The complete and total shock and fear that Tavros felt at that statement was enough to stop his tears entirely for the time being. His mouth fell open slightly, his eyes widened further, and the look in his eyes was replaced by one that clearly said he had never even considered doing that.
"Wh- I- you-?" he stammered out, unable to even form a complete sentence. He swallowed, drawing in a breath to try and calm himself down. But as he searched for something to say, his stomach twisted a little. He hadn't thought of it, but now that he was...
"I...I didn't, e-even think of that," he whispered, and in the statement there was clearly the implication that he was starting to wonder if it wasn't such an awful idea. But he couldn't do that, wouldn't, because... he liked living! Even if it was awful, even if he was so crushingly depressed then, the thought of that made him more physically ill than the brief moment he'd considered it as a possibility.
Tavros shook his head, eyebrows furrowing. "N-No, I... I would never, I- that's... no!" And then suddenly, he leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Karkat in a vice-like grip. "No, no, no...I-I c-couldn't and, I'm s-sorry!" Whether he was apologizing for worrying him or for not having the guts to actually do anyone that favour was unclear, but he let out a sob as he clung desperately to karkat.
