The Boy raised by Lusus
The days seemed to go by slower and slower since Karkitty disappeared and mom hasn't been doing good either. She won't sleep or eat and I'm starting to get really worried… but then again everybody has been mourning in silence, even Kankitty refuses to talk to me when I try to at least start a conversation. Mew would think that we would at least be searching the woods frantically for Karkitten but truthfully none of us know what to do and having to move around often isn't really helping with that.
Right now I walked around sniffing the air frequently trying to find someone who I haven't seen for days on end. He didn't want to be found though... I mean who would after receiving the news that your mewrail was possibly culled the exact same night you two had your last feelings jam? It would break my blood pusher if something like that happened to my mewrail, though I don't really have one yet but who knows maybe in the future I will.
I paused when I caught onto the smell of sweat, and just the tiniest bit of tears. I quickly fallowed the scent probably waking Kankri or maybe even Mituna in the process but I really didn't care at the moment as I stopped right in front of Sollux and Karkitties tent. I slowly pulled back the flaps to the opening and looked to my left immediately noticing Sollux, who was sitting on the ground with his head in his hands staring at a piece of cloth that rested in his lap. He hadn't even looked up when I entered either too focused on the shirt in front of him or he just didn't care and it hurt to see the usually cocky and smug attitude he used to have when he and Karkitten argued over something changed into a dull and depressed one.
"Sollux?" I didn't enter too afraid to set him off. Everyone seemed to be on guard around him, excluding the Signless, Disciple, Dolorosa, and Psiioniic of course, ever since Karkitten disappeared, and yes I say disappeared because I still doubt he is dead. Sollux's bipolar personality made him change moods faster than you could say sorry and take back what you said to tick him off and having Karkitty gone just made it a million times worst because now he would sometimes snap at us for the smallest things and his mood swings are getting even more violent then usual. Having a broken diamond must really hurt to have caused a person like him to start behaving like this.
"H-hey Nep." I looked at him surprised when he slowly began to sniffle and wipe his eyes. He leaned backwards so his head rested on the wall behind him and I finally saw what the cloth really was; it was one of Karkitten's old sweaters. I stared down at the black sweater that had our ancestor's symbol on front of it stitched on in gray and I almost broke down in tears. I really missed him… I blinked back olive tears before looking to Sollux who still stared intently at the black sweater.
"Hey Sollux… can I pawlease sit here with you?" He didn't really accept my offer but nor did he refuse it so I just sat down next to him in silence.
"I mith him tho much it hurth." I nodded and patted him on the back trying my best to stray away from pale as much as I could, so that meant no paps, shooshes, jams, or extremely suggestive pale interactions. Quadrants were such complicated things to fill.
"I miss him too…" I looked up to the ceiling of the tent and sigh loudly.
"I can't believe he'th gone for good." He clenched the clothing in his hands mustard tears now streamed down his face but he didn't even make a sound, not even the smallest whimper escaped him. I stared at him sadly before looking to the ground bitterly.
"I refuse…" He looked over to me with his heterochromic eyes and I repeated my sentence. "I refuse to believe he's dead… He can't be dead. He just CAN'T be!"
Sollux stayed quiet. "They, they never found a body to... to confirm that he's really gone so I don't believe it!"
"Nepeta... just go." I opened my mouth to say something else that could hopefully cheers him up. "I SAID GO!" His voice boomed throughout the entire campsite and I scrambled to my feet like a startled Kitten and bolted.
Karkitten... where are you?
"Not now Porrim…" Kankri's voice was rough and slightly scratchy from days of not talking and he sighed as he tried to close his eyes to hopefully for once in an entire week get at least the tiniest bit of sleep, dark circles were forming under his eyes from restless nights and nightmare plagued dream bubbles. His Moirail laid down right besides him trying to shoosh pap him into blissful rest but for once not only did he not want her pale interactions but he didn't want sleep and everybody knew how cranky Kankri could be after not getting his rest. It even earned him the nickname 'Kranky Kankri' from his beloved Moirail. And for once he just wanted to be left alone; he wanted to be left alone so he could indulge in his misery and so he could submit to his depression because to tell the truth he felt like absolute hoofbeast shit right now.
