Chapter 2 Visiting Hours
"Unbelievable! I can't believe you!" your boyfriend, who is also your current manager, paced back and forth before slamming two magazines in front of you. You looked over one of the magazines which had you kneeing that annoying fan of yours in the crotch on the front page, and then the other one showed a picture of you kissing John with the words 'Child Molester In Training' underneath it. "Well…at least they got my good side" you smiled before taking a sip of your coffee.
"This is no joking matter!" Karkat roared. "Do you want to ruin your reputation?" he slammed his hands down on the kitchen table and stared deeply into your eyes. You sighed softly and placed your coffee mug on the now shaking table. "You know that's not what I want" You stood up and crossed your arms. "Then you better get it together, Stop fucking screwing around! You know how serious this is!" he growled.
You walked over to him a small pout on your lips before jumping up and wrapping your legs around his waist and your arms around his neck. "I'm sorry" you smiled, "oh no, nope, I'm not in the mood Vriska, you're seriously pissing me off" he rolled his eyes but held you up none the less. You leaned down and kissed him, "I'm sorry" you whispered before kissing him again. "You have (kiss) no idea (kiss) how mad I am (another kiss) at you" he glared up at you.
"Mad enough not to make out on your bed?" you looked down at him and tried not to laugh. "Well…not that mad" he gave a small smile before kissing you and carrying you to his bedroom.
You grinned when you were pushed onto the bed and giggled. "Why are you so good at getting yourself out of trouble?" he rolled his eyes before pulling your shirt off and then taking his off as well. "Oh you know. Talent" You smiled teasingly before sliding your hand on the back of Karkat's head and pushing it down so that his lips met yours. He pushed your legs apart sliding in between them so to get closer. You loved doing this kind of thing with him, he was usually always so angry and stressed, but when you two were like this, it was as if he was a completely different person. You rubbed your hips against his before biting down on his bottom on his lip and then moving to his neck were you began trailing small kisses. You smiled hearing his breathing quicken, and knew it wouldn't be long until he was begging you to stop the foreplay, or vice versa.
Karkat snapped his hips forward causing you to moan softly, he liked that reaction and continued his movements even as he moved away from your neck and began nibbling on your ear. You squealed softly, your ears were definitely sensitive, more so than other parts of your body, you had no idea why, but they just were. "I'm sorry what was that?" Karkat smirked, "What was what?" you asked innocently.
Karkat answered your question by nibbling on one of your ears again, you squealed almost louder this time and panted softly. "Knock it off asshole" you whined, Karkat laughed softly and opened his mouth to speak, but quickly shut it hearing the phone ring. "Nooo" you groaned and quickly grabbed the phone, "Vriska give it here! It's probably a business call" he groaned. You shook your head before answering the phone and jumping on the bed, "Hello? No I'm sorry isn't here, he's too busy being a dick" you spoke in a deep voice trying to copy Karkat's.
Karkat laughed softly and stood up on the bed as well, "That's not funny! You'll get me in trouble" he hissed with a small smile. "You should probably call back later! I think he's in the next room with some…what do teenagers call them these days…oh uhm…whore?" you grinned before holding the phone a couple of inches away from you and moaning. "Oh not there! Mmmn!" to make it sound more realistic you began banging on the walls.
Karkat chased you around the room mumbling curse words under his breath, but he wasn't actually mad, if anything he was more amused. You quickly slid the phone down your pants and grinned evilly. "Oh real mature" he hissed as he went for the second phone in the living room. You pouted and hit the wall with the heel of your foot. "You're no fun" you crossed your arms. Karkat came back into the room, "I have to go work for a few hours…they're short a guy so I told them I'd help out" you watched as your boyfriend pulled another shirt on and fix his hair.
"Butt-head, you shouldn't have answered the phone" you sighed. "I didn't, and his Whore did" he rolled his eyes. "Hehehe" you giggled, "You're such a trouble maker" he smiled. "I try" you shrugged and grinned before pulling Karkat by his tie and kissing him. He kissed you hard before pulling away, "I'll see you when I get home" he grinned before quickly walking out of the room. You groaned loudly hearing the door close behind him, "Fuck ass" you whispered to yourself before jumping and letting out a slight moan at the sudden vibration in your pants.
You quickly pulled the phone from your pants and held it to your ear. "Hello?" you answered curiously, though you had a feeling you already knew who it was. "Hey you know if you get tired of waiting around for me you could probably pleasure yourself with the phone. Just dial the home number and stick it back in your pants" Karkat laughed. You growled loudly, "Jerk!" you roared before hanging up and throwing the phone across the room.
You huffed and threw yourself onto the bed, there was no way you were going to sit around all day and do nothing, that would drive you crazy, you needed fresh air, but there was no way in hell you would be able to go anywhere without your body guards, they followed you everywhere. You would just have to come up with some kind of plan. After changing into some new clothes you headed out the door where you ran into the guards. "Hey guys" you smiled nervously.
There was no expression on their faces…none once so ever…they weren't having any of your shit today…none of it. "You guys really need to learn how to smile" you shook your head before heading for the elevator, the guards following close behind you…no surprise. You moved out of the way allowing the guards to go first, they thought you would jump in the elevator with them of course, but they were so wrong. You quickly hit the up button and watched a surprised expression wash over their faces. "Cya!" you waved just before the doors closed.
