== Karkat

"John, Gog, will you stop putting your fucking hand in front of my face?!" Karkat was in the middle of an intense racing game with Sollux, and John was being a dork trying to mess him up.

"Hehehe… but you get so angry sooo easily! It's cute!" Karkats face turned a bright red and he glanced towards Johns face, momentarily distracted from the game. Gog, he was so cute. With his adorable bucktoothed smile and cheesy jokes. But he "wasn't a homosexual". Why did he have to tease him like this, making comments like that?! His anger flared up, and he shoved his hand in Johns face, pushing him away off the couch.

"Just GO AWAY!" John crossed his arms, pouting.

"Well fine then, I have to go to the village to help farm mushrooms anyway." With a huff, he stood, walked towards the door of their apartment, put on his hood and left. Karkat didn't know why he spent so much time with the salamanders, but it made him happy. Someday Karkat wishes he could make John happy too. This last thought came with a blush as he stared at the closed door.

"Hello? Thtill playin kk?" Sollux waved his hand in front of Karkats face, having paused the game when Karkats car kept crashing into walls.

"What? Oh, yeah." He shook his head, clearing his mind of his flushed thoughts for John. A smile crept up on Solluxs face.

"I thee how it ith. Don't have time to play with me when dear Johnny boyth on your mind" He smirked, amused at his best friend.

"When are you going to confeth?" Karkat glanced at him in horror, with yet another red tinted blush playing across his cheeks. Then his face turned hard and furious yet again.

"None of your fucking business" He almost mumbled.

"Whatever" Sollux turned his head back to the game, and they resumed. As they were playing, Karkats mind shifted back to John. Could he ever love him back? Should he even pursue this or was it futile? He sighed heavily, focusing on the game when….

"KARKAAAAAAT!" Terezi raced in the room, stopping in front of the TV, blocking their view.

"GOG! CAN'T YOU SEE WE'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF A…. a…." He looked at her face, usually brimming with confidence it was now stained with tears and distressed beyond belief. But what was more shocking was what she held in her hands.

"Is that a… a head?" he asked in horrified disbelief. With the mess of blond hair and unmistakable pair of shades, he could clearly see it was Dave. Terezis hands were coated in his vibrant red blood, and she clutched his head like it was the only thing real in the world.

Sollux jumped up from where he was sitting on the ground and backed away, the games music still playing in the background.

"Wha…whath going on?" Sollux stuttered. Karkat looked expectantly at Terezi, wanting her to explain.

"I... I walked into his room, and there was blood everywhere..." A few sobs rose from her throat. "It was everywhere Karkat… and in the middle of it was… was this" With that she fully broke out into sobs, sinking to her knees, crying into Dave's hair.

Karkat took a moment to process this.

"But… he's a god tier, shouldn't he be resurrected? He didn't do anything heroic, did he?" Apparently she had already thought of this because she spat out with venom that was rare for her:

"How can he heal himself if his BODY isn't AROUND?!" She stood up with newfound strength and anger.

"WHERES GAMZEE?" She demanded from Karkat, who sank into the couch in response to her outburst.

"Why?" She growled the next words.

"He left a message. On the walls. One word. In Dave's blood. Honk."
