[That makes him flush and he looks away, arms loosening a bit.]

Promise me you'll at least tell mum and dad about this. You can't keep them in the dark forever. Or at least mum since she's your Head of House.

[moirailcompass]

[At that she said up straighter and gave him a scandalized look]

No way! They'll just get upset and worried. I don't want anyone else to know, okay Karkat?

[selfhatred]

But what if something happens? Something worse that lands you in the hospital wing?

[He doesn't really want to think about that happening.]

They wouldn't believe that you just fell down the stairs or something.

[moirailcompass]

That's not going to happen. [She murmured sullenly, looking away from him and tugging on her hair]

[selfhatred]

[He looked the other way and sighed, rubbing the back of his neck.]

I'm just worried it will because I care about you.

[moirailcompass]

...I know. [Nepeta would have given him, or anyone else the exact same advice.] I know you're just trying to do what's best for me it's just.

[Just what exactly? Well she was ashamed for one. She wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people didn't already know about the bullying considering how fast the huge the rumor mill in this school was. Hell even if a good chunk of the student people didn't harass her directly she knew a lot of the things people said behind her back. So she knew if she went to her parents about this it would only be a matter of time before it reinforced everyone's belief that she was a stupid, freaky, pathetic child who couldn't take care of herself.]

I'm ok really. I'm use to it and if it ever gets physical then I'd put a stop to it.

[Karkat drew his knees up to his chest and draped his arms over them, staring up at the sky overhead. She shouldn't be used to it, and he honestly didn't mind getting detention for hitting the people that did it. If it protected her, then it was fine. He closed his eyes, sighing. It was her decision. He couldn't do anything but urge her to seek a way to stop it.]

You promise?

[moirailcompass]

[She held out her hand, extending her pinky to him]

Promise.

[selfhatred]

[He reaches out to curl his pinky around hers, a small but worried smile on his lips.]

I'll hold you to it.
