Chapter Thirty-Four: Six More to Go

(Sollux's POV)

"Sol go talk to him, I think both of you needs it. He's fine, you said you hated him, wwhale not hated, but disliked him, but wwe all talked to him and he's fine, just go he wwants to see you too you knoww" I looked up at him when he said Karkat wanted to see him.

Why would he want to see an asshole who wanted this a while ago, he should be more concerned of Kankri not me?

He gestures the door with his head, sometimes I wonder why he's so nice to me, nut I don't question it, just nodding and standing up, opening the door and closing it, staying right there.

I looked at him and it made me want to cry for some reason, I wanted to hit him for getting like this almost willing, but also hug him close and never let go.

My emotions where always a two sided street, but for him it's kinda weird, he has bandage over his left eye, and more over the skin I can actually see from his hospital clothes, a cast over his leg and his arm is bandaged all around.

"Hey" I didn't register that as I was looking over more at his injuries the fucktard had.

"Sollux hey I'm not getting up and walking over there your majesty" I glared at him, now is not the time to joke around, he died for a bit and he's making jokes.

"Hey bee for brains are you going to keep glaring at me from that far away I can't move here, this hospital has nice drugs here, can't feel a thing" I felt disgusted at him for a moment, he died and got like this and he doesn't even care, doesn't care what he put us through, what inconsiderate bastard would make jokes at a time like this, I walked over to him, or I think I walked and continued glaring at him.

"What no thank you Karkat for saving my skinny ass that was about to be crushed over a shitty car" he said with a stupid big smirk on his face, the moronic douche, I couldn't control what I did next, but I felt he deserved it.

I slapped him hard across the almost untouched skin on the good side of his face.

Grabbed the collar of his shirt and I don't know what possessed me to feel this way or yell at him at that moment,

"Thank you, thank you? You fucking athhole how fucking dare you do that to uth, to me, I thought you cared about uth, but you go and do that I wath thuppothed to be the one that got ran over not you why, why, why did you thave me I would have been fine, but you go and try to be the hero like fucking alwayth" I yelled at him, shaking him a little, I felt wetness slip down my face, but right now I have no fucks to give.

I enjoyed that shocked look over his stupid broken face, even when he struggled to find words to say to me.

"Why, why, why did you do that you take uth from our thitty liveth and do all thith thit for uth for I don't fucking know why and then go and fucking make uth feel thpecial and then go and fucking die on uth, you almotht broke everyone becauthe of your thelfithneth, how could you do thith to me and do that to everyone elthe, you fucking athhole I hate you, I hate you, I fucking love you why would you go and die on uth, I don't even know if you're going leave uth again becauthe of your fucking condition they won't tell uth anything" at this moment I feel my voice cracking and hugged him close, feeling if I let him go he'll leave me, leave us again.

I felt some wetness on my shoulder, but didn't care, just holding him and running my hands on his back and in some of his hair, feeling that he was here, alive and warm. So very warm, just like always.

"Don't leave uth again, don't leave me alone you big thelfith athhole don't die on uth again pleathe don't" My voice still cracking, pulling back to look at him now, he's crying just like I thought too.

Next thing I knew my eyes were closed and felt his soft, warm lips against mine, he was stiff and shocked, but I didn't care, just pulled him closer then he started kissing back, pulling one arm around my form.

I just kept kissing him, pulling back for gasps of air, but not separating from him yet, I think he feels the same because whenever we did pull back a bit he started more kisses, this feels so wrong, but so right at the same time.

What's wrong with me?

He deepened it more and growled at the back of his throat, nipping my bottom lip and I had to pull back, panting a bit, so was he, he looked so cute flushed like that, even his heart rate is up I noticed. I had to laugh a bit at that, making him lightly hitting the top of my head.

"Shut the fuck up Captor, your fucking fault." He growled, blushing his adorable color more.

"You love it KK" I stuck my tongue out at him, looked back at his face fully I flinched a bit, before looking at my hands.

"Fuck" I remember.

I remember when we were six when it all started.

To when most of us were dead and KK and the others managed to win.

And to what a fucking douche bag I was to Karkat in this human life, it made me cry a little, I didn't notice until he lifted my chin and gave me a hopeful look, almost sad too.

"You alright Captor? Need me to call Eridan?" He asked, confused, scared, and hopeful all at the same time.

I didn't answer and just cried more and hugged him close.

"What the hell Sollux, you big baby what's wrong?" Same old Karkat, not giving two fucks about himself and worried about me. Just like on Alternia and the game.

"I'm thorry you thtupid pathetic lovable douchbag" I told him, smiling a bit.

