[—UM, OKAY, A LOT OF TOUCHING IS HAPPENING, KARKAT WAS NOT PREPARED. Jade had hugged him the moment they met in person, but this?? Definitely not something he'd seen coming.
He's too stunned at first to react, which gives John plenty of time to assault his poor unprotected cranium, but the moment he recovers, he's batting at the human's hands and trying to contain his blush that is totally not a thing at all and obviously a figment of your imagination.]
W-what the hell, John, back the fuck off! [Swat, swat, retreat. Can he just put some distance between them, this is uncomfortably physical.] It happened when I came here! Everyone who isn't human winds up with your inferior anatomy, dipstick, which I was going to tell you before you decided to flip your shit and grab me!
[And he's just. Going to keep his own hands on his head now. No more touching, he can't deal with the touching.]
