The gunshots rang out all around the area. Karkat froze as soon as the order was shouted. Gamzee had looked up and closed his eyes, accepting his fate. Though, what happened next was not what most were expecting.
A few people hopped up between the duo and firing squad. One guy with a sword, red gas mask, sleeveless black shirt, black pants and white long shoes. Another with a green gas mask, sleeveless gray shirt and green vest, with golden guns, gray shorts and gray shoes. A woman wearing full red, hood pulled over, wearing a white mask. One more woman wearing blue jeans, black shoes and black hoodie, with a blue mask.
The one with a sword deflected bullets, slicing them in half, making sure they didn't stray into the crowd. The one with the guns shot at the ones sword guy missed, making them stop. The women grabbed ahold of Gamzee and Dave. "Don't let them get away!" Jack shouted.
Swordy lifted his mask. "Later, fucker!" Dirk said to Jack, and all four of them threw smoke bombs that covered literally the entire area.
"The fuck just happened?" Karat said, coughing.
"They were saved." Rose said.
Karkat looked at her weird. "Let'th jutht get outta here." Sollux said, leading Karkat away from the area.
A couple minutes of walking and they were back at the gov. building. "Question is, are our rooms still ours or not?" Karkat said, as they walked in.
"Karkat! Sollux! Rose!" Kanaya said as they walked in, "I've been waiting for you. Was not aware Rose was with you." she continued, giving Rose a hug.
"Yep. Fuckasses tried to kill Gamzee and Dave, but things got complicated." Karkat said.
"Complicated?" Kanaya asked.
"Yes. They were saved by four people, two females and two males. But I have a feeling we know them all." Rose said.
"Let'th jutht go to our roomth, grab our thingth, and get out of here. We're going to meet up." Sollux said.
"Huh? Meet up with who?" Karkat said.
"You'll find out." Kanaya said, giving a wink.
Karkat grunted but followed them to the elevator. "So you all have been living here?" Rose asked as they went up.
"Yes. Karkat is pretty high up in the official ranks, but not enough to make a sizeable difference." Kanaya said.
"Why does he work so hard?" Rose asked.
"Hard to fuckin' explain." Karkat said as the elevator opened.
"We'll go too KK'th room first." Sollux said, leading the way.
A minute and they're standing in front of Karkats room as he gets his key out. He put it in and unlocked it. ( ;] ) "Kan, I'll help KK gather what he needth, you get Rothe up to thpeed." Sollux said as Karkat walked in.
Kanaya nodded. "Very well."
Sollux walked in with Karkat.
After 15 minutes Karkat and Sollux had gathered a few changes of clothes, cleansing necessities, and other items. "Got all ya need?" Sollux asked.
"Yeah, let's fucking go I guess." Karkat replied.
The door had been kept open, and as Karkat walked out, he looked to the right, stood there for a second, then slowly walked backwards, back inside the room. He facepalmed. "What ith it?" Sollux asked.
"Look for yourself. Not even twenty minutes and they started already." Karkat muttered, palm still to his face.
Sollux looked at Karkat weird then took a step out, looked over, turned on his foot and walked back in. "Of courthe in thith time of crithith." Sollux muttered.
"Let's just get your shit and let them have their moment." Karkat said, walking out and to Sollux's room.
Sollux followed, looking over to see Rose and Kanaya still making out. He shook his head a little, then went to his room. "It'th open." he said as he got there.
Karkat opened the door, then the two proceded to grab belongings.
When they were done, they walked back to where the love-doves were. "Where the fuck did they go?!" Karkat said, looking around.
"Pretty thure I know." Sollux said, walking over to Kanaya's room.
They all lived on the same floor. "Are we getting any other fuckers before we head out?" Karkat asked as they walked.
"Nope, but we'll meet thoon enough." Sollux replied.
They got to Kanaya's room's door that was slightly open. "Do I even WANNA look?" Karkat said.
"You know you do." Sollux replied, laughing.
