Of course Karkat had taken the other boy going to the Astronomy Tower as bad. That was the only way to take it when someone was being verbally abused and the douche doing it didn't know when to fucking stop.
After chewing Equius out, Karkat ran to the tower. He didn't know how much time he had. When he came across Gamzee beating the crap out of Equius, he barely had time to spit take before continuing on, telling the older Slytherin to give him hell, even though he doubted Gamzee could hear him.
The stairs leading up to the Astronomy Tower were hell on any other day, but they were especially irritating right now. Karkat had no time for stairs, taking them two at a time and trying not to trip up them, screaming mentally at himself for being such an idiot. It was his fault Equius was pissed off at them in the first place. Tavros had nothing to do with it aside from the whole dress suggestion.
After what seemed like an eternity, he finally reached the top of the stairs and threw the door open, hoping that he wasn't going to find an empty wheelchair. He couldn't begin to explain the relief that washed over him when he saw Tavros there, the other boy's sobs reaching his ears through the hollow of the tower.
He was going to kill Equius, he decided as he strode across the platform, stalk slowing down to a few hesitant steps before he reached the other boy. He wasn't sure what to do, but his feet kept walking him over until he found himself directly behind and before he knew it he was leaning down, pressing his face into Tavros's mohawk and wrapping his arms around his shoulders.
