After you were done fooling around with the two brothers, the three of you went inside and you sat down on your couch, winded because damn, you haven't had much physical exercise in a long, long time and your body was sure as hell not used to it. But, it did feel good to practice with a sword. You haven't ever used one, well, that you can remember, but you felt powerful with that thing in your hands.

Groaning, you wipe the sweat off your forehead. "Wanna jutht watch Netflikth?" You asked the two brothers who are sitting down, the older in the armchair and the younger in the loveseat. "I really have nothing elthe to do, jutht moved back here."

Dirk looked you over quizzically. "Where you from?" He questioned, and you rolled your eyes.

"I'm from here, I jutht moved to America a while ago and jutht moved back a few dayth ago." They nodded and you sunk more into the couch. "Tho, wanna watch Netflikth or no?" You ask again since they didn't answer you the first time you said it.

They seriously look like they have some brother-telepathy between them, because they just look at each other before they both turn their heads to look at you at the same time. Dave responds this time. "Yeah sure man, what do ya' got?"

"You know what Netflikth ith, right? Why don't you jutht look through it for what you want to watch while I make thome damn popcorn for mythelf, you two want any?" The two of them both give you a thumbs up each. Good, you weren't sure if you were able to eat all of it by yourself.

Nodding, you walk off into the kitchen while the two Strider brothers talk amongst themselves.

"Kanaya, you really need to stop giving away your hunting grounds, it won't be good if he just eats up everyone and you have nothing to hunt anymore."

"Excuse me, and what about you giving yours up to that girl you were dating last year?"

"That was because we were dating, Kanaya. Really, you need to be smarter, you don't know who he was."

"He was in need of a hunting ground, why else would I give up mine to share so easily? Really, I expected you to know more about your own sister than this, I'm not as stupid as my clothes may make people think."

"I know, but I'd watch it, he seems stupid. Doesn't have a hunting ground yet? What sort of vampire is he?"

"You don't know that, he's probably new to the area and you know how hard it is to find territory of your own that hasn't been claimed yet and you don't have to fight for it."

"True."

"Anyways, how have you and Kankri been doing?"

"Besides the fact that I have to constantly deal with him blowing his 'trigger' whistle at something I saw or wear, good."

Kanaya chuckled. "That bad, huh?"

"Pretty much."

The movie they had picked out was an action movie, The Avengers. You're not complaining, you love The Avengers and the three of you are on the couch, you on the right, Dirk in the middle, and Dave on the left. The movie, sadly, was almost over.

The three of you weren't even bothering talking to each other, you're just sharing the popcorn in Dirk's lap and taking fistfuls at a time to feed yourselves throughout the movie. Thank fuck you made a shit ton, because at one point, at least one of you is eating.

As soon as the movie ends, you stand up and stretch, cracking your back as Dave and Dirk watch every movement you make. That's… creepy. They're both creepy, honestly. The demonic one grins at you while the werewolf seems more interested in just watching the television credits. You still hate having a werewolf here, and you're sure it wasn't for Dave, that you and Dirk would be fighting constantly.

"Tho, why don't you two tell me, why do you wear thothe shadeth?" You asked, thinking that why not, asking that couldn't hurt anyone.

Dave and Dirk exchange glances at themselves before looking at you. "The sun's bright man, and demon's need dark, Dirk just likes anime." Why is Dave the talkative one, even? Dirk just sits there and nods, confirming Dave's claim. You sigh. Alright then.

"You don't need to wear them inthide, you know, I don't like the thun either."

"Obviously." Dave retorts and leans more into the couch, making you roll your eyes at him.

Whatever, you'd drop it for now, you don't care enough about the topic before you get a text from that girl Meulin again.

' (=`ω´=) HEY! SORRY ABOUT THAT THING THE OTHER DAY, BUT I CAN GIVE YOU ANOTHER GIRL'S NUMFUR THAT SHOULD BE ABLE TO HELP MORE!'

You quirk an eyebrow up at your phone as you look at her message. Hmm… "I'll be back in a moment, gonna talk to thith chick."

"Thought you were gay, Captor, you sure did like that Ampora kid over you."