Karkat shook his head and punched Sollux's arm. He sighed, and opened the door slightly more, peeking in. The only thing he saw were.. clothes. Clothes. All over. "You go in and look fucktard." Karkat told Sollux.
Sollux smiled. "Why?"
"Just.. Go."
Sollux shrugged then walked in. He looked around. "Damn." he said.
He heard a noise on the couch. "Karkat, go check by the couch." Sollux said, hoping it was going to be what he was thinking it was, trying not to laugh.
"Fine, look in the other room." Karkat sighed.
He walked over to the couch. "Sollux.."
"Yeth?"
".. You're an asshole."
Sollux laughed. "Excuse us." Rose said, covering her chest when Karkat walked by.
"Fuck.. Sorry, just fucking meet us wherever the fuck we're going." he said, blushing as he walked out.
Sollux followed, laughing. "Where the fuck are we going?" Karkat asked as they walked out of the building.
"Jutht follow." he replied, leading.
"Assholes. Everyone." Karkat muttered, thinking about Gamzee then the others.
...
"I owe you bros a motherfuckin bunch." Gamzee said, sitting on a couch.
"Just get me a new sword and we're even." Dirk said, inspecting his dented sword.
"It's all good Gamzee." Jake said.
"As long as you're both ok." Aradia said.
"Better be getting paid." Vriska muttered, sitting on the couch.
Gamzee smiled. "Thank you all."
"It's nothin, you're our bud after all." Dirk said.
"Hehe.. Well, then now what're we gonna do bout this whole mess?" Gamzee said.
"Well, we're not really sure, since, ya know.." Jake nodded at Dave, "Dave's not in the right mind, and I'm pretty sure we couldn't think up anything half as good as him."
"Well damn.." Gamzee sighed.
"Where's Jane, by the way?" Dave asked Jake.
"She's waiting for Kanaya and Rose until they're.. Finished." Jake said.
Vriska snickered. "And John is almost here with Karkat and Sollux." Dirk said.
A knock came at the door. Jake got up and opened it. "Hey there." John said.
Sollux walked in. "GZ?! Dave?!" he said.
"Yo." Gamzee said, smiling.
Dave paced. "Glad to thee you're both ok." Sollux sighed happily.
"You too, brother." Gamzee said.
Karkat walked in next. "Hey there fu-" he started, interrupted by Gamzee giving him a huge bear hug.
"I've missed ya brooo!" Gamzee exclaimed.
"Me too you fucktard, now let me down!" he said.
Gamzee complied and set him down. Karkat hugged him right after. "I've been worried about you, asshole!" he said.
Gamzee smiled. "Me too, bro, me too."
The two's hearts were filled with joy.
"Guys, sorry to ruin this reunion, but we need to split up again." Dave said.
"What? Why fuckface?" Karkat said, his heart dropping.
"Jack. If he knew you both were in the same place at the same time, we'd all fucking die." he replied.
Gamzee sighed. "It's probably true, and it's better to be safe rather than sorry."
"But.. We just met up again!" Karkat said.
"After this shit is over with, we'll catch up." Gamzee said, smiling, "Now then, Dave, who will be on my and Karkat's side?"
"Sollux, Equius, Vriska, and John will accompany Karkat. Me, Dirk, Jake, and Nepeta will accompany Gamzee." he said.
"Where will the rest of us be?" Aradia asked.
"Tavros will be our eyes and ears, seeing he's all techy. The rest will be in another location until all of this is over."
"Got it." Vriska said.
"Vriska, Aradia, would you mind taking Karkat and Sollux to the other location?" Dave asked.
"No problem." Aradia said, walking to the door.
"Sure." Vriska said, getting up and following Aradia.
"You better not fucking die." Karkat told Gamzee.
"I won't bro. I told you, we'll catch up when this unfortunate shit's over." Gamzee said, smiling, and hugging Karkat again.
Karkat hugged him back, not wanting to let him go. The second they met up, they had to split. Karkat seperated then followed Sollux, Aradia and Vriska out. "Well, Gamzee, I had Jane tell Nepeta to come over and for the others to stay where they are. Have Kanaya introduce Rose as an associate."
