Chapter 1

You couldn't take it anymore. You can't. You just can't.

But you don't give a pile of hoofbeast shit.

Like anyone cared about you. They always ignored you, and if they didn't ignore you, they were doing something else.

For the past few days, you have locked yourself in your hive, only staying inside your respriteblock, drowning yourself literally in sophor slime of your recuperaccoon. It kept the self-loathing part of your subconscious from giving you nightmares.

During this period of time, you had absolutely no contact from anyone, not even your quadrantmates. They're probably were either worried about you or too busy to care. You didn't care about either of them, you just wanted to be alone.

You ignored all calls, texts and messages. You didn't want to your idiotic, not caring friends at all, not in this state you were in.

Suddenly, there was a knocking on your hive door.

"Just ignore it, Karkat. It's probably someone trying to get in." You had told yourself reassuringly.

"They'll give up soon."

After a few minutes of knocking, there was silence. And suddenly you hear the door open and close slowly and then footsteps.

"Wait, what the actual fuck?" You question, ears pricked in response to the footsteps.

Someone broke into your hive. The question is though, who? You slowly get out of your recuperacoon, grab your strife specibus, equip it, and climb back inside.

Who the hell would just enter your hive without your permission? Well there were possibilities. It was either a thief or the handful of friends that have a key to your hive which whom doubled as your quadrantmates.

You didn't know for sure though. But they probably couldn't stop worrying about you and came to check up on you.

[S] Karkat: Weigh the possibilities.

Possibilities of what? Oh. Okay. You start to weigh said possibilities, it could be your matesprit, his moirail/your best friend, i your /i moirail, or one of your closest friends.

Your answer to your question comes shortly, because a voice that had a lisp said

"Hey, KK? KK, are you alive in there?"

You recognized it as the voice from no other than your programmer-hacker, two and bee obsessed best friend and your matesprit's moirail, Sollux Captor.

This brings another question to your thinkpan.

"What in the world is he doing here in your hive just now?"

After hearing the footsteps come closer, you hear knocking on the door leading into your 'room' as your matesprit calls it.

[S] Karkat: Contemplate.

You start contemplating on whether or not letting him or not. He could've just busted into your room like he always did when he visited, but you're guessing he's being polite, for once, which bothered you.

He opens the door anyway, stepping inside.

"Tho, you are alive?"

"Yeah, so?"

"Everyone's worried thick about you, KK, ethpecially JN."

"Why the fuck do you care?"

"I'm your beth friend other GZ, remember? And JN, GZ and KN all athed me to go look for you."

"Which remindth me, where the fuck did you go?"

"I didn't go anywhere, fuckass."

"Tho, if you weren't gone, why weren't you anthering your Trollian?"

[S] Karkat : Be Sollux.
