Want to give a big thank you to whoever recommended this on TV Tropes. Really made my day!
Karkat/Gamzee
It's over.
Karkat doesn't even need the Prince of Hope to know that things are hopeless. Aradia blew up long ago. Eridan got Feferi, then Kanaya got Eridan. Vriska got Tavros, then flew off and got herself killed by Jack. The rest have been Gamzee's doing. First Equius, then Nepeta. It seemed like Kanaya would have a chance, but even as a rainbow drinker she couldn't live through being torn in two with her own weapon. Terezi was next, and her teal blood still hasn't fully dried on Gamzee's subjugglator clubs. Sollux stopped breathing only minutes ago, and his body is still oozing mustard blood.
"So it looks like it's down to just you and me, best friend," Gamzee says in nearly a whisper as he approaches Karkat, who is backed up against a wall. He's clutching onto his sickle for all it's worth, even though he knows it will do little to defend him. "JUST MOTHERFUCKIN' YOU AND ME," Gamzee shouts, repeating himself. "So what do you have to say for yourself?"
Karkat instinctively tries to back away, but all he manages to do is press himself flatter against the wall, bringing him nowhere fast. He considers saying something – maybe to make his last words something to be proud of. But when he opens his mouth, he knows it's a moot point. He's absolutely speechless with terror and grief; his throat has closed off accordingly, and even if he could speak, he's too frantic to come up with anything meaningful. Instead, he stares his imminent death in the eyes, figuring that's the last leaderly thing he can really do.
"THAT'S NOT A MOTHERFUCKIN' ANSWER." Gamzee is shouting again, and Karkat can't help but flinch. "You know I did this for you." Quiet again; Karkat feels his stomach churn. "I SAVED YOU FOR MOTHERFUCKIN' LAST." Shouting, but Karkat wills himself to stay strong
He wants to close his eyes and hope it's over quickly, but how can he when the others have gone so bravely before him? It feels like almost an insult to all of their memories. All of them, even the former Gamzee, who went through the game sharing pies with imps before he was replaced with this monstrosity. If he had just been a better leader…
"I'm so sorry," Karkat chokes out. Famous last words.
"What the motherfuck are you sorry about?" Gamzee asks, his voice deceptively smooth as he crouches down to be on Karkat's level. "EVERYTHING WENT ACCORDING TO THE MOTHERFUCKIN' PLAN. It's just the two of us, best friend. NO MOTHERFUCKER WILL MOTHERFUCKIN' INTERFERE." Gamzee pins Karkat's neck to the wall with his club; it's not quite hard enough to suffocate him, but it's enough to keep him pinned. He doesn't even try to struggle.
"We've got all the motherfuckin' time in the world."
