Because someone needs to keep the night-terrors at bay, and what are friends for?

In my verse, even before they were matesprits, John often hung around while Karkat was sleeping, so as to help ease the nightmares all trolls suffer x3
Actually currently working on the long, arduous argument they had about it before John convinced Karkat to accept his help.
It was probably during these times that John started to realize he felt more for Karkat then just friendship.

Karkat sleeps on a pile of pillows covered in symbolistic images that help soothe him >3>
Images which I am far to lazy right now to explain.
Feel free to take a guess at what each pillow represents though xD
