Sollux spray painted Nepeta's coffin with greens of all sorts as Equius watched, his temple vein throbbing.
" Any doodleth of Kittieth?" Sollux turned around to face Equius.
Equius nodded," Yeah, Nepeta would love a cat drawing on it." He felt depressed thinking about how she looked when he sat beside her, her face was bruised, her eyes were glossy, her arms banndaged and broken, and then the heart monitor, beeping, beeping, speeding up, and then dieing as she smiled faintly and then stopped breathing. Sollux had been there in the background, watching Equius at first as he sat down, stroking Nepeta's hair as she weezed.
" I watched her too you know." Sollux spoke up and Equius looked over, apparently confused.
"what?"
" I watched you thit down with her the first 5 minuteth, but I heard Terezi and Karkat come in, tho I went to meet them." Sollux was doodling a blue cat on the coffin as he spoke," And I'm thurprized thee left like dat, We all thought thee'd actually die becuase you hugged her to hard"
Equius actually chuckled.
" Bye sollux."
" Bye Equiuth."
Karkat pulled on his uniform as the microwave went off, letting him know his fruity poptarts were ready.
" JOHN! GET US SOME PLATES YOU LAZY ASSHOLE!" Karkat shouted, and heard John squeak as he slid off his bed and hit the ground.
The sound of the microwave opening let him know John was getting to it as he came out, his red sweater basicly hanging off his skinny frame as he woke up sollux," Sollux."
" Yeth Kk?"
" Get you're ass out of bed."
" Okay Kk."
And with that, Karkat walked out, only to run into John's dad.
" Hello Karkat." John's dad smiled happily," How are you?"
" Happy with a side of fucking eggs." Karkat growled his usual reply to the old man.
He looked hurt," Snappy are we?"
Sollux came up," In the happietht way."
John's dad snorted and walked out the door," See you guys later!"
Karkat sighed and grabbed his plate off poptarts, but then paused as he saw an icing clown face on it.
"what...the fuck?" Karkat said softly as he spotted Gamzee molesting John and his poptarts as well.
" GAMZEE! I don't need your help!" John kept his poptarts close.
" Yes you do! honk. You always need my miracles bro." Gamzee looked a little sober at the moment," C'mon John, give me the motherfucking plate! HONK!"
The teacher looks up and calls out," Mrs. Nepeta Leijon?" Dave tensed along with Terezi's grip on her cane ( which caused it to make a splintering noise ), and Equius's jaw.
" Ma'im, Nepeta won't be joining us at school anymore." Terezi sounded like she was about to kill herself as she spoke," So you can mark her off the list." Equius was gritting his teeth and stared ahead, Dave murmuring helpful phraises to him as the teacher's eyes narrowed," And why will she not be joining us? Has something happened? A death in her family-"
" SHUT YOUR MOUTH NOW YOU STUPID IDIOT! SHE'S NOT HERE BECUASE SHE'S DEAD!" Equius snapped his desk as she said the word's 'death' and 'family' in the same scentence, and he stormed out, breaking the door knob as he went.
Dave and Terezi stood up and ran out after him, hoping they caught him before he snapped someone's neck.
Terezi rounded a corner and stood stock still as a scent hit her nose, strong, and...tears," Dave!" She called over to him," This way!" And they jogged down the hall, stopping at the scene of a destroyed wall of lockers, backpacks, and a very tourtured looking Equius.
A few days passed, and Halloween day hit, the day of Nepeta's funeral.
Rose laid a kitten plushy on Nepeta's chest and bid a farewell to the cat girl. Next came Equius, who bent down, and very lighty, felt her jaw and then like Rose, bid her a word of farewell.
Aradia stood at the pedistool, her journals scattered as she sniffled and decided to forget them and speak freely," Well, uh, I know Nepeta was deffinatly Equius's best friend, and I'm sure she also liked the rest of us, but I'm not sure. I'd be sad if she hated one of us, other than Gamzee since he did kill her once, no offense Gamzee! And since i'm pretty sure this speech sucks, I'll let Eridan speak now."
Eridan stalked up and had a can off tuna," I brought this can of tuna since it was Nepeta's favorite, and I'll probaly be bringing it every year. She wwas a ssmall thing, but really cuute and cod, she was nice. Um, I'm sure this fish'll be tastey, so here ya go Nepeta..." He tossed it into her cascet, and it landed on her shoulder, slidding off till it was next to her cheek.
Rose collected the jounals Aradia left and tossed them in the fire, burning every doodle of kittens she and Aradia drew to ashes.
" Bye Nepeta...see you there in the god lands..." Feferi whispered and Eridan tookher and Aradia home to Dave's, while Gamzee, Sollux and Karkat went home with John, Vriska, Kanaya, and Tavros drove to roses, while Equius and Terezi went with Jade.
Authors note: okay, so like, you can kill me if you need to, but do it nicely please? We're coming close to SolluxXKarkat :D !
