“You are accused of treason, and the intent on murder of an innocent bystander. Now tell me what made you think you could get away with it? Who is helping you as well? If you don’t answer my questions in 10 seconds I will let Karkat here kill you.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about sir. Dirk, Miss. Jane tell him he is wrong.” Dirk shook his head as Kanaya brought Jane over to her.
“3” you took a few steps forward, making him shrink back a bit. “Answer my questions.”
“I thought the kid wanted to die so I was going to help him out. I’m not working for anyone.” AR sighed as you took another few steps, making sure to give the man a snarl as you got closer. “I’m telling the truth, the kid came to me one day asking for death.”
“No I didn’t…I was asking for help with and assignment once, but I never asked for anyone to kill me…” You feel a hand on your arm and look down to see John standing beside you.
“8, tell me the truth human.” He looks between you and John, while you watch him closely. You look back down to John, kneeling down in front of him to keep him away from the male behind you.
“John go lay back down please.” He shakes his head, trying to get closer to you. You wrap your coils around him and lean in closer to whisper in his ear. “Please go lay down baby, your too weak to be standing up right now. When we’re all done with dealing with this guy I’ll go cuddle with you. Until then please lay down baby.” He looks at you for a few seconds before he nods and walks slowly away, into Dirks arms. You focus back on the male watching as he twitched every now and then.
“Why do you not believe me? He wanted death so I was going to give it to him, besides that thing there would gladly kill him.” You growl, walking up to him and grabbing his shirt in your hands. You lift him up off the ground as he tries to pull your hand off and kick your leg.
“I would never kill him! He is important to me and I won’t let anyone harm him either! Lord AR the time please?” You glance back to lord AR, seeing him glare in frustration.
“Last chance, who do you work with?” He looks to AR for a few seconds before trying to get out of your hands still.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about!” You growl positioning one of your claws near him. “John tell them I was trying to help you, call this thing off.”
“Stop talking to him, you’re not allowed to speak a word to him when you tried to kill him.” He wiggles some more and you look to John who is hiding his head on Dirk’s shoulder.
“10, get rid of him. I’ll just hack his system later.” You nod and rip his head off, throwing him over to Kanaya. Kanaya nods and walks off with the corpse, while you turn around to John. You wrap your coils around his waist softly, pulling him over to you.
“John, I can take you to go rest now.” He looks over to you and frowns. “Are you afraid of me now?” He shakes his head, looking to the ground instead of your eyes. Dirk turned him around to face himself.
“John he had to do that, that guy was trying to kill you?” He looked up to Dirk and tilted his head.
“I thought I was having a bad episode?” Dirk smiled, shaking his head as he brought John in for a hug.
“No buddy, he and a few others were probably trying to revolt against the androids. So to do that they needed to hit close to home. Which meant killing a human who is close to them, like you and Karkat. What they weren’t expecting was Karkat being able to tell what’s wrong and how close you two are. So don’t blame Karkat for this, just think of it as an unfortunate circumstance. Now go get some rest, that object really messed with you and you look like a ghost.” John smiles, turning back to you with his arms out for you to pick him up.
“Can I still have cuddles?” You smile wrapping your coils around his waist as you pulled him up into your arms. His arms quickly wrapped around your neck as you shifted him around to carry him like he wished. You gave lord AR a bow then walked back out to go to his room where he needed to be. You placed him down on the bed, sliding in beside him so he didn’t have to let you go. “Did I scare you Karkat?” You run your fingers through his hair while gently placing a kiss on his head.
“I can’t lie to you, yes you did. I thought I fucked up somehow and lost you forever. I was trying my hardest not to lose my temper the whole entire time while you were unconscious.” You felt him lay a kiss on your neck and hum in approval for the contact.
“Sorry, I’m proud of you though for keeping in control of your anger. How can I reward you for being a good boy?” You laugh softly, pushing him gently so his back was fully on the bed while you hovered over him. You leaned down pressing kisses on his neck all the way up then back down to his shoulders. He moaned softly from the contact and you then went back up till you got to his lips. Once there you gave him a sweet kiss only swiping your tongue on his lips and never entering his mouth, just trying to absorb everything that is John Egbert. He laughs softly though the kiss and you looked at him rolling your eyes. He broke the kiss and began to laugh more which made you smile. You soon wrapped your coils all around him then rolled to where he laid on your stomach, his hands resting on your chest. He looked to the wall still trying to get over his laughing fit.
“All I want is for you to keep on living. No matter what just keep on being the kid that laughs and loves everything and never give up. If worse comes to worse we can always put you in an android like me then I never have to fear about losing you to a human.” He starts laughing more but he’s able to look at you, planting kisses on your chest till he gets to your neck and laughs more.
“What if I forget you, or another android tries to kill me, even a human with that one weapon, what if that happens?” You pull his body up closer so you may kiss his lips, both of you smiling even when it breaks.
“I will find a way for you to remember, I’ll transfer data on our interactions with each other. If others try to kill you then I will protect you like I have been doing.” He gives you another kiss on the lips, pulling away slowly so he’s the one left breathless.
“Sounds perfect. Hey if I become an android, would we be able to have like mental sex or something?” He looks away with a deep blush to his cheeks and you kiss each one softly.
“When you become one we could try, but I don’t plan on that happening anytime soon. Let’s see how this goes, I could also give you satisfaction if that is what you need.” He shakes his head, laying back down on your chest.
“No I’m good, I don’t want to do that if it won’t be fun for you as well.”
“John, you don’t have to do that. I know you wish to do that stuff.” He just smiles as he rubs one of your arms.
“I don’t want to do any of that, I just want to be with you forever. I really love you Karkat and kissing you is amazing, along with just being able to be near you like this. Do you understand?”
“I think I do. I can’t stand not being able to just hear your laugh even for a few seconds, so I think I understand what you mean.” He cuddles up closer to you and you run your fingers through his hair, making sure to rub his scalp as well. He gives off a hum before his eyes close and his breath stabilizes for you to know he fell asleep.
