Your face fins lift and fall slowly as you try to breathe as quietly as you can. You creep up on the sleeping Sollux Captor with a mischievous smile playing on your lips.
He won't know what hit him. Literally.
Sollux is sleeping in a foetal position, his face could be welded to his knees and it would make no difference.
You take off your long deep violet cape in preparation for when you run away quickly, you don't want to trip and give Sollux a reason to beat you up.
Cape draped over your left arm, you tiptoe sneakily around corners and stick to walls. You can feel your gills take in copious amounts of air due to your excitement.
Sol is lying in the middle of a dark room. The curtains have been drawn and the only noise coming from the room is from the quiet hum of his husktop and a light snoring.
He is on the floor, using his own arm as a pillow.
You proceed to creep up on him, trying to breathe as quietly as possible, trying to do everything as silently as you can.
When you get close enough to him to slap his face like you were planning to, hand stretched and ready, he stirs.
You take a short and sharp intake of air, pull your hand back and stare at him, expectantly. Your heart races and he rolls off of his arm, once again stilling.
You mentally sigh in relief and lift your hand to hit him, only lightly. Hard enough to wake him although light enough to not cause too much pain.
Your hand falls and you hear a voice.
"ED, what the fuck do you thiink you're doiing?"
Your hand stops mid-air. He's awake. He knows it's you.
Do you apologise and run? Do you slap him and run?
No. You act like a wriggler and try to play it off.
"wwhat are you talkin' about, Sol? 'm not Eridan; i'm uhh,"
"yeah fuckiing riight you aren't Eriidan. ii can fuckiing hear your 2tupiid 2tutter you a22hole,"
Shit. Busted. You gotta make up something fast or you're so done for.
"it's me, karkat, you fuckwwad, i mean, fuckwad. um, you're really stupid, you idiot, haha how did you not know it was me you pretentious um, idiot? haha,"
"ii fuckiing know that iit'2 you, okay? ju2t 2top and admiit iit; 2ave u2 both the embarra22ment,"
Violet stains your face and you give up, however, you don't give up.
"yeah, what the fuck evver, sol. say whatever you wwant (shit) want but i am not fuckin' around, alright? haha, it's KK here, your best buddy and pal. i am actually so heartbroken that you didn't realise, you're pathetic, haha"
It's at this point that Sollux turns around to face you. His face is filled with a blatant "ii told you 2o" and he smirks. You've given him ammo to shoot you down with and he loves it.
Rather than doing what a proper troll would do and run away, you slap him right in the face and then run away.
"you can't catch me, sol!" you cry, running away as fast as you can, thanking your lucky stars that you aren't wearing your cape.
"ED, you fucker! get back here 2o ii can 2hove my fii2t iin your face!"
You run through long corridors and endless halls. You run until you can't hear Sol thumping behind you anymore and slow to a halt.
Some corridors are dark and some are lit. You stay in the lit ones and walk around, looking for a door. It seems that you have found yourself in a maze, of sorts.
There are no longer any doors and what seemed like the dark is only replaced with light.
Your face fins twitch in uneasiness and you start to freak.
Where on Alternia are you?
"sol?" you call out, "c'mon, sol. it wwas jus' a joke. you knoww that, right?"
You hear nothing.
"sooool?" you cry once again.
You are yet again met with the sound of nothing.
