So! This is Chapter 4 and I just love where this is going! it's gonna be sad, but good hopefully. It is gonna escalate quickly from here. I don't know how many more chapters it's gonna be, but there will be at least two more. Enjoy! And for those of you who read my other story, the reason this one is updating is because I am not bothering to have it updated. Blood and freedom is being edited to make it as good as it can be.

For those of you haven't read my other story, it is called Blood and Freedom and you should totally go read it.

Enjoy,

...

Karkat and I met on and off for the next few weeks, not always escalating in the same way our third meeting did. Actually, we hadn't done it since then. KK, as I had taken to calling him, was too shy to do it again. But he had asked me to meet him again and again, and that Thursday, exactly3 weeks after our bathroom stall adventure.

I met him at the bar as usual, but upon seeing him I sort of sensed that something was different. He looked happy enough but something was off...

I dismissed as a silly notion and took my seat next to him. He immediately leaned against me and I felt a rumbling coming form him.

"Are you purring?"

"No... Fuckass..." He slurred.

"How long have you been here?

"Two hours... maybe three?"

I looked to the bar tender who shrugged.

"He's had a bit to drink, I had to cut him off."

I sighed and turned to KK. "Hey man, you okay?"

"Ye-yeah...Just *hic* just a lit *hic* a little *hic* I'm wasted..."

"Yeah..." I sighed. "Come on... let's take this party to my place. Maybe sober you up a little." I stood and took his hand. He stumbled off of his stool and leaned against me as I walked him out the door and to my apartment. Getting him up the stairs was a lot harder than I thought it would be. He kept stumbling over his own feet and nearly pulled me down the stairs several times. After what seemed like an eternity we made it to my apartment.

I unlocked the door and took him in, sitting him on the sofa. His head lulled on his shoulders.

"Thit man, it'th only thix o'clock."

He merely moaned in response. I sat next to him and my nose instinctively wrinkled.

"Thit man, you thmell." I sighed again and lifted him up. "Let's get you in the shower." It was going to be a long night

I took him into the bathroom and started the shower as he leaned against the door. I walked over and started to take off his clothes. He giggled and tried to get mine off as well.

"KK, not now. You need to shower first."

"Then join me."

I sighed. I didn't feel like arguing so I let him undress me. When he'd gotten me down to my boxers I removed his pants and then began moving his shirt up. I froze when I saw the dark purple, almost gray skin that was being revealed.

I tore his shirt of and stared at his chest, covered in bruises.

"The fuck happened?!" I demanded.

He just looked away. "I don't wanna talk about it..."

"Who did thith to you!?" I practically screamed. "KK, Tell me! Who hurt you?!"

He simply looked away from me. "My boyfriend..."

The words hit me like a ton of brick dropped from a skyscraper with knives attached to them to add that extra sting. "W-what..."

"My... Boyfriend..."

I didn't know what to think until a blinding rage filled me. Rage and hurt. "Tho... I wathn't... I mean, I was jutht a toy!?" I demanded loudly. "Jutht the guy you uthed to ethcape the fucking abuthive boyfriend?!"

"Sollux?! No!"

"Then why didn't you leave him?" My gaze bore into him and I could tell he was hurt, but I was hurt too and angry.

"I... couldn't..."

"Why not?"

"BECAUSE THIS IS WHAT HE DID TO ME FOR WORKING LATE AND COMING HOME AT 12 AM! WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WOULD DO IF I LEFT HIM?!" Karkat broke down and cried. His statement jarred me from my anger and my blindness and showed me how wrong I was being. He didn't need me to grill him. He needed me to be a friend. "Sollux... I want to be with you..."

"Thit... Let's get you bathed..." I guide him to the tub as he drops his boxers and steps in to the shower. I take off mine and get in after him. I pick up the soap bar and reach out for the scrunchy. I get it lathered up and then I slowly lather him up, being careful and gentle on his bruises. I feel him shiver beneath my hands and I try to hold back the feelings. I feel so much pity for this man and I almost can't take. I finish lathering his legs and I stand up.

"Sollux... I..." I cut him off by pressing our lips together. I felt him moan against my mouth and press against me. He slowly took the scrunchy from me and began to lather me up, breaking our kiss. He spent a little longer than necessary on certain parts but it was greatly appreciated.

We finished our shower and I guided him to my bed. I lay him down and towered over him before leaning over him and placing an arm on either side of his head. He just looked up at me as I leaned in and connected our lips. He moaned against my lips as I pressed our hips together. I slid my tongue into his mouth quickly retracting it and rolling off of him and pulling him on top of me.

His high pitched squeak made me smile. He straddled my waist and looked down at me sheepishly. I urged him on by moving my hips up into his ass. He blushed and rubbed back against me. I moaned as I grew harder with anticipation. He lifted up and positioned himself over me.

"Take your time." I said, noting his hesitation. He nodded then slowly pressed down on me, his hand guiding me in. I moaned as I felt his tight warmth around me. I barely heard his moan over mine. He slowly lowered all the way, getting used to me. I forced my hips to stay still. When he started to rock and whimper, I asked "Ready?"

He nodded and I thrust up slowly as he began to ride me, His back arching. I thrust in different directions, looking for that brief moment of intense pleasure roll across his face. I watched as with one thrust his eyes went wide, showing off his gray rings. He moaned out loud.

"Shit! There..." I smirked and started thrusting into his spot, glad to have found it again so easily. He leaned over me and dug his nails into my shoulders. I moaned as he bent my cock inside of him when he leaned over. I took advantage of the new position to get deeper into him. He panted in my ear sexily as I felt his member throb against me. I grunted and and thrust faster, feeling his nails dig in deeper. The pain drove me on. I grabbed his hips and thrust into them harder.

He screamed out in my ear as I felt him cum against me. I smirked and thrust harder, reaching between us and grabbing his sensitive shaft, stroking it. He whimpered submissively. I felt myself grow warm inside of him and stroked him faster. His nails dug in harder, drawing blood. I groan as I loose it inside of him, feeling the immense pleasure spread through my body, making my muscles go weak and spasm. I groan and connect our lips harshly and sloppily, my tongue forcing it's way into his mouth. I pulled him flush against me and stroked him, my arm rubbing against our stomachs. He bit my lip as I felt his body shake and the warm seed spill against our stomachs again. Karkat slowly pulled himself off of me and moaning.

"I love you." He whispered into my ear before kissing my cheek and rolling off of me. I smiled and felt a small blush creep onto my face.

"I love you too."

I looked over at him and found that he had already fallen asleep. I smirked and slowly got out of bed so as not to wake him. I went and got a damp cloth and came back, sitting next to him and cleaning up his stomach and chest. I sat for a while, inspecting his bruises. He looked so fragile in his sleep. How could anyone ever hurt him.

Tears started to well up in my eyes and I dropped to the floor next to the bed and cried silently. I had to save him.
