The end

by Hmg2007

Ok despite what the title says it's about john comforting karkat at THE END of the game. Its after the game. Johnkat fluff, johnkat fluff everywhere! A small drabble i did when i was stuck in traffic. Amazing what 2 hours in a car can do for someones imagination.

My spur of the moment johnkat drabble. :3 There is A LOT of fluff so just be ready to get diabetes because fluff seems to be the only thing I can write.

"Karkat where are you?" John called as he walked around the house looking behind furniture as he went. Ever since the game had ended the cancer had taken to finding places to hide and sleep. You sigh, the troll had never gotten over the game and watching is friends die one by one.

He still had bad nightmares and would wake up screaming. You had all ways been there. You had held him in your arms and kissed his cheeks rubbing his neck and whispering in his ear until he fell back into his fit full sleep. You sigh again and try to focus. You slowly tip toe into the living room listening hard for any sound of movement. Was that…. Yes it was.

An odd whimper not unlike an animal came from behind the couch. You peer over the couch to find karkat curled up into a tight ball covered in as many blankets he could get his claws on, no doubt tearing a few off them. You frown slightly when another whimper comes from his curled up form. You crawl behind the couch rapping the smaller troll into a hug. "Hey Karkat what's wrong." You plop your chin between his horns and listen to his ragged breathing. He doesn't say anything for a few minutes but when he finally does his voice sounds as if he hasn't used it for a while. "It's the dreams there back. Tavros and Nepeta and.."

His voice breaks and he sobs quietly into your chest. You frown and rub at his back with one hand and scratch your fingers over his scalp rocking him slightly every so often rubbing at the base of his nubby horns. Soon he calms down only a few sniffles left behind. "Hey I'm always here for you ok? I'm never going to let you go." You whisper softly to him. He nods and pulls you a little closer. "Now, you should get some sleep. I'll stay here in case you have another nightmare." You push lightly at the base of both his horns and he goes limp in your grasp a few purrs escaping from his lips. You kiss his cheek and settle against the back of the couch pulling a soft blanket over his sleeping form. You close your eyes and relish in his warmth knowing when you both woke up he would try and forget this moment ever happened. You drift off into a light sleep ready to wake up in case he needed you.
