[... Or Dave could not pick up on his meaning at all. That's fine, too.
Karkat fidgets with the bottle for a second or two, then sets it down well within range of a theoretical anyone who might be bundled up in Dave's bed. It's stupid to fear rejection, they've done it before, he has no reason to think Dave might say no, but...]
I could... stay with you. If y—I mean, if that's okay with you.
[Yes, well done, Past Karkat, good job not sounding like an oversensitive, unstable, desperate fool. Ugh, there isn't even anything flushed about it; he just needs to be close to Dave right now, needs to be sure that he's okay. They just... wouldn't be in a pile this time, but isn't a bed practically the same thing? He's pretty sure it is. It probably is.
He says none of this aloud; he just waits for... whatever Dave's answer might be. It shouldn't be a big deal if he turns Karkat down. No, it won't be a big deal, haha, what the fuck kind of pancracked moron would think that? Hahahaha. Ha. He should never have opened his fucking mouth.]
