[ like HE KIND OF WANTS TO TELL DIRK / KARKAT / ROSE but in the interest of friendship dave reaches out his own hand to shake rin's. ]

No one ever has to know you thought we were on a date.

[gnasher]

You broke the deal literally as we were shaking on it. The pact includes us, oi, us especially. I take it back, I don't need to be friends with a guy like this...

[MUCH LESS DATE... RIP]

[parodeity]

Hey, we didn't stop shaking yet, the deal isn't fully in effect?

[ but dave will. drop rin's hand while laughing lightly. ]

Seriously, though, don't sweat it, dude? It's chill if you don't want to be friends with me 'cause you don't like hangin' with me, but I don't think that's the case? I can outwait any amount of embarrassment. I got all the time in the world.

[gnasher]

[your shitty time puns... he doesn't understand them because #nocontext, he just thinks you're a slacker with tons of free time to watch movies and now I guess chill with swimmers who need to get a grip. in sum, Rin has not learned his lesson about assumptions making an ASS out of him, just him, only him, forever him]

[as a final word, to solidify the fact that he is not a homewrecker, oh my god]

-- I didn't realise you were together. Karkat never said anything. [another interspecies gay romance? is he up to three? shit, Dirk was right, people really don't care here] It's nice you've both got someone, here.

[thinking pure romantic thoughts outside the context of himself is chilling him out. he likes Karkat a lot, so that's some pretty great news, to hear he's got a boyfriend who's here for him]

[but that raises the strange question of]

Are you from the same place Karkat's from, or your brother?

[he sounds like an American, like Dirk, but he knows more 21st century things, like a normal person, and he's also dating an alien and has magic powers. what's up with this shit?]

[parodeity]

Uh, yeah, he's never gonna. He doesn't want to go public.

[ currently. dave...has decided he wouldn't mind that, but he's fine with waiting until karkat changes his mind or something. so. ]

We're all from different universes technically but also I guess the same bullshit one?

[gnasher]

Ah.

[Rin can understand that; wanting to keep something personal and intimate like a relationship private. he supposes it might even be a little romantic -- and practical, not having everyone up in your business. so, he won't pry more, unless Dave wants to volunteer more deets]

I guess I should get used to "it's the the multiverse's fault" as a reason for everything being confusing basically all the time, with everyone. The worlds I hear about that are most similar to mine actually feel the weirdest to understand -- I mean, alien lifeforms were basically a given with the scale of universe, so meeting Karkat wasn't as big of a deal as it could have been. Hearing about alternate histories of Japan or Earth in general are still weird as hell, though.

[parodeity]

I guess it would be to most people? I'm a time-traveler by trade though, so I'm kinda not weirded out by the thought of alt timelines.

[gnasher]

-- Like "Back to the Future" time traveling? Or the kind where you can't step on a butterfly or whatever or you'll become your own dad?

[parodeity]

N...either, really? I can go back and forth, but I can't do anything that would change anything if I haven't already done it, here. I could back home?