You decided to take the stairs, if you had waited for the next elevator the guards probably would have caught up to you. You made your way downwards and and into the lobby. "Going for a walk Ms. Serket?" the old man who worked at the front desk asked a bit surprised, he had never seen you without your abnormally large body guards. You quickly nodded before exiting the hotel all together and making your way down the street and a couple blocks over.
You took a deep breath and sighed happily, "Freedom" you cooed. You began thinking how wonderful it would be if every day was like this. You loved the idea of being independent. As you walked your mind began to wonder back to when you talked to that John Egbert kid. You wondered how he was doing and what he was doing. You couldn't get that derpy smile of his out of your head; he was a cute little thing. You surprised yourself a bit, you didn't really like kids, but for some reason this one was an exception.
You found yourself in front of a large building, you had never been to this side of town before, you had a feeling you had walked too far, but you would figure out a way to get back home later. You pushed the doors to the building open and walked in like you owned the place. You noticed several wheel chairs seated in the corners; you secretly wondered where their owners were. You approached the front desk and cleared your throat wanting the women's, who was typing away on her computer attention.
"May I help you" the women stared you up and down, "Yes, I wanted to know the information behind this building…it's rather large and I guess it just kind of sparked my interest" you smiled. "It's a children's hospital" the women spoke in a monotone voice before looking at you annoyed. "Look are you here to visit someone sweetie? If you aren't I advise going home" the women smiled. "I'd bet you'd like that wouldn't you" you grumbled under your breath. "Huh?" the lady raised one of her eyebrows which looked as if it had been drawn on with a messy pencil. "John Egbert…I'm here to visit John Egbert" you spoke quickly.
"I'm John Egbert" a small voice came from behind you. You turned around and stared at the young boy you had met at the comic convention. "Mr. Egbert you're supposed to be in bed" the women groaned. John smiled, "It's lovely to see you again Ms. Serket" the boy beamed ignoring the old wrinkly lady at the front desk. "It's good to see you to" you smiled and knelt down so you were John's height. "How'd you find me?" Egbert tilted his head and stared at you curiously. "Honestly, I have no idea, I was just kind of wandering around and I ended up here" you laughed softly. "I think its fate" John smiled, "Oh you do?" you raised an eyebrow. John nodded and began to walk, you followed behind him. "It's just like in book 3 chapter 4 when the Commander is supposed to save the princess, but he doesn't know where to go…he just follows his heart and he gets there" John spoke softly.
You smiled, "I'm glad you think so highly of my stories" you sighed. "Well don't you?" John looked over his shoulder glancing at you before turning and entering a small room with a bed and a tv that hung from the wall. "Not really" you shrugged simply, "Then you're crazy" John climbed up onto his bed and snuggled down in the covers. "Maybe" you smiled, "oh I think you are, you must be if you don't like your own comics" John stared, completely fixated on you.
"Don't make me blush" you rolled your eyes and sat at the edge of the child's bed. John laughed loudly before coughing hard and putting a hand on his chest. You stared at him surprised and a bit frightened, John held up his hand signaling for you not to worry, but his coughing didn't dwindle. "S-Should I go get one of the nurses?" you quickly jumped up. John quickly shook his head before gasping and coughing again, "I'll be right back!" you sprinted out of the room yelling for help.
It was quiet in the hospital and your voice seemed to bounce off the walls, in no time two small nurses ran into John's room already knowing what the problem at hand was. A small oxygen mask was placed over Egbert's nose and mouth, you watched as he breathed in deeply his little chest rising and then falling. The coughing almost instantly stopped, you were glad, the boy literally sounded like he was choking. The nurses left the room minutes later figuring john was alright.
You walked back over to the boy's bed and held his hand. "Did I scare you?" he asked softly, his voice a lot weaker and kind of scratchy. "Me frightend? Nah" you smiled, John grinned and squeezed your hand. "So where's your mother?" you asked softly and looked around. "At work…she usually calls around this time to see how I'm doing" he wheezed. You could feel your eyes start to water, but you held your tears back. John was suffering, but he played it off, he was so brave, you could never be like that.
"Oh I see" you mumbled not really sure what to say. John nodded slowly, talking most have been getting harder for him. "My throat hurts so bad…As well as my chest" he whispered. "Maybe I can have the nurses bring in some medicine" you smiled but frowned as the small boy shook his head. "I have my medicine already" he gave a small smile. You looked around and blinked when you didn't see it, John slowly raised his hand and pointed at you.
You rolled your eyes and laughed softly, "Just call me Cough Syrup" you sighed, John laughed softly, some of the color seemed to return to his cheeks, he smiled brightly up at you. "Can I have a kiss?" he asked bluntly. You thought for a moment before leaning close and kissing him. "Wowza" he grinned when you pulled back. "Yea Yea, now go to sleep" you smiled. "You'll leave" he spoke sadly, "Yes, but I'll come back tomorrow" you poked his nose which he wiggled in response.
"So this isn't just a one-time visit?" he sat up only to lie back down when a sudden burst of pain exploded through his chest. You smiled and nodded, "I'll be a regular visitor, I'll come here so much you'll get sick of me" you grinned. John shook his head and sighed, "I could never get sick of you" he whispered before closing his eyes and drifting off to sleep. You watched over the boy for a few minutes before standing up and making your way out of the hospital where you covered your mouth and let the tears finally escape your eyes as you sobbed.