Before he could say anything he just half-smiled back, since most of the left side of his face is covered.

"You look tho weird KK" I told him, without the nubby horns and little sharp teeth and sort of pale face, but it's also cute, suits him.

"Says the asshole blubbering right now, crying doesn't suit you, you look like you had a session with both Eridan and Vriska that you never wanted to happen." He laughed a little.

"Fuck you, you jutht look weird without thothe carrots on your head." And to prove it I put one of my hands on where they should be in his hair. I got a half growl, half purr in return.

"Fuck you asshat" But he still offered me his arm.

"I know, I'm thorry for the way I wath, not really me there" I frowned, just because we had our troll memories back, didn't mean I lost the human ones either. I felt a little pap and looked at him.

"Believe me I wanted to kill you too one more than one occasion, but I had to tell myself it'll all be worth it when I get the real you back, that and Eridan won't let me" He chuckled the last part, come to think of it, Eridan's right now my closest friend, go figure kinda scary now.

"Oh my gog don't tell me that, groth even more now that we're friends KK" I smiled at him.

"So how does it feel to have them back?" He asked, I think he's talking about the troll memories.

"A little weird, but I'm happy and I'm thorry I wath thuch an athhole KK, I thwear I would never be like that, unleth your being one…..then I'll retaliate then" I smiled and joked with him, going closer and kissing him gently.

He kissed back and I swear I felt little sparks dance on my lips.

Call me a sap, but screw you I just got my Vantas back with me.

"Love you" he whispered in between our kisses.

"Love you more"

~ Time Skip ~

(Kankri's POV)

I'm getting coffee with Cronus; he followed me after I was "missing" for a few minutes.

"So Kan, howv are you feeling nowv?" Cronus asked after a few minutes.

"Well considering the situation we just barely avoided thanks to Karkat's will to live so I am fine now" I smiled at my thoughts of Karkat, he was a strong little one just like Grandpa said he would be, He also said we are mostly likely the only ones to remember.

"Yeah…..so chief…..can I do something?" Why is he asking this, is it a trigger, a very offensive trigger?

"What is i-" I couldn't finish with his lips to mine, it was light and he had his eyes closed as mine where wide open, I have waited for this forever, I was not letting this go so easily so I kissed back quickly and deeply, this shocked him greatly because as I was closing my eyes his opened. This moment to me is wonderful, like it's just the two of us.

(Eridan's POV)

It's been awhile since Sol went in there so I went in, seeing them in a kiss.

"WWHAT THE?" I accidently yelled can you blame me; I've been with this guy saying he hated Kar and now he is making out with him, does he?

He looks at me though, not really scared or shocked, but sort of poker face like.

"Thup fith dick" He said.

"FOR THE LAST TIME STOP CALLING ME THA- wwait, did you just say… do you…? Kar does he..?"

"Yes he does Eridan" He smiled so fucking bright at me, then again he just got Sol back. I had to smile too.

"Wwelcome back lowwblood" I told him, hey we may be friends now, but he is still an ass.

"Fuck you, not me though" He laughs, snuggling up to Karkat. Aren't they cute together.

"Eridan if you don't mind we were kinda busy here, so go back to the others and tell them we got Sollux back" Kar asked me.

"Course, havve fun, but not too much, wwe are in a hospital you knoww" I told them before leaving out the door.

(Karkat's POV)

After Eridan fucking interrupted me and Sollux where doing some catching up to do. Speaking of which as soon as the door was closed I grabbed Sollux collar and pulled him to a rough kiss.

Can you blame me really?

He seemed to love it because he wrapped his arms around me and kissed back, so Eridan said not to have too much fun, well I'll just go as far as I can.

"Lie on your back" I told him, I was always the leader and he was just my little soldier.

He does what he is told and pulls me closer for a kiss.

I deepen it by forcing his mouth opened, he always loves that, I thank that his tongue was split, but now it is mostly at the tip, intertwine them for a fight for dominance and passion.

And of course I still win when he moans softly, I always loved those little noises he makes, no different now thank god.

He pulled me closer, moving one hand up to my hair and the other to my back, kissing back deeply.

I let my hands push some of my weight off of him, letting one hand travel to his thighs and spreading one leg, giving him a silent command.

He moans and gasps slightly and does it, giving my legs more space in between him and pulling up for air, a thin trail of saliva following me, panting slightly as I looked down at him.

He was panting too, looking up at me with those beautiful eyes, they may be a bit different, but it's still him, all of him and I love it.

I have my matesprit back. This time I'm not letting anything separate us.

A.N: Did not proof read it so don't get mad at me.
