I think by now we all know that I'm not Hussie, but I shall say it agin. I do not own Homestuck!
-Sollux-
I lounge on the sofa and run a hand through my hair. Staring up at the ceiling, I dig out my phone and check the time; it's only 8:15. I let out a groan and roll over. I know that I won't be able to sleep, I don't even think that word is in my vocabulary. I start to space off when my phone goes off. I jump slightly and grumble at myself; it was only the phone you idiot. Cracking open one eye, I read the new message from Eridan.
hey sol I don't exactly want to talk to Ampora right now, I'm not in the best of moods and all he does is talk about how rich he is or some shit. Don't get me wrong, he's still a friend of mine; but one can only take so much of Eridan Ampora.
what do you want ED? I set my phone on silent so I won't be alerted when he messages me back and I pad over to the fridge. Cool air swirls around my legs as I search lazily for something to eat, I should really go to the store soon; there's nothing to eat in here. I close the fridge door with a huff and throw open one of the cabinets; I have to have some sort of food in here. I see a pack of ramen noodles and fish it out from the back of the cabinet. Well at least it's something to eat. I leave the water to boil and plop down on my sofa and flick through the television. Nothing really catches my attention and I start to fidget, I've been on edge all day today and my mind keeps wandering back to Karkat. Will he really stay with Strider? I mean he did say that he still loved him.
I start to chew on my lip and start to space off. Of course he's going to stay with Dave; Dave has looks, already has a good job, he's popular at school and he's not some bitch like me. I glare down at the floor and remember that I was talking to Eridan, well more like ED was talking to me. One does not simply talk to an Ampora. They have to wait to "be graced by the Amporas wishing to contact them." Apparently they have some sort of royalty in the bloodline so they believe that they are better than everyone else.
cant I just say hello? Is it gillegal to sea howw a friend is farin?
coming from you iit must mean that you need 2omethiing 2o what do you want ED?
okay you caught me gillty I do need somefin. I roll my eyes at his stupid fish puns. How can he demand respect when he uses such demeaning fish puns? I will never understand him, as much as I love solving things; just thinking about the mysteries that shrouds him gives me a migraine. wwhale I wwas goin to bring fef to the carnival but she decided that she has "otter" plans an I reely dont wwant to go alone an I wwas wwonderin if you wwould like go wwith me instead
no
wwhy knot? I quickly start to type a response when I remember that I have been boiling water for my ramen noodles. I jump up and head towards the kitchen and dump the noodles into the bubbling water and go back over to the sofa.
why should ii degrade myself and go to the carniival with you? why dont you just a2k 2omeone el2e?
thats the wwhole problem there isn't anemone else I can ask come on sol it wwill be glubbing fintastic I let out a groan and know that I won't be able to say no to ED, as much as I want to sit around my hive all day and gather dust; he won't allow it. He will just keep bugging me.
soooooooool ill let you choose the first ride Oh how could I ever resist that? Having the privilege of choosing a ride before Ampora? Damn, I'm fucking bursting at the seams with pure excitement of being able to have this opportunity. I answer him as I tread back to the kitchen and stir the noodles.
you have to pay for everything
sol do you think that i am made of made of money or somefin?
do you really thiink that ii am 2ome 2ort of bubbliing iidiiot or 2omething? ii bet that you are drowniing iin money riight a2 we 2peak. I strain the water and throw in the package of seasoning, stirring it; I reach for a plate and a fork.
okay but only because i dont wwant to be alone its not because i sea you as a friend or anyfin
yeah whatever. I shove my phone in my pocket and dump the steaming noodles onto my plate and start eating.
wwhale im on my wway so be ready
iill be 2ure to take extra time on puttiing on makeup
oh clam up already sol. I finish eating my ramen and decide that I should change out of my sweat pants and into "something that won't disgrace ED's image while we're at the carnival" A knock sounds out at my front door and I grumble to myself, he was probably there the whole time and would've forced me to go to the carnival with him if I had said no. That fishy bastard can be so pushy.
