♋ 003 [ Closed ]

Characters: Karkat Vantas ( OU ) and Gamzee Makara (OU)
Setting: Hallways and wherever they end up in the thread.
Format: Action spam
Summary: Backdated to Karkat's first hallucinations. Gamzee bumps into his moirail. Who should really be in bed.
Warnings: Swearing! Disgusting palebro stuff



[ he's going insane. like John had been a few days ago. he just knows it. Karkat's shaking on his feet as he walks through the halls, absolutely lost. the rational side of this think pan is telling him that he's not in the meteor. there's no way he can be. yet this time he has woken up to that same scene. the computer lab... dead bodies.

the seeing red had been one thing. terrifying. sleep had been the only way to escape it. but now there's this. things, images swimming around in his vision. things he should have prevented but hadn't. shit that should never have went down if only he had been the leader he had thought he was... the red just is a fucking insult and he knows it.

and all he can do is getting away. closing his eyes and hands in his hair. trying not to vomit, though the sickness in his gut is also from not eating yet today and the flu shit going around. Karkat already feels hot all over. breathing ragged breaths, he's leaning against a wall. yet all he can see is that stupid dingy gray in the dim lighting provided by his mind. coughing and hacking along the way, he just can't stop. going back to bed means going and seeing that all over again.

and he can't.

he just fucking can't. ]

[Gamzee had somehow wedged himself between his recuperacoon and the wall of his room, deciding that was an ideal spot for a nap. It actually wasn't all that uncomfortable, being crammed up like that, even if he usually liked to sprawl out whenever he had to sleep out of slime. After visiting Karkat earlier, he'd come down with a nasty fever, one he can't say he wasn't expecting, honestly. It made him a little on edge, and it wasn't a lightweight as far as colds went, but, like he'd said - small price to pay. Gamzee had slept enough of the day (night?) away, however, and decided now was as good a time as any to drag his useless bones out of bed.]

[Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he wrapped himself in his (now clean!!) jacket and squeezed out of the doorway into the dorm halls, where he was immediately greeted with the sight of his best friend plastered against the opposite wall.]

[Well, all right then.]

[Upon closer inspection, Karkat didn't look too great. He was clammy, and pale, and Gamzee's face took on a bit of concern as he closed the space between them.]


Hey, bro? The fuck you all doin' motherfucking wanderin' around here like all what a scraggly sick thing you're being, huh?

Yeah...

[The look on Karkat's face and the tone of his voice are very familiar. Only, Gamzee had never seen or heard it come from Karkat before - he'd familiarized himself with them because they were the same looks and tones he'd given himself.]

[It didn't take long for Gamzee's expression to change significantly, from a sleepy concern to no-nonsense. He grasped Karkat's shoulders lightly in case he decided he wanted to topple over.]


Brother, what all's fuckin' deciding to be makin' motherfucking camp up in that pan yours, hmm? You feelin' okay?

[Sick!? As in, heaving bilesack juices all over the place? Gamzee really was the worst person to be saddled with as your caretaker. His philosophy on the matter?]

Let them nasties out, best friend.

[He gave Karkat an easy smile, rubbing at the kid's back while trying to coax him toward the bathrooms. If they weren't already so close to the dorm lavatories, he would have just encouraged him to heave on the floor. There was no point in trying to race for the toilet in this place.]

Think you all can be making it to the little friendly load gaper, motherfucker? He be all gettin' his most patient of waits on for your ass at the end of the motherfuckin' hall, here.

Sure... sure fuckin' thing, brother.

[He was beginning to get angry. Who the fuck did this to him? Who the fuck was mak--]

[Wait, what?]


Red?

[Gamzee slipped an arm under Karkat's and across his back - a slightly awkward position given their height disparity, but he'd try to make it work - and encouraged him forward.]

No motherfuckin' red here, bro. Just the same old dingy shit like what's always was motherfucking up and being here. Step at a time. You got this, motherfucker.

[He was half-tempted to just chuck the guy over his shoulder and carry him there - but that would probably do more harm than good.]

[Gamzee continues helping Karkat along, down the hallway they go, but he's looking at him, now. Studying his face. The kid is definitely still sick. He's like an even hotter fireball in Gamzee's hold, and he looks... Frankly, he looks like he's gonna lose his cookies.]

Close your motherfuckin' eyes, then, bro. I got you. Here.

[Maybe he did need to take further action. Sliding his arm across Karkat's back, Gamzee maneuvered himself at an angle, bending slightly to catch his free arm straight against the back of Karkat's knees.]

Alley-oop, my brother.

[In as swift and fluid a motion as he could manage, Gamzee lifted Karkat from the ground and shifted him until he lay bent in his arms.]

Up here. Close them fuckin' eyes.

[He repeated, flexing the shoulder nearest Karkat's head to indicate he rest it there. As soon as he was situated, Gamzee continued to walk.]

Best not toss them cookies on me, yo!

[Karkat wasn't in the shape to respond to his jokes, and the laugh following it soon faded.]

Mmn...

[Gamzee pulled a face, intentionally averting his gaze.]

Think it be fuckin' mostly 'cause I was all up to get my motherfucking shit kicked the fuck out more all than it be 'cause I was gettin' my motherfuckin' hygienics on, probably.

[He continued to sheepishly avoid eye contact, kicking open the bathroom door with his foot and stepping inside. The toilets weren't far from the entrance, and once in front of a stall, Gamzee gingerly set his moirail back on the ground.]

Still feelin' the wigglies, best friend?

[And why can't he?]

"Be okay" be lots motherfuckin' different than "am okay", motherfucker.

[Gamzee chided, dragging Karkat along into one of the stalls. He... really didn't know what to do now. If it were him in this position, he'd shove his arms down this throat and force himself to barf out everything his body wanted him to. For now, though, he popped a squat on the floor, holding Karkat against him and bringing his long legs up to keep the boy secure. If he needed to upchuck, the toilet was right next to them.]

Chillll, best bro. I got you. You feel them sickies comin' you just pull off a sick fuckin' one-eighty, you feel me, yo?

[Gamzee ran his nails across the crown of Karkat's head, dragging his hand down softly and feeling the burn of fever against his fingertips as he did so.]

Mmm...

[His own fever had just come around recently. He couldn't say he wasn't expecting it, by spending so much time with Karkat earlier in the week. It definitely didn't seem to be as bad as Karkat was experiencing, though.]

[He shook his head.]


Ain't nothin' fucking more than what's makin' a motherfucker get his hots and sleeps on, mostly.

[His hands kept scratching through Karkat's hair. Even though Gamzee had a fever himself, he was still cooler than the hot water bottle he was holding in his arms.]

Ain't no time to be thinkin' on them motherfuckin' things, neither, bro. Come the fuck on, just hush.

[Okay, honestly, that noise and visual were making Gamzee want to add a little lunch of his own to the toilet, but he closed his eyes and swallowed it down, continuing instead to run his hand along Karkat's spine. He was tempted to rise up and encourage him further, but then he thought about if he would want someone up in his fucking grill when he was shooting the nasties out. The answer was no. He stayed put.]

Eurgh...

[He swallowed again, until it seemed like Karkat was just about finished. He looked so pathetic, there. Pressing his face against the toilet seat with his hot, leaky eyes. Gamzee leaned forward, resting his hand on Karkat's leg and giving it a gentle rub.]

They all motherfuckin' outta you, brother?

[Wordlessly, Gamzee's hand closes around the one on top of it, tugging it lightly to bring Karkat back to him.]

I'll get you some fuckin' elixir again later.
