> 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 think she has a lot of friends, and none of mine are here. The only one from my timeline that isn't a douchebag that was here was Harley, and he vanished a while ago.

[He subconsciously lifts his arms, eyelids drooping softly.]

[benigncancer]

What are you talking about? [Eyeroll. He shifts closer, having to wrap his arms around Karkat to place the bandages] You haven't made any friends since you GOT here?

[romcomedian.livejournal.com]

No, I mean my entire timeline is missing in action, save for fucking Lalonde.

[He practically spits his name, which causes a flinch when Signless moves around him again.]

[benigncancer]

Okay. [Signless says this calmly, crooking his lips] That doesn't mean more won't come. And even if they don't, you're still not alone. That's what I'm trying to tell you, which you would hear, if you didn't have your head so far up your nook.

[That entices an offended growl.]

I'm not a fucking idiot, Captain Bulgelicker. I know what you're saying.

[--wait, why is he even having this conversation? That's right, he isn't.]

[benigncancer]

[Signless grins] Then I guess we're friends.
