DaveKat One Shots

At Two AM

Prompt
You're my roommate who's super cute and it's the middle of the night and you're cramming for your exams in your flannel pajamas and disheveled hair and it's becoming increasingly hard for me not to kiss you.

Finals week was just around the corner and holy shit Karkat was freaking the fuck out. He'd been studying non stop for the past week and he hadn't stopped even to eat. The cramming probably wasn't healthy but Karkat would have given less of a shit at this point, he just needed to pass.

So, here he was, studying at his desk in the middle of the night with his roommate Dave burning holes into his back. Karkat could feel Dave watching him, and Karkat was almost fed up with it. He sighed, continuing to write down notes he'd use for studying the upcoming week.

A few more minutes passed, and Dave still hadn't moved. Karkat spun around in his chair, staring Dave down. "What the fuck dude, I'm trying to study." Karkat almost yelled at Dave.

Dave didn't so much as blink at Karkat. "Sorry man, it's just you're cute when you're cramming for exams at two in the morning." Dave said with a shrug, finally moving to take his shades off and turn on his light.

Karkat's face was now bright red, he was at a loss for words. "Maybe instead of staring you could be studying too." Karkat said, turning back around and hunching over his notes.

Dave shrugged behind Karkat's back, that wasn't too bad of an idea. Instead of going to sleep like he originally planned, Dave stood, pulling his desk chair over to Karkat's desk. "That's a good idea Karkles, maybe I could study for the finals that are a week away with you." He said with a shrug, resting his elbows on the edge of the desk.

Karkat groaned and slammed his head down on his textbook. After a few seconds of silence he sighed and pulled his head up, looking over at Dave with narrowed eyebrows. "Fine." He said, elongating the word for as long as he could.

Dave flashed Karkat a rare grin. "Great! What're we working on?" Dave said, scooting closer. So close, that Karkat could feel the heat coming off of Dave's bare chest. Wait, when was Dave shirtless again?

Karkat's cheeks were so red, the dim light of the desk lamp would probably be able to pick it up. "Something from my major dumbass." Karkat said shoving Dave lightly. He didn't need the unwanted distraction at this point.

"Well maybe you could teach me, my major is boring anyway." Dave said casually, wrapping his arm around Karkat's shoulder and gazing down at the open textbook and notes.

Karkat's cheeks turned an even darker shade of red, damn he was having trouble keeping it together. Karkat groaned and rested his elbows on the table and his head in his hands. "It's not interesting, it's actually really fucking boring. Are you sure?" Karkat thought he might as well agree to let Dave hang over him if it'd shut him up.

"At least it'll distract me from the increasing urge to kiss you." He had to be joking, there was no way Dave actually said that.

Karkat scoffed. "What?"

"I'm trying my hardest not to kiss you and to be honest I'm probably gonna fail."

"Excuse me?"

"God dammit Karkat." Dave grabbed hold of Karkat's face and pulled him close, gently pressing his lips to Karkat's. Dave's lips were chapped and tasted like apple juice, not like Karkat's were much better, his probably tasted terrible.

It took a few seconds for Karkat to register what just happened but he wasn't complaining. After a few seconds of lips pressing on lips, Dave let go.

"There, you can go back to studying." Dave stood and walked across the room to his bed. He flopped down onto the thin mattress and turned off his light.

Karkat sat there, staring at a wall for a few more seconds before letting a rare smile grace his lips. He'd have to cram for tests at 2am more often.
