The Boy Raised by Lusus
Summary: I was afraid. I was afraid of being judged because of how I was raised. I was afraid of being labeled an outcast. I was afraid because I knew no matter what I would never be accepted by others that were the same as i am. The worst of all though… I was afraid of being left alone. Just the thought of having no one to care for or someone who would care for me scared me to death because believe it or not the feeing of being unwanted hurt more than the worst cut or bruise I have ever obtained. So yes, I was afraid. I was afraid of many things…but… then I met him. He was the same as I yet so different…He feared just as I did because of one insignificant little detail. No one saw the beauty he possessed and he taught me so many things. So yes, I have learned. I may have been born with fear but I have been taught love.
Disclaimer: I do not own Homestuck or any of its characters sadly but if I did oh trust me you would know. There would be so many Gamkar moments and Kurloz and Kankri would be having hot kinky- you know what? Let's start the story! –que the nervous awkward laughter.

The boy raised by Lusus
Remember the name Gamzee Makara.
The evening sun was fading behind the angry gray clouds as day quickly turned to night, creating new shadows and dark patches around the three suspicious looking travelers that were passing by. Two adult trolls, the male a gigantic intimidating blue blood and a rather masculine female cerulean blood, and a freshly hatched indigo grub.
The small grub, not having a body developed enough to withstand the cold, cried out as a sharp gust of wind blew threw the gloomy, misty forest. A small drizzle had began to form as the temperature slowly dropped and the grub shivered as it thrashed around uncomfortably in the blue bloods grip.
"Aye you little fucker! Stop squirming around or ill accidently squish you to death!" The blue blood growled out shaking the terrified grub as it hissed and squeaked as it thrashed. The grub hissed loudly then opening its tiny jaws displaying tiny, yet sharp, fangs then slammed its mouth onto the open area on the adult trolls hand.
The adult troll grunted in pain. The little jackass bit him!
"Why you little-"The giant bared his fangs, giving the grub a single bone crushing squeeze. The grub let out a loud squeak before cowering away in the blue bloods hold and the blue blooded chuckled highly amused with himself, well, that is until he felt something warm trickle down his arm slowly.
"Oh bloody hell! The brute has gone and pissed on me!" The blue bloods face distorted to not only one of disgust but horror as he looked from his arm to the shivering grub who was whimpering quietly to itself in fear.
"Would you shut the hell up? You're going to attract extremely unwanted attention you idiot!" The female of the pair snarled as she folded her map that she held and stuffed it into her messenger's bag to avoid losing it in the harsh freezing winds that pushed at them.
The blue blood opened his mouth to retort but shut it quickly, looking at the upset grub he shook his head, sighed, and then fallowed his female counter part. The weather soon had taken a turn for the worst as the storm picked up. Soon the small drizzles turned into violent showers as the wind shook the tall trees around them with a great force. You could faintly hear the sound of predators picking their prey through the night. The cerulean female looked back as she held onto the nearest branch.
"Are you alright back there?" The female shouted over the deafening rain, growing anxious when she got no immediate answer.
"I'm alright.. just.. A little preoccupied at the-"
BOOM!
The blue blood snapped his head up at the unexpected sound just in time to see the large trunk of a struck tree come crashing down in his path. The blue blood rolled out of the way, accidently dropping the grub in the process, and the female screamed out in terror as the trunk managed to land on the blue bloods arm with a sickening crunch. Blue blood leaked out as he tried to pull his arm free from the burning tree and the cerulean female rushed to his side quickly. Seeing that the trunk had completely shattered his arm it was obvious he would not be able to get his arm out with out completely tearing it off, she pulled a medium sized axe from her bag she gave him a look that held an apology. Without any warning or comforting words she let out a small cry as she brought the axe down on his arm, blue splattered everywhere as she ignored the pained cries from her partner. Delivering yet another blow she held her breath as the smell of his blood became over bearing. The cerulean quickly helped her partner up when she successfully cut the arm clean off and started to drag him away.
"W-wait our orders w-we have to-." The giant was cut of by a croaked cough. The pain had become unbearable but he bit his tongue and stood strong like the noble blood he was. He looked back to see the flames licking around the small wiggler as it cried out in horror for help. Indigo blood stained around the area and the blue blood guessed it had gotten cut or it scrapped itself when it fell from his hold. Flames engulfed the area around them as they hurriedly moved through the forest.
"It doesn't matter anymore! We did what the Condesce told us to do, to get rid of the next heir to The Grand Highblood's throne and there is no WAY that little nuisance can live through this." The female troll's voice shook as she swallowed down her tears.
