Sollux Captor was only seven when he was diagnosed with Brain Cancer. During the five agonizing years of Chemotherapy and surgeries he was finally cancer free. He later found himself suffering with a major case of Social Anxiety, so he shut himself inside, rarely leaving his room. The only person he spoke to was Karkat Vantas, until he met Eridan Ampora.

2. Chapter 2

Your name is Sollux Captor and you are 12 years old. Currently, you are sitting on the edge of your hospital bed, waiting for your Mom to come pick you up. Today is the day you are Cancer free. You finally get to go home and be normal. You do not really have any hair now, so you wear a yellow beanie to cover your head. You have glasses, because you are blind as a bat without them. Other than the fact that you no longer have Cancer, and that you get to go home, you are even more excited about seeing your best friend, Karkat Vantas. He was released 4 months ago and your heart is pounding to see him again.

The door to your room opens, and you jump up to your feet. Your Mother is suddenly in the room and hugging you. You would not have cared if your BEST FRIEND were not right behind her, watching. You are blushing; you can feel it, as you push your Mom's arms off you. She is crying and smiling; you cannot help but grin back. Karkat walks over, giving you the biggest hug you have ever received in your life, wow. You think he breaks your spine in the process, but you will get him back eventually. His hair is finally growing back, and it looks like he has a buzz cut. You put a hand on his head, feeling the prickly spikes of hair rooting from his head.

Karkat had Cancer just like you, except it was a different kind. He had Blood Cancer, diagnosed when he was three years old. You two became friends when the nurses put you both in a room together, so you would have someone to talk to. He was out before you though, cancer free, leaving you all alone in your Hospital room for 4 months. He came to visit anytime he could, but he was always busy with school.

When the two of you pull away, you suddenly notice the tears running down his cheeks and oh no, you are crying too. You are both crying and it is ridiculous, and you cannot stop. You have never seen Karkat cry, but you had heard him before. He used to cry himself to sleep sometimes, and when he did, you used to climb into his bed and sleep next to him so he would calm down. However, it was too dark you could not see shit. Therefore, it was a little weird seeing your friend cry like that.

The three of you are all crying and hugging and you cannot stand it. Your Mom finally wipes away her tears and announces that she is taking you both to get some ice cream. That almost instantly makes the two of you bolt out of the hospital room because it has been so long since you have had ice cream. The hospital had it of course, but it was always half-melted and only chocolate. You don't like chocolate.

On the drive to the ice cream parlor, your Mom hands over your DS. You haven't seen this thing in a while. Karkat whips out his own DS and challenges you to a damn Pokémon battle, which you cannot refuse. That would look bad on your ego. Also, you just really, really want to play Pokémon. You end up beating him at his own game, making him scream out a loud curse and a list of other profanities. Your Mom almost slams down on the brakes because she can't handle such language. She turns around in the driver's seat and stares at Karkat with her mouth hanging open, as she hasn't heard those words before in her entire life. You suddenly laughing because this is hilarious, but your Mom shuts you up with a glare. She slowly turns around, muttering things in Japanese that even you don't understand. Karkat just sat there a little petrified because he wasn't expecting all that to happen, the look on his face makes you burst out laughing all over again.
