You sit looking at Karkat, having just finished your harrowing tale of your past. You are afraid of how he is going to react. You sit there in silence after you had just told him the name of the monster. You continue sitting there looking at each other for another few minutes. You are trying to hold all your emotions in, willing yourself not to cry.

"I'M SO SORRY! I HAD NO IDEA!" He finally says.

"It's okay. You had no way of knowing." You are still not sure how he feels and are getting worried.

"IT'S A LOT TO WRAP MY HEAD AROUND." You were afraid of this.

"It's okay, I understand. I wouldn't want to date me either after that. I'll understand if you want me to move out, too. I'm sure Dave would let me live with him, and-"

He cuts you off "WHAT?"

"I said-"

He cuts you off again "I KNOW WHAT YOU SAID, DO NOT FUCKING REPEAT THAT SHIT. I LOVE YOU! YOUR PAST IS NOT GOING TO CHANGE THAT! I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU NO MATTER WHAT. UNDERSTAND?" You start tearing up.

"Karkat-" That's all you get out before your voice breaks and you start crying. Almost immediately Karkat's arms are around you. You bury your face in his chest and start bawling your eyes out. You continue like this for another five minutes. Finally you start to calm down. You pull away and look into his beautiful eyes.

"Th-thank you. For loving me even after you heard the truth."

"ALWAYS."

You and Karkat had a wonderful couple of days after that day in the kitchen. You hung out, went on dates, and kissed a couple times. All in all it was a great week and your fears seemed to just leave you.

You two are cuddling on the couch watching shitty TV, when there is a knock at the door. You climb out of Karkat's lap and make your way to the door. You open the door without looking through the peephole, which to be honest was something of a mistake.

You open the door see who it is and stumble back into the little table causing the vase to crash on the floor. Karkat comes running as you sit there staring at the sudden guest. Karkat is looking at you, trying to help you up and determined your injuries. You are still staring at the door. It's him. He came back for you.

He looks down at you, smirks and says "Hey, John. I missed you, baby."
