Chapter 2: Drama Mama

Sollux had been sleeping rather peacefully curled up in the blankets, having made himself his own little cocoon. Happy to never leave the dream world again. It was fair to say he still believed Cronus was in bed with him, and a nervous excitement had his dreams acting wild. Then, without warning, the bed started shaking rather hard. It caused him to stir to yell at who ever had the balls to disturb him.

"CAPTOR EARTHQUAKE!" The Gemini gave a startled cry ending up with him on the floor and Dave looking down at him, fuck those shades. Dave chuckled before he took notice of his friend's condition. "Whoa," Dave saw dark round bruises covering the other's neck and chest before Sollux covered up looking away from his friend. "Got fucked, did we?" Sollux glared sitting up to strike the other when pain shot up his back again making him cry out. Dave was already gone before the Gemini thought of a cover story. Double Fuck.

Sollux picked himself up but his back side constantly throbbed with each movement he tried to make. He ended up chest down on the bed trying not to cry. Fuck! His thoughts slowly went back to the previous night causing his cheeks to heat up. He should have said something about it being his first time. No, Ampora was drunk. It didn't matter to the douchebag. Maybe it meant something to himself, though. Sol stayed on the bed for a few more moments before attempting to dress. He managed to get his boxer-briefs on before he was again near tears and laying with his chest on the bed. Was he going to have to go to the hospital? Sollux rubbed at his eyes, was it always this bad?

It had been ten minutes since Dave disappeared when Mituna slammed opened the bedroom door looking a mixture of fearful and downright furious. Sollux opened his mouth to try and calm down his brother; however, one look from the older Captor had the younger shutting his trap. The silence while dressing was nice. Mituna just seemed to get angrier every time Sollux had to pause to handle the pain.

"Tuna, I'm fine." The younger started hoping he could talk some sense into the other. "I'm sixteen and I'll be seventeen in May. I'm not a little kid." Mituna didn't say anything until they reached the kitchen.

"Tulip, I'm taking Bumbles home." Sollux kept his face away from everyone else feeling his cheek turn bright red. They probably all already knew. Christ. Fuck Strider, what did KK see in that guy? Douche bag.

"I'm fine. Put me down, asshole." Sollux snapped without warning Mituna released his hold on his brother letting the other fall on his ass causing him to hiss in pain. "FUCK!" Everyone was watching. Some turned away awkwardly unsure what to do. It wasn't really a secret that Mituna had a habit of sometimes going overboard. It had gotten worse since the death of their eldest brother in the recent months, work accident.

"Get up and walk." Mituna's voice was abnormally cold and dark. Sollux didn't bother standing up knowing what the other was trying to prove. It was bullshit really. No one was use to seeing Mituna genuinely pissed off. "Who did this?" The younger kept his eyes down as he forced himself up from the floor. He could do this. Fuck Mituna and his dickhead attitude.

"It doesn't matter, it's a mistake, and trotting me around like a show pony is only pissing me off!" He shoved past his older brother towards the front door ignoring the fact he had to limp and that he couldn't storm off like he'd like to do. "I'll be in the fucking car whenever you finish you dry-humping Tulip goodbye."

The ride home wasn't eventful. Mituna kept trying to get his brother to talk and was only getting snarls for a response. All Sollux wanted to do is die. Fuck going to school tomorrow; there was no doubt in his mind everyone would be wondering who finally got him in bed. He never understood what the big deal was about. He wasn't ace or anything like that. He readily enjoyed bodily pleasures, it was just, no one seemed, right? He stared out the window waiting for the car to stop so he could jump and run to his room as fast as he can or at least avoid answering any questions from his brother. Once the car stopped Sol did throw open the door but his brother leaned across the middle of the car and caught Sol's arm.

"Did you consent? Did you use a condom?" The younger's face turned bright red, and he yanked his arm from the older's grip. Maybe and no, probably not what Tuna would want to hear. "Bumbles! I'm worried." Sollux ignored him gradually getting out of the car then slamming the door. Mituna was quickly out of the car and after his brother. "I can carry you upstairs! Please just talk to me, Sollux! I'm sorry I was pissed!" The younger kept limping to the front door flipping off his concerned brother.