"Damnit woman I said not. Now!" Kankri raised his voice as Porrim once again tried to pacify her sad little pale friend and said friend quickly turned his back towards her to try to reject any of the pale comforts she offered. Didn't she understand that he did not want to be shooshed or papped or even have a feelings jam? He swore on his fathers name that he was getting tired of her clinginess.
Porrim on the other end gasped at Kankri's foul language. Where was the Kankri she knew and fell pale for that got onto anyone who dared to spit a single curse in his presence? She bit her lip and laid down also facing the opposite way as her pale boyfriend and glared at the wall of the tent. An unpleasant feeling made its way into her stomach and sunk to the bottom of it, it was the feeling of rejection. And boy did it sting like a bitch. She was beginning to felt sort of restless and unused without her Moirail's comforting words and touches as he soothed her with his soft voice and comforting tone. They used to have feelings jams each night to, as Kankri would say, 'clear pent up emotions' and now it just well…stopped. They didn't discuss their feelings or what they were worried about or scared off so the other could pacify them.
She was beginning to crave anything pale that he could offer her which consisted of small chats or sometimes nimble embraces and she needed- no deserved more. Their Moirailship had once been so solid but now… she was struggling to hold it together single handedly and it was beginning to tear at the seam. It wasn't that she wanted her Moirailship to end it was just… she craved more.
She knew Kankri blamed him and only he for Karkat's incident but he had to keep his head up high and hope for best because Karkat wouldn't want his only brother to suffer because of him. Karkat…. She noticed the impact his absence had on her ancestors and Kanaya and Sollux. Mostly Sollux though, the poor boy wouldn't even go outside to eat in the morning and she could see the misery and sadness in his eyes even the longing that was deep down inside. Her Moirailship may be collapsing but his was completely shattered in pieces that could not be repaired; ever.
She could vividly remember piece and moments of when they were young and when Sollux would sometimes give Karkat rides on his back so he could get the grumpy crab so smile even the tiniest smile. When Sollux would help the tiny cancer whenever he fell and scrapped his knee's on the stones near the river and would hug him and kiss his cheeks until his tears stopped and only small hiccups and a candy red stained knee was left; a knee that his mother, her mother, or she would place a small bandage on it and kiss it to make it all better. Before they knew what pale was, before any of this happened… and before Porrim could stop the tears. They fell; she sobbed into her hands ignoring Kankri as he sat up completely surprised.
"P-Porrim please don't cry... I'm sorry I didn't mean it… It's okay, shoosh…" Kankri wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her closer so she could wrap her arms around him and cry into the crook of his neck because for once with him pale didn't feel the same.
Outside a weary Signless walked over to his Moirail who was leaning against the trunk of a tree his eyes closed and his arms crossed and his heterochromatic like eyes shut.
"My brother." Psiioniic opened his eyes as his pale companion called out for him. "Have you by any chance seen my Disciple?"
"I believe the'th out in the woodth again." The Signless sighed and rubbed his tired eyes. Again? This was the twelfth time this week that she went out 'hunting'; especially late at night. "How ith the handling it?" The Signless faked a smile towards his pale friend.
"She has been... coping with it the best she can given the situation but I'm afraid it is an incredibly sore spot for now." The Psiioniic nodded.
"That'th underthandible.." The Signless sat next to his friend.
"How is your youngest?" The Signless looked over to Psiioniic with curiosity and worry written deep in his gaze. He was genuinely concerned for Sollux's health since he had always seen him as one of his own and it hurt him to know that the young mustard blood had loss his Moirail at such a young age.
"He… he'th thuffering…" The Psiioniic hung his head low pain echoing in his tone. "And I do not know what I thould do. It hurt'th tho fucking much to thee him like thith."
"All we can do my friend is hope for best and maybe things will turn out okay." The Psiioniic nodded solemnly and the tension in his body began to ease slightly as his Moirail shoosh papped him. The Signless paused when Psiioniic suddenly gripped his hand softly and looked to him with concentrated eyes.
"I want to know how you are holding up thignleth." The Signless frowned and slumped his shoulders.
