In love with my assassin

Explain

Karkat's Pov

We walk into her office. It was all black with hints of green glitter that was thrown into the paint. The lights were dim but we still could see perfectly fine. Well, I could. Not sure for Strider, he always has the shades on. Why does he never take them off? We are in a building. Does he have some deformed eye or something? I'd still accept him. I find those shades dumb to be honest. "Here you guys go, be sure to let her know I sent you." We both nod and walk to Ms. Paint's room. Her room was bright, mostly green but bright. I'm used to this room, mainly because she is my personal counselor.

"Ah! Welcome back Karkat! And whom is this?" I follow her gaze which lead to Dave.

"T-this is Dave, he was gonna help talk with me explain a bit." I'm not sure how I feel about him being here but I feel like I could trust him.

"Well, the more the merrier!" She then gestured to the seats, "sit down, sit down! " We do as we were told, me sitting down awkwardly and Dave not having a problem with anything. "Now, what is the matter?" I look down, almost in tears again. I need to tell her, I need her help. I then feel a hand rub my back, it isn't small, I know it is Dave's.

"W-w-well..... I-I found out, about half an hour ago what m-my parents are getting a di--" I broke again, crying into Dave's chest for the second time. Staining his shirt with my red tears. I heard him sigh.

"His parents are going to get a divorce." That word made me cry even harder. I could hear Dave shoosh me as he rubbed circles in my back.

"Awe, Karkat. Well, I don't mean to bring my life into this but I never met my parents, I grew up on my own. Plus think of the good things." I rose my head up from Dave's not too stained baseball tee and look up at Ms.Paint. She then continued. "I know going back and forth between your parent's houses would be a hassle but you could meet new friends.." The counseling contuinued for a bit while we discussed the pros and cons as well as what I could say to keep both of them in my life. It would be hard on me to not only lose my "mother" but also my best friend and her sister.

"You okay now Karks?" I growled at the nickname but also nodded.

"Thanks for helping, Strider." He smiled while brushing some hair out of my face.

"Anytime, now, let's go to our classes" I nodded as he escorted me to mine to make sure I was going to be okay. I'm actually happy that I didn't cut myself. I guess Dave prevents that. Before he leaves me to enter my class I stop him.

"Dave, wait" He turned around with an eyebrow barley showing above his shades.

"Yes?" He said walking closer to me.

"Why was I your target.?" He looked pained, probably thinking of our first encounter. "What happened in my family to make me a target?" He sighed and pulled a document or something out of his backpack.

"I thought you'd ask at some point." He opened up the document and pulled out a file. "Kermil, ancestor of Signless, Kankri, and Karkat Vantas." He stopped, me in disbelief, wanting to know what my grandpa did. "Stole $10,000,000 from the Strider airloans, revenge is to kill the youngest, Karkat. If you succeed then you will move on to Kankri and then Signless" He took a breath. "If you don't succeed then you will be punished, if you die in the process of this task you would be thrown into the ocean." He stopped putting the file back and zipped up his backpack. "So my plan is to get my Bro arrested. My brother, Dirk quit the first day and moved in with his best friend, Jane. This is my first time doing the full task, all I used to do is join him and not try to blow our cover."

"So you want to sell your brother out?" He nodded and came closer to me.

"That's why I have this document, a blade he used with his finger prints on it and a photo of him in the act of killing someone. So, today after school I'm going to go to the Police station, you can come with me but it would be weird." I nodded as he hugged me.

"We really need to get to class, cya, Dave" He nodded as he walked away. Before he turned the corner he looked at me giving a soft smile which I returned and walked into class.

"And that's why you should now be saving for chris-- oh, hello Karkat, nice for you to join us. Please take a seat." I walked to my seat, someone tripping me.

"Hah, loser!" He said out loud.

"Ah... nice for us to continue this, bed wetter." He looked shocked and stood up, grabbing me buy the color of my shirt. Did I mention that the teacher walked out?

"What did you say?"

"Look, I know you have the hatred towards me, and I don't know why so I'm just going to list some of my reasons I think why. I have a better ass than you or your girlfriend, I can get laid easier than you, I don't have to worry about someone mistaking me for a fuck boy, oh! and I don't let insults get to me.So, bye bye!" I said as I kneed him in his shin and walked to my seat waiting for lunch to come. My prayers soon got answered as lunch came faster than usual.

~Time skip bitchessss~

"Hi sunshine~" I jump and start to run as I feel arms wrap around me. I started to cry but I got shooshed. "Kitkat... It's just me..." I calm down and relax back into Dave's chest.

"You scared me."

"I know."

"But it's just you."

"I'm sorry."
