Karkat is an outcast in his village. In his kingdom even. His family was looked down upon. But he did everything he could to restore the honor of his bloodline. So he became a knight. But his family's honor is not the only reason he fought. He fought for him. The one he is looking for. He believed he lived him his kingdom and Karkat would do anything to find him, to keep him safe. And that's exactly what he was going to do.
But he never made it home. He never made it to him. But he died knowing he would live again. And when he did, he wouldn't stop looking. No matter what.

Sadly he was wrong. The boy's name is John. He didn't live in the same kingdom. He traveled the world in a ship with his family and some friends looking for a place to call home. Not only that. But he was looking for Karkat. The boy he was dreaming of.

The same night Karkat died, there was a storm at sea. John's ship sank, and so did he. But as he fell deeper and deeper into the darkness of the ocean, he could only think about the boy. The one he was looking for. And as he died, he promised himself he would never stop looking.

So they didn't meet either. Maybe the next life? It didn't matter. If they didn't they would keep looking for each other. No matter how long it took.
