Karkat was sitting on the floor. His face was buried in his knees, tears trickling down his cheeks. He wiped them away and got on his husktop.

GA: I am coming to you
CG: OKAY...SEE YOU SOON...

Karkat sighed and closed the husktop. He laid on his back and cried some more. Around an hour later, there was a knock at the door. Karkat opened it to see Kanaya. "Are you okay?" She asked. As soon as the words escaped her mouth, he burst into tears once again. He ran into her arms. As Kanaya held him, he began to kneel, so she slowly lowered herself with him. She comforted him as well as she could.
"K-KAN..." He sobbed. Her grip around him tightened as his cries became pain filled screams. She tried to calm him, but couldn't. After a few minutes, his screams dialed down. "KAN..." He whispered
"What is it?" She asked, soothingly. She smiled at him to calm him down.
"I-IT'S..." He began. He began to choke up again. He was able to calm down just a little " G-GAMZEE...H-HE...NEPETA..." Karkat's sensless babble was confusing.
"Breath before you speak...Calm down, it's okay." Kanaya assured him. He collected himself.
"GAMZEE...KILLED TAVROS, NEPETA, A-AND EQUIUS..." Karkat sputtered. Kanaya gasped in shock.
"O-oh..." Kanaya could barley utter through the impact of what she just learned. Karkat laid his head against her chest. Tears began to escape her eyes. As Karkat noticed, he swiped them away, curling up against her.
"DON'T CRY...T-THEY'LL BE OKAY..." Karkat tried to convince her.
"No...they won't...you know that, as well as I do." Kanaya cried. Karkat sighed. Of course he knew it! How could he not?
"WHY IS IT BUGGING ME SO BAD? ME AND EQUIUS HATE EACHOTHER, AND TAVROS AND I NEVER CLICKED." Karkat asked
"What about Nepeta?" She asked.
"THIS IS WHERE I FEEL THE WORST. ALL THE TIME SHE WANTED ME TO BE HER FRIEND, AND I PUSHED HER AWAY..." He whimpered. They sat in silence, snuggled close to one another. Karkat fell asleep in Kanaya's arms. She smiled at him. His slight snoring made him look even more adorable. As Kanaya sat with him, she realized something. She felt RED for him. She sat with him asleep on her lap until he woke up.
"Felling better?" She asked.
"YEAH, A LITTLE. YOU?" He answered
"Just about the same." Kanaya smiled. She let him out of her grasp, but he didn't move.
"K-KAN...I THINK I FEEL...RED FOR YOU..." Karkat confessed. He was expecting her to laugh or be disgusted, but instead she kissed him.
