It'th good to thee you too. [it wouldn't be so embarrassing if it wasn't for Karkat constantly fretting about it being embarrassing in the first place. but oh well. he actually does look happy, since Karkat doesn't seem to want to bother with that, although he does look surprised when the presents are offered.]

You didn't have to get me anything, KK.

Shut up, I can still do nice things even if I don't have to. Just take them, alright?

[He pushes them forward.]

Okay, fine. Ath long ath you don't exthpect thomething in return. [he takes the presents and, after looking over them for a sec, opts to open the suspiciously pokegear shaped one first. yeah, he's pretty sure he knows why he's getting this.]

Hehe, ith thith the one you broke KK? You really think I'd want it?

If I were, I would have been bugging you about it before Christmas even happened.

[He waits for Sollux to open the first present, and inevitably frowns at his reaction.]

How am I supposed to know? There's not exactly a lot of computer-related shit around here, and, I dunno. Maybe you can figure out what went wrong or something. Or just mess around without having to worry about breaking yours.

I think what went wrong ith you failing pretty epically. It doethn't take a geniuth to figure that out. [He doesn't actually sound mad about it or anything, though.]

And I wouldn't break mine. But it'th thtill nithe to have an exthtra, really.

Would you shut your protein chute? I'm not that bad, and it was my first time fucking around with it, so give me a break.

Just hurry up and open the second one, if you're just going to use the first as an excuse to tease me.

I'm not, I even thaid it wath nithe, but okay fine I'll open it. [lala moving onto the other present~ once he opens it, though? he just kind of. stares. what is going on here?]

[Why is he just staring like that? Karkat frowns and scratches at the back of his head.]

I uh. Thought that since you won't have some weird laser eye beam meltdown here, you might actually want to try the stuff normally?

[p-pfff. ok he starts laughing a bit at that.] Hehe, it'th jutht honey, it'th not that exthiting right? [even if it was actually kind of thoughtful.]

[The frown turns from uncertainty to grumpiness at the laugh, though relatively mild.]

I said you're hard to pick things for, and I'm not used to this whole Christmas thing anyway. I didn't even have to get you anything.

I know. It'th jutht funny. [and a reminder of how much he sucks here. his life is awful, etc.]

Thankth, KK.

[So long as Sollux is thanking him, though, he'll keep from being too huffy about the amusement.]

Yeah, you're welcome.

...Tho. Were you thtill going to give me that brathelet?

[There go the palms.]

Fuck. I forgot. Hold on, I'll go get it, unless you want to follow me up to get it or something.

[But one way or the other, he'll head upstairs to grab the bracelet from his room.]

[on the one hand, he really has nothing better to do than follow KK. but on the other hand? he's tired of all this walking. so yeah, he'll just sit here and chill while waiting for him to come back.]

[Karkat doesn't complain, and it doesn't take too long for him to return. He heads back over to Sollux and holds out the bracelet.]

Alright, here. Sorry about my shitty memory.

It'th fine, the'th not even here tho the won't know about it. [he takes it and, after giving it a quick look over, puts it in his pocket.]

You think the'll like it?

I don't know. Do I look like an expert on bracelets? Besides, she's your matesprit.

[He does spare a moment to actually think it over, though.]

It didn't really look shitty or anything, and you said she likes them so.

No, but I thought you were a romanthe exthpert. Thouldnt you know thingth like that?

[but that reassurance helps, at least a little bit.]

Just because I know how the quadrants work doesn't mean I know about jewelry. The whole reason I even gave the bracelet away in the first place was because I don't give a shit about it.

But it's a good gesture in itself, giving her something nice. There's good feelings and intentions behind it, and so long as she's not a dense-lobed fuckwit she should appreciate that.

Okay. That'th kind of what I wath hoping but I really don't know what I'm doing. The kind of confutheth me a lot of the time.

Don't worry, alright? She - [saved him when Karkat got him killed, so she] - obviously cares about you.

[Awkward cough.]

She's not the worst troll you could have gone for. Just give it to her when you get the chance and hope it goes well.

It thould go well. I gueth. Even if the doethn't like it the thtill thouldn't hate it, right? Tho I gueth thith ith one thing that really won't go wrong.

See? What did I tell you. It'll be fine.

[He doesn't smile, again, but he's not quite frowning now.]

Yeah. Thankth.