Both troll's hurriedly walked through the forest, neither looked back to the frightened grub that whimpered and whined weakly as it watched the adult pairs form fade into the forest. The flames grew and rose to frightening heights as it spread even more across the forest, the rain could do nothing to settle fire as it ventured closer and closer to the little wiggler blocking its view. The small little poor thing curled up as smoke filled its lungs making it harder and harder to breath and it let out a small croaked trying desperately to fill its lungs with air. Little indigo droplets trailed onto the rough ground below it as it tried crying out again to seek protection but it was cut short as fire licked its way up its small delicate shoulder burning him. The grub let out a fierce sounding wail as its vision began to go dark. Opening its eyes one last time it jumped as a large pair of nostrils huffed into its face. The grub shook as it looked up eyes wide in amazement as it saw the large sea-goat. The sea-goat stuck its big tongue out then licked the grub once tasting its blood making the grub whimper even louder. The Sea-goat purred comfortably to the small grub as it fell into the hypnotizing yet alluring world of unconsciousness.
…A few earth months later… Remember the name Karkat Vantas. A cloaked man paced outside a tent impatiently as he awaited his second born. He grew restless as he heard the wails of his Matesprit as the Leo brought their second born son into a world so full of hate and segregation. Blowing his shaggy boyish styled hair out of his bright red eyes he paced faster in distress.
"Relath thignleth. The Dithciple will be fine the hath done thith before you know." The Signless shifted his tired eyes over to his morail The Psiioniic and nodded slowly in defeat. He moved over to his life long friend and sighed taking his hood off he ran a hand slowly through his hair.
"Yes my friend, I know but I cannot help but worry. Many do not live through the second birth." The Signless rubbed his candy red eyes that had bags under them from sleepless nights as he took a seat. His moirail only nodded silently before papping him a couple times on the back to help ease his pale companion's distress. He too was worried about The Disciple's health as she birthed his moirail a second prodigy since the birth of grubs were extremely intense and often took a toll on a low bloods health. For now they could only hope the birthing went smoothly but from the lack of response they got form the Dolorosa they immediately guess they were having some complications. Even still they could hear the Disciple's cries of pain as she called for her Matesprit to be by her side but the Dolorosa hissed at them when they tried to go in. He even had to restrain the Signless when he tried to barge in there to comfort his lover.
"It will be fine thignleth. Jutht hold on and hope for the betht." The Psiioniic lisped out and the Signless let out an aggravated breath. The two sat outside deep in thought for what seemed like hours before they finally heard the precious sound of a whimpering grub being brought into the world and the Signless quickly stood and pushed his way into the tent to see the Dolorosa holding a small mutant red grub wrapped in a bundle of red and olive stained blankets. The Dolorosa looked to him and smiled as she held out the small wiggler and for the four time the Signless forgot to breathe completely as he held the small grub. Right as the Psiioniic came in he too froze as he looked from his lover to the Disciple who waved to him weakly. He waved back until he saw the new member of the group in his pale companion's arms. The Signless held it protectively as the new born squirmed looking around looking for the warmth of its mother. The Signless smiled brightly and a small bright red tear escaped his eye.
"You look like thit Dithciple." The Disciple smiled to him because it was true. She looked as frail as ever right now and not to forget extremely tired, sweat covered her and the bed below her was stained mostly with olive and a little bit of bright red her wild yet beautiful hair looked knotted up as she laid there. The sight was certainly rare since the Disciples surprising strong body held enough muscle from living in the woods for most of her life to take down a giant hoofbeast. The Dolorosa placed a soft hand on her adopted sons arm making him snap out of the trance he was in.
"What will you name this little one my son?" The Signless looked to the Disciple and smiled.
"We agreed on the name Karkat… Karkat Vantas." Signless looked to the Psiioniic and smiled. "It looks like Sollux will have a new play mate." The Psiioniic smiled back warmly and slapped the Signless's back softly laughing he spoke.
"I would love that."
And so as the Psiioniic and his Matesprit exited the tent to leave both parents to rest with their new born the Signless crawled into bed with his love not minding the dirty sheets at all he smiled kissing her lips softly. The Disciple let out a loud purr at her red mate's display of affection and moved close to snuggle against him, careful of the tiny grub that softly snorted between them, she fell asleep to the sound of her matesprit's soft purring.
The Signless reached up to move a strand of hair from her eye view as he too felt tired. He kissed her forehead and smiled at the content mew she let out. Tonight they would rest; tomorrow they would introduce their little Karkat to thousands at his father's next sermon.
A/N: This isn't really the first chapter since the next one will start their journey together. This just shows how Gamzee was found by his Lusus and how Karkat was born. I decided to make the female troll give birth like a human would but theirs is more painful and agonizing. There is a little pit of fluff between the Signless and the Disciple here since they will be kind of like Karkat's Mother and Father :3. There will be unrequited Solkat just to warn you guys but most will be pale. The Signless and Disciple have for kid's total (Kankri, Muelin, Nepeta, and Now Karkat.) but Kankri and Karkat are the Signless's prodigies just as Muelin and Nepeta are the Disciple's. Next chapters will be up soon (Maybe not too soon but ill post as fast as I can!) so look out for it okay? I hope you guys will like this more than my last story since that one had no real plot line to it just a small story and a little bit of smut. This will have smutt but you have to let me strengthen Gamzee and Karkat's trust and bond first okay? See you soon I hope!
