Fight For Me.

Chapter 11, Infinite.

It's been 6 years since that day that Karkat had finally gotten rid of "Other" as he called it. 6 years of complete and udder peace. You had stayed together with Karkat, he proposed, and you had finally married after 4 years of dating. But today was the day. The day you've been waiting for, for over a year now. The day would you be able to take home your adopted son. Talvin, your perfect little toddler boy. He's only 3 years old, so you'll still be able to experience him growing up into a loving home. It took you so long because of Karkat, not being mean or anything but he was a troll and they had to thoroughly check him to make sure he's be a suitable father. Hehe, all "daddys" fault. Ew. Hell no. Note to self: Never even dare call Karkat "Daddy" out loud. It just sounds so nasty. Uhg. 

You're waiting impatiently for, what seems like forever, for the lady to bring your new son out. You hear the door open and Karkat and yourself bolt up. He's finally here. "Ok sweetheart. These are your new parents! Go and say hi!" The lady says. Talvin has seen you both more than a few times, just so he could get used to Karkat's horns. Since Talvin has never seen a troll before. He actually reacted pretty well. He took one look at Karkat's horns and screamed, "GIMMIE!" It was so funny oh jeez. "Momma? Dadda?" Talvin whispered. OOOOOOOHHHHH. You could just melt that was the cutest thing you ever heard. "Hey baby boy.. It's your new momma and dadda... Can I come pick you up?..." You asked. Which was kinda silly but you didn't care. "Uh.. Yeah!" He squealed. You squealed. Even Karkat slightly squealed. You went over and scooped him up and nuzzled his nose. "Ooooh my perfect baby boy Talvin! You're so cute!" Karkat came up next to you and hugged him as well. "You're gonna love our little home. We have everything ready and set up for you, but first how about we get some ice cream!" Talvin squealed a yes. You're all so happy, all three of you.

You got a nice two scoops of banana and strawberry ice cream, Karkat got cherry ice cream (of course), and Talvin got cookie dough. It was a little hard for him to eat but oh man he gobbled that shit right down. After ice cream you decided to go home, which was still your two bedroom apartment, just fixed up more since you had gotten a way better job that paid really good money, it was around 7 pm at night, since the adoption serviced did take like.. 4 hours to finally get your shit in order. Talvin was dosing off in your car on the way home, of course in your new baby seat. When you arrived home, you put Talvin in his little bed, after you had changed him. The clothes fit him perfectly. You were so happy. You and Karkat decided to have some "victory sex!" quietly, of course. You didn't wanna wake up your perfect little baby. 

After your nice sex, you drift off into a cozy sleep. You were just floating on your back in a pool of an extremely luxurious hotel, thinking about what had happened that day. You finally did it. You were now officially a family, and you couldn't be happier. Everything was perfect. You don't really notice your landscape changing around while you're thinking such happy thought, don't notice the sinister look around you. You only notice when something cold grazes your shoulder. You open your eyes to find yourself in a desert. A bleak, grey, desert. You look around. No, this couldn't be happening. Not today, and not ever. This is impossible. You're just imagining everything right now. 

You feel a cold hand on your shoulder. You're too frightened to turn around. It squeezes tighter. You knew. It wants you to look at it. You slowly turn around, not prepared for this, never in a thousands years would you be prepared for this. 

He staring at you, with blood red eyes with no iris'. "Now, I know you missed me. Why don't we catch up soon?" Other says. No. No. NO. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD!" You scream at him. Just then you're thrown out of your sleep. You look directly at Karkat. He was sitting straight up and looking right at you, eyes wide and full of fear. He had the same dream too. 

He never left, he just wanted you to think that, to believe that he left you alone. But no. He was always there. Watching you from the shadows. You were never alone, and you will never be alone. 

He's back.
