A/N: I tried to make this as mistakes-free as possible :3

Her voice sounded so hoarse, almost like a weak kitten's cry. If Karkat haven't felt this sudden wave of relief wash over him, then the sound of her voice would have pained his heart with guilt.

Nepeta's eyes cracked open as if her eye lids weighed a ton. Her eyes were bloodshot; the natural golden oranges of her eyes stained with grassy green. The bags under her eyes were more prominent than usual. She looked ever so tired, even if the troll has slumbered for a week.

Her cracked lips opened again, soft words uttered once again through broken and lost teeth.

"Karkitty? Is that you?"

Her eyes looked around a bit before she slightly tilted her head, their eyes met for the first time after days.

"… Yes Nepeta?" Karkat asked hesitantly with a cracked voice.

Her expression changed from what he thought was fear to relief.

"Oh Karkitty…"

She tried to sit up, but cringed and laid back down. She held her side as her face pinched with pain.

"O-ow…"

Karkat sat up before he reached out to touch her hand.

"Hey, be careful dumbass. You somehow managed to break a lot of bones in your body." He made a soft growl at an attempt to sound more like himself. "You're fucking lucky you didn't break all of them."

She made a soft giggle and laced her fingers in between his.

"S-Sorry Karkitty…" She made a sigh to try and relax herself. "… How are you Karkitty?"

He arched an eyebrow at her. "Good… How are you?"

"Fine."

"Are you sure? You don't feel like screaming in pain right now?"

She frowned. "Well… It actually does hurt… A lot. But it's okay."

"What? How fuck is that okay?" He asked, dumbfounded. "I bet you're in agony right now, are you? You feel like every inch of square in your body is in pain at this very fucking moment. Fuck, am I even suppose to be touching you?"

Nepeta was silent for a moment, then giggled. "Yeah, you're right Karkitty. I guess I am in agony. But at least I'm a alive, right? Not another troll to add to the body count. How much is there, anyway? 3?"

"Um… There's 5 actually," He replied uncomfortably. "Well, almost 6 counting you."

"Oh… That's pawfully bad mews… Is Gamzee one of them?"

"What? No. What the fuck would he be dead?"

Nepeta only had on a small smile. "Nothing…"

"…I'm so sorry, Nepeta."

"What furr?"

"Furr- I mean- for everything that happened to you…"

"It wasn't your fault, Karkitty."

"Sure it was! If I haven't told Equius to go kill Gam-"

"It wasn't your fault," She said in a firmer voice. "Gamzee was on the loose, and you only wanted to protect evfurrybody. I was just stupid to not stay put like Equius said…"

She clutched his hand more tightly.

"I didn't want to leave…," She made a sniffling sound, her eyes glistened with tears.

"Then why did you?"

"No, I mean…" She looked away. "Die."

"Oh… oh." He petted her head at an attempt to comfort her. "Well that's pretty obvious. I don't think anybody wants to die."

"Yeah, but I didn't want to die before telling you something." She looked back at him, her cheeks slowly turned flushed.

Karkat stared at her, his heart racing. Did she wanted to tell him something he ever so wanted to hear? "What? What the fuck do you want?" His hand shook as he smooth out her hair.

Nepeta bit her lip, unsure of what to say. "It's okay if you don't feel the same way…"

"What is it?"

"I mean I'm sure you still wouldn't feel the same way."

"Nepeta."

"Then again you keep acting like you do…"

"Nepeta!" He said, exasperated. "Quit stalling and tell me! It's fucking annoying!"

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes.

"I… A.C. feels… very flushed for Karkitty… Even if he was a jerk about it earlier," She finally confessed. She opened her eyes to look at him once more, not really surprised to see his mouth opened with surprise.

It was like that for a moment, where she felt more and more uncomfortable by the silence and the look he was giving her.

"Listen, if you don't-" She started, where she was quickly interrupted.

"How long did you felt that way for me?" He asked rather quickly.

Nepeta was confused, but answered "For a while."

"Really? Didn't you hate me or anything?

"No.. why?"

"Well I assumed you'll fucking hate me, or at least want to hurt me, at some point after… you know… the talk thing…"

"Oh goodness no!" She cried, shocked that he would think of such a thing. Then a thought occurred in her mind, and her face fell. "Was I suppose to? You do like Terezi and…"

"Oh fuck no, she wanted to make out with that one retarded human."

"Then why are you asking all of these questions?" She asked. "My head's starting to hurt."

"Well…" He averted his eyes, his cheeks going red. "I guess I'll just get right to the point…"

She waited, anxious yet curious.

"I… I feel flushed for you too…," He finally admitted. "I mean I didn't at first - no offense. But I started liking you after I spent some time with you… and… they were so fun… and you're so disgustingly cute that it makes my stomach want to empty it's contents… In a good wa- URK."

A catlike troll suddenly threw herself at the crabby troll, arms wrapped around his neck as she pressed her lips happily to his own. Karkat sat there, mind blown as Nepeta whimpered at the sudden movements she had made.

No regrets were made.

The End.

A/N: And there you have it, the ending of a story after 5 months of starting it. I'm happy that you all enjoyed reading it, and I do apologize for my mistakes. I wasn't sure where this story was going at first, or how to end it. I was tempted to give it a tragic ending, considering Nepeta's death and Karkat and Terezi's relationship. However, seeing how a majority of the Karkat x Nepeta fanfics were sad and that Nepeta didn't get Karkat made me determined to give this story a happy ending. They are my OTP, afterall. Merry Christmas.
