Short chapter! ^^' That's all I have to say, love you all!


Karkat had made a weak attempt to make it seem like he hadn't been crying, but it was clear that he had been. Staring into the mirror at himself he bit his lower lip. Even he was beginning to pity himself. Was he really this pathetic that everyone he knew had forgotten?

Shaking the thoughts away he left the bathroom before he punched the mirror. He hoped he was just overreacting like people said he did. Seeing John's door open made the troll pause but he continued on, ignoring it.

Standing in the doorway to his room was the boy waiting for him."What the fuck do you want Egderp?" he growled, trying to sound threatening. It probably wasn't going to work or convince John, but he could try.

John had paused, leaving them to stare at each other for a few minutes it utter silence. "Karkat… I umm…" He was stuttering, so fucking annoying but cute. The bell for midnight sounded and he felt his heart drop. There went his Wriggling Day, completely wasted and not a word from anyone.

"Stop your mumbling dumbass; I'd like to get to bed." Fuck, alright he would give the guy a chance. It wasn't like he knew what time it was. Did he realize the mistake? Probably not, but Karkat secretly hoped that the human had.

John was grinning at him, which made him feel a bit fuzzy on the inside. "We need to hang out sometime soon." Karkat felt his heart skip a beat. Fuck. That was all? Yeah it was nice to hear him say they needed to hang out, but that still hurt.

Karkat looked down slowly. "Oh," he stated simply before pushing past John into his own room. "Whatever, just go to bed already John." Weakly pushing John out the troll closed the door.

No, that was ridiculous for him to ever think that any grace would be handed to him. It was over. He would leave tomorrow, screw that asshole. For now he needed sleep and hopefully not have a nightmare on his last night here.
