vani sets his chin on the others shoulder, lightly digging with his jaw to get a knot while his hands are busy elsewhere.]

[usedshooshpap]

I'm so getting some pain killers...

[shadowdive]

I can do this before bed if it'll help you sleep.

[usedshooshpap]

It couldn't hurt. Fuck... If this is what it takes to grow, I'm not sure I want to.

[shadowdive]

[Chuckling quietly, he keeps his hands working.] It'll pass soon enough. It's what getting taller takes; at least next halloween, people shouldn't mistake you for a kid anymore.

[usedshooshpap]

Did you have to bring that up?

[shadowdive]

It was pretty funny, for at least the first twenty minutes. [Squeezes the back of his neck and plants a light smooch to his temple.]

[usedshooshpap]

It wasn't funny at all. I'm fifteen, dammit.

[shadowdive]

It was hilarious. [Going to keep snuggling him like a damn teddy bear though, nosing his hair with quiet exhales.]

[usedshooshpap]

Vanitas, I will take a pillow and cram it down your protein chute...

[shadowdive]

Feathers and fabric make for a shitty diet.

[usedshooshpap]

So does peaches and meat with nothing else.

[shadowdive]

Don't forget pancakes now.

[usedshooshpap]

You're only proving my point, you know.

[shadowdive]

My eating habits weren't the topic of the conversation. [Simply squeezes his arms around him.]

[usedshooshpap]

No... And I forget the original point that I was trying to make.

[shadowdive]

That you wanted me to shut up. [Going to just rub his nose to Karkat's temple again, closing his eyes and letting out a content sigh.]

[usedshooshpap]

Right... You're not doing a very good job of that.

[ leaning on Vanitas? why yes! yes he is. ]

[shadowdive]

Don't care.

[Smiling against his hair, Vani tips his head down now to press his mouth to Karkat's shoulder in a small kiss.]
