Thunder (Karkat x reader)

Chapter 4

((y/n) P.O.V)

I lazily glanced over the safety guide thing for the 87th time. Me and Karkat were waiting for the plane to take off and it was taking ages. The pilot had been sick and they were finding one to replace them apparently. Noises of engines began to fill my ears. finally. I looked to Karkat, he was softly trembling as he looked out of the window.

"Karkat?" I asked, placing a hand on his shoulder. He turned to face me, worry and fear filled his eyes as the engines got louder. "Are you scared of flying?"

"no shit." He said, though, it was too afraid to be harsh. "Why would I be afraid of getting on a huge ass chunk of metal with a bunch of random fucking people that flies so high and-" He paused for a moment "OH MY GOG WHAT IF WE FUCKING CRASH (Y/N) WE'RE GONNA DIE" he loudly whispered (???). I slipped my hand under his and held it.

"It will be fine, trust me" squeezing his hand I shifted in my seat so I could face him better "I'm here" The plane had reached the runway as we had been talking.Karkat let out a small whimper as the plane accelerated, his nails digging into my hand. "it's okay, it's okay. it's okay" I whispered to him and leaned on his shoulder. The plane successfully left the ground and we were swiftly approaching the clouds. He seemed to relax after a while. I smiled and removed my hand.

(Karkat's P.O.V)

With (y/n) here flying doesn't seem so bad. It was about 20 minutes into the flight and (y/n) was already asleep on my shoulder. I smiled and rested my head on top of hers. After a while I heard the people across the isle from us giggle. They were two human girls and seemed to be giggling at us. They noticed me looking and the one closest to isle leaned over.

"You and your girlfriend are so cute" She smiled. I felt my face heat up,

"she's not my girlfriend, asshat"

"That's what they all say" the other one replied. (y/n) mumbled a bit in her sleep and grabbed my sweater with her opposite hand.

"Shut your annoying food chutes up, you'll wake her" I turned back to the front. (y/n), my girlfriend? please, she deserves so much better.

~~~Time Skip~~~

((y/n) P.O.V)

With it being autumn, it was extremely cold. As soon as we got to the police station dealing with my parents we just stood by the radiator. A policeman lead us down a hallway and to a door.

"Could you please wait for a bit while we prepare the bodies" He said and entered the room.

"Do you want me to go in with you?" Karkat turned to me

"I appreciate it but no thanks, I don't really want you to see me cry again" I smiled

After a while, I was brought into the room. It was cramped and had two bodies covered with plain white sheets. my parents. I held back a sob as tears welled up in my eyes. I hated crying but what could I do?

"Are these your parents miss?" the policeman from earlier said. I nodded. "okay, thank you. You may go now." Swiftly, I opened the door and returned to the hallway.

"(y/n)-" Karkat started but stopped when he looked at my face. I guess my expression gave whatever he was going to ask away. He grabbed his arm awkwardly and looked at the wall. A few minutes passed before he wrapped his arms comfortingly. tears crept out on my eyes and got absorbed by Karkat's sweater.

thank God I have a friend like him
