"Ha! I've got it!" you laughed as you held up the case to a DVD. Karkat reached for the item in your hands as you barely jumped out of his grip. "We're never gonna watch it again!" The movie in your hands was some crappy troll romcom- one that you've had to watch many a lame movie night.

"Hey, you little shit, GIVE IT BACK," shouted the hotheaded troll as he reached once more for the case. You giggled until you tripped over something on the ground of Karkat's messy living room and fell. A fierce pain suddenly heated up your left leg.

His trusty sickle was lying on the floor, and you had grazed your leg with its tip as you had fallen. Had you been any closer... No, you didn't want to think about that! Clutching your leg as it bled, you gave a small whine. Immediately, Karkat was crouched at your side in a frenzied worry. "Ah FUCK! Why did I leave it on the floor? Shit, shit shi-"

You hushed him with a finger to his lips as you attempted to stand. "Look, Kitkat, it's not that ba- augh," you slumped again to the ground in pain. Your Matesprit was in a panicked state- he never was good around blood. He suddenly pulled you into his arms and wobbily picked you up in a bridal-like grip, then carried you to the bathroom while whispering various profanities.

He set you down gently on the floor and opened a cabinet of first aid supplies. You tried once again to assure him that it wasn't that bad, but he wouldn't have any of it. "Okay, here, sit still- this will sting a little," he said in a hushed tone as he applied some medicine to the wound. You flinched a bit- he noticed this, and tried to hide the pain in his eyes at seeing you hurt, but to no avail.

The worry was basically dripping off of him. You tried to think of what to say to calm him down- jeez, what an overreaction this was! "Hey, Karkat, it's okay, really..." He shook his head in response as he was applying a few bandaids to the long scratch. "Really! And... thanks for helping me. You don't have to freak out so much..."

He stopped and looked you in the eye for a moment, then murmured, "I'm just afraid of losing you." His tone was barely audible and the bathroom was silent for a few moments. A light blush lit your cheeks as his words impacted you. He got sick of the awkward silence and got up to kiss your forehead lightly. "I really, really love you."

You smiled and reached up to hug him tightly. "I love you too. I'll never leave you." With those words, he wrapped his arms around you. It was moments like this where your Matesprit showed his soft side that you saw how much he loved you - and how much you loved him.
Another simple reader insert involving the grumpy but loveable troll. I hope you like it!

Karkat snapped back to reality as John placed a hand on his shoulder, jerking him out of the memory. "Hey, it's time to go." He said quietly. Terezi was on his other side. "Yeah, come on, Karkles. The funeral ended hours ago." Karkat looked around to find that everyone was gone. A small headstone sat on a patch of recently turned earth. "Yeah. Right." Karkat said slowly. The read the inscription one last time. "Here lies (f/n) (l/n), beloved friend and matesprit." "Go on ahead, I'll catch up in a second." He whispered. After a small hesitation, John and Terezi headed towards the car, where Dave was waiting for them. "You promised you wouldn't leave. So much for that, huh?" Karkat said to the headstone. A single red tear trickled down his face. "That's okay, though. I'll yell at you the next time I see you." As he walked towards the car, a pale figure sitting on the headstone smile. "Silly Karkles. I told you I'd never leave you. Why would that change?" With that, she vanished.

IM SORRY I HAD TO
