The night air chilled the hallway as a heavy, slurred knocking shattered the quiet. The door swung open to reveal a disheveled Karkat, his usual sharp edges softened by alcohol and exhaustion. He didn’t speak, simply collapsing forward into the waiting arms of you, a silent plea for sanctuary. Carried inside, he was deposited onto the couch, his black sweater riding up to expose his pale stomach. As sleep claimed him, drool escaped his parted lips, his curly hair messy against the cushions. The room held its breath, watching the usually aggressive troll lie vulnerable, a headache brewing behind his tired eyes, waiting for you’s gentle care.