"I…. I am regretting so much..." The Psiioniic smiled tenderly to him and started to run a hand through his boyish black hair.
"Go on…"
"I never really told him how much I loved him and how proud I was to call him my son… we kept I'm in the dark for so long and we should have known that this would happen someday." The Signless scrunched up his face as If he were experiencing the worst pain. "I regret not spending time with him when I could have and for having to choose my sermons over my own son…"
"He wath never alone Thignleth if that ith what you are worried about… Kankri wath there to lead him in the right direction and teach him right from wrong, Thollux wath alwayth there to thteer him clear of danger, know that I think about it they reminded me allot of uth when we were barely thtarting out as Moirailth ,and tho wath Muelin, Nepeta, Kanaya, Mituna, and Porrim too. Everybody made thure he wath never lonely."
"Yes but I will never forget the disappointed looks on his face when he was just a couple sweeps old and I couldn't stay and play with him because I had to go preach my ideals. He looked so hurt and sad and disappointed that it shattered my heart. And now he's… he's gone, my boy is dead" The Signless's voice cracked on the word that was said with so much despair and hurt. "And the girls are upset and Kankri won't speak because he is riddled with unnecessary guilt and my Disciple's heart is breaking even as we speak."
The Psiioniic kissed his Moirail's forehead and shooshed him stopping him from his miniature rant. The Signless inhaled shakily and exhaled.
"I should go check on my Disciple and see how she is fairing at this moment…" The Signless shakily got up and dusted the dirt off of his chest high trousers. The Psiioniic nodded before also getting up and slowly walking over to the tent his resting mate was in.
The Signless strolled through the dark forest searching through the tall trees looking for any sign that would tell him his love was there or had previously been there. He pushed stray branches out of the way and ducked before some of them could smash into his face. He searched through the branches on the high trees until he saw a lone figure sitting on a ranch up high and staring at the beautiful Alternian moon. Its light shone illuminating her skin in the darkness of the night and the Signless thanked whatever entity that was out there for rewarding him with such a beautiful lover.
"My kitten…" Signless called out gaining his red mate's attention quickly. He could see her olive stained cheeks even in the dark before she turned around and wiped them furiously before climbing down the tree with the speed and grace of a meow beast.
She walked over to him when she landed on the ground ever so gracefully and he opened his arms for her embrace. The Disciple walked briskly over to her love, her tears already returning making her vision blurry all over again and when her arms wrapped around her mate and so did his she released them. She bawled into his chest burrowing her way into his chest as she released all of her sadness over her lost offspring. The offspring she carried inside off her for almost half of a sweep, the offspring that held a piece off her heart and soul with him where ever he went. It hurt… it hurt so much to think that she was away from him and would never get to see her little baby crab ever again.
"Let it out my love…" The Signless cooed out letting soft comforting purrs pour from his chest so he could comfort his distressed mate. With one hand he lifted her chin so he could gaze lovingly intro her soft olive green eyes and he looked down to her gray olive tinted lips and to him, olive green has never looked so appetizing.
The Disciple whimpered and sniffled as The Signless leaned in to steal a kiss from his beautiful Disciple and soon soft meaningful pecks on the lips turned into a passion filled open mouth hungry sloppy make out session. The Signless pressed the love of his life flush against his warm body backing her up until they ran out of room and her back hit a tree. The Disciple meanwhile mewled as her beloved mutant ran his hand down her naked shoulder and headed further south until he stopped at her thigh and slowly lifted one so she could wrap it around his waist, the position granted much more access to the territory he had already marked over, and over, and over again and again countless times. He moved his lips down to her neck with a strangled hungry growl and slowly began to sink his numb-ish teeth into the skin between her neck and shoulder. He listened as his Disciple whimpered and mewled in both pleasure and pain and slowly rocked his hips against hers making her mewl even louder so that it echoed through out the dark forest.
"S-Signless…." The Disciple blushed a deep olive when her red partner thrusted his hips forward to meet hers and slightly grinded her hips towards him to hopefully gain more friction and pleasure for both of them. The Signless retracted his numb-ish fangs so he could lick and clean the now irritated flesh and he lapped greedily at his Disciples olive-green blood completely loving the salty yet sweet taste of his marked mate.
