FIVE ♋

THEY'RE BOTH HERE.
I CAN'T
I CAN'T FUCKING DEAL WITH THIS.
MOM I COULD DEAL WITH BUT...
THIS IS JUST FUCKING BULLSHIT.

[OOC: Karkat's parents should be easy to spot among the other dead ones here. His mother was run over, her neck is twisted to the side and her stomach is sunken on one side, like her organs are missing. His father is the one shot full of bullet holes '^']

_{[Feferi is a little surprised when he pulls away, but she lets him go, withdrawing her hands to her lap. She watches him carefully, and smiles gently at his apology, reaching out to take his hand comfortingly in hers.]

[She's blushing faintly herself, mostly because his pain was almost enough to make her start crying.]}

I don't mind. Really. There's nothing to apologize for, Karkat.

[He stares down at the hand linking with his. It almost feels like it burns, because the last person who touched him like that was Jade. Karkat lowers his head to look at the floor, closing his eyes before barking out a short, sardonic laugh.]

This week sucks balls.

_{[Feferi just sits there, holding his hand, because he didn't pull away. Her heart aches at his laugh, and she squeezes his hand supportively. Her smile fades as she looks down at their hands as well.]}

I bet. ...I can't pretend to know what it's been like, but I'm still here for you. You don't deserve this. Any of it.

_{[And Jade's stupid for leaving you. But Feferi holds that part back.]}

Thanks.

[Karkat's voice is weak, dry. He reaches up to rub his hand across his face, taking a couple of deep breaths. He's trying really hard to steady himself, to keep himself composed and from breaking down like just then.]

After Jade breaking up with me and...that...it's...really good to hear that.

_{[Feferi digs a delicate little white handkerchief out of the pocket of her robes with the hand not holding Karkat's, and offers it to him to dry his eyes.]

[When he says that, she doesn't know what to say for a minute. She smiles softly and squeezes his hand.]}

Personally...I think you did the right thing, decking Strider. It's Jade's fault if she was too blind by the fact that he's her friend to realize that he deserved it.

[He blinks a little when she offers him the handkerchief, a bit perturbed by the fact. Pushing any thoughts of romcoms out of the way, he took it, not using it for a moment before he spoke again.]

Strider's a douche, yeah, and I get that it was a fucking rap battle, but...fuck, you saw Tavros. I don't get how she's so fucking blinded by his fakey fake douchey coolness to see how wrong that was.

_{[Oh hush, she's a pureblood, she doesn't know the connotations of what she's doing.]

[Briefly, she's at a loss for words, simply because she agrees with everything he said.]}

What about you, Karkat? Are you alright? I read the entry you posted, to the journals, and I was just...worried about you...

[He pauses for a moment before looking down at the handkerchief in his hands, toying with it. His voice is small, not like his usual self at all.]

I wasn't ready to see them. Especially dad. I...didn't know he'd been killed in battle...
