Prologue
There's no solution to love. You can't escape it; you have to deal with it. Sometimes life is not fair when it comes to it, but you just have to deal with it. That's something Sollux Captor had to learn, even if he didn't want to. You see, his situation was hard. He was in love with his best friend. Not only that, but it also happened to be the male vocalist of his band.
Sollux hadn't had those kinds of thoughts about any other guys. That was until he met Eridan Ampora. In just one second, the second his eyes met Eridan's, he had fallen for him. There was no explanation for this, he just felt that way. And it was like this every single day. Sometimes it hurt to know he couldn't have him and sometimes he felt happy he couldn't have him, because maybe then those feelings would disappear. But they never did. He went to sleep every night for two years saying he would forget him, but it never worked.
They were currently touring around the US. They weren't much of an international band, but they had a pretty solid fan base. For Sollux, it was a dream come true. He had played guitar ever since he was a child, but everything seemed to be crumbling apart. Maybe it was him being overdramatic, but there was nothing he could do now. The worst part was that no one knew. He hadn't even trusted his childhood friend Karkat, who was also the drummer of his band, with this. He just felt like he would blow things out of proportion, like he always did. Maybe Sollux was just blowing everything out of proportion. It was hard, but he would have to either learn to live with it or destroy his dream of making amazing music.
And this was the story of Sollux Captor.

Hello. So this is actually a story I wrote 6 years ago that I always loved. Someone commented on it recently on another site and I decided to bring it back. Since the fandom it was originally part of is no longer that interesting to me, I decided to change things a bit so it would fit here.
Hope you enjoy it and if you want, tell me what you think of it.
