a/n: OMG! This took so much longer than I intended to, to post. My life just suddenly got really crazy and shit. With everyone (except my friends) around me being huge douchebags and me getting really depressed by it.\ I hope you like this chapter and I'm going to try and post the next chapter faster (no promises though).

You are now Karkat. You are now currently lying on a hotel bed cuddling with John. You don't really know if you are dating, but that isn't important right now. The TV is on and you are somewhat interested in it. You are still pondering who could have been calling John. You've never seen him so tense and worried looking. He still refuses to tell you who it is, but you know you'll pry it out of him eventually.

You hold him closer glad you found him and straightened everything out. You lean in for another kiss. Almost immediately John starts kissing you back. You deep the kiss to find he had parted his lips. You slip your tongue in and he does the same. You are both exploring each other. After a few minutes of intense kissing you go back to cuddling and "watching TV". Then suddenly a question comes to mind.

"HEY! ARE WE JUST GONNA STAY HERE FOR A FEW DAYS, OR ARE WE GOING TO GO HOME?" You ask.

"Let's go home. I miss it."

"OK. DO YOU WANT TO GO NOW OR..."

"Yeah sure hold on let me just get my stuff together." You watch as he walks around the room bending down to pick up the few stuff he brought. Soon he has all his stuff together and you are walking out the door. You guys are soon driving home while holding hands. Once you get home you both climb into bed. It's been an interesting day. You close your eyes and descend...

"No! Please! Please! PLEASE STOP!"

You bolt upright awoken by the screaming. It takes you a minute to realize that it's John. You are suddenly very worried. You jump out of bed and race to John's room. Once you get there you fling open the door. The sight you are met with is very, very worrying. John is tossing and turning screaming in his sleep.

You run over to his bed and shake him trying to wake him up. You realize shaking him gently isn't working, so you shake him hard once. He shoots up in bed, and you barely dodge him when he does. He blinks seems to see you and starts shaking and crying. You sit on the bed next to him and pull him into his arms trying to calm him down. After a few minutes he slowly starts to calm down.

"ARE YOU OKAY?" You ask gingerly.

"Yeah, sorry for waking you up." He says bashfully into your chest.

"IT'S FINE. DO YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT?"

"Not right now. Maybe another time, it involves some stuff I'm not ready to tell you yet."

"OKAY!" You maneuver both of you to a position were you are laying down but you still have your arms around him.

"What are you doing?"

"I'M SLEEPING HERE! IS THAT OKAY?"

"Of course "

You both close your eyes snuggling each other. You feel him cuddle even closer to you, and then he relaxed and went to sleep. You drift off soon after, hoping to keep John's nightmares away. Before you fall asleep you are thinking though. You have a feeling the nightmares are tied to the person who called at the hotel, but you're probably wrong. You'll ask Egderp about it later. You fall asleep holding John and feeling content.
