So I think Sollux would be all romantic and do cute stuff for Karkat because he knows Karkat loves that ^^'
I know this is really cliche, but that's the point; Sollux and Karkat have to do all the typical couple stuff to convince everyone.
(Plus it''s an excuse to write fluff)
Read on~
"What do you want?" Sollux's voice sounded annoyed, and I huffed, replying sharply, "Nice way of greeting your boyfriend."
"Oh. Thup, KK?" he didn't sound angry anymore; more like curious. I frowned, not knowing how to say I was sorry. I wasn't the type of guy to apologize so easily.
"I was just checking to make sure your pathetic feelings weren't hurt." I said. I could hear him snicker over the line and growled.
"Apology accepted." He was smirking, I could tell. That prick.
"I didn't apologize you f*cking ass!" I yelled, wondering how he could read my so easily over the phone. Or maybe I was just that obvious? Not like that mattered to him, of course. He didn't care. He was just doing this because the company paid him.
"That'th becauth you aren't good at admitting your mithtakth. It'th ok." Sollux was surprisingly kind about this matter, and I didn't even realize a soft smile had appeared on my face.
Hastily converting my features back into their regular scowl, even though no one was around, I grumbled, "Yeah, yeah." He simply laughed, a nice sound that sparked butterflies in my stomach for some reason.
"AA, you're back! Gotta go." he hung up, but not before I heard a giggle. It was defnintely from a girl. My stomach twisted and I stared dumbly at my phone. Who was AA? And more importantly, why did I feel so queasy all of a sudden?
I spent the rest of the day watching rom-coms, destroying my closet and throwing clothes everywhere, splattering paint all over the flat, eating ice cream, and didn't look at my phone even once.
I eventually fell asleep on the couch around 1 am, forgetting tomorrow was the wedding.
When I woke up, I was wrapped in a blanket and on my bed. I fumbled around, to see I was wearing an oversized Gemini shirt. I clutched my aching head and groaned. I didn't recall putting this shirt on, or even owning it…I hear demented whistling and the smell of pancakes waft in from the kitchen. Narrowing my eyes, I stalked into the said room and was about to sock Sollux in the stomach when I saw John on the table, humming happily when he saw me.
I went over to Sollux, whose back was turned to me. I hugged him from behind, burying my face in his back. He chuckled, flipped another pancake, and turned so we were eye-to-eye. I could feel a blush rising on my face at the close contact as he kissed my forehead lightly.
"Thleep well?" Sollux asked as he turned back to making the pancakes. Knowing he was the one who had put me into the bed and cleaned around a bit, I nodded. John grinned at me, but it seemed a little forced.
"Shouldn't you be with Strider?" I asked bluntly, and his face fell. I sighed.
"Explain." I said bluntly.
"We had a fight…over where some of the guests would sit. The most important ones would be in the front. There wasn't enough room for Jade, so he said not to put her in the front row. He said I was a brat and I called him a jerk. Then I left his house." John bit his lip, his usual bubbly demeanor cracking. I felt a little bad, and tensed up when Sollux rested his chin on my head, his slender fingers running down my side lightly.
"Maybe you two thould talk it out. I bet he'th thorry for insulting you." He suggested, his hand still touching my side. John nodded.
"That's a good idea, Sollux! Thank you!" he hugged my 'boyfriend' and ran out. I stifled a laugh; despite how opposite we were, he still amused me. Sollux was still right behind me, setting down a plate of pancakes in front of me.
"You don't have to act anymore." I said as I watched him bustle around the kitchen, getting a glass of milk and a fork for me.
"I know." He grinned and sat where John had earlier. I blinked at him, noticing he was wearing his glasses again, but didn't comment and started to eat. He was staring at me the whole time, and I began to feel a little self conscious as he suddenly smirked.
"You have thomething right here…" he wiped a bit of whipped cream off the side of my lips, turning my face a light red.
"I'm going to smack that smirk off your face." I threatened as I finished up, scarping my fork along the bottom of the plate and licking the syrup off of it. He just grinned, that infuriating bast—
"Hey, KK? Why did you trath your place?" Sollux questioned, resting his elbow on the table. His glasses slid down his nose so I could see his amazing eyes. Wait—amazing? No, I did not just think that.
"Lost in thought?" Sollux snapped his fingers in front of my face, and I jumped, pretending I hadn't just been transfixed by his eyes.
"Douche. Why did you put me in my bed and clean up a little?" I cast a look around the apartment, seeing that the ouch pillows were still covered in paint and popcorn was littered on the floor. All the glass pieces, however, were swept up and in a pile by the corner, and the paint stains had been scrubbed off the floor. The work that would have taken me all day was mostly gone.
"I didn't want to wake you up." He shrugged, fiddling with a napkin on the table. I sighed and pushed my chair back, dropping my plate into the sink.
"The wedding is in two hours, so you better get ready." I told him.
"My thuff is already here." He wiggled his eyebrows, and I rolled my eyes.
"Creep." I shot over my shoulder as I got a towel for the shower. I had stripped down and was about to turn on the water when the knob twisted. Swearing, I grabbed my towel and covered myself up in time. Sollux poked his head in, dark blonde hair more ruffled than ever.
"You know, we could contherve water by—"
"NO! Get out!" I hugged the towel closer to my body, my face flaming red. He chuckled, opening the door further. I grabbed the toothpaste bottle off the counter and threw it at him. He ducked and retreated. Victosriously, I slammed the door and locked it, hanging the towel back on the rack.
That guy was going to be the death of me.
As I stepped into the shower and let the hot water pour over my hair, I started to relax. Two days were already over. Five more couldn't hurt, right?
I came out, drying myself, and then swore at the top of my lungs when I realize I had forgotten to bring my clothes. The bathroom was all the way at the end of the hall, my room three doors away. I would have made a run for it, but Sollux was here. I didn't think he would rip the towel off of me, but I was very self conscious of my body. With my round face, scrawny frame, and thin arms, I wasn't too great looking.
"Sol!" I yelled, not knowing I had given him a nickname in the moment.
"Yeah?" his voice was a bit muffled.
"Can you get me clothes?" I prayed he wouldn't say no, and just laugh. He knocked twice on the door, and when I stuck my head out, there was a neat stack of folded clothes. I grabbed them and locked the door.
When I was done changing, I started to towel dry my hair. walking down the hall, I peered into my room to see Sollux, shirtless. I knew I was blushing, and I snapped my head back, taking a deep breath and fanning my warm face. I heard footsteps turned to see him wearing a dark yellow suit. His tie had bees on it, and his hair was spiked and gelled into sharp points. His eyes were revealed, seeming more bright than usually.
In other words, he looked like a f*cking sex god.
I turned back to the fridge, saying, "Your hair looks stupid." He laughed, which made my eye twitch.
"Aren't you going to get ready?" he asked, resting his chin on my shoulder. It was a little ticklish, and I shrugged him off. At least, I tried. He just dug his chin in more, grinning. I clamped a hand to my mouth as I giggled. He pulled back, then twisted me around so I was pinned against the counter. He started to tickle my sides, making me giggle again.
"Stop!" I snorted and laughed, not able to control myself. He just grinned, continuing the action until I buried my face in his shoulder, hiccupping.
"S-Sol!" I gasped, and relaxed as he finally stopped. I was sitting up on the counter, clinging to him. I let go immediately, noticing the little frown that flashed across his face.
"You're tho cute." He sighed, kissing my nose before stepping back so I could jump down from the counter. Blushing a little, I did so, scowling at him.
"Asshat."
Finally. I wrote this in one sitting XD sorry for any mistakes!