"Fuck you! Fuck you so fucking much!" Sollux hissed as he got to the door. He knew why Mituna acted like this and he was sick of it. "I slept with someone! Get over it! You can't protect me from the world! You're not Psi!" He threw open the door not caring the door banged off the wall. "Psi is gone quit acting like you're ever going to be like him!" Mituna slammed the door shut in response to the younger's bitter responses.

"I'm fucking trying! Give me a break! I'm sorry I'm not fucking perfect like him!" Sollux stormed up the stairs getting more pissed at Mituna. He didn't want his brother perfect, he wanted his god damn brother. "I'm sorry you're stuck with a fuck up like me!"

"Because that's what I fucking meant!" Sollux yelled turning around once he reached the top of the stairs. "Yep, you know fucking everything as usual, you conceited prick!" Mituna lunged up the stairs toward Sollux who just stood his ground looking ready to fly down at the older.

"Go to your fucking room, shitface." Mituna hissed with narrowed eyes. "Take your fucking bipolar meds while you're at it." Sollux turned around again flipping Mituna once more.

"Get bent!" The younger hissed retreating into his room slamming the door. He could hear a response to his comment but didn't bother trying to figure out what it was. Sollux had other things he had to wrap his head around. Family drama could wait long enough for him to at least remember what the hell happened.

The Gemini tumbled onto his bed for once happy the mattress is overly soft. He laid on his stomach while burying his face into his pillow hoping that maybe the day so far is just a dream, and he would soon wake up. If only Captors ever had such luck.

Sollux had watched the drinking contest with mild disgust honestly never finding such sport in such a game. When it finally ended no one bother to check on the clearly incapacitated Ampora on the floor. Feeling in a rather kind mood the Gemini stooped down and helped the drunk to his feet. After Cronus had thrown up, Sol worked on getting him into bed. It was easier said than done, but as often as he had to help Mituna when he decided to drink away his cares, it wasn't as hard as it could have been.

He is not expecting the other to try and hit on him. Ampora is drunk so he probably didn't remember who Sollux is or who his brother is. Once he is pulled on top of the other he started to panic a bit. Ampora was rambling on about some bullshit about oceans and sunsets. The Gemini was getting slowly more annoyed as this continued. However, the drunk eventually brought up a good point. So, what if Sollux made a mistake on purpose? He made plenty on accident, loads of times. After the sloppy beer tasting kiss, the younger said who he was. Hoping to bring the other to his senses.

"Sollux? Sounds nice, Kitten." Sollux felt like his face was on fire. Only he would end up on the swim captain's greaser brother, but his self-hating was cut off as he felt rough hands slip into his pants and grab roughly at his ass. "Why don't ya wiggle out 'a your clothes for me, Sol?" Sollux felt his breath was caught in his throat trying to quickly decide whether or not to leave the sexually frustrated drunk or for once have his own fun. He ended up answering his own question by squirming out of his pants then tossing them off the bed. What the hell was he doing?

Almost instantly this sparked the Ampora's delight as the intoxicated teen quickly pinned the other under him. Sollux shifted uncertain he should trust a practical stranger with a task such as this but he couldn't voice his concerns as alcohol flavored lips crashed against his own. The hacker gave a startled sound but was quickly making more pleasured sounds as the messy kiss continued. His heart felt like it was going to burst from the heat that consumed his body. He wasn't used to this. Soon other clothes were removed from both parties causing several breaks in the heated make out session.

With clothes gone, kisses were trailed all over the younger participant. Sollux covered his mouth with a hand not wanting to hear the pathetic sounds that left himself. Some of the kisses turned to sucking and others to hard bites. He held his whimpers and cries in his throat the best he could, but a hand came up removing the Sollux's hands.

"Don't hold back, Kitten." Ampora's face was suddenly in his own making the Gemini tremble slightly. A smug smirk on the older's told Sol the other knew exactly what he was doing. "It's just me 'ere." The younger looked away with feeling uneasy. Could he still even back out? He didn't think so.

"I'm not use to this." Sollux admitted softly causing the older to chuckle.

