********Author's Notes********
Sorry for the late chapter. And for how short it is. This one just DID NOT WANT TO BE WRITTEN. Uugh. So, have a bit of fluff.

Karkat's eyes fluttered open and he found himself tangled in the lanky and warm figure that he fell asleep with. Sollux was a very light sleeper, and Karkat decided to stay where he was and maybe try to fall back asleep. Just as Karkat closed his eyes, Sollux's phone lit up, causing the troll to stir a bit. Karkat just decided to let it be and curled up again, until it dinged two more times. Sollux's eyes opened a bit and he sat up and stretched, letting go of Karkat. He grabbed his phone and looked at the screen, the text barely reflecting on his red and blue glasses that he slept in.
"Who is it?" Karkat asked groggily. Sollux rubbed his red eye and yawned.
"Thpiderbitch. She wantth to know how I'm doing. Apparently np told her or thomething. I really don't care." He lisped. Sollux turned off his phone and lay down back in bed. It was hard enough to get him to go to sleep, even if Nepeta had given him some sleeping pills. There was no way he was falling back asleep again. These facts aside, Karkat still lay back down beside his friend.
"So, are we still moirails?" Karkat asked uncertainly. Sollux turned to face him, his head propped up on his hand.
"I think that 'matethpritth' hath a nithe ring to it." He stated, a faint smile painted on his lips. Karkat's toes curled a bit.
"If that's your way of asking me out on a date, that's cheesy as fuck." Karkat said, pretending like he wasn't screaming on the inside. He was sure that the only quadrent that he would have filled was moirailagence, which he was giving up at the current moment.
"Thayth the one who watcheth the shitty romcomth. Don't lie. Thith ith ekthactly how it wath played out in your head. And yeth, it ith my way of athking you out on a date." Sollux countered. Karkat rolled his eyes.
"Fine. But nothing too fancy." Karkat scooted closer to his newfound matesprit and Sollux wrapped his arms around the smaller of the two.
"Oh and Sollux?"
"Hm?" He hummed in response."
"Can we, um, not go that fast? I mean, like, in our relationship." Karkat asked, worry edging his voice.
Sollux kissed his for head lightly. "Of courthe we can, kk."
"Thanks."

Sollux and Karkat emerged from the bedroom like dragons, their eyes adjusting to the sudden amount of light. Nepeta was on her laptop I the living room and smiling, most likely talking to Terezi or Equius. He kind of scared you, and you were surprised that he hadn't made the autistic cat girl move in with him. Sollux made them toaster strudels and they sat down in the living room with Nepeta. She started talking about how Rose wanted Nepeta to take in her cat since her and Kanaya got an apartment in a complex that doesn't allow pets and Roxy couldn't. Sollux said that he would be fine with it, especially because it looks like it has two sets of eyes.
Karkat left soon after because Kanaya had invited him to decorate the new apartment, and Kanaya had done so much for him that he felt that it was only fair that he repay her in one way or another. She had used some of the money that she earned from one of her fall fashion collections to help Karkat pay for his house that he couldn't afford at the time. She was like the spirit of generosity, a real rarity to find, in Sollux's opinion. Sollux was mindlessly coding when he heard a faint knock on his door.
"Who ith it?" Sollux called.
"Nepeta, just came to tell mew that I was on my way to Equius'!" Nepeta said cheerily in reply. Gamzee was already over at Tavros', so he would have the house all to himself for a while.
"Thweet." He lisped in response.

He was done with his coding soon after, and was bored out of his mind. He surfed the internet for a while, reading some articles on , mostly the ones by John Cheese. Once he had read all of those, it was only 2:00 am, and he didn't have any other projects to do. He leaned back in his chair and sighed. Out of his peripheral vision, h saw the little Trollian icon flashing on his computer screen. He leaned forward and clicked on it, seeing that Aradia was pestering him.
2:03 am apocalypseArisen began trolling twinArmageddons -
AA: Hey s0llux

TA: How are you doing?
AA: I'm great, actually!
AA: I just came back fr0m a trip with Jake to 0reg0n. We went t0 this really pretty waterfall place and it was S0 C00L!
The two carried on with idle conversation for the next few hours, not really talking about much of anything. By the time it was 4 AM, Aradia said that she was going to bed and bid her farewells. Sollux leaned back again in his chair, thinking about what he was going to do for the next three hours before Nepeta got home. Then they would probably play Jenga or something. He decided that he was going to watch as much of RoosterTeeth's Let's Plays as possible.
