You hold his hand and look up at him, your head is resting on his lap.
A plan you made out of anger. It was reckless yeah, but it had to be.
It might have been borderline suicidal, ok not even borderline it just was suicidal, but you had to do it, for your friends.
They needed you, you could feel it, they needed their knight to protect them and shield them from the hurt.
But now.
You smile up at Karkat.
He's alive somehow.
Crazy right.
You feel one of his tears fall on your cheek.
You slowly reach up and wipe another off his cheek.
"Bro, it's aight, I'm the Knight of Time, I've got time to spare" You say confidently.
"SHUT THE HELL UP" He yells back, you can tell he's an emotional wreck. "WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THIS, YOU CAN'T JUST KEEP DYING ON US YOU PRICK, WE NEED YOU, I FUCKING NEED YOU, YOU'RE OUR FRIEND, HOW MANY DEAD DAVES IS ENOUGH, HOW MANY."
You look in his eyes.
"I'm their shield, to protect them... To take away the pain" You whisper weakly, the blood loss is slowly getting to you.
"YOU'RE OUR FRIEND, WE FUCKING CARE ABOUT YOU, ALL YOU'RE DOING IS HURTING US MORE" He keeps crying while shouting. "I've lost too many friends because of my mistake, I... I'm sorry, I did this, I made English, and Jack, I made them all, I couldn't even be a good leader."
The two of you are silent for a moment as he keeps crying.
Your vision starts to fade.
Your name is Dave Strider.
You'd do it all again, just for them.
