Humanstuck! Sollux and Aradia, idea gotten from my lovely sister's friend ExperimentalSubject, so enjoy. Moirails BTW.

Sollux, to everyone else, was an arrogant, overly-sarcastic douche-bag who thinks he rules the school. Though, the girls love his lisp. Yup, you heard me. His lisp. Well, all girls...except one.

Her name was Aradia Megido. She was the librarian's assistant and is considered very witty. Sollux, when all of his girls left him for class, waltzed into the library and looked around for something to do. Aradia, being at the librarian's desk typing at her computer, happened to look up to see the teen looking around the library like it was his first time.

Aradia stood, adjusting her glasses on the bridge of her nose, walked up to the junior with a bored expression. "How may I help you, Mr. Captor?" Sollux grinned at her.

"Actually, I was looking for a new maiden to-" Aradia cut him off suddenly.

"Leave, Mr. Captor. If you aren't here to read, then please escort yourself out the door." Aradia turned and went back to the desk to type up some new book shipments, leaving Sollux confused. Why couldn't he woo this girl? He growled at himself, stomping out.

Aradia saw this little tirade of his and him stomping away, and a small smile twitched at the corners of her mouth as she continued her work.

The dual eyed teen paced back and forth in his house. His guardian saw him and asked,

"Hey, something wrong, son?" Sollux didn't say anything; he just sighed. His guardian sat down on his son's bed and patted next to him.

"Son, you know you can tell me anything." Sollux nods, sitting down next to his father.

"There's a girl in my school that doesn't seem to like me. What so ever." Sollux's father chuckles.

"Are you finally having girl troubles for once?" Sollux scowls, making his father stop dead in his tracks. His father clears his throat, continuing.

"Well, Sollux, for one..." That friendly gaze suddenly turned stern and hateful in the eyes of Sollux's father. "Stop being an arrogant jerk towards everyone you know, and maybe she'll like you. Maybe everyone will actually like you for who you are."

Sollux looked down at his feet. The words leaving his own father's mouth stung a bit. Like a bee sting. Except it was true. Ever since his mother had died, he became stuck up and arrogant towards everybody around him. Maybe his father was right about his attitude being this way, maybe that girl could change him.

"Maybe you're right, Dad. Thanks for dealing with me." Sollux hugs his father tightly before letting go, running downstairs. His father, at the top of the staircase, yells down to his son,

"Hey! Where are you going?" Sollux, after putting his yellow sweatshirt on, grinned genuinely and replied,

"School."

Aradia turned a page in her book that she was reading when Sollux burst into the library, soaking wet from the rain. Aradia jumped up, her book sent tumbling to the floor. Aradia dashed over the the teen with concern evident on her face.

"Mr. Captor! What were you thinking? Going out into the rain like that..." She mumbled that she was worried about him, making Sollux ask what she said.

"It's nothing of major concern to you. Please wait here, Mr. Captor. I'll go and get replacement clothes for you." Aradia starts to walk away from Sollux, though she's halted by the grab of her left wrist. Sollux waits a moment to speak.

"I actually came for you, miss." Aradia grins slightly.

"The name is Aradia, Mr. Captor. Please release my wrist so I may fetch your clothes." After a short time, he reluctantly lets go of Aradia's wrist, and she walks around a corner. Sollux sighs heavily.

"What is wrong with me..." Aradia was about to came from around the corner again when she heard Sollux speaking to himself. She simply hid behind a bookcase and tuned him in.

"There must be something wrong with me if I already like this girl, and I've only met her twice. God damn it, Captor...What's wrong with you?" Aradia chuckles lightly as she steps back into the dimly lit room.

"Here you go, Mr. Captor. Changing room is right outside the doors, so come back inside for some hot cocoa after you're finished." Aradia's smile was so gentle and peaceful, it made Sollux just want to melt. Sollux couldn't stand to be away from her now, but went to change.

Aradia hummed a song that popped into her head called Fairy-tale by Alexander Rybak. The almost-silent creak of the library doors made Aradia turn to meet Sollux's gaze.

"They're a little big. Mind fixing that, please?" Aradia smiles softly, nodding. She heads to her desk and gets a knitting kit. Aradia walks back up to the confused teen and holds her hand out.

"Well?" Sollux just stands there. "What?" Aradia tilts her head to the side.

"I need you to take off your shirt. How else will I fix it, Mr. Captor?" Sollux blushed, then took it off, handing the yellow shirt to her. Sollux went to sit down at one of the nearby tables. Feeling like she did something wrong, Aradia takes the coat off of the back of her chair, and walks up behind him. Aradia gently places the fur jacket around Sollux's torso, starling him.

Aradia swiftly turns around. "It's just to keep you warm, Mr. Captor. It should only be a small while before I've finished with the shirt." Sollux remains silent, fearful of his words. After 5 minutes, Aradia gives the new shirt to Sollux, and he puts it back on. It fit perfectly.

"Thanks, AA." Aradia furrows her brows.

"AA?" Sollux nods.

"Yea, is something wrong?" Aradia shook her head.

"No. It's just I've never had anyone call me by such a name before."

"You mean you've never had a nickname?" Aradia shook her head slowly.

"I'm afraid not. I've never really had any true friends. They all either moved away or...aren't here anymore." It was obvious that the topic triggered her in a bad way, so Sollux immediately said,

"Well, I'm your friend right, AA?" Sollux smiles brightly, making Aradia retaliate that same smile back.

"Of course, Mr. Captor." Sollux's look dims as she said that, making her become confused for the umpteenth time.

"Call me Sollux, AA." Aradia smiles gently, looking at the ground. Silence passes between them, and they listen to the soft pitter-patter of raindrops. Aradia finally looks up and nods.

"Okay then." Aradia's eyes shown gratitude towards the used-to-be arrogant teen. "Sollux."

For Experimental, so if you don't like, that's you.
