"Gamzee N-no..." Karkat's soft pleas echoed down the tubed slide where he had hidden himself. From the top of the platform he could now see the blood spattered, purple sneakers of his Moirail. 'oh god, he's coming closer, I...' Karkat took a shaky inhale holding it in for a second before letting a choked sob vibrate his teeth as loud as Death himself. Slapping both hands over his mouth in a desperate attempt to take back the unwanted squeak. He wanted so badly to be able to breath from his nose. But what felt like hours of running and crying had caused it to clog, incapable of forcing air through.
Karkat's thoughts were stopped as fast as they came. Shuffling of rubber soles caused him to open his shut eyes. Gamzee was leaving. Where was he going, he could of swore Gamzee had heard him wimper. Not that Karkat was complaining, the opposite in fact. He was thrilled Gamzee had gotten borad and went to see if he could find him somewhere else. Maybe he saw a shadow and mistook it as karkat's, yeah he liked that Idea.
He waited twenty minutes or more before he slowly, quietly slid down the inner walls of the slide. His feet touched the squishy moss covered gravel. The carnival ground was gruesomely beautiful rainbow of almost every blood colour in the hemospectrum. Karkat leaned back on his elbows, looking up at the top of the massive tent that surrounded the abandoned amusement park. He remembered Gamzee telling him about this. The top of the tent was black, little specs of white and yellow littered across it. Stars, millions of them. His eyes widened when they fell a upon a cluster of larger ones. They looked familiar to him. It looked like a oval with two small circles on each end.
Fuck! The lump in his throat had snuck back and was suffocating him. He need to leave as soon as possible, get the hell out of this shit fest and back to his quarters. Possibly hide for the rest of his remaining sweeps. Menacing footsteps rumbled the landing causing the slide to shake furiously. Karkat had barely any time to move before Gamzee was sliding head first towards him. Arms stretched out.
"No...no...no...no." Karkat's pulse raced as sharp pain shot through his wrist. A deep laugh seeping with insanity boomed around them.
"Ahhahah…" Gamzee sat straight up pulling Karkat, pushing him up against the wall.
"HoNk HoNk mOtHeRfUcKeR." He whispered.
