[ oh. so there is someone.

karkat is not sure how to respond here. the side of him that is a gigantic, petty asshole kind of wants to sabotage yu's chances of going with some other dude. but he (un)fortunately cares too much about his friend's general happiness to do this. so instead, he'll just die. ]

Well what kind of guy is he?
Is he the kind who would be into those embarrassing as fuck proposals that get the attention of everyone within a ten mile radius?
Or does he actually have a sense of shame?

[covenantal]

Well, let's see. He's thoughtful and intelligent, though he can be a little short-tempered.
So I'm sort of leaning towards the second one for now... but I'd still like to make my invitation special. A small gesture, just for him... that's pretty romantic, right?
What do you think? I'm torn.

[alienates]

[ who the fuck is this punk. ]

If he's short-tempered then yeah.
The last thing you need is some angry asshole causing a scene in public.

[covenantal]

[ wondering quietly how long he can get away with this honestly ]

... I want to say he wouldn't, but sometimes I'm not sure...
Other ideas, then. What if I bought a corsage, and went over to knock on his door? Do you think that's romantic?

[alienates]

Ok but how are you presenting this corsage?
Because there has to be an appropriate amount of buildup leading towards it.
If I were a jealous and bitter man, I would say that as soon as he opened the door, you threw it at his face.
NOT THAT
I HAVE ANYTHING TO BE JEALOUS ABOUT
BUT IN A HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, IF I WERE, THAT IS WHAT I WOULD SUGGEST.

[ FUCK ]

[covenantal]

[ oh god

help

why

that's hilarious and really cute at the same time and yu's chest is horribly tight with the need to laugh and something like uncertain hope ]

Launching a corsage at your date's face is pretty unconventional, but maybe the refreshing boldness of the strategy will work out in my favor.

By the way, are you home at the moment?

[alienates]

I heard the element of surprise is pretty attractive.
Probably
Uh

[ does he want??? the person yu wants to ask to prom to find this attractive???

like, as his best friend, karkat wants the best for him. as someone with a crush on yu, he wants to kick the other guy's teeth in. it's a dilemma. ]

Yeah I'm home with the cats
