Tavros was about to respond, about to ask who would kill him, but then Karkat was moving and taking off his clothes. Under normal circumstances he would have stammered and stuttered and asked Karkat what he was doing, but these weren't normal circumstances. He watch in fear, his heart hammering. He didn't know why Karkat was doing this, but he had a feeling it wasn't anything good and he was scared.
When Karkat was finally standing before him naked, Tavros's mouth fell open. He wasn't stupid and he wasn't naive. Not like he used to be. He knew what those bruises meant, and he knew what Karkat was saying. Suddenly it was like something snapped inside of Tavros, and he felt angrier than he ever had before.
So it was someone elses fault that Karkat was so distant. It was someone else he could blame for all of this. And that someone was hurting his boyfriend. He couldn't bring himself to think of the word rape. He just couldn't stand the fact that that was a thing. That someone was hurting Karkat that much. He was shaking with anger and devastation. Angry tears were welling in his eyes now rather than sad ones. What made him feel even worse was that Karkat felt like he couldn't prevent it. He could.
"Who did this?" he asked, and his voice was quiet, before all of a sudden he was shouting, "WHO FUCKING DID THIS?" His voice quivered and broke off at the end, and he let out a frustrated sob. "I'll kill them. I'll kill them, for doing this to you, Karkat. You say that I can't... but I WILL!"
