Taking your objects from the med cabin back to your own had been a major hassle. You kept dropping your things, and when you went to pick them up you would drop something else and so on. You had gotten so fed up with everything, you nearly gave up and left your stuff in a heap on the earthy floor- in fact you probably would have if nepeta hadn't came along and helped you. The two of you had just made it back to the cabin when it started to pour, and when I say pour I mean pour. It wasn't the kind of half assed drizzle you were used to, no, it was the kind of rain that it you got caught in you would look like you just had a bath with your clothes on. Nepeta placed the last of your things on your bed and wandered off to do who knows what. You had been dreading nepeta springing a surprise game of '20 questions about your love life' ever since you started hanging out with Karkat, and were extremely relived when she didn't. Because if you were being honest with yourself, you had no idea where you and Karkat stood. You knew you liked him, but did he like you back? No certainly not, there were much prettier, and much more likable girls at this camp than you. Take Terezi for example, with her fiery red hair and quirky personality, or nepeta with her lovable nature and adorableness. If there was anyone at this camp who Karkat had a crush on, it would definitely be either of them. Or maybe he liked someone at his school, maybe he already had a girlfriend or a crush but she just didn't come here. That was the most likely scenario. Maybe he was gay... Which would be fine after you got over the heartache.

'C'mon (y/n)!' You mentally scolded yourself , 'there are other people in the world that Karkat knows who don't go to this camp!'

You sighed and stared out at the rain from your seat on your bunk. Your cabin mates were up to their usual antics which left you with nothing to do. You were not going to get in a shipping war with nep, you would rather not prick yourself to death trying to sew things together with Kanaya, and they could count you out of playing a stupid board game with Vriska- who always won thanks to her trusty loaded dice. Which left you with one option for curing your boredom.

'That jerk! He he... Hung up...? On me!'

After many failed attempts to contact Karkat and demand an explanation you decided to just give up. A frustrated groan escaped your lips and you flopped back down onto your bunk landing on a familiar article of clothing. Rolling onto your stomach, you pulled Karkats hoodie out from under you and took in its Candy- and-something-else scent. You really should give this back to Karkat... But gosh darn it, it's Raining! You can't bring it back now it'd get all wet and it would be terribly rude to give Karkat his hoodie back while it was wet. Guess you just get to keep it with you a little longer. As you lay down your head on the bunched up sweater your eye lids started to get heavier and heavier, soon you drifted off into a peaceful sleep.
------------------

'What the hell is that? Why is it so bright? Just open your eyes and see. But then again I'm so comfortable. Aw screw it, the damn brightness already woke me up, might as well see what it is'

You cracked one eye open to see that the annoying light that had woken you up was a flash light. Correction, some idiot in the cabin across from yours shining a flash light into the window of your own. Directly into your face I might add, and your laptop constant vibrating against your calf was not helping either. Despite being extremely irritated with your current situation, you figured that it would be best to see what was so important to someone that they had to repeatedly pester you at this late hour. You opened your laptop.

-- CarcinoGeneticis [CG] began pestering (chum handle) [CH]--

CG: WAKE UP

CG: WAKE UP

CG: GOD DID SOMEONE SHOOT YOU WITH A FUCKING MOOSE TRANQUILIZER OR SOMETHING?

CG: WAKE THE FUCK UP ALREADY

CH: God, what do you want

CG: I

CG: I HAD A FUCKING NIGHTMARE OK

CH: oh... Do you wanna talk about it?

CG: NOT REALLY

CH: Karkat does this happen often?

CH: Karkat?

CG: I DON'T KNOW ITS NOT LIKE I KEEP A FUCKING DREAM JOURNAL

CH: Karkat you know what I mean...

CG: ...

CG: EVERY NIGHT

CH: meet me in front on the dining hall in 3 minuets

-- (chum handle) [CH] ceased being pestered by CarcinoGeneticis [CG]--

You shut your laptop and climbed out of your bed, carful to avoid the squeaky boards. If your cabin counselor caught you sneaking around like this you would be on kitchen duty for the whole week. You stretched and licked your dry lips, cringing at the grimy feel on your teeth. You had forgotten to brush them before bed, just great. Looking down you also observed you were still in your clothes from earlier on. You made your way to the bathroom and scrubbed your teeth as quietly as possible then brushed the tangles out of your (h/l) locks. Next you changed into your comfy PJs. Hey, it was like super duper late, you didn't want to wear your grungy clothes, PJS were awesome, and Karkat would probably be in his too. Slipping on some fuzzy socks and an extra sweater or two, you pulled on your runners and tip toed out the red cabin door.
-------------------

You arrived out side the dining hall to a very peculiar sight: Karkat decked out in some worn out white pajama pants with red crabs and an oversized blue t shirt (what you thought the only colors karkat wore was red grey and black? HAHAHhahha...) hopping around in his worn out sneakers trying to keep warm in the cool night air. You walked up to Karkat and pulled him inside the dining hall giving him no room for protest.

"(y/n) WHY THE FUCK ARE WE IN HERE?" Karkat practically screamed.

"Shhhhhh, do you want to get caught?"

Karkat muttered some... Colorful... Words under his breath as you searched for the ingredients. Soon you found what you were looking for, after all they weren't all that hard to find. Taking the milk, the mug, and the sugar you prepared the drink. After dumping a spoonful of sugar into the warm liquid and stirring it up you handed the beverage to Karkat.

"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS?"

Rolling your eyes you replied, "warm milk Karkat. It's supposed to make you relaxed and help you sleep at night."

Karkats eye brows furrowed but he drank the milk nonetheless. You smiled as he pretended not to like it, but gulped it down quickly. When he was done he got up and put the mug in the sink.

"I WAS IN A TUB"

"What?"

"THE NIGHTMARE FUCK TARD."

"Oh, I'm sorry... Continue."

"AND THERE WAS THIS DRIPPING NOISE, WHEN I TURNED AROUND I SAW BLOOD DRIPPING FROM THE TAP. SUDDENLY THE WALLS GOT HIGHER AND THE TUB SEEMED TO STRETCH ON FOREVER. SOON THE DRIPPING TURNED INTO POURING, AND BLOOD STARTED SPEWING OUT OF THE DRAIN, THEN THIS HUGE WAVE OF RED BLOOD WAS COMING STRAIGHT FOR ME. I TRIED TO RUN BUT NO MATTER HOW FAST I RAN I WOULDN'T MOVE AN INCH. THE WAVE... WELL YOU CAN PROBABLY GUESS WHAT HAPPENED NEXT."

(A/N: I didn't make that up, I copied it from this video on YouTube. I would have put it at the top but I couldn't find it :/. The vids called DREAMSTUCK by Suzanne Sperber.)

Wow that was some messed up nightmare. Who dreams of drowning in their own blood? Just as you were about to open your mouth to comfort your dear friend a voice called out, "Hello? Why are campers up this late and in the kitchen?!"

...crap.
