Karkat goes still, hardly daring to breathe. If Dave doesn't—no, what the fuck, he's acting like an entitled little bitch, who is he to demand that his moirail tell him everything, that there be no secrets between them? Maybe somewhere out there, there is—was some lucky pair whose moirallegiance functioned like that, but Karkat is a goddamn expert at this shit by now and should know that it doesn't always work like that. He's just—he's so fucking tired of secrets and skulking in the shadows and never being there, ever, but Dave has nothing to do with that. That isn't Dave.
And if he gets stubborn and insists on something even he knows is utter bullshit, no matter how much he wishes it wasn't, he'll only drive Dave away.]
I'm—I'm not—
[Fuck could he be any more transparent? He's so selfish, stupid, worthless, he wouldn't even blame Dave at this point if he just got up and left.
He tries taking a deep breath, then another. Come on, this shouldn't be such a federal fucking issue.]

I won't blame you if you don't. It's okay, Dave.
