AND THEN I REALIZE THAT I FUCKED UP BECAUSE JOHN WAS WITH KARKAT AND THEN DAVE AND KARKAT- FUCK
You scrolled through your phone, when you heard a voice.
"Oh you fucking bastard." You looked up to see John as a puzzling look spread over your face.
"What?"
"What? I'm talking about Karkat you dumbass!" You blinked, standing up and looking at John.
"Okay, what is it?"
"You slept with him. I know it."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"Karkat told me." You sighed, of fucking course Karkat told him.
"Look, dude, I'm sorry. It was an emotional time and there was a lot going on at the moment."
"Well, you can have him now, we broke up." You looked at him, seeing the anger and pain in his face. "And just so we're clear: We are NOT friends anymore!" You didn't get to react before he stormed off, going to his seat across the room. You heard a burst of laughter as four, maybe five, girls walked in with Karkat. Googly-eyed and talking and hugging him. You noticed John staring over at his direction before turning back. You sat back in your seat, hearing their conversation.
"Here, Karkitten~ I got your books."
"Karkat, I hope you have a good time in this class, sweetie."
"Listen here you cutie, you are so adorable!" You nearly gagged, god they're treating him like a baby. You turned around and saw all four of them kissing his face at once before they left, waving and speaking in unison.
"Bye Karkat, see you at lunch~!" He waved back, a smile on his face. Since when did HE become mister popular?
This continued for the next few months, the growth rate of the girls changing to the point nearly all the single and strait girls in the school were spending time with him. Making him lunch every day, walking him to class, you have to admit that he's hot shit. But that wasn't why he was being treated like this. You walked past his area where he ate lunch, when you heard them speaking.
"Karkat, sweetie, you shouldn't hurt yourself like this."
"Yeah, it's harmful and it's not worth it. I know, I used to do it myself."
"Jamie, you used to hurt yourself?"
"Yeah."
"Oh my god, you poor thing."
"Well, none about me, this is Karkat we're talking about." You heard a sniffle and a bunch of 'aw's before you saw all the girls shift to hug Karkat, who hid his face in one of the girl's shoulders.
No wonder he's surrounded by them, it's all pity.
You went to walk off, when you felt a hand grab your shirt.
"Dave, we all saw you, sit down." You sighed, sitting down in the hoard of girls, soon being shoved over to Karkat. It wasn't long before they made it so Karkat was sitting in your lap as they all crowded around, hugging the both of you.
"Dave! Can I talk to you for a second?" You turned and saw Terezi looking up at you.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I saw you with Karkat's groupies earlier today, and I was wondering: What were they doing?"
"I don't know, some cuddle fest? Either way, it seems like it's mostly pity-surrounding. Since he hurts himself all the time."
"So you don't know what's going on in his life?"
"No? What is it?"
"His dad killed himself and he and his brother are now living with their uncle."
"What?"
"Yeah, some of the girls know Karkat from the move. So he's been staying some nights with them since they know his uncle."
"Shit, I should have talked to him about what was going on."
"He won't even mention it, it took me a few weeks and a trip to Sollux's computer class to have him hack the servers to get to see what was going on. It's bad."
"What do you mean?"
"His uncle is the only living family member Karkat and his brother have that's immediate. If he goes, they either go back to Toronto, or they go all the way to Belgium to live with their aunt."
"Belgium!?"
"Yeah, their mom's French. She died from bone cancer or something. A lot of people were saying rumours that she was pregnant with Karkat when it started to develop and he was slightly affected by it."
"Shit."
"Yeah, but it's not true. It was the week after he was born when it started to develop. She died when her ribs pressed against her lungs and suffocated her."
"Let me guess. Hacking?"
"Sollux is really good at it."
"I can tell." You started walking off, soon hearing giggling as you turned and saw Karkat talking to a blonde girl in the hallway. You watched as he kissed her softly, she had kissed back before you continued walking off.
Over the next month and a half, all you heard around the halls was that Karkat was sleeping with so and so and 'omg I thought he was with this one girl' 'No, he got with her best friend after a week'. Karkat's life went from being a few girls talking to him like a baby to him sleeping with nearly every girl in school. And apparently he's the best sex any of them had ever experienced. Damn girls.
About a month later, Karkat was talking to a girl in the hallway, she was sobbing into his chest. Looks like mister popular got some poor girl in trouble. By this time, you figured that it was time to tell Terezi about this.
"Karkat has a lot of issues."
"Bullshit, he's fucking all the girls in school!"
"Can't blame them, he's really good at pleasing a girl."
"YOU SLEPT WITH HIM TOO!?"
"It was a party, it only happened the one time."
"Oh my god, Terezi."
"It's not like it's going to hurt anyone."
"He probably got some sort of disease or something! Or got some chick pregnant!"
"Like you actually care about him. Didn't you sleep with him when John was with him?" You went to open your mouth, growing quiet before leaving.
Haha, I forgot all about my fanfics and just today (a day where I'm home sick) I remember them. Haha. Fml.