The Disciple let out a surprised squeak when Signless reached down to give her rear a firm and tight squeeze and she slowly began to start to purr along side her Signless as they caressed and touched each others bodies.
"I'm so flushed for you it hurts my kitten…. Purr for me." The Signless wrapped her other leg around his waist hoisting her up so she could reach his horns. The Disciple immediately began to purr even louder than before and ever so carefully wrapped her tongue around the base of his nubby horn the vibrations from her tongue sent shivers down his spine and he moaned lowly when she took half of his thick nubby horn into her mouth and sucked on it suggestively. Signless kissed the valley between her breasts and reached up to untie the Leo themed dress before momentarily putting her down so the dress could drop to the ground just as the Signless's cloak did.
The Disciple moved her hands around the Signless's high trousers right as Signless leaned down to kiss one of the globes of flesh on her chest and slowly pulled the zipper down that was on the back. The Disciple giggled when he nibbled at nipped at her breast but let out a loud sigh and bit her lip when he took a nipple into his mouth. He sucked her tit flicking his tongue with it before nipping at it careful of his fangs. He didn't want to hurt his Kitten while he made love to her.
Soon his trousers along with the Disciples tights joined the growing pile of discarded clothing on the ground of the forest and with one arm the Signless hoisted his kitten up quickly wrapping her legs around his waist while his other hand held his red dripping appendage, it squirmed and wrapped around his fingers. The Disciple licked her swollen lips at the sight of her lover's throbbing bulge and her nook began to drip in excitement, she whimpered loudly already wanting him to fill her throbbing nook with his bone bulge. The Signless leaned in to kiss her cheek before he slowly began to slide it into her withering body.
Upon contact the Disciples bulge fully unsheathed and reached upwards so it could wrap around the red bulge that was thrashing around inside of her trying to go deeper and deeper within her. With one final thrust the Signless struck home and both partners moaned out in union. He Signless quickly captured her lips as he began to slowly thrust his hips up into hers, she on the other hand tightened her thighs around his waist and thrusted back into his hips trying to get him further and deeper into her. Soon the pace picked up and the Signless was humping her quickly into the tree behind her. One still moaned and groaned quietly while the other screamed out their pleasure to the world olive staining her face in the form of a deep blush as she clawed at her mates back as he rutted into her quickly gaining even more speed though his stamina was slightly wavering.
Signless quickly picked up his seductive meow beast-like lover before kneeling down onto the ground and pushing her onto her back. He quickly straddled her before hooking her legs upon his shoulders creating a new angle for him to hit. He thrusted roughly into her placing a hand on each side of her head to keep him from collapsing on top of her, his shame glodes slapped her olive and red stained bottom sharply as he thrusted into her roughly. The Disciple came with a loud cry and the Signless fallowed soon after with a low grunt he spilled his genetic material into her tight nook and turned his body collapsing besides her.
The Signless threw his cloak over both of their nude bodies and snuggled his kitten into his chest.
"Flushed for you Signless…" The Disciple whispered before drifting off into a deep peaceful slumber.
"Flushed for you too my love." The Signless said before kissing her on the forehead and fallowing her into unconsciousness. His dream surprisingly rather pleasant…
"Signless my love!" The Disciple approached her mate who was busy practicing his preaching for his next sermon. He looked back as she approached and jumped up when he saw their grub in her arms wailing loudly. "What is wrong my love… is everything okay?" He panicked slightly but his kitten waved it off and smiled wide. "Karkat refuses to sleep so I figured you could help me with him." The Signless smiled slightly before taking the tiny candy red grub into his arms, the cranky grub hissed at it's ancestor before wiggling around even more. "Now, now Karkat." The Signless smiled down at his offspring as it threw a tiny fit before slowly relaxing into its fathers touch. Signless smiled and leaned down to rub his nose against the baby grubs. Karkat purred slightly with a pouty look on his face as his father rested his head above him but quickly crawled into the crook of his neck and grumbled before getting comfortable and quickly falling asleep in his fathers warmth listening to the tune his father hummed. "I love you my son…"
