[ == > Remember ] [ its an old memory, one belonging to a version of you still laid out in a bed with cords and countless devices attached to him. Unaware. Never waking. But its your memory, too, and its finally come back to you. its blurred, each second dragging into the next and leaving a ghost image behind. The edges of your vision are dark. Your stomach hurts and you feel sick but its nothing on the splitting headache you have. it takes shifting your vision - a feat which nearly makes you sick again - to see black tufts of hair. Karkats carrying you. His nose is scrunched like when hes worried. He meets your gaze and speaks but the words dont process through the ringing in your ears. You find comfort in the warmth of being pressed against his back, though. it settles a little of the ache in your body. You tighten your arms around his shoulders. He squeezes your thighs where his arms are looped around them. You feel tired, suddenly, and overwhelmingly so. Karkats speaking again, his back rumbling against your chest, and this time you can just barely make out that hes telling you not to fall asleep. You try not to but your eyes are already closing. ]