"Shut up, I'm bithekthual you dumbath." You say, heading into your room as you flip him off and flop down on your bed. Alright, who was this girl?

'2up, 2orry about the waiit but ii have people over and had two get away. what'2 her name?'

'(=`ω´=) HER NAME IS LATULA AND SHE'S R3333ALLY RAD! DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE PAWSIBILITIES OF NOT BEING NEAR HER, SHE'S RIGHT IN LONDON!'

'alriight, what'2 her number?'

She gives you her number and you save it to your phone under 'Latula' so you know who she is later on, even though you should really call her right away, or text her.

'diid you tell her about me?'

'(=^・ェ・^=) DON'T WORRY I DID, SHE KNOWS ABOUT YOU, JUST CALL HER UP! DON'T WORRY SHE'S AWESOME!'

You suppose you have to take this girl's word for it.

'k, thank2 by the way.'

'(=^・ェ・^=) OH, BY THE WAY, ENGLISH ISN'T HER FIRST LANGUAGE SO I'D BE SIMPLE WITH WHAT YOU SAY, SHE'S KOREAN.'

'... you're 2ure 2he'2 iin london though, riight?'

'(=^・ω・^=) YEAH! I'M PAWSITIVE!'

'alriight, 2ee ya later, dude.'

'(^・o・^)ノ" TALK TO YOU LATER, PAWLLUX! TELL ME HOW IT GOES!'

Oh god, cat puns. But you know what, you guess you can handle it, she is pretty okay.

Now, to try and get a hold of this Latula girl she sent you the number of. You should probably text her first to see if she's even on her phone for that matter.

'uh, hey. iit'2 2ollux, meuliin'2 friiend. 2he 2aiid 2he told you about me?'

It took about five minutes of waiting while you just screwed around on the internet, but finally, you get a response from this Latula girl.

'h3y!'

Okay, interesting typing style, but hopefully it won't be impossible to read.

'2up.'

'oh not much, r34lly. just bor3d 1s 4ll. m3ul1n told m3 4bout how your3 k1nd4 bumm3d 4bout not h4v1ng 4 hunt1ng ground!'

'2ure.'

After she gave you her address, you told her you'd keep in touch before shutting off your phone for the night. You were beyond tired and you just wanted to sleep for now.

"Hey, dickwadth!" You call as you come out of your room, the two looking over at you in surprise. "Don't be thurprithed I called you that, we're headin' to thleep for the night, all of uth, you two thleep wherever you want out here, but I get my room, if you really want, go back in the attic."

"Will do man." Dave says, motioning for Dirk to follow him, to where you assume, the attic. You sigh as you head back into your room and strip down for the night. It's only 4:05am, but you're really fucking tired, even though you usually fall asleep sometime around 6am. You're not quite sure why, but you just need a very good nap for now.

You're just in your boxers when you get on your phone and start Skyping Karkat.

twinArmageddons: hey kk, what're you up two?

twinArmageddons: and a niice good bye two you two, dude.

You stop pestering him on Skype and set your alarm to 8pm at night because you plan on sleeping the whole day away, like usual, even though you're going to bed early, you don't want to wake up before your alarm. You yawn, stretch, and get under the covers in your bed, hoping Dave and Dirk are not destroying anything you or they have in this house. You don't want to find something unpleasant at all, now that you know of their existence.

It's still bugging you that you haven't seen Feferi since they made themselves known to you, and you usually see her at some points during the day. You just shrug it off to she's sleeping or hiding from them. She had mentioned one night while you two were playing truth or dare that she hated demons. You'll just maybe leave a note for her when you wake up tomorrow or something. Yeah, that sounded like a good plan.

You curl up a bit more under the blankets as you slip your glasses off of your nose and put them on the bedside table where your lamp and phone are, which has its alarm on and you just hope you wake up only when that goes off. Hopefully the two others you just found out were and are in your house won't decide to surprise you and wake you up.

Whatever, all you want to do is sleep, which you happily do as your eyes slip shut, double checking you set your alarm, and listen to the faint howl of the wind outside of your windows in your room.
