"Nepeta, what are you doing here?" asked Sollux. She smiled.

"Karkitty told me that you guys are watching a movie, and I wanted to join!" she exclaimed. "Is that okay?"

"Well-"

"Great!" she said, and immediately turned and pounced onto the couch, landing on Karkat's lap and grinning widely. Sollux figured that Karkat may have invited Nepeta, that bastard.

Karkat's face displayed a blush for a split second before pushing Nepeta to the space on the couch next to him. "Oh, hey Nepeta," he said.

"Hello Karkitty," she replied, glancing to the second female next to her. "Hi Aradia!"

"Hello Nepeta," said Aradia, flashing a small smile for her feline friend. She then turned to Sollux, still standing by the door. "Honey, can I talk to you in the kitchen for a second?"

Sollux knew where this was going, and he didn't like it one bit. He nodded, locking the front door and moving into the kitchen with Aradia. They spoke in quiet whispers.

"First Karkat, and now Nepeta? What gives? I thought you wanted to be alone!" said Aradia.

"I do!" said Sollux. "But Karkat wanted hith movie and I thaid no, but he came here anyway, and it lookth like he invited Nepeta along too. He probably wanted the movie back so he could watch it with her."

Aradia glanced towards Karkat and Nepeta, seated next to each other on the couch. "I mean, I guess that's sweet for Karkat and everything, but..."

Sollux put a hand on his forehead, sighing. "I mean, I can never get KK to do anything when there'th a fucking romcom playing. I need to talk to him, but he'th probably not going to move off of that couch."

Aradia rolled her eyes. "If they're too much, they go."

Sollux nodded and the two returned to the living room. Nepeta had decided to take Aradia's blanket and put it over Karkat and herself, snuggling up close to him. Karkat shot Sollux a glance and then looked back down to Nepeta, trying not to smile so much.

Yes KK, you're a total thtud.

Sollux had kindly asked Nepeta and Karkat to scooch over, and they complied, allowing Aradia and Sollux to sit beside each other on the couch next to the growing romantic couple. The movie was only twenty minutes in, and from what Karkat told Sollux, it was a good long movie.

Great...

"I'm hungry," said Nepeta, glancing towards Karkat, who did not move from the screen. Nepeta then glanced at Aradia.

"I'll make more popcorn," she said, moving up and returning to the kitchen. Sollux was about to facepalm when he heard a phone chime and make a kitten sound. Nepeta reached into her green coat and pulled out a small cat phone. She smirked and typed a message.

TC: :33 fucking sw33t s33 you all there

Nepeta returned the phone to her pocket at the same time that Aradia returned with more popcorn. She smiled widely and dove right in, munching on the delightful popcorn.

Sollux had really hoped that Nepeta didn't just invite someone else to Aradia's hive. That thought gave Sollux a headache by itself. He didn't want to be a total asshole and deny entry to his friends, but his friends were assholes for not respecting some GODDAMN privacy.

"Nepeta, calm the fuck down," said Karkat. "You've had enough salty shit today."

Nepeta ate the popcorn slower. "Sorry Karkitty."

Karkat slung an arm around Nepeta's neck and gave her a little kiss on her cheek. "I don't want you to eat yourself sick, alright? I don't want to deal with that shit."

Nepeta blushed softly and buried her face into Karkat's neck. "Thank you, crabbykat."

"That nickname isn't going to stick," said Karkat. "Now shut up for a second, the movie is getting good."

Sollux turned his head and gagged. He hoped that he and Aradia weren't so cheesy and corny with their romance. After some more movie watching, the doorbell rang again, and Sollux turned to Aradia.

"For the sake of my blood pressure," he said to her. "Please don't open-"

"I GOT IT!" exclaimed Nepeta, jumping up off the couch and heading toward the door. Oh please don't let it be more company... thought Sollux.

Nepeta opened the door to Gamzee, standing there with his boyfriend Tavros, who glanced around nervously.

"What the motherfuck is up, everyone?" said Gamzee, his face paint appearing lighter than it was in the moonlight.

"Hey Gamzee!" said Nepeta. Sollux's hand met his forehead.

"Hello Nepeta, how are you?" asked Tavros, smiling.

"Hey Tav! You two look nice. Come in, come in! It's getting cold out!"

The two trolls stepped inside and greeted everyone. Karkat addressed Gamzee without looking away from the screen.

"Sup, dude. Sorry I bailed on you, I had to get this movie back, but I guess plans kinda shifted."

"Aw, it's alright motherfucker. I brought us all some shit." said Gamzee. He had brought a rather big backpack, which was no doubt filled with Faygo and other sugary snacks.

"Hey Tavros," said Aradia, showing him a small smile. She knew how shy he could be.

"Hello Aradia. Your hive is very comfortable..."

"Thank you," she said.

Nepeta sat back down next to Karkat. Gamzee and Tavros had sat between Nepeta and Aradia. Sollux, Aradia, Gamzee, Tavros, Nepeta and Karkat were seated on Aradia's couch, and Sollux had been both glad that it was big enough for two more people, and disappointed at the fact that two more friends might be visiting. It was fucking inevitable.

This entire situation was ridiculous (and it was getting cramped...). Sollux felt bad for indirectly causing all of this to happen to Aradia. Although looking at her now, Aradia was starting to warm up to the presence of her friends. Perhaps this could be fun?

Gamzee had opened his backpack and pulled out a bottle of Faygo. "Aw yeah...motherfucking miracles..."

He opened the drink and took a long swig, offering the bottle to Tavros, who politely declined with a smile.

"If any of you motherfuckers want a bottle of Faygo, or some candy, ya'll are more than welcome to have as much as you damn well please." said Gamzee.

Aradia threw up her hands. "What the hell," she said, and got a bottle of Faygo for herself, and another for Sollux. She handed him the bottle and shrugged her shoulders, taking a longer drink than Gamzee.

"Yeah girl," said Gamzee. "Feel the elixir movin' through ya."

It was going to be a long night.
