[Dave stumbles to a stop at the rising panic. Hey, hey, no, shoooooosh, he thinks, or maybe says? He's not sure, all he's thinking of are soft warm hands, of burying his nose in Karkat's (real, trollish) hair, of how nice it feels to rub his hand over Karkat's back. Wonder and deep, almost aching care, softness that brings him to hush.]
shhhhhhhhhh shh im not gonna do that again ok? ok its ok and im ok and the two of us were gonna be ok here in the okest state of being which happens to be called oklahoma
[But even as he tries to soothe Karkat, his own doubt and nerves rise, and he shifts his weight, uncomfortable. He can't really promise that, can he. But, maybe, if they can just make it so it can't happen...]
ok karkat i have sort of a suggestion so bear with me here its kinda kinky?? wait holy shit is palekink a thing please tell me it is jesus christ i HAVE to know anyway it requires you letting me trust you is that cool with you bro
[Whatever it is, he's a little nervous about it--a little embarrassed?--and about how Karkat will take it.]
