Dave held Karkat's hand as they walked down the sidewalk.
"I love you so damn much Karkat," Dave said as he kissed the trolls cheek, grinning at the red blush that he loved so much spread across Karkat's cheeks.
"Shut up Dave!" Karkat squeaked as he hid his face in his sweater. Dave chuckled and nudged Karkat playfully.
"Oh come on Karkat! You know you love it and even if you deny it, I know deep down, you really do love it," Dave teased Karkat before he looked up, his apartment building looming over him. "Whelp, I guess this is where we part Karkat." He looked at the troll and smiled. Karkat then pulled Dave close to him, kissing his lips softly. They stayed like that for a little while before they pulled away.
"I love you Dave," Karkat said as he started to walk to to his place. Dave smiled and turned into and headed into the front area of the apartment buildings that was fenced off, closing the gate behind him. Dave was about to open the main door of the apartment complex when he heard Karkat yell out something, the resounding bang of a gunshot echoing in Dave's ears. Dave turned, seeing someone run down the street. He looked back over and saw Karkat already in a pool of blood on the ground. Dave felt his heart sink into his gut. He jumped over the fence, darting to the fallen figure in front of him as fast as he could. He fell to the ground next to Karkat, picking him up into his arms as he yelled for help as loud as he could. Tears streamed down his cheeks as he held Karkat close to his chest.
Karkat looked up at Dave, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth. "Heh, I always knew I'd take a bullet for your red eyed ass," He said, chuckling slightly then coughing up blood. Dave clutched him closer to his chest, his sobs echoed through Karkat's eras as his eye lids grew heavy, forcing him to close them. Dave held him as he heard sirens in the distance, but they seemed like they couldn't get there fast enough.
"You're going to be okay Karkat. Breath. Just breath. Hey! Open your eyes! Come back to me Karkat! It's okay, your okay. Just wake up! Please! Wake up! Don't do this to me! You can't do this to me! I love you too much Karkat! Please come back to me Karkat!" Dave was now yelling as he held the limp troll in his arms.
Dave didn't know how much time had passed, but paramedics were taking Karkat away from Dave, people surrounded the entire scene, and cops were picking Dave up and guiding him to a cop car while asking him questions. It was too much for Dave and as soon as he was placed inside of the cop car, he broke. Sobs and angered screams echoed from the car and down the street.
