Chapter 8: Movvin In

Several days after Eridan and Feferi's fight.

"Sol. It really is nice of you to let me live here till I find my own place," I picked up one of my many canvases laying in the back of Sollux's car and followed him up a staircase to his apartment.

"Yeah it'th fine. I'm uthed to having a roommate already," Sollux struggled to get some keys out of his pocket as he was holding onto a box of who-knows-what. Finally shoving open the door he and I walked into the dark room.

It wasn't what I was expecting, really. Instead of the smell of rotting food and old clothes, it smelt like honey and Febreze. Placing the box he was holding next to a small television he walked over to the kitchen and flipped up a light switch. A kitchen bulb flickered on.

"Yeeeaahh, um... It'th not that great of a plathe like your uthe to but it'th pretty homey onthe you get thettled in," Sollux scratched the back of his head and glanced around the small kitchen/living room.

"Do you have a balcony?" He looked at me and tilted his head in confusion.

"I wouldn't want to get any paint on the carpet," his eyes lit up in realization. Stumbling over to the couch he pushed it slightly, enough for him to fit behind it. Tugging on a curtain, he ripped it off to reveal a sliding door leading to a small empty balcony. He pulled back the glass screen and a puff of dust rushed in.

"Cough Cough Thorry. I don't really go out there."

Ignoring his comment I walked out the door and placed my canvas on the dirt filled balcony. The site wasn't all great but it was nice enough to have a feeling of warmth. It was also messy enough and plain to make it my own little space.

I whispered to myself," It's perfect..."

"Hmm? What wath that?"

"Uh... Nothin' I was just talkin' to myself," leaving the canvas there, I dusted my shoes off and walked back into the small one room apartment. Sollux showed me the rest of the apartment after that. He had a twin sized bed, even though his feet hung off the edge, a tv, a few gaming consoles, and a computer inside the bedroom.

Nearing the end of the day, we decided to call it quits. Grabbing some soda from Sollux's fridge, we sat down on his couch and just started talking.

"Ya'know Sol. If you want, we can switch your bed with mine. It looks like it can fit in the bed room if we move some stuff." I took a small sip of the soda in my hand and looked at him.

He was in the midst of chugging down his soda and he nearly spit it on me," Okay... You have to thtop with all the surpritheth cauthe I've been doing a lot of thpit taketh when I'm with you," he wiped off his mouth with the back of his hand and leaned back into the sunken couch cushions.

"If your talking about the waterbed then it'th a one hundred perthent yeth. And I wouldn't mind you bringing in the flat screen tv, or the food... or maidth."

"Sol, what the fuck, no. I'll bring the waterbed and flatscreen but that's all."

"But the maidth, man! The maaaiiidddtthhhh," he was now rolling around in the cushions.

"No. Plus I doubt they'd like a lispin' nerd who drives a mini-van with a honey addiction," I started laughing when he started rolling even more.

"No fair, you get girlth falling for you every time you walk outthide," he huffed and decided to stop rolling and just stare up at the cieling.

"I don't try, it just happens."

"Well fuck that," he took a swig of his soda and I laughed at his frustrated expression.

"You know thomething ED?"

"Hmm?"

"You don't need to anthwer but... I wath kinda curioth about what happened between you and FF. You two theemed tho clothe when I meet the both of you."

Sighing, I ran a hand through my gelled hair and started to explain," Actually... When we both meet, me and Fef were really stressed during that time so, I guess, you kinda helped us relax. Me and Fef had a pretty rocky relationship since highschool. We argued a lot. But one day after we graduated, both of us became really busy. We didn't talk much so it was like we were close friends, not siblings."

"I'm thtill pretty confuthed though. What happened between the two of you when AA wath at your houthe?"

"Let's just say... We learned that we never really knew each other."

"Huh?"

"Fef was pretty oblivious to what happened to me. I was bullied a lot in highschool and, yes, she would try to help me but...She always thought that I was the one who always caused the trouble. I didn't want her to know what happened because I knew she would just get into more problems. I kept my life away from her as best as I could."

"I thee... I'm really thorry."

"Don't be."

We sat together staring at a blank tv screen for what seemed like forever. It was quiet until a grumble was heard from Sollux.

"Uhh...What'cha want for dinner?" Sollux blushed a little.

"How 'bout we order in. I'll pay."

"Yup. Thoundth good to me!" Sollux jumped up and stretched before walking over to his phone on the kitchen table.

"Hey Sol."

"Yeeeaahh?" he started typing in the number of a PizzaHut into his phone.

"Ya mind if I take a quick shower?"

"Towelth in the clothet."

"Thanks," I walked into the bedroom and slid open the closet. Grabbing a towel from the top shelf, I walked over to the bathroom and shut the door. Once I was fully engulfed in hot water I realized I forgot my clothes in a bag next to the bed.

Hopping out of the shower and wrapping the towel around my waist, I opened the door.

And ran straight into a half dress Sollux.
