Sorry it took so long to update, I've been busy with gymnastics and stuff, and I just got to updating, I'm trying to update, but I may not update again for a while, I'm sorry :)
Dave and Karkat went through the dance many times, and Karkat learned the flip to.
"Dude! You did it!" Karkat was beaming, Dave was kind, and happy even at a time like this.
"Dave, where are you going to go now?" Dave shrugged.
"John's place, or Rose's." Karkat sat down.
"I wish you could come back with me." Dave sat down next to Karkat.
"I wish to, but that probably won't happen." Karkat nodded.
"I guess." Dave rolled Karkat's sleeves up, and Karkat flinched.
"Just checking your scars, I'll show you mine to, if you want." Karkat grew excited, he'd never seen Dave's scars. Karkat's cuts were now pink, white, and tan. The word "mutant" still in his arm.
"Wow, your scars were deep, and now as promised, here are mine." Dave sighed, and started rolling his sleeves. His scars were jagged, white, pink, large. It was his whole story in those scars, the days where his cuts were scratches were good days, the deep gauges, and burns were for bad days. Karkat looked at them, and then at Dave's bright face.
"Your smile contrasts your arm." Dave looked at it.
"I know, but they'll be there to remind of the pain I've caused." Karkat hugged Dave.
"I really wish you all the best again, and I hope the wave of sadness passes." Dave smiled.
"I do to, we will make it out ok, we can still breathe, eat, and talk, we'll live." Karkat and Dave talked a little longer. The night was growing close, and Karkat went to bed early. Dave just went to his room, and cried. No one was there to comfort him, until Karkat heard him sobbing at 2 am, and walked over.
"Dave, please tell me." Dave chocked on his sobs.
"I can't ever go home, ever, my bro is gone, my stuff gone, my turntables, gone. I have nothing, and you'll be gone. Why did this happen to me?" Karkat sat next to him, and hugged him.
"I'll get someone." Karkat pressed the emergency call box, and a women came over.
"Dave, what's wrong?" He laid in Karkat's arms to comfort himself, and he was curled in a ball. Karkat explained to her the situation. She sat next to Dave and comforted him.
"Thank you Karkat for telling me this, you may go." Karkat left and went to his room. He tossed and turned and eventually went to sleep. He awoke in the morning to birds chirping. Dave knocked on his door.
"Bro, we should go." Karkat rose out of bed.
"Coming." Kaarkat slid on his favorite hoodie and opened the door.
"You look better, do you remember last night?" Dave nodded.
"Yeah, sorry bout waking you." Karkat shook his head.
"You're fine, you're going through hardships right now." Dave nodded.
"Let's go." They walked to the dinning hall, and sat down. Karkat looked at the food. Should I eat it, I mean yes I want to get better, but if I do, I'll leave Dave, and Ana will kill me. Karkat ate some food, and left the rest. Dave couldn't touch his food, he was in too much of a depressed state to eat. The meal time was over 30 minutes later, and the two walked out to the garden. Dave laid in the grasss.
"Do you ever wonder what would happen if we weren't stuck here?" Karkat nodded.
"I wonder how my friends are doing back in Alternia? Do you wonder about your friends, y'know John and Jade and Rose…" Dave nodded.
"I wish I could just see them." Karkat nodded.
"Same here." They sat for a while just looking up at the clouds, and asking each other questions, and answering them. The day was over quickly for them. Dave and Karkat slept soundly that night, and they were happy again. Dave hadn't touched a razor in over a month, and Karkat had been eating normally for a week now. Things were looking up for the two after years of pain. Karkat once looked out the window and smiled at the sun for the first time in years. He was once again happy. Another week passed, and soon came Karkat's last day. Dave awoke him in the morning again.
"Your last day here, are you happy?" Karkat shrugged.
"Well, that means I have to leave you, and everyone here." Dave smiled.
"I'll be fine Karkat, besides we always have pesterchum, right?" Karkat nodded.
"We always do." They smiled and walked down to Karkat's last breakfast. He sat in a different spot next to Dave like always.
"Last breakfast, you look sad Karkat, everything ok?" Karkat nodded.
"I'll just miss this place, that's all." Dave smiled.
"Tomorrow you'll be gone by noon, how'll I survive?" Karkat shrugged.
"Dunno, pesterchum probably." Dave finished his food, and motioned Karkat to leave with him, and so he did.
"We should run through the dance." Karkat started the moves, and Dave joined in later. They did the flip in sync, and then finished to. It was the first time they both did it.
"You wanna make video of it?" Karkat nodded.
"Yeah, sure." They made a video of the dance, and placed it on Karkat's phone.
"I'll watch it when I'm lonely to remember all the happiness you brought me." Dave hugged Karkat.
"I'll miss you so much dude, I won't have anyone to call bro anymore." Karkat awkwardly hugged Dave back.
"You'll survive it somehow, I know you will." They went to their class, and the two sang the loudest, they were happy again, and that's what they wanted. Dinner came soon afterward. They ate together, and then went to Karkat's room.
"Your room is so light, and it is so calm." Karkat nodded.
"I don't know what's so good about it. but everyone says that." They lay on his bed and talked again. It grew close to curfew.
"I'm sorry bro, I gotta go." Karkat waved.
"See ya in the morning." Dave shut the door.
"Sleep tight my friend, last night." Karkat fell asleep soon afterwards. Dave sat in his own room, and scratched at his skin. He just wanted a friend with him when Karkat was gone.
"I'm sorry bro, I didn't want this life, but I guess I now have it."
