> BLUEKAT: 8E THE CRIPPLE

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Characters: Karkat Vantas (AU) and YOU.
Setting: Infirmary
Format: I'm gonna go brackets, because I'm lazy.
Summary: Karkat's still healing from Vriska's attack, and now he's feeling even more paranoid than usual.
Warnings: Karkat's paranoia is also pretty crippling, give him a minute to calm down

[Being in the infirmary for a week has really done a number on Karkat's psyche. Truthfully, sitting still for this long is really starting to get old, but considering the hospital staff won't talk to him, he's unbelievably afraid of getting up and walking around. So he simply stays, staring like a zombie at the ceiling, pupils slightly shrunken into their sockets.

He has to get out of here. What if Vriska snaps again? Or worse, what if Terezi snaps? WHAT IF THE WHOLE TOWER WANTS HIM DEAD, WHY THE FUCK IS HE STILL HERE.......

Pull it together, Karkat, you're being a nooksucking idiot. Keep calm and lay still.]

Don't know. I guess once my ribs heal a little better?

[Closing the eye nearest her finger. Not going to mention he's kind of nervous about trying to stand.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

Lame.

[She rolls over on her side to face him.]

You must get so bored.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Pretty fucking much.

[...oh he's still hugging that book. Gonna take a second and slip it under his pillow.]

Now I have something to read, at least.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Grinning!]

See? I am amazing!

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

You're ok, let's not get carried away.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Dramatic gasp!]

Just okay? Karkat, you are hurting my feelings!

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

You're a big girl.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

You are so heartless. How do you live with yourself?

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

I almost didn't remember?

[He paws at her face with his uninjured arm.]

Sheesh, you're so sensitive.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[She giggles again, grabbing for his hand.]

It's okay. I know I am your favorite person here!

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

[This time he lets her, rather than jerking away instinctively.]

Wow, we're all about the flattery tonight.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Look at that grin!]

You aren't denying it.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

I don't do favorites.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

You're lying!

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

Nope.

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[She grins, lifting the hand she's holding and using it to pap his forehead.]

Just admit it, Karkat.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

[Deadeying. Haven't you learned anything, Terezi?]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[She's just smiling at him. His life is so hard.]

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

[Nope, still being cagey over here. He finally has to glance away rather awkwardly.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[SIIIIGH. She tugs on his hand. Her life.]

Stop that.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

I'm not doing anything!

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

You are acting all cagey and uncomfortable!

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

I'm not uncomfortable or cagey, thank you very fucking much.

[Holding his chin up proudly.]

[foretolds.livejournal.com]

[Kind of hard to look proud when you're covered in bandages in a hospital bed. She rolls her eyes.]

You are always cagey.

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

[WOW LEAVE.]

The fuck is that look for?

[...it was a look right. He saw the facial movements, but its kind of hard to tell when she's rolling her eyes.]
