(Dave p.o.v)
he finally fell asleep. Thank god. The poor guy was coughing up blood the whole time he was wake. I'm just glad I got there when I did if I took any long that knife would have been in him. I don't even think he knew they were gonna stab him. I look at his week body that is rising and falling as he breaths in his sleep. A constant look of pain on his face. My poor karkat. Yes I said 'my'. I Dave strider the cool kid am in love with karkat vantas. I sigh. Looks like heather of us are going to school tomorrow. Not like eather of us like going to school anyway. But I would rather go then have him like this. He looks so... So week and defenseless. Which is so unlike him. I sit there watching his chest rise and fall. Its covered by brouses and cuts. Why the hell would they do this to him. He was no mach for five guys like them. I wish I had gotten there soon. I scoot closer to him on the bed to where there is barley any space between us. I kiss his forehead. His face softens a bit and I smile. I then get up and walk to the bathroom. I strip off my clothes and jump into the shower washing away the small amount of karkat's blood. When I get out I wrap the towl around my waist. I walk out in time to see karkat waking up. I smile at him.
