Let's skip ahead a few weeks to what I call "My Big Mistake." Aradia had to visit her mom and sister for a few weeks since her mother had gotten ill and Damara needed help caring for her. So, the first night she was gone, I was sitting in the living room, watching a movie when the doorbell rang. I walked over and opened it to find Feferi just hanging out and smiling at me. "Oh, hey FF."

"Hi, Sollux! I heard Aradia was gone for a bit and, since most of the guys in our little group don't know how to take care of themselves, I thought I'd make you dinner or something!" So, we ate and watched a movie together and, before I could register anything, we were kissing on the sofa, soon moving to the bed where shit happened. The next day, I woke up naked in my bed alone. The only evidence that Feferi had even been there was the lingering scent of her ocean perfume a few stray red hairs.

When Aradia found out, boy was she pissed. "I…I don't want to hear anymore of your fucking excuses, Sollux! You did what you did, now take the fucking ring and get out!" She yanked the ring off of her finger and threw both that and a packed suitcase at me before slamming the door shut in my face.

"Well, did you seriously expect her to not find out? How idiotic can you get?" Karkat really had a way with words.

"I didn't mean any of it, though. I still love Aradia, I was just lonely and…ugh!" A few pats on the back.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah I get it! Just, I can't let you stay with me tonight, sorry." Then yet another door was slammed in my face. Of course. How about we just skim over what happened next.

"You wwhat?!" "I can't believe you did that to purr!" "I am e%remely disappointed." "I Am Not Letting You Come In." "Aha. Aaaaaaaahahahaha!" "cAN YOU NOT"

"Sorry…" That last one, that was what I needed to hear. It was from Feferi, of course, and she let me spend the night. We watched movies together before dozing off. In the morning, however, she kicked me out and told me to go back to Aradia and apologize. Of course, she was also yelling at me. So, I went back to Aradia, and it took some time but eventually I calmed her down and we were once again a happy couple, watching movies together and falling asleep in each other's arms.

I hadn't known at the time, but I had just done something that'd trigger something that would change all of our lives forever.
