"I just can't believe the nerve he had to fucking lie to me!" Karkat growled into the pillow he was smushing against his face. After his little incident with John, the cancer troll sought out comfort from the two most collected females on the meteor. He had returned to his spot on Kanaya's lap, his head resting on her lap and his legs on Rose's lap, and Kanaya had returned to soothingly running her hand through the smaller troll's hair. "I mean I get it, I do. Anyone is probably better to hang out with than a fuck up like me but you know what the least he could do was be honest with me! And maybe he could choose a better lie next time! A date with Vriska? Really? Did he not know that I'd go to Terezi to hang out? Did he not know that he should've probably told Terezi about his fake date with her palemate?" Kanaya nodded in agreement and gently tugged the pillow away from Karkats face, his face was red with anger.

"If I may speak," Rose piped up from beside Kanaya. She put her knitting needles down on top of the partially finished scarf she was making. "John does have a somewhat valid reason for creating such an elaborate lie and plan to go along with it. Though I do agree that he should've been less stupid and probably should've just said he wasn't up to hanging out." Karkat sat up and shot a glare at the Seer.

"Do you know what John's reason was?" Rose nodded but remained silent. "Will you tell me?" Rose shook her head. The cancer troll let out a frustrated growl and snatched the pillow back before pressing it against his face.

"I will tell you this though," Rose mumbled and picked her knitting up yet again. Karkat peeked from underneath the pillow to look at the Seer of Light. "It's a very serious human problem. I went through it and at one point Dave went through it, or maybe Dave is still going through it. Just give John some space and within no time the two of you will be at your antics yet again, fangirling over Nic Cage and Will Smith movies together." The cancer troll huffed and a glowing hand pulled the pillow away from his face yet again.

"She isn't lying you know." Kanaya said firmly. "From what Rose has told me John is going through a mini crisis, something deeply personal and I completely understand why he would need distance from you. It's a human thing that you wouldn't quite understand. Hell, I didn't understand it when Rose explained it to me. So don't take it personally." The short troll opened his mouth to say something but quickly closed it and nodded in defeat. Yet again Karkat was hit with a giant knowledge bomb by none other than Rose and Kanaya. The troll rolled off the laps of the two females and landed on the ground before standing up. He waved goodbye to the two and left to his own respiteblock, his mind thinking og the conversation he just had.

The last person Karkat expected to see when he turned the corner of the hallway that led to his block, was John. Of course the human was standing there, waiting anxiously with a great big bowl of popcorn and a big fuzzy blanket. Oh no. Karkat was not going to be bribed to forgive John. The nubby horned troll growled and attempted to just smash the button to open his door and walk in without speaking a word to the Heir, of course the God of Breath had other plans. The split second before Karkat stepped into his room, John flew in and Karkat ended up walking in and shutting the door behind him. The two of them were alone now.

"Karkat," John began. "just give me like, thirty seconds to explain and if my explanation isn't good enough then I'll leave." The cancer troll pondered this offer. Thirty seconds of John explaining and at his will, Karkat could turn him away. Or Karkat could just yell at John to get out now. Decision decisions.

"Fine. Thirty seconds. Starting now." John nodded quickly and sucked in a breath before he began speaking.

"Alright so I already said it's a human problem but my human problem shouldn't Coke between our friendship! I shouldn't of lied to get out of this, that was a dick move and I'm sorry and just forgive me I swear that my stupid human problems won't bother you or hurt your feelings again!" John smiled nervously when he finished his little apology, his buck teeth showing off. The area around them was still and quiet and tense as Karkat stared John down and made his decision. Finally the troll sighed and his posture relaxed ever so slightly.

"Fine, fine. Your shitty little apology has done its duty and I forgive you." John's nervous smile stretched into a happy one as he leaned forward and tightly embraced the alien. The troll instantly tensed up but relaxed, still not hugging back. "Okay, okay you can stop touching me now." The buck toothed boy nodded and let go of Karkat, his happy smile still plastered on his face. "Let me just grab my crabtop..."

"I already have it set up! Let's go." Without waiting for Karkat's response to any of that, John switched the bowl from one arm to another before grabbing Karkat from the shoulder and pulled him to common room with the already set up husktop and movie. The troll version of Mean Girls was currently paused and displayed on the screen, this was the only movie John could actually stay awake through. Cautiously, Karkat sat down and snatched the blanket from John and wrapped himself up in the comfortable blanket.

"I really am sorry you know..." John mumbled, setting the popcorn between them and hitting play. "My human problem is stupid and irrelevant and it probably shouldn't of been as big of a deal as I made it out to be."

"Jesus fuck John, I already forgave your sorry ass what more do you want?" The buck toothed boy chuckled and shrugged.

"I dunno, maybe a friendship fist bump? So I know we're both still friends?" Karkat sighed dramatically and held out his fist to John.

"You're so needy." Karkat said, though a smile was tugging at the corners of his mouth. The Heir grinned and happily fist bumped his troll friend.

They were okay.
