[It was strange how settled Nepeta was beginning to feel in her relationship with Karkat. When they had first entered a flushed quadrant, she had been so ecstatic that she could barely think of anything else. Anytime she could she would find herself thinking of him and she'd ramble on and on to her cats about him (and often, some of her friends as well). So much of her time and thoughts had been consumed with him, that she thought things would never be any different.

Yet things had calmed down. That certainly wasn't a bad thing--quite a good thing, in fact. Perhaps it also had to do with age, but she now felt comfortable enough in her relationship with him that she was no longer surprised by it. She thought that perhaps maybe that had been it--she had felt so red for him, for so long that to find that they had actually become an item had been rather overwhelming. Even now she had her occasional doubts, wondering if perhaps she was only second best, but she always pushed that out of her mind.

It's hardly something she was thinking about now, as she was curled up with him on one of those human resting devices. 'Beds' they called them. The last of the romcoms they had rented had just finished. She side wistfully, head resting slightly on his chest]

That one was a little more sad than funny...but still really, really sweet.
