Karkat wiped the tears from his eyes as he walked down the sidewalk, thinking over the events that had lead to him walking around the city on a December night with no jacket.
Karkat walked into the now decorated living room of his apartment, holding two mugs of hot chocolate for him and Eridan. They had spent the whole day decorating the apartment and were now both exhausted. Karkat sat down next to Eridan on the couch, handing his boyfriend his hot chocolate. Eridan had been acting oddly all day and he now stared down into his hot chocolate with a guilty look on his face.
"What's wrong Eridan? You've been acting weird all day," asked Karkat, his usually angry tone replaced with concern.
"Kar, I know we've had an awesome relationship, but…" he trailed off, staring into his hot chocolate.
"But, what?" asked Karkat, his concern growing.
"I've been seeing someone else. I'm sorry Kar, but-" he wasn't even finished with his sentence when Karkat, shot of from the couch, his mug slipping from his hand and shattering on the ground.
Eridan could see the tears rolling down Karkat's face and he stood up, attempting to pull the short boy into a hug. Karkat shoved him away harshly and rushed out of the apartment, not even bothering to grab a jacket.
That's how he ended up here, kicking a can down the street and shivering in the cold. He figured he should find somewhere to go, but who would really care if he just stayed up here and froze to death.
The person he thought cared about him the most had just cheated on him and his best friend was always high off his 's not like anyone cared if he just curled up in some dark alley and froze to death.
He was pulled out of his thoughts by the sound of a car pulling up next to him. His first instinct was to run, but he glanced over and saw it was only John in Dave's bright red car.
"Karkat why are you out here without a jacket? What happened?" asked John, rolling down the window to talk to him.
"None of your fucking business, Egbert," snapped Karkat, pulling his arms tighter around himself to try and hide how cold he was.
"Karkat get in the car," sighed John.
"Why the hell would i do that?" snapped Karkat, glaring at John.
"Because it's freezing outside, you don't have a jacket, and you need to talk to someone about what happened," replied John.
"Nothing fucking happened," growled Karkat, climbing into the car.
"Deny it as long as you want, you will tell me eventually," said John, pulling away from the side of the road.
"Why are you in Strider's car?" asked Karkat, turning up the heat.
"Davee went out with Sollux and I was bored, so I just took his car. He left his car keys at home," replied John.
"Don't you have a car?" asked Karkat.
"It's at the shop, I may have accidentally hit a deer in it on the way back from Jade's house yesterday," replied John, laughing a bit.
"How the hell do you not see a deer before you hit it?" asked Karkat.
"Hey, it was dark! I tried to stop! I'm lucky I didn't try and swerve or i probably would have run off the road!" snapped John.
"It's still stupid that you hit a deer," muttered Karkat.
"Do you want to go to my house or do you want me to take you back home?" asked John, ignoring the last comment.
"Your house," snapped Karkat automatically, tears welling in his eyes at the thought of going home to his now empty apartment. He quickly wiped the tears away, hoping John hadn't noticed.
John glanced over, not commenting on the tears as he drove to his and Dave's apartment. He'd find out what had upset Karkat soon enough.
They pulled into the parking lot of the apartments and climbed the stairs to John's apartment, which was on the third floor. John unlocked the door and ushered Karkat inside to the festive apartment. Dave and John had just finished decorating the apartment that day.
As Karkat stepped inside he noticed the decorations and suddenly broke down crying in the doorway, the events of the day all catching up and the thought of never being with Eridan again settled in his mind. John didn't even question it as he simply picked Karkat up and set him on the couch, going to the kitchen and getting some hot chocolate for both of them.
Karkat took the hot chocolate gratefully and downed half of the warm liquid in one gulp. He attempted to dry the tears from his eyes, but a few still fell as he looked up at John.
"Eridan was cheating on me," stated Karkat bluntly.
"W-what?" stuttered John, surprised.
"Eridan was cheating on me and he told me today. That's why i was outside with no jacket. I kind of stormed out of the house," stated Karkat, staring into his mug.
"Oh, I'm really sorry to hear that. Is there anything I can do?" asked John.
"Can I stay here tonight? I really don't want to be alone at my place tonight," said Karkat sadly.
"Yah, feel free to stay here as long as you need," said John with a sad smile. His phone buzzed in his pocket and John checked the text.