"Nepeta?" Gamzee asked.
"Yep. Since we know you're fond of each other, you'll be spending the night here, seeing as any-fucking-thing could go wrong." Dirk said, still looking at his sword.
Gamzee blushed and Jake laughed. "Pretty much."
Dave nodded. "I'll be busy finishing the plans, Dirk needs to locate some swords, and Jake is going to help him along with finding guns and ammo."
"Speaking of which.." Dirk said, standing and sheathing his sword, "I'm gonna get started on that." he said, walking out.
"Wait up!" Jake said, following.
Nepeta walked in. "Hellooooo. You needed something, Dave?" she said, smiling at Gamzee.
"Yes, Nep, you wanna stay the night here with Gamzee?" Dave asked straightforward.
"Uhm.. Night.. Here.. Alone?.." Nepeta stammered, blushing brightly.
"Yep. I'll be thinking things through, and everyone needs some rest. Thought it'd be nice for you guys to spend some time together, seeing as our lives may be able to change forever."
"Great mood setting." Gamzee commented.
Dave smiled. "Shush. You'll thank me later." he whispered, "So, yes? Yes." Dave said, walking out.
Gamzee laughed and Nepeta stood there, looking down. Gamzee stood up, walked up to her and hugged her tight. "Gamzee.." she whispered, hugging him back.
Gamzee smiled and sat on the couch, Nepeta sitting next to him, laying down, her head on his leg, Gamzee's hand on her stomach. "This is all so stressing." Gamzee said.
Nepeta sat up, leaning against Gamzee. "I know, me too.. But it must be much harder on you.. Seeing Karkat after all this time, just to be seperated just as soon as it happened."
Gamzee sighed. "Yeah. But it'll work out. I'm sure." he smiled, kissing her on the cheek.
She blushed brightly. "You're so beautiful.." Gamzee whispered.
She blushed more. "R..Really?" She studdered.
"Oh.. did I say that out loud?" Gamzee said, smiling, "but yes.. Really."
Nepeta eyes lighted up, and she closed them, leaning her head towards his. His heart started racing. He closed his eyes and leaned in. Their lips met in the middle. Nepeta's arms wrapped around his neck, his hand rested on her leg. They pressed their lips together harder, turning it into a makeout. Nepeta sat on Gamzee's lap, keeping her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist. Their hands started feeling each others bodies, pulling each others hair here and there. As Gamzee gave her hair a small tug, she let out a small moan. Nepeta stood up, took Gamzee's hand, pulled him up then led him to another room, to a bed. "Was the couch not comfortable enough?" Gamzee asked.
She sat him down. "Not for what's next." she said in a hushed voice, looking nervous.
"Huh?" Gamzee said, the thought not clicking in his mind.
She proceeded to remove her shirt. "Oh." he said, his face going brighter than it's gone before.
She sat next to him, removing his shirt, then kissing him again. "Gamzee.." she said, blushing.
"Hmm?" he replied.
"I.."
"I love you."
Nepeta stared at him. He was smiling. "I love you too.." she said.
Gamzee stood, leaning over to kiss her, then set her on her back.
(let's not go down this road, you know what's gonna happen.)
...
Karkat sighed as they sat there. "What'th up, KK?" Sollux asked.
"I'm just wondering.. Where's Terezi?"
"Well.." Tavros said, looking up from his computer.
"Well what?" Karkat asked, fearing the worst.
"She was injured earlier, she helped us pull together the whole saving process." Aradia answered.
"Oh.. How?" Karkat asked.
"Well. While we saved Gamzee and Dave she was set on getting you. She was.. kinda.. Blinded.. By Jack." Vriska said.
A chord snapped in Karkats head. "Blinded?" he almost shouted.
"Calm, Karkat." Sollux said.
"Please, uh, you'll get a chance at, uh, him tomorrow." Tavros said, looking back at his computer.
"Right now, rest. You'll need it. Terezi's recovering. Tomorrow when we get this shit done, you can see her." John said.
Karkat sat there. But she can't see me, he thinks.
