[ luckily for yu, karkat does not notice anything, especially since it doesn't seem too weird to pause for a moment before saying something as sappy as that.

after yu finishes talking, karkat stares for a second before actually laughing. he really doesn't laugh often, so it's definitely the first time yu has ever witnessed this rare event. it doesn't last very long at least, as karkat sobers back up quickly. ]

Only if you don't let it goddamn melt this time. I'm pretty sure it was more soup than anything by the time you actually started to eat it.