"Don't worry about playin' for ta same team. Nothin' wrong about feelin' good." Ampora has a stupid smile across face that caused something in Sollux's heart to break a bit. Why the hell did everyone walk all over this guy and treat him like trash? Maybe he acted like a douche, but he had good, at least some. Sollux moved his hands to rest on Cronus' shoulders.

"Then make me feel good." The Gemini whispered leaning up pressing a needy kiss to the other's lips unaware he was starved for this type of attention.

Sollux's entire face was bright red or felt like it was anyways. He had no desire to check if his assumption was true or not. Who the hell would he even get a hold of. He couldn't ask his brother how to get a hold of Cronus, going through Eridan was a big no. Wait. What the hell is wrong with him? Did he like Ampora? No, he couldn't. The whole family was a bag of dicks! No way in hell the feeling in his chest was love-love. Just…romance aftershocks or some shit. The Gemini heard his stomach growl loudly at him. Right, he didn't eat this morning. Hopefully, Tuna was already in his own room, and Sollux wouldn't worry about tiptoeing around him.

Cronus was grateful his father had enough sense to buy both him and Eridan their own cars. He really didn't want to hear about the gossip that was going to be around the school today. Eridan had continued his little fit for the rest of day and into the night. The younger Ampora was still being pissy by the time school had rolled around, today that is. Then there's the fact he couldn't sleep all night plagued with his thoughts about the youngest Captor. The young blonde seemed happy enough to take anything given to him, even when pain reached his eyes. The nerd had a masochistic streak in him. Not that Cronus is a sadist, but he couldn't deny he did enjoy the other's pleasure. Quickly, he shook the thoughts from his head. He was almost to the school, and he didn't need a fucking tent in his pants.

Karkat was the first to grab Sollux from the crowd coming in. The small albino had rather sharp eyes and disliked wasting time even though he seemed to do that a lot, so the Gemini wasn't shocked when his best friend swooped in on him from the crowd. He almost asked where Karkat's boy-toy was but the look on the other's face clearly said he wasn't in the mood for the usual back and forth banter. Sol didn't even put up a fight as he was dragged off to part behind the school. Once outside Karkat rounded on Sollux with angry eyes.

"WHO THE FUCK DID YOU SLEEP WITH?!" The hacker flinched back from the yelling, opting to stay silent. "I swear to god, Captor! I thought I was your best fucking friend! Why the hell am I finding out from Eridan that you got all kinds of fucked at Makara's." The cancer was, bright red in the face, making wild gestures from annoyance. "Seriously, who did you sleep with?" Sollux wasn't sure if he could tell Karkat the truth. For the first time, he felt he had to lie to his best friend. He knows Cronus and Kankri had history.

"I don't know. They were gone when I woke up." He started walking off waving his hand dismissively. "Let's get out of here before ED shows up." Karkat looked as if he was about to object to the idea but then just went along with the plan not really wanting to deal with the swim captain either. Eridan would be wanting his answers and he knew how to get them.

Cronus plopped down at the morning table tossing his bag on top of the already growing pile. Meenah was chatting with Damara about some class project. Kurloz and was signing with Mituna who still looked pissed. Kankri was simply reading a book while Porrim was drawing up some new tattoo art.

"So, is it true about the baby bee?" Ruffio asked as he got to the table looking at Mituna. The Gemini's expression changed from his normally go-lucky one to one of pure rage. Kurloz laid a hand on his friend shoulder ready to hold the skater back if things got ugly.

"Mind you own fucking business, Nitram." Cronus felt as if the whole room went cold as Mituna spoke. The whole group looked uneasy anticipating a fight to break out. "Don't see me asking if your little brother has been fucked by his boyfriend, do you?" Ruffio looked a bit red in the face but sat down and dropped the matter entirely. Cronus stood up and grabbed his bag feeling uncomfortable.

"Where are you going, Cronus?" Kankri asked looking up from his book. Cro looked at the floor and gave a shrug. It was so weird when Kankri would speak to him like that. Hot shame washes over him for a moment. What if he fucked with Sollux like he did Kankri?

"Feel like walkin' around, ya know? I'll see ya later." With that Cronus walked away not feeling any better than he had moments before.