"Come in." He opens the door and struts inside of my home, wearing his usual flamboyant attire. . . . with some sparkles, does he think that we're going to a strip club or something? Well, better not ask because then he will then provide a very long explanation on how his fashion sense is so much more prestigious than mine and that "I, a simple land dwweller, wwill nevver understand the art an beauty of the vvast distinguished fashion of the sea dwwellers." He crosses his arms, his overabundance of rings glimmer underneath the light and Eridan gives me a displeased frown.
"Wwhy are you not ready yet Sol?"
"Well maybe if you had given me more time inthtead of thitting on my front doorthtep like thome kind of thtalker." He gives me a hurt look as I growl out at him. I point to the sofa I was sitting at earlier, "Thit there, I will be like five minuteth. Don't fuck anything up ED." Eridan turns his nose into the air and sits down with a dignified huff.
"Like I wwould wwant to touch your peasant furniture anyway." I flip him off and continue up the stairs I can tell that this is going to be a long day.
Eridan stumbles off of the roller coaster and rushes over to the garbage can nearby. I stand next to him as he starts to retch. Okay, so maybe going here with him was worth it; all throughout the ride he was screaming like a little girl and I can't help but laugh. It was his fault for letting me choose the first ride. He manages to pull away from the garbage can and stares wearily at me, his face a light shade of violet while he wipes his sleeve against the wrist of his sleeve.
"Okay, next time you wwill not be choosing any kind of ride." I smirk and walk to a park bench. Crossing my legs I watch as Eridan walk slowly over to me. He sits down and gives me a small glare.
"I don't think that I can go on a ride for a wwhile."
"That'th what you get for taking me to a carnival." He pushes his hair off from his forehead and regards me with his large violet eyes.
"Wwhat's wwrong? You're not being as big of an asshole like you normally are." If he can see that something is bothering me, it must be written across my whole fucking face because ED isn't the most observant trolls out there in the universe. I purse my lips and shake my head.
"There'th nothing wrong ED."
"Cullshit, there's somefin wwrong. Tail me, don't be so koi." I cradle my head into the palm of my hand. Am I really going to go to Eridan about this whole thing? Eridan is the one usually who needs the relationship advice. This whole week has been so fucked up and I don't even know what to think anymore.
"It'th jutht thome thit with KK and Thtrider. Nothing too important." Yeah not important at all, you know, it's just that I'm watching the troll that I love slowly be pulled back into the arms of Strider. It's not making me want to fucking jump off of a building in frustration or anything. A spark of interest flashes across his eyes and he leans forward and examines me closer.
"Wwhat's goin on wwith them that's making you be a total floundering wwiggler?"
"Shut the fuck up ED." He raises an arched eyebrow and continues to scrutinize me. I eventually crack under the pressure and tell him some stuff that has been happening lately. Afterwards he still has the same look on his face as before and I instantly regret telling him all that stuff, he's probably going to hold this above my head for the rest of my life. Fucking great.
"Wwhale you see, I wwould fight for the hand of Kar." I look at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"That'th the motht thtupidetht idea I have ever heard in my pathetic lifetime. What fucking thentury are we in? The fucking thirteen hundredth?"
"Okay, don't need to act like a dick. Good cod, I try to help you an you fuckin bite off my head." I don't say anything and he gains a mischievous grin that sits on his lips. "If you do not wwish to fight Dave, then wwe can think of another wway for you to be with Kar; I havve a plan."
Author's Note
So here is chapter four! :D It would've been up earlier but I've been testing all day at school. I'm so glad I'm done with Human Anatomy and Physiology! It was a two hour long test and the college average was a 40 percent and I got a 39. . . It was so difficult though! I guess that's what I get for taking a college class during highschool. I didn't even remember half the stuff on it. I wanted to cry. Anyway, I'm going to start having Karkat choose between the two; so if you want him to be with one over the other be sure to tell me in the review! Okay, that's it for now. Bye!
