Okay, so, this is my first ever Homestuck fanfic u_u Humanstuck because pff trolls don't have proms? So we've got some Sollux/Karkat, Eridan/Feferi.. Maybe one or two notices of Aradia/Equius, Terezi/Dave and Vriska/Tavros.
This will be written in four chapters, if everything goes to plan. One from Feferi's point of view, one from Sollux's, one from Karkat's and one from Eridan. I hope you guys enjoy this short fic n_n I'd also like to note this was more out of boredom than anything else. :I
"Uh, thure, FF." he replied absentmindedly to your invitation, but you didn't care. You had a date with Sollux Captor. Not just any date. Sollux Captor would be taking you to prom. You were pretty sure he was the hottest guy in school, though there were enough girls to disagree with you. You had been told on different occasions that you were one of the prettiest faces in school but had brushed the compliments off as modest as possible, usually returning a compliment.
After having made a few arrangements with him regarding picking up, you waved goodbye. When you reached the corner you made a few quicker step and then leaned against the lockers, grasping your mobile to your chest. You sighed softly out of happiness and then looked at the screen of your mobile. You simply had to tell Eridan right away!
You sent the completely with glee filled text to him, but even after five minutes you didn't get a reply. Oh well, he was probably busy. You decided to go home and lie in bed with the biggest smile on your face for a few days until prom night. That was, if you didn't have to go to school.
The days passed slowly, but you managed to survive up until the evening you had been thinking about for ages. You wore a beautiful sea-green, a-line dress. Gemstones covered the bust area up until the slightly darker colored cummerbund. From there on out the dress poofed out until the floor, making you feel like a princess. You had never felt quite as beautiful as that night. But there was no time to think about that kind of stuff. Sollux was thirty minutes late and you were starting to worry. As you walked through the house nervously, your mother followed you and tried to calm you.
"What if he's not coming?"
"He will come."
"How do you know?"
"He would be stupid not to. Darling, look how beautiful you look. You're smart, funny and amazing. There's something seriously wrong with him if he doesn't come."
"I don't know about that, mom."
As you continued a game of yes-no, the doorbell rang. You instantly ran towards the door and a big smile curled your face as you stared into his eyes. He didn't grin, something seemed off. But you didn't want to know. You didn't want to hear any of it, and frankly he didn't want to talk about it. He apologized for being so late, which you accepted. In silence, you had started to wonder why he hadn't given you a corsage.
"Look, FF, I really need to tell you thomething."
"Can it wait until after Prom?"
"I thoppothe.. but-"
"No no. Let's just get going."
The whole way there Sollux was quiet and the evening was going pear shaped, really, really fast. You couldn't help but be afraid that the whole event was going to be ruined by whatever Sollux wanted to say, and therefor wished to postpone it. It wasn't something you would normally do, but you didn't think you could handle missing out on prom. It was something every teenage girl did, and you'd be damned if you didn't get to go.
Seeing as your school was kind of cheap - something your parents frowned upon - the prom was held in the gymnasium. It wasn't anything big and if you had of gone to a different school, you may have gone to some fancy country club or ballroom. But it was nice. Your hand entwined with that of your date, but he didn't as much as even attempt to motion his hand back into yours. You couldn't help but feel completely rejected.
He smiled the most biggest and stupid of smiles when he saw one of his friends, his closest friend in fact. A very silly thought crossed your mind and you pushed it right back, despite feeling that that may explain what was going on and what Sollux had been trying to tell you. He dragged you along to his friend and you stood there, not really wanting to.
"Hey KK."
"... Hey. Who's that?"
"I'm Feferi." You almost snapped it back, then realized that tone wasn't very.. appropriate. "Oh, I'm sorry, that came out all wrong."
"See if I care."
You found him incredibly rude and said you were going to find your friends. God, what was up with that guy? Aradia, Nepeta and Vriska chattered through each other, but you kept your eyes pinned on the two boys. Karkat was giggling like a school girl, practically doing your job. You weren't sure if you were supposed to be angry or sad.
"Feferi?"
"Huh?"
"Jeez, what's up with you? Aren't we good enough?"
"Oh, guys, I'm going to Tavros."
I didn't take long before the whole group fell apart, and you were left alone. You didn't want to, but you moved back towards Sollux and Karkat. The guy who was stealing your date from you - well, it felt like it - gave you a snarl and Sollux smiled, but you were sure he didn't mean it. Your night was rapidly turning into the worst night of your life. You listened to their conversation, but whenever you said something they would look at you like you were totally out of place. Sometimes Sollux laughed at your jokes, but Karkat would snarl some stupid insult at your face and you were getting sick of it.
"I'm going for some fresh air. You coming, Sollux?"
"Thure thing, KK. I'll thpeak to you later, FF."
Seriously? And with that, they just left you to die. Okay, no need to make a scene. You turned around, and noticed there was nobody to talk to. You didn't want to bother anybody. Vriska and Tavros were drinking something while Vriska was starting a vocal-beating, as usual. Aradia and Equius were sitting at a table and talking. Nepeta and Kanaya had disappeared, so there.. You were alone.
Beaten, you moved to one of the tables and sat down. What had you done wrong? Where was Eridan anyway? You did not mean to insult him, but he could never get a date. It wasn't that he wasn't handsome or charming, but he had some.. issues. Or at least, that seemed like the easiest way to explain it. Somehow the night slid by without your date slipping back in the door for so much as a hello. You found it very out of character, very out of character indeed. You decided to find out what the deal was with Sollux.
You walked out the door, but there was nobody to be found. Most of the people had left already, so it wasn't weird or anything. You walked around to school until you reached the fountain. In front of it were Karkat and Sollux. Sollux attached a pale corsage to Karkat's wrist, having shoved up the sleeve of his tux a bit. Karkat was smiling and they were having a conversation that you didn't even hear anymore. What the.. You hadn't seen that one coming. Or wait, maybe you had. You just hadn't wanted to acknowledge it. And now you were forced to. You weren't sure if you had the right to be mad. After all, he had been telling you that he needed to say something. You suppose you had only yourself to blame.
You turned around and walked back into the school, where they were now wrapping up and there were only one or two couples. You saw Terezi and Dave, but didn't bother to speak to them. You guys weren't really close or anything anyway. You stared at the ground and felt a lot less beautiful than you had earlier that night.
"Fef."
You turned around, only to see Eridan. He was wearing a tux with a deep purple tie and his hair was stuck up with hairspray. You simply stared as he walked towards you. The corners of your mouth pulled up gently.
"Want to dance?" Yes. Yes you did.
"More than anything in the world."
And so, you ended up with Eridan's hand around your waist and your hand on his shoulders, your other hand entwined in his. You hadn't ever thought that moment would have felt so good. You weren't even sure if it was because you had been let down all evening, and he had swooped in from out of nowhere and acted as a knight in shining armor. But you knew it was the nicest thing anybody had ever done to you.
"How did you know?"
"Vriska texted me that your evening had gone to fuck, so I thought you could use some cheering up."
"You weren't far off there."
"I know. I was pissed off because you went with Sollux. I've been waiting for a opportunity like this for a while, Fef."
"Really?"
"Yeah."
And that was all it took for you to stand on the tips of your toes and gently push your lips to his. He answered your kiss and your hand let lose from his, gently brushing along the small hairs on his neck. You had never thought you could be so passionate about something. You had never thought it would be with Eridan. You had never thought Eridan could possibly be so romantic to show up because your evening went to hell. You had never thought about you two being something. But there you stood, and you wouldn't want it any other way.
