Give It Time (a nepkat fanfic)

Chapter 15

Nepeta's POV (1st person)

The rest of the night went by as a blur. The majority of what I can recall is having another drink or two and dancing and dancing and dancing some more and rarely stopping until I dropped. I didn't even realize I fell asleep until I woke up.

I was laying on the floor where the party took place. Everyone from the dream bubble is gone, and I feel a pang of guilt because I don't think I got to say goodbye.

Karkat is laying behind me with his arm around my chest, but it feels different from the last time it happened. I feel more secure and safe.

I wasn't gonna fall for him again. I swore that to myself.

Looking around, I see that once again weren't the only ones who passed out on the floor. Dave fell asleep up at the DJ stand, Kanaya and Rose are on the floor over there to my left, and Terezi is snuggling one of her scalemates. For a second I swore I saw a pair of glowing eyes in one of the corridor entrances, but the next time I blinked it was gone. Probably just seeing things.

Soft bass is still faintly playing from the stand, as if Dave was too tired to turn it off so he just turned it down a little before passing out. I think I recognize the song but I'm not entirely sure. Trying to figure it out causes a jabbing pain in my head for some reason. At first it was only for a second, and then a full on migraine seemed to take over my skull. I should probably get up and see if I can walk the pain off.

I start to move out of Karkat's arms and crawl away, but once I'm almost free he just pulls me closer by my arm and squeezes me tighter. I was a little startled at first, but then a wave of tiredness seemed to overcome the migraine. There's no blanket and he's so warm that I could just fall right back asle-

Gamzee's POV (1st person)

Surprise motherfucker, bet you thought you'd seen the last of me :o)

I've been stuck in these depressing corridors and hiding in the vents since the day we arrived on this tit bitchin' ship. Bros haven't said a motherfuckin' word to me, and it hurts like a bitch sometimes.

I got these scars across my face and around my ankle that hurt way less than anything those fuckers ever said or did to me. At first I was skeptical, now I'm all up and embracing em'. They're a part of me now. There forever.

It's okay though. I shrug that shit right off, like it ain't a big deal at all. I got my own problems to worry about.

If you hadn't heard, everything I believed in had been crushed. Crushed like the bones of my dear departed followers. I'm the motherfuckin' messiah, and since I've realized my true motherfuckin' calling, these motherfuckers all up and shut me out. But like I said, it's all good. It's all motherfuckin' WONDERFUL.

I've got my own friends to keep me company too. Yeah maybe they're just a couple of useless severed body parts, but that's the only motherfuckin' family I got any more. Treat me better than any of those worthless assholes ever did.

Sitting pretty in the halls and such can get motherfuckin' boring and all, but I've got a motherfuckin' method to my madness bro, don't you worry about a thing. I got a plan. I know what my motherfuckin' calling is telling me to do.

For now I just gotta be patient. I'll get what I'm after eventually.

Everything will fall together soon enough.

Karkat's POV (1st person)

Nepeta's fast asleep in my arms currently after I pulled her closer to me. I don't even know why I did that. I just feel like I need her. I just want her close to me at all times. It's so fucking weird. I always ignored her on Alternia, considering I didn't want to hurt her while I was mackin on Terezi. We all fucking know how that ended.
