Your name is Nepeta Leijon and you can't believe what had just happened. No, you don't even want to think about it. Your vision begins to blur as memories with your matesprit flood in. Even laying here, bleeding to your death, all you can think of is him.



Your hand makes the shape of a paw and you start gently hitting Karkat's cheek over and over. He tries to ignore it but eventually gets a little aggravated. His hand grabs yours and he turns towards you.

"Nepeta! You better fucking stop that, or I'll..."

"Or you'll do what, Karkitty?" you ask, pawing at his face with your other hand. It might be harder but it was fun to get Karkat mad sometimes.

"I'll tell Equius!" he shouts. You laugh and lean on his shoulder. The thought of Equius trying to stop you from something this silly just amuses you to no end.

"What will he do? Shoot me with an arrow? Or would you rather have him sitting here doing this?" Almost immediately Karkat's face becomes twisted and he raises a hand to his cheek, thinking of what one touch could do to his face. You don't blame him though. Your meowrail is pretty strong!

"Okay, okay, I take it back. I won't go get that sweating freak. But seriously, stop playing with my face Nep!" He takes your hand before you can brush his now red cheek again. You absolutely love it when you make Karkat flush like this. It was really rare to see him like this, even when you two were alone. It was nice though, it meant he was relaxed and happy.

You sigh. "Aww, Karkitty you're no fun! If I can't paw your face, what can I do?" you ask, with a sad pout face. He looks at you for a second before giving the sigh of defeat.

"Fine, go ahead. Just don't leave fucking scratch marks or anything. I wouldn't want Kanaya asking if I hurt myself doing something again...You know how she is." You smile a smile as wide as your face and continue pawing his face.

"Don't worry! I'll make sure to be extra careful! I would nefurr hurt my Karkitty," you reassure him. Unfortunately, you have spoken too soon because right as you say that a scratch mark appears on his face. A little of his cherry red blood drips from the cut and he starts freaking out. Before he can start swearing like a mad man you wipe it away with your sleeve and kiss it. He stops flailing around and looks at you, giving you a silent thanks.



You sit by your computer in the lab and glance across the room. Karkat is pulling his hair in frustration, most likely because of one of the humans. A little curious, you decide to walk over to him and ask.

"Karkitty...what's wrong?" He looks up and sighs. Gray hands tap the seat next to him and you sit down.

"Strider's fucking bragging about how 'good' he is with the ladies. I just wish I could get girls like that! They're gorgeous and fucking amazing and...and..." Karkat lets out a groan and looks at you. "I mean look at him! He's got both Jade and Terezi basically head over heals for him! He could get anyone he wants..."

Before you know it, you're standing up and looking down at him."What are you trying to say? That I'm not good enough?" The hurt in your voice makes the poor troll realize what you must have thought. You cross your arms and give him a look of disbelief.

"No! I didn't mean it like that! Shit. Nepeta, you know I love you!"

"Oh really?"

"Yes!" He exclaims, standing up to hug you. As his warm arms wrap around your back you release the unknown tension you had and hug him back.

"I didn't mean to say it like that! I'm just lucky we ended up flushed for each other...I'm as bad as a flaming bowl of wriggler bits!" You giggle at the new insult he has thought up for himself as he continues.

"And," he whispers close by your ear. "I think you're so much better than the other trolls and human girls.

The last part makes your face turn a light olive green color and Karkat smiles. He loves making you happy. He even loves making everyone else happy, whether they know it or not. . A yawn emerges from the other side of the lab and the last troll heads off to bed, leaving the two of you alone. You take this as an opportunity as

Karkat nods towards the transportalizer and grabs your hand.

"It's getting late. Want to come to my room tonight?"

You gleefully agree and walk alongside him, leaning on his shoulder. You take a step onto the machine with him and then step onto his room's tranportalizer. Once in there, you take a spot on his bed and cuddle up next to Karkat. He wraps his arms around you and you purr like a baby kitten.

"I love you..."
