This is my first Homestuck fanfiction. It was inspired by an RP I had a few days ago. Going to make it multi-chapter because I can. Sorry if there are any mistakes.

Disclaimer: I do not own Homestuck. Hussie does. The lucky bastard.


Karkat sat in his chair and pulled up to his desk, where his hivetop was sitting. He opened it and logged into his Trollian account. None of his friends were online, so he sat and waited. He had nothing better to do. He wasn't going to sleep. No way! Not with the nightmares he'd been having.

He let his mind wander. Unsurprisingly, he let his mind wander to the one place he didn't want it to wander. Sollux Captor. The troll he had been flushed for since he was four sweeps old. The one troll he knew would never reciprocate his feelings.

A notification sound came from the Trollian application. Now Karkat had one friend online. And it was none other than Sollux. With a sigh, Karkat opened the chat window in Trollian.

Karkat's internet connection failed, as it had been doing for the past few days. He shut down his hivetop and slammed his head on the desk. "Lousy, stupid, goddamned internet connection."

The mutant-blooded troll left his respiteblock to tell his custodian to stop watching stupid internet videos, as they were taking up all of the WiFi.

"Crabdad! I'm trying to talk to someone up here! Can you just not use the internet for a little while?"

The crab lusus clicked and screeched. After some persuasion from Karkat, he closed the videos. The young troll returned to his hivetop and logged in to Trollian once again.

Perfect! He was talking to someone who actually had a chance to ever be in his quadrants, specifically the red quadrant. "Crabdad! You can watch your stupid videos again!" Karkat announced. He heard a gleeful skree come from down the stairs.

'At least someone's happy,' he thought to himself, promptly slamming his face on the desk.


Thanks for reading the first chapter! This was basically just to introduce the fact that Karkat has feelings for Sollux. Next chapters will be better. Review and stuff if you want.
