Imagine Jade wanting to cuddle with Karkat and he tries to be the "big spoon" (something she'd told him about, but with no troll comparison). He's only just barely taller than her and can't figure out why his elbows are digging into her ribcage in this whole process. Jade just flips over and remedies the issue, curling around him instead.

Imagine Jade an Karkat get invited to John and Jane's birthday parties but Karkat just spends the whole time ogling at Jade in her party dress and Jade tries to pretend that she hasn't noticed. (They break party poppers in each other's faces later, and he passes out from a sugar rush induced by seven consecutive pieces of cake)

Jade and Karkat do the trust fall thing and Karkat is so prepared to sweep her up in the arms. And then. She's a lot heavier than the broom her practiced with and all that happens is that his spine makes a cushy landing for when she falls. (She's the one that sweeps him up in her arms in the end)

Imagine Jade getting tired over her recent science experiment and taking a nap on her desk. As an expert in cocoon-making, Karkat bundles her up in every blanket they own and she wakes up wriggling around because she's basically trapped.

Imagine Karkat's a delivery florist in a little earth city. He messes up big time and misreads a "5" as a "6" and ends up giving Jade the bouquet that was intended for her neighbor. Now convinced that the florist is enamored with her, as there was no name on the flowers' card, she shows up at his work often to talk with him. Karkat doesn't understand why, exactly, but they form a friendship out of her homegrown flowers and the obnoxious accessories he puts on them.

Karkat’s the kinda guy that has their entire marriage and life planned out the second he finds out they like each other, right down to the perfect flowers that would accentuate Jade’s dress. He has word documents 10+ pages long with possible grub/baby names.

Imagine Jade is dared to check Karkat's browser history in a drunk truth-or-dare with the rest of the beta kids. To her surprise, she finds aggressively kind searches such as: "HOW TO TELL SOMEONE THEYRE A PIECE OF SHIT BUT IN A FUN WAY?" "HUMAN-TROLL RELATIONS LAW?" "ARE TROLL GENETIC DISORDERS PASSABLE THROUGH HUMAN OFFSPRING?" "HOW TO TELL YOURE BEING TOO OVERBEARING?" "SHOULD I BUY HER FLOWERS? GODDAMN I JUST NEED SOME ANSWERS" "is the shift key frightening to humans?"

Imagine Jade and Karkat taking long, leisurely walks through Jade's forest. She can name every plant and animal, and she does so animatedly, and he watches her excited expressions without hearing a word she says. At the end, he doesn't even know the difference between a human fern and a human oak tree.
