The first thing you did when you and Dave arrived back on Earth was call Kankri on the phone.
"Karkat?" he said in surprise You were never the one to call him first.
"Kankri, hi. I am back on Earth safe and sound."
"Oh thank goodness. Is everyone else okay?"
"Yeah, in fact. Everything turned out better. Listen, Kankri…"
"Yeah?"
"Alot happened while we were gone. I was even thinking about my mom a lot and I just want to say… Thank you. F-for taking care of me when she wasn't there." you sniffed. Fuck, you hate crying. Especially when your uncle can hear it.
"Karkat, I am grateful that you said that." Kankri responds, "And I know my sister would be very proud of you. She always was."
You sniffed again and felt a tear trail out of your eye, "Yeah."
"I love you Karkat." he said kindly.
"Love you too. I have to go.. Bye." you hanged up the phone before Kankri could reply.
"That was intense. You okay, Karkat?" Dave wiped the tear off your cheek with his thumb.
"I am. I'll be fine." you nod your head.
"Okay." Dave gave you a quick kiss.
You and Dave headed to your apartment and when both of you watched one of your favorite movies: The Runaway Bride, you didn't really pay attention to the movie and let your mind processed the recent events that has happened.
The first thing that comes to your mind is your wings. Apparently they only appear on Derse and never on Earth. Even during the night. What a bummer, you were hoping to fly around Earth's sky, but you guess Derse's will do. Maybe you and Dave will visit Prospit one day. You heard many stories from your mother of how beautiful the cities were there. You'll have to ask Jake when he comes back from Prospit. Jake is exploring the planet, and you know Dirk waits eagerly for him to come back to Derse. You can imagine what they'll be like when they are together again.
Rose offered a job to Nepeta for the Gay Bar and she gladly accepted. Nepeta is a Rogue there, and will find any other runaways to tell them the news of a new Queen.
Roxy agreed to only open the portal to Derse at midnight for several minutes so it will decrease a possible chance of humans finding out. Though Roxy is all for interspecies communication, she believes that not all humans are ready for the big reveal that creatures exist. So she is taking it slow. Who knows? Maybe a human will fall in love with one when they find one.
As for the Gay Bar itself, everyone arrived back safely. All not wanting to leave the sanctuary of creatures in Earth, so Rose continues to be the leading Seer of the Bar with Kanaya by her side
Now you open your eyes and notice the beautiful stars out the window. You wonder if Derse is up there somewhere. Maybe the planets are closer than you think.
You feel an arm wrap itself around you, "Can't sleep?"asks Dave, giving you gentle pecks on your neck.
"No." you turn your body towards him and feel up his bare chest.
"Me neither." he cups your cheek and presses his lips against yours, and you willingly press your body against his. You love Dave so much. He has been with you through thick and thin. You honestly believe you will never get bored of him.
"I love you." your eyes glow red as you say that.
Dave grins widely, "I love you too." then he proceeds back to kissing you, and giving other kisses to your jawline. Love blooming in your heart
Your name is Karkat Vantas, and for the first time in your life you are proud to have the eyes of a mutant.
