Karkat x Depressed!Reader

You made it through the day with your pride.
But at what cost?
They said that you won, just not what you lost. Maybe you're overreacting, but maybe you're dreaming. Maybe.
You slumped on your bed, not caring about the PesterChum message that popped up, not caring about your tear stained face. The cold metal in you hand shone with an evil glare. You brought it down sharply on your exposed stomach.
One for the people,
Two for the names,
Three for the sadness,
Four for the pain,
Five for the loneliness,
Six for the scars,
Seven for cowardice,
Why is this so hard?
Eight for the hatred,
Of others and yourself,
And nine for the love,
That you've never felt.
You didn't even flinch. You had done this before, each in pairs of nines. Someone out there hated you.
"______?" You heard the all too familiar voice of Karkat outside your door.
"Coming." You say, cleaning the blood from your arm. When you open the door, Karkat grabs your bad arm and drags you inside. You suppress a loud yelp of pain.
"Dammit Karkitty, what the fuck?!" You asked, and he shrugged.
"I was bored. I wanted to see you." He said, and you sighed, loudly.
"Why is your arm so bumpy, ______?" He asked, and you bristled, snatching your arm back from the troll.
"No reason."
If I told you, you'd hate me.
"Mmmhhhmmmm. I'm looking." He said, and you stood, fully intent on running, but Karkat tackled you, and almost ripped your sleeve open trying to pull it down. The scars were uncovered. You flinched as he ran a finger across your arm.
"Why... What... What is this?" Karkat asked, disgust lacing his voice.
"Do you think it's easy being called a stupid emo fag who should kill herself, Karkat? You don't fucking know what I have to go through." You said, and then he did something unexpected. He leaned down and hugged you.
"K-K-K-Ka-ark-kat, what the fuck?!"
"I'm sorry, ______. I'm so, so sorry. I'm sorry you have to go through all this shit." He said, before kissing you softly.
"It's... It's ok..." You stuttered out, and he smiled softly, before helping you stand up.
"Let's fix this."
