It had taken him a little while to whisk Tavros away from the party for this little venture. Seeing Equius in a dress had been worth it though and so, as the party started winding down, there had been no need to worry about people missing the birthday boy terribly.

He pushed the other boy down the corridor, being careful considering it was after hours and they could get caught and punished for being out of their dorms. Karkat didn't even let himself breathe until they were properly outside and he finally stopped. He rubbed the back of his neck before reaching into the book bag he'd been carrying around since the party started, pulling a large-looking present from it and handing it to Tavros.

"Happy birthday."
