9 calls, 15 calls, 20 calls... and still no answer from Kankri. It had been 3 days since they talked and Dave was losing hope. Losing hope of Karkat, and losing hope of Kankri. None of his friends would answer him and he was alone. He drove to kankri's house, with a plush crab and red roses. Kankri never opened the door, the door was unlocked though. When Dave walked in he heard soft cries, they echoed through the house. He walked to kankri's room, dropping everything to floor. Kankri was sitting on his bed, his hair messed up, eyes closed, mouth closed, he was skinny with dark circles under his eyes. Dave ran to Kankri, trying to see if everything was ok. When kankri's eyes opened, they were bloodshot, he could barely keep the open." What happened?!" The troll just looked away, tears falling. He lifted his hands up, slowly signing something. ( I t h o u g h t Y o u h a t e d
M y v o i c e...) Dave sat there, he didn't know what to do. He never learned sign language. He looked for a piece of paper and pen, passing them to the weak troll.
I thought you hated my voice...
Dave cringed, remembering his words. " Kankri I didn't mean it I was just mad. I don't know why I was... but I never meant for this to happen. " he tried to pick Kankri up, feeling him wince. He brought him to the kitchen, watching Kankri hold on loosely." I'll make you something to eat. How long has it been since you stopped eating." The words he spoke hurt himself, if he wouldn't have said any of that...Kankri held up 3 fingers, looking down. His body shaking at the smell of food. When Dave put the food on the boys plate, he pushed it away. "Kankri... please" he kept his hand on the side of the plate. Dave felt a sting as he placed his hand on kankri's. His skin was like ice.
Just leave me alone Dave I'm fine.
" you're not fine you need to eat." The blonde took a price of a pancake and stuffed it in kankri's mouth. The troll shook his head, chewing it forefully. He slowly took another bite, and more. Soon the whole plate was gone." It wasn't that bad, was it?"
It's not as bad as being lied to I guess...
He picked Kankri up again, bringing him to the bathroom." How long has it been since you took care of yourself?" The same three fingers went up. He started to pull kankri's sweater up, noticing small marks on his arms.cuts. " how long have you..."
Stop with the questions.
"No I need to know."
5 fingers went up, that's when the first fight happened." Why didn't you tell me!"
Kankri turned away, pulling off the rest of his sweater.
The bath water turned on. " hot or cold?"
Warm
He helped take off the rest of kankri's clothes, helping him into the bath. Kankri turned Dave's head to look away. " Kankri, I've seen you before so there's no point, besides. I don't just want you to sit there you need to clean yourself." Kankri just looked away, feeling Dave rub his shoulders. " why did you do this to your self..." he looked at Kankri's body,his skin was a paler gray than usual. Kankri flinched at the water touching his skin, the stinging making him wince. " Kankri, please just speak to me...." the troll faced him opening his bloodshot eyes. As much as he wanted to, he couldn't. The last time he spoke was in the argument. He shook his head shamefully, pushing Dave away softly as he reached for a towel. " you're not clean yet, I'm just making up what I owe you." Dave washed kankri's hair, wanting to feel his curly locks." I really don't hate your hair, I actually love it...." Kankri pushed Dave away, pouting.
Too late for that.
"Don't get the paper wet unless you a dry erase board somewhere. I know I'm late on saying this, but I've called you the entire time, you just ignored them, I even tried apologize in the car. All you did was cut me off."Would you really want to hear anything else from the person who called me trash! You pushed it, I actually trusted you with everything, even myself! How am I suppose to talk to some one who going from loving me, to hating everything about me! I'm just confused!
"K-Kankri... I never wanted to hurt you. I just... I can't even explain it..."
Kankri felt a small smirk on his face.
I hate to be... I mean. Humans are complicated.
The blonde chuckled." We're pretty complex if you think about it, we let our emotions get the best of us and end up doing things we definitely will regret, we look for the perfect person to love, but no one is perfect. We let out hearts speak for us at times when it should be our brain. We really hate being untrusted or alone, but sometimes we do things that can't be fixed with apologies..." Kankri stared at Dave, a soft smile on his face.