Sollux grunted as he was thrusted into a set of lockers. Karkat was yelling at the hacker's attackers but the Cancer soon had his own problem. The Gemini turned to face his attacker unsurprised it was Eridan Ampora and a few of his goons. Same thing every day since the prick hit a growth spurt and shot up past Sollux as well as everyone else, except Makaras and his own brother. Once again, the hacker was pinned successfully against lockers by the swim captain while Karkat was losing his temper with the goons.

"Finally let someone in those pants, Captor?" Eridan sneered looking almost angry with the hacker for some reason. "You were getting to be as pathetic as Cronus." Sollux looked away from Eridan as hurt swelled up in his chest. Cronus was easily a thousand times better, unless, fuck, maybe Cronus already told him, and Eridan was just fucking with him before he told. "Speaking of useless wastes, he wasn't much help. So I want to know from the source, Captor. Who could get you naked." Sollux wouldn't lie, he felt a lot better knowing Cronus hadn't said anything. Sollux narrowed his eyes at the other.

"Fuck you, you damn creep." He huffed shoving past him. "I know you get lonely, but wanting to know who I fucked? That is lowering the bar so much further." Eridan didn't seem to like that too much. He caught Sollux's arm roughly and tugged the Gemini back into place.

"I would be the best fuck of your damn life." Eridan hissed as Sollux made a disgusted face. He shoved the swimmer the best he could.

"Yo, you fuck heads know who you're touching." At the other end of the hall came Dave, John and Tavros at his sides. One of Eridan's goons had a hold of Karkat's arms. Karkat was glaring at Dave.

"Fuck off, I can handle my own shit!" Karkat huffed suddenly taking control and flipping the much larger male over himself and onto the floor. He kept a hold of the other's arm. "I'm not your damn damsel in distress!" There was a pop and the jock cried out as Karkat let go of the arm. Dave didn't seem at all shocked. Eridan seemed mostly annoyed with how everything was happening. After all, he wanted Sollux on his own.

"Are we done?" Sollux shoved past Eridan once more with a huff. "I'm fucking done." He walked past everyone, he needed to get to class. Karkat was still making a huff, now shouting at Eridan for his bullshit. Dave seemed to slowly walk the other away from the swim captain. Sometimes it seemed like Dave would be the only one to calm the hot head down.

Cronus was bored by the time lunch rolled around. Most of the school was muttering about who finally got into Sollux's pants. As he sat down at the lunch table he heard bit of what his brother and Meenah's sister was talking about.

"I wasn't even being that mean!" Eridan whined looking at Feferi for sympathy. "I just wanted ta know who he slept with at the party." The girl shook her head in disappointment.

"I have Karp in first block." She said sternly. "You said some horrible things Sollux! I know you may not have thought you were being mean. I hope you are ashamed of what you did!" The friendly girl stood up storming off to another table which gladly welcomed her. Eridan pouted before scowling at Cronus.

"You need something or you just goin' ta stare at me with that stupid look on your face." The younger Ampora snapped as Mituna plopped down a few chairs from Cronus followed by his girlfriend and best friend. "Got somethin' ta say, sat it, Cro." The newcomers didn't question the obvious family drama. Cronus opened his mouth to say something but another voice cut him off.

"For fuck sakes, take a god damn hint!" Sollux snarled from a nearby table. A goon from earlier obviously wanted to make a point. Mituna was getting on his feet as he saw Sollux being shoved. Other people were watching Sollux get backed against a wall. Sollux wasn't a fighter, he could dodge but he wasn't a fighter. A fist came up, and someone else grabbed the wrist.

"Ya might want ta rethink that, bud." Cronus has reacted faster than even Mituna could have. Silence swept over the cafeteria. Sollux felt stunned. Cronus glanced over at the younger, offering a slight smirk. Sollux wanted to glare, be pissed, but all he could hear was: "You look like ta sea." A teacher was hurrying over wanting to stop any more fighting.

"Sol," Mituna sprinted up putting a hand on his younger brother's arm. Sollux's attention jumped to his brother. "Are you alright?" Sollux nodded, his eyes following Cronus back to the table he came from.

"Yeah, I'm just…I should go to the nurse." He mumbled brushing past his brother. His heart felt like it would fall out onto the ground. What the fuck was Cronus' deal.
