Karkat was worried. He hadn't heard from Equius in a few hours, which could have meant that he was just hunting, but he feared it was much worse. And wherever Equius went, Nepeta followed. This was what worried Karkat. No matter how much he tried to deny it, he was beginning to have some red feelings for the little cat-troll. He couldn't bear the thought of losing her. "Fuck, snap out of it Karkat. There's work to be done." He muttered to himself. And so he set off to find the pair of Moirails. Karkat stumbled into the room, having tripped in the doorway. "Shit." He muttered, then he saw it. On the floor at his feet, there was a puddle of olive blood. He felt his heart stop. Karkat slowly looked up to see Equius lying on the floor with a smile on his face. Then he saw Nepeta slumped against the wall, still breathing shallowly with blood pouring from her skull. The usually angry troll ran towards her with tears flowing down his face. "Damn it Nep, don't do this, don't die on me. Fuck, Nep, please." Nepeta slowly blinked up at him. "Karkat, I... I love you." She managed to whisper. Karkat blinked away tears and pressed a gentle kiss to her lips. "I love you too, Nepeta." Nepeta took her last breath with a wide smile on her face.
