I Remember You

-Karkat-

Gamzee fall asleep in his bed after maybe thirty minutes, but that’s when his nightmares hit. He was sweating and whimpering. “Not as tough as you thought huh?” I smiled at the boy. I slowly and carefully got onto the side of his bed careful not to wake him. I slow picked up his head and laid it in my lap. I ran my fingers through his matted hair. “Gog… do you need a bath…” I mumbled. He wasn’t as bad as everyone thought… or at least he wasn’t always like this, but years of murderer may have corrupted the once forgiving soul. “Do you remember me? The young boy you saved?” I whispered almost smiling at the memory. I had been attacked by four boy that where much bigger then me. Two held each arm pulling my, tell my body felt it was going to rip in half. One boy grabbed fist fulls of my hair pulling my head back, while the other mocked. ‘What you blood color? Huh?! Why is it such a secret?!’ he hit me in the stomach repeatedly. I had to hold back my tears. Why didn’t they just look in my eyes… the red shown brightly there. Maybe they where just dumb kids looking for an excuses to hurt others. But then the tall boy with the disheveled hair and the wicked grin and foul mouth gave them one warning. Then didn’t even look at him just told him to ‘Go away you dumb fuck!’ and he clubbed them freeing me and I cried. The boy sat on the ground and pulled me into his lap calming me down. The smell of blood lingered around him, even now it did.
