Hey guys, I know it's been a while since I had updated or done anything, really, but as soon as this is published, I'm gonna write more of the last chapter or the Vamp War. :3 So there shall be more on the way :D
So, stay tuned ^u^
I don't own Homestuck, obviously.
They were in the robot pile. She was laughing at him, watching him begin sweating after she told him about her idea for role-playing as the other. She was serious and he knew that, but still, she laughed.
Nepeta scooted closer to Equius. She pawed at him and started to purr. "Purrlease, Equius?" she asked in her adorable cat voice. "I think it'd be a great idea!"
"No. Why would you even suggest that we part take in such a lewd act?" She stuck out her tongue, at his horror, and laughed again when she opened her eyes to see his face. "Nepeta, do not do t-that LEWD act again, I command you." She shrugged and leaned on him. He tensed up immediately.
She sighed again. He was always so scared he would hurt her. She knew that he was strong, but he's only hurt her once and that wasn't even his fault! If he hadn't, she would have died and he knew that. All the same, he apologized proficiently and was sweating to the point where he would soak a towel if he patted his face with it.
He carefully leaned back, so as to not hurt her, while a million different scenarios haunted his mind about what would happen if he touched her, patted her head, or anything really. He could barely stand her laying on him. He couldn't even imagine thinking of touching her. He went still, almost as if he was dead, so he wouldn't harm her if anything did happen.
She smiled and started to purr after she had gotten comfortable on him. Equius was still tense, but even through that, he began to grow tired once again. He was used to no sleep, but every once in a while he had to get some naps in. He looked down at Nepeta with worry in his eyes.What if I...accidentally...crush her?He thought in horror and then cleared his throat to get her attention.
"Nepeta, I am afraid that I am getting rather tired. I was wondering if it would be alright if I slept for a while before we continue with our activities?"
"Of course! You haven't gotten much sleep anyway, hehe," Nepeta said as she got off of him and climbed up higher in the pile. "
What are you doing?" He asked her as he watched through his customized, darkened lenses.
"I'm moving so you could sleep, silly." She got up to a nice place and walked in a circle once before laying down and smiled down at him.
He shrugged, glad he could move freely once more, and stretched his huge limbs before falling off into a deep sleep, hoping that nothing would happen to his moirail.
Equius woke to being pounced on by his moirail. His eyes shot open and saw Nepeta flying off of him as they tumbled down the robot pile. They landed next to each other on the floor. He had landed on her tail so she was whining about it, through all the layers of laughter she was producing. He scowled and got up and sternly crossed his arms and glared at her.
"Nepeta." She stopped laughing, but held the smile. "Why did you do that?"
"Because! It's so much fun," she smiled and purred again before he spoke again.
"I command you do not do that again."
The smiled disappeared.
"Huh?"
"I don't want you to pounce me anymore," he looked away so he wouldn't see the hurt in her eyes. "I find it quite annoying." He really didn't, he actually thought that they were clever and quite...cute.
"Oh." She looked down to the floor and kept quiet.
He sighed and looked back at her. She looked like she was trying to hold back tears.Oh fiddlesticks...Equius sighed once again before removing his glasses and handing it to her. She looked up at them and took them in question.
"I need somebody to keep a watch on them while I am slumbering. If you could perhaps watch them, I would be truly grateful."
With a huge grin, she reached out and grabbed them, careful not to damage them any more than they already were. "Okay, Equius! I'll even wear them!" She put them on and smiled up at Equius, before putting on a pokerface and saying in a very deep voice, "Grrrr, I am Equius Zahhak and I love being STRONG!"
He sighed and decided that he didn't feel like arguing with her. He was too tired for this. Instead, he just turned and climbed back into the spot he was in and closed his eyes to the sound of his moirail laughing.
== Nepeta, go play around somewhere else so you won't wake up your troll.
You are now Nepeta.
Nepeta runs down the hall, acting like her meowrail would. She laughed and played with Equius's glasses, trying to figure out how he had gotten internet on them. It probably wasn't hard. Nepeta just never had the skills for technology like some of the other trolls did.
As she was walking down the hall, she got –well more like Equius–got a notification from Trollian. She opened it up to see it was Karkat.

CG: EQUIUS, ARE YOU THERE?
Nepeta smiled and stop to type a reply. She couldn't let something like this slide after all! So as she responded, she would have to cut off all kitty puns as pawsible –POSSIBLE.
CT: D - Yes
CG: OK, GOOD.
CG: ARE YOU STILL REALLY STRONG?
CG: LIKE, IS THAT STILL YOUR THING?
CT: D - I am still e%ceptionally STRONG
CT: D - Strength continues to be my STRONGEST attribute
Nepeta laughed and tried to keep her head on topic, and out of the hilarious subject she was in right now...wait...
CG: OK GOOD.
CG: I GUESS THAT WAS A PRETTY DUMB QUESTION.
CG: I NEED YOUR HELP.
CT: D - With what
Nepeta was starting to get kinda scared now. If Karkitty had to come to HIM, it had to be pretty bad! Nepeta swallowed hard and took deep breathes to prepare her for what was coming next.
CG: GAMZEE IS ON A RAMPAGE.
CG: HE'S GOING TO KILL US ALL IF WE DON'T STOP HIM.
Nepeta, stay calm and go get Equius, the rational part of her brain told her.
XOO HOW CAN YOU THINK OF SUCH A THING?! I N33D TO PURRTECT HIM! Replied her heart.
Nepeta almost cried while rereading the message. She couldn't let this happen! She had to go and get Equius before something bad happened.
She took a couple of deep breathes then started to type. No matter how much her instincts begged her, she would NOT get her moirail. She had to show that she was strong as he was, if not, then at least protect him.
CT: D - Do I have to
CG: WHAT? ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?! YES.
Think, Nepeta, think! What would Equius say?
CT: D - Language
CG: NO, FUCK YOU, YOU SWEATY ASSHOLE
Well, it was worth a shot.
CG: SERIOUSLY, IF YOU DON'T THEN WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE.
CT: D - …
CT: D - I suppose that I could go and try to stop him
CT: D -If that means the others will be safe, then I shall go
CT: D - And purrtect them
CG: YEAH, YEAH WHATEVER. JUST BE SURE TO TAKE YOUR STRENGTH WITH YOU.

What am I going to DO?! Nepeta screamed at herself. She knew that she would have to go.
She sighed and tried to think of a plan that would get her out alive, and more importantly, her moirail. She knew that if he was in her position, he would just make her go hide or something, but he wasn't. She was. She shot up and started to run to his room, where the robotics pile was.
She carefully opened the door and walked in. She put the damaged glasses next to his head and sighed. She didn't want to leave him. She looked over and smiled, he had some spare paper on the desk. She went over and drew a diamond then smiled as she put their initials next to each side of the diamond. Next to the picture, she put ":33 s33 you soon meworail1! I purromise!"She knew he would wake up before she came back so she wanted to let him know she was safe...kinda. She slowly walked out, trying not to turn around and hug him like she wanted to.
She tried to get the door to lock, so nothing would come in and attack –just in case, but when it wouldn't, she just smashed her hand into the key pad and brought it back from the sparks that flew.
She knew the door was locked now because she couldn't even budge it to life anymore. She sighed, what's done is done. Now for the real reason I did...she turned on her heel and ran down the hallway.
