Karkat has Eridan feelings. They are bro feelings, but they are feelings nonetheless. Because Karkat hasn't lived through Murderstuck, and he honestly thinks that death doesn't matter if he can get everyone to Sacrosanct, it means he's more willing to forgive bullshit. Also he's Karkat, which is more reason for him to forgive bullshit. That's just what Karkats do.
Eridan hasn't tried to kill anyone lately, which is a big plus (while Karkat was around for the first Shodan shit, he was brand new to Sacrosanct and never got all the details), and it's just kinda ridiculously depressing to see someone so alone, like Eridan is. Karkat must care for his gaggle of idiots, which includes Eridan. It is his destiny. Which means, while he'll take Kanaya's side in any arguments Eridan might have with her, he'll still defend Eridan. BITCH AIN'T GETTIN KILLED ON MY WATCH SONNNN.
It helps that Eridan is into gossip like Karkat is, because seriously WHO ELSE CAN KARKAT GOSSIP ABOUT ROMANCE AND DRAMA WITH. Karkat genuinely enjoys having someone to gossip and bitch about stuff with. It is ridiculously fun. Also while he pretends to hate Eridan's romance drama, he actually likes talking about it and trying to figure out solutions to Eridan's romproblems. Karkat's surprised about this. If anyone told him a year ago that Eridan would be one of his besties, Karkat would have socked them in the face and laughed.

Wait, backstory about Linda's life. When I was in 9th grade, I had a crazyass ex-marine history teacher. One day, we were watching the Scarlet Pimpernel in class because french revolution etc etc. There was one scene, where the woman, who is in love with the Scarlet Pimpernel, rebuffs her suitor's advances. There's only about a two second close up on the rejected suitor's face, but that was enough. My teacher paused the video right there, laughed with glee, and explained to us that, "This is the face of a man who has just had his heart torn out of his chest by the girl of his dreams. She tore it out, took a big bite of it, and was like, "Hahah, you won't be needing this anymore!" before throwing it against the wall with all the might of the Japanese flyers from Tora, Tora, Tora!" He then proceeded to rewind and play the scene over and over and over again for the rest of the class time we had left, which was about 30 minutes. He laughed the whole time.
Karkat is the French nobleman suitor, except he isn't French and he isn't noble.
Terezi, in his mind, is the ultimate failure in everything he does. Like, he'll lie in his pillow fortress with a tiny smile on his face because, hey, today was a really good day. But then he's just like, "Except for the fact that everything you do is failure, I mean, come on, remember Terezi?" which, of course, sends him back into his usual bouts of self-loathing and teen aged angst. In the romance regard, it's actually starting to become less about Terezi not liking him romantically and more about his own failures and reasons to hate himself. It also provides a lot of complication with his feelings for the other Terezi because HOLY SHIT WHAT IF I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE HER HER, WHAT IF IT'S THE OTHER TEREZI AND I AM JUST FORCING FEELINGS ON HER??? IS THAT EVEN A THING? I DON'T FUCKING KNOW BUT IT'S PROBABLY HAPPENING.
Besides the romance bullshit, Karkat trusts Terezi more than anyone (besides Kanaya). Not just in the "she can see me weak, she can know my secrets," but in the "If I am failing to get shit done, she'll pick up the slack and/or kick my ass into gear." She's one of the few competent assholes he knows, and goddamn, he's so fucking grateful for it. Ridiculously grateful. He honestly sits around thinking about how Terezi would have probably made a better leader than he did, especially after he started finding out all about Murderstuck. But he'll never admit this out loud.