-Hey bro, going to Sollux's for the night
John locked his phone and told Karkat the news. "Dave won't be here tonight he is going to Sollux's." Karkat nodded and John's phone buzzed again, the text being from Sollux this time.
- Ju2t heard from ED about hiim and KK. Tell KK II'm 2orry for hiim, he won't an2wer hiis phone. Oh and Dave 2ay2 2orry two.
John text back an ok and locked his phone. "Sollux and Dave said they're sorry for you," John told Karkat.
"Tell them I said thanks," mumbled Karkat, taking his now empty mug into the kitchen. John text Karkat's reply and then looked at the time, seeing it was around 10.
"Hey Karkat, you can sleep in my bed if you want. I'll sleep in Dave's bed," said John. Karkat thought about offering to take Dave's bed, but he really didn't want to in Dave's bed. John's bed sounded much better, especially if John was there too. Wait what? Karkat mentally slapped himself at the thought and simply nodded to John.
"That'll be fine," he said. He followed John into his room and John began to rummage through one of the drawers of his dresser. He pulled out the smallest of his shirts he could find, which would still probably be too big, and a pair of pants and tossed them to Karkat.
"I'm going to go take a really quick shower," said John, pulling out some clothes for him and walking to the bathroom.
Karkat shut the bedroom door and pulled on the clothes John had given. the shirt was too big, hanging off his shoulders a bit but the pants fit alright, only a little bit long. He shut off the light then climbed into the bed, smiling at the ghostbusters bedspread. He found difficulty falling asleep so he stared at the ceiling.
After a little while he heard the bedroom door open, allowing a bit of light to come in. Karkat sat up, seeing John walk in. When he noticed Karkat was still awake he seemed a bit startled.
"Oh Karkat, you're still awake! I thought you would be asleep!" said John.
"I can't sleep," muttered Karkat, burying himself in the blankets again, leaving only his head out. John smiled and sat next to Karkat, running his fingers through Karkats messy hair.
"Do you want me to tell you a story?" asked John with a smile.
"Do I look like I'm 5?" growled Karkat, glaring at him.
"Fine I'll just leave then," said John, standing up. Suddenly the thought of being alone terrified Karkat and he grabbed John's wrist, stopping him from walking.
"Fine tell me a story," said Karkat. John simply grinned and sat back down on the bed, sitting against the headboard and putting his feet on the bed. Karkat moved so his head was right next to John as John ran his fingers gently through his hair.
"Once upon a time their was a brave adventurer. This adventurer had a very long blue cape that billowed behind him in the wind as he traveled. He was also the worlds best prankster. This adventurer had traveled all over the place, but had recently come into this kingdom because he had heard of a tragedy that required fixing. The beautiful, although often angry, princess had been captured by the big bad king of the sea. He was known for hating the inhabitants of the kingdom and had now taken their princess. The adventurer knew it was his job to find this princess. He traveled throughout the kingdom and gathered information on how to get there. He eventually got a device from a shopkeeper that would allow him to breath underwater so he set out in search of the underwater palace. After swimming around for hours he was exhausted and about to give up, but then, in the distance, he saw the peak of a tall castle. He swam over to it and discovered the beautiful hidden kingdom of the sea king. He snuck inside and eventually found his way to the throne room. In the corner was a small cage, containing the princess in a bubble of air so she could breath. She noticed him before the king did he gestured for her to be quiet. The king was lounging in his throne, playing with his large gun. The adventurer retrieved his trusty giant hammer and managed to sneak behind the throne. He hit the king over the head with his hammer before he was noticed, knocking him out. He then swam over and retrieved the princess, who was very grateful and kissed his cheek. He got out of the palace safely and brought the princess back to the kingdom. All the people of the kingdom were so happy to have their princess back. The princess was so grateful she decided to marry the adventurer and they lived happily ever after. The end." John looked down to find that Karkat had already fallen asleep. He smiled and carefully got off the bed, trying not to wake Karkat. Before he left though, he turned and placed a kiss on Karkat's forehead.
"Good night, Karkat," he whispered before leaving the room and going to sleep in Dave's room.
"Good night, adventurer," mumbled Karkat, smiling in his half asleep state as John left the room.
