Chapter 1:
"So, explain to me why you're here, most trolls don't just come to my hive willingly…" Vriska says to the mustard blooded troll as she leans back on the chair she is sitting on. In the living room on the wall farthest from the door of the spiders hive is a couch, and facing that a bit away is a chair. Looking around more the male sees a doorway to the right, without a door, leading to the spider girl's kitchen. On the left is a doorway leading downstairs. Even farther to the left is a staircase leading upstairs, most likely to the female's room.
"I just wanted to talk." the male troll answers. Close to the exit is a fireplace and, next to that, a large TV lied out on the ground. Vriska sits back up in her chair, a bit intrigued at his answer. Raising up her eyebrow she questions him, "Oh? Talk? About what? Nothing I'd care about I bet… so why even bother me by coming here?" He doesn't answer. "Is this about the Aradia thing? Look, Sollux, I told her I was sorry! And I am!"
"No, this isn't about Aradia…" Sollux mutters quietly, reaching out to grab the female troll's hand. She moves her hand away, not even realizing what he is trying to do. He sighs, then sits on a couch across from the chair she's in. The spider girl gets out a nail file from her coat pocket and begins to file her overly sharp nails.
"Then what is this about hmmmmmmmm?" she asks him, not bothering to look up.
"I-I'm just confused!" he cries out truthfully.
"About-?" she yawns, getting a bit bored of their conversation. There's a long silence, causing the spider troll to look up at the young male. "About?" she asks again, raising her voice slightly.
"I-I think I… love you…" his voice drops to a whisper. A smirk appears on the female's face.
"I get it now, you were dared. Okay, you almost got me there!" she laughs. "You can leave now." She sighs, looking back down at her nails again.
"I wasn't dared. I mean it!" he tells her. She begins to glare at him.
"This isn't funny, Captor. Leave." She snarls, one of her spider-like fangs glisten as sunlight from the window hits it. He stands up and walks over to her. She raises her eyebrow again, a bit confused and unsure of what he's doing. He leans in closer to her and places his lips close to hers. The spider girl's cheeks flush a light cerulean blue.
"I can't just leave after I said I love you," he whispers. The male takes in the spider's sweet, honeysuckle scent then gently kisses her. The young troll flinches back, surprised.
"Does he really love me? Or is he just messing with my head…?" Vriska wonders to herself, a bit tense. "Maybe he… does?" She slowly begins to kiss him back, making him smirk a little. Vriska soon realizes what she's doing and pushes him away. She faces the wall, still continuing to blush.
"Do you like me or not?" Sollux asks, hiding his own face as well.
Glancing at him then back at the wall she answers, "Maybe. Do you really like me?"
"So… kissing you didn't answer your question?" A silence. Vriska stands up and starts to walk upstairs to her room.
Before she even climbs the first step she turns around, a smile on her face, and exclaims, "Oh, Captor, you'll have to do more than just kiss me to prove you love me!" She flips her long, messy, black hair out of her face then turns back around and continues up the stairs. Once she reaches her room, without turning around, she snarls, "now get out of my hive!' He hears her room door slam shut behind her.
"That went well…" he mutters aloud to himself. Standing back up, he walks out of Vriska's hive.
