Karkat growled to himself, hitting himself on the head repeatedly out of frustration. How could he forget his own Morail's birthday? Lifting his head up, the small troll just stood and turned on his heels to face his room in the hive he called a home. After giving an irritated sigh, he hung his head and started to pace, his thinkpan almost breaking in half from thinking too hard. Everything that Gamzee needed, he already had, what could he possibly want? More pie? No, he had enough of that as it was. More of that ghoulish clown make-up? Definitely not, the paint seemed to be tattooed onto the taller troll's face as he was never seen without it.

"FUCK! I HAVE NO FUCKING CLUE!" Karkat cried, growling to himself. He never was one to give birthday gifts, he usually got away with a simple 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FUCKASS' but he wanted Gamzee's to be special. Especially now that they had established a Moirallegiance. Karkat just sat in his room for the rest of the day, growling and shouting to himself. Of course, Crabdad had barged in a few times and demanded to know what was wrong with his 'son' which ended in Strife and Crabdad leaving the room in a huff.

It was nearly the end of the day when an idea struck him like the Egbert human's windy thing. Why didn't he just go and ask Gamzee what he wanted? It seemed like the perfect plan, just go and inconspicuously find out what his Morail wanted the most this cycle.

After a quick walk, Karkat gave a short, sharp knock on Gamzee's hive door and waited albeit patiently for an answer but when said answer never came, Karkat couldn't help but just walk in. His instincts automatically thought that something had happened but he knew Gamzee, he knew nothing was wrong. Well, as far as he knew, but the sight before him made the small trolls bloodpumper skip a beat. Gamzee was fast asleep in his bed, nothing unusual but what shocked the young troll the most was the fact that there was no grotesque clown paint on his best friend's face.
Now, everybody knows that Karkat never smiled but when his thinkpan processed the image before him, he couldn't help but let the tugging at the corners of his mouth pull his lips into a thin smile.

"GAMZEE, YOU SOPOR CRASHED, DIDN'T YOU?" Karkat whispered as softly as he could before sitting down on the side of the bed, the mattress dipping under his weight but not enough to wake up the sleeping troll. KK gave a quick glance at the clock, his smile faltering briefly, before giving a soft, cat-like purr. He carefully brushed a strand of hair from his Morails face before lying down next to him, right beside him in the gap between the taller troll's arm and side. Resting his head on that bony shoulder, Karkat snuggled down with his best friend, making sure to keep his horns out of the way. Keeping his eyes fixed on those closed lids of Gamzee's eyes, he gave a soft whisper, that smile, once it returned, never leaving his face.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY..."
"ThAnKs. MoThErFuCkInG bEsT fReInD eVer." Gamzee said softly, wrapping his arms around the smaller troll's form as they both slipped back into a deep sleep. They would need it, what with Karkat's original plan going up in smokes and changing in the most horrifying way. Now, the plan was to spend his Morails birthday with him, after all.
