Peixes Problems
"I just fucking can't take this anymore!" came his lispy roar.
You frowned and brushed some of his light brunette hair from his heterochromatic eyes. They fit his face so perfectly.. with his gapped teeth and freckles, soft hair forming to his face just… so… perfectly. And the tears streaming down his face anguished you "Sollux.." you murmured as you wiped some tears from his face, pushing his glasses up to the top of his head in the process "You don't need her. She's treated you like shit. You're too good for her…" He was the only one you could remain calm around, keeping a soft voice, doing your damnedest to calm your now best friend.
His ex-girlfriend, the Irish Feferi Peixes, had dumped him since she couldn't seem to understand how he worked. He tried to be a good boyfriend, but it wasn't enough for her. In honesty.. you think that Sollux would make a great boyfriend.
Choked sobs came from the Gemini and he tossed his arms around you, causing his bed to creak. You blinked, eyes going a bit wide a moment before you sigh, giving into the embrace. You securely wrap your arms around him in return, holding him close and with care. You could feel his face bury into your neck, followed by his muffled, cracked voice "Promise you won't leave me, KK?"
You smile the slightest, finding the nickname he gave you pretty adorable. As you spoke, your lips were lightly pressed to his ear. And you just couldn't help teasing him a bit- trying to desperately lighten the mood "I promithe."
This earned a weak chuckle from him and you sat there, on his bed, in his room, him in your arms, rocking back and forth until he fell asleep like that.
…It was morning. And Sollux had to shake you awake. "Shit, KK! We're gonna be late for school!"
Your eyes flickered open and when hearing the words, you gasped slightly and shot up out of the bed. Well, you tried to anyway; it was more of a rolling motion. And, oops, there you go, off the bed "God damn it, Sollux! I thought you set the alarm!"
He raised a brow to you, eyes still looking nasty from all the crying last night. And you blinked, remembering, oh yeah, he was a puddle of tears and didn't have time to set the alarm "Oh, right.. Sorry." He just sighs and helps you up.
The two of you frantically get ready, him not having any shame and stripping down right in front of you, picking a whole other outfit. "Fuck, Sol, have you no shame?"
"Nope." He chuckled a bit, "Nothing to be ashamed of." You just roll your eyes and remove your own hoodie, grabbing Sollux's yellow one and slipping it on. There, now it looked like you put at least some effort into changing into something else. You tell him to wash his face, and he does, as well as putting his glasses back on. You just look in the mirror and ruffle your hair, deciding that's good enough.
You both grab your bags and head off to school.
Later, in second period, you sat next to Sollux; algebra. You were doing a pretty decent job in the class- but it was still fairly hard for you. You just barely made it to this level of algebra, so it seemed kind of difficult. It was a challenge, of course, but learning more shit was obviously good. Plus, you're buddy was there, and he helped you quite often, making sure you could get what the problems meant. In the end, he has a high A+ and you have a high B. You were sick the other day, so you have to make up a few homework assignments.
You two didn't have 3rd hour together, so you weren't sure what he had, but you had AG science. It was an elective main course, so he most likely had geometry. You should probably ask next hour.
Speaking of next hour, it was 4th period already, and you two had gym together. He forgot to wash his shorts, and since he didn't have shorts to change into, he borrowed some chick's short-shorts. You were surprised that he got away with it; they were pretty small and… hella distracting.
You slipped up a lot. He was running around laps while the gym coach had you climbing the rope. Why the hell was he so fucking distracting? It shouldn't be that hard to maintain your thoughts… But you slipped, falling off of the rope. You tried to catch yourself, but that only resulted to giving your palms rope-burn. When you fell, you scraped your knees and let out a profanity in German. You whined a bit, noticing how much it actually was starting to hurt. It was a nagging one, but still, it hurt. Sollux heard you, and jogged over to where you were to make sure you were okay. Yeah, you were okay. It was just something that was irritating you. When he helped you up, some heat came to your cheeks due to your face pretty much fucking being in his crotch there for a bit. Damn, pink booty shorts on Captor—No! Karkat, no! Drop this shit, he just had a break up and there was no way you'd have feelings for this loser!
You sigh as Sollux helped you up. Since he seemed protective over you, he refused to let you just take care of yourself. He went and got the first aid kit, tending to the burns and the scrapes of your knees. He gave you a smile, seeming hella genuine, and it warmed you up on the inside. It was rare to have someone so close to you… you've never had before. Everyone always wanted you dead but then… there was Sollux. And he was right there. You just wished he knew what his kindness fucking did to you on a mental state.
After gym, you two went to lunch together, him supporting you most of the way. Of course, you faked the limp mostly so you could lean up against him. And what was great, is that when people would call you two gay, Sollux would just nod.
You didn't know why you felt this way about him… you'd never had before. But… it felt like love at first sight. Well, maybe not love. But something along those lines. You were instantly drawn to Captor as soon as his first smirk landed in your sight.
After lunch, you two finished up your day and he walked you to your house and gave a hug before leaving to his own house. You watched him until he was in his own house, a smile on your face. Of course, because of being so spaced out on Sollux, you hadn't noticed your father had opened the door and was leaning on the doorway. He had a shit-eating grin on his face and you jumped a bit when seeing him right there. You didn't expect him to be right in your face when you would turn around. He laughed and you let out a sigh.
"What," you snapped.
"Seems like ya've gotten close to the Captor boy, eh?"
You just grumbled and pushed past him and to your room. You got some clothes together before going to the bathroom to take a your shower, you got some other clothes together, thanking that it was the weekend. You stuffed some shit in your bag and went to find your dad, "I'm going to Sollux's house for the weekend."
He just shrugged "Yea, you do that."
"I was planned on it. It's not like I would have stayed here if you told me I couldn't go to his house anyway," you growled out slightly.
He just rolled his eyes and you left.
