dave and karkat (as a couple WOW SHOCKING) at a party with the rest of the cast (non-canon non-epilogues, but everyoneās adults idfc how it works Iām just horny BYE) and they get into a fight, ok? whatever it is it gets a little too heated. karkat storms out of the party. and dirk just kindaā¦moves in on dave. like āoh damn, he left, that uhā¦sucksā and daveās looking at him, and wow in a certain lightā¦he really looks likeā¦and heās got some unresolved issues, and dirk, he and jake have been broken up for a while so heās pent up, and dirk sees how daveās looking at him, and yknow, he knows exactly how to pull daveās strings cause hal already ran the calculations 50,000 times to figure out what would lead to the best outcome and dave isnāt that hard to figure out anyway, given the fact that heās probably traumadumped to dirk before during some late-night moments of weakness or something. and just, like, idk, dirk is like āyou know I could give you what no one else couldā and his weird smooth but completely nonchalant tone is getting under daveās skin and heās like COMPELLED to do whatever dirk wants him to and just. AAAAAA
