You wander the dimly lit streets, careful to avoid the countless snowdrifts littered about the side of the road. Your breath makes puffs in front of your eyes, reminding you that spending too much time wandering around could kill you. You rub your arms to fight off the cold that had already started to numb your body. You walk briskly into the darkening night.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(John)

You barely hear the door close. You ignore it and continue to stare at the ceiling, assuming that Karkat is just stepping out for fresh air. After a few minutes you find yourself listening for the door. Nearly fifteen minutes pass before you decide to go outside and get him. You slowly roll out of bed and head over to the door, pulling on a coat before you head outside.

You don't see Karkat on the porch or anywhere in the yard. You reach back inside and grab your keys from the hook on the wall. Pulling the door shut you try to think about where he would be. The first place you check is the park.

You wander from the playground to to the lake. Seeing Karkat nowhere you begin to worry. Your calm walk and steady stride change to a slight jog as you search the park. Finding him nowhere you jog back to the main street.

You search until long after the sun sets.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(Karkat)

The sky begins to lighten as the sun rises. Your arms and legs had long gone numb. Your face is stained red from the violent winter wind. In an attempt to warm yourself you curl into a ball, fighting sleep. Your heavy eyelids fall closed.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(John)

By the time the sun starts to rise you are frantically searching the streets and alleys in your neighborhood. After hours of searching you see a spot of grey in a pile of snow. You rush over to the mound and brush of the snow, uncovering a shivering form. Unsure of what to do, you pull Karkat close, hoping that he isn't hurt. You huddle close to him, hoping your body heat will warm him up.
