(U/U) Chapter 11 (U/U)
"I'm gonna go get us some pop okay?"
Daima shakes his head.
"Can you get me a lemonade?"
Jerriko smiles at the soft sound of his boyfriends gentle voice. He nods and turns around heading over to the food stand. He had spent all night awake because of Daima. Some nights Daima would scream and cry until Jerriko woke him up, others he'd wake up on his own and lay there with his back facing Jerriko, acting as if he was asleep. He hated seeing his boyfriend in such an awful state, it unnerved him in a terrible way.
"Mountain Dew and a Lemonade."
Jerriko orders the woman behind the counter reaches into a cooler and pulls out a mountain dew then serves the lemonade.
"Here you go."
Jerriko pulls his wallet out of his back pocket and hands the dollars to the woman. She waves as he walks away. Something most girls did. He understood why too. Having a good tough build and green eyes, orange hair. He was one of those guys girls fell for. Daima was something else though. He was short,quiet, a red head with blue eyes that always avoided any one elses and he always wore his white shirt with the long sleeves he'd clutch in his palms. Some how though, he'd fallen in love with the socially awkward boy and did everything possible to win his love. Suddenly he's jerked out of his thoughts by the sight before him. Sether was seated beside Daima and his hands were somewhere Jerriko couldn't see. Daima seemed to be trying to push him away.
"Why the fuck are you here?"
Jerriko growls slamming the Mountain Dew bottle down hard against Sether face(Mountain Dew, it's very helpful). Daima jumped surprised and jumped off of the bleechers, running behind Jerriko. Sether crawls back slowly, his eyes never leaving Jerrikos.
"You better get your ass up and leave."
Jerriko growls angrily. Sether nods quickly, jumping to his feet and darting off across the feild to the other people. Jerriko sighs then quickly turns to Daima and grabs his carefully by the shoulder with his free hand.
"Did he hurt you?"
Daima shakes his head, his glance down and tears now trailing down his face. Jerriko pulls him into his arms and rubs his back until he stopped crying. Jerriko slowly pulls him back and runs his hand through his hair.
"You need to tell me if something happens okay?"
Daima nods quickly.
"Can I use your phone? I-I want to talk to John..."
The loud sound of metal slamming against metal is heard as Sollux enters the abandonned factury.
"Sollux, you've really grown, not the child I used to know."
Karkat turns hastily and looks up Sollux. A giant smirk covers his faace, he knew Sollux would come. Sollux barely looks down at Karkat. He keeps his gaze firm on the man sitting on the desk.
"I'm here Jake, I got what you wanted, so let him go."
The man laughs then motions the other men to grab Sollux. To Karkats disbelief Sollux doesn't fight back. They pull the bag away and pin him down on his knees with a gun behind his head.
"Sollux! What are you doing?"
Karkat screams worriedly. Sollux ignores him, his full attention on Jake.
"Where-is-the other one?"
Jake growls. Sollux simply glares at him.
"WHERE IS IT?"
Jake screams. Karkat flinches, slightly jumping back.
"Don't hurt him you bastards!"
Karkat screams as Jake stands slides off the desk and walks over to Sollux.
"Isn't that embarracing for you? You're boyfriends doing more than you, and he's the one who needs saving."
Sollux rolls his eyes and mumbles something. Jake takes a step back and fakes his shock.
"What? Say that louder, so your so called boyfriend can hear how important he is to you."
Sollux bites his lip but proceeds anyways.
"That kids not my boyfriend. I only came to fight you. I don't care about this kid. I barely even know him."
Karkats jaw drops.
"S-Sollux? SOLLUX WHAT THE FUCK?"
Karkat screams angrily. Jake looks over at Karkat with a giant grin.
"Well, then, if he's not important-"
Jake slides his hand across his neck, the man behind Karkat quickly obeys. He grabs Karkats chin and raises it, the knife at his neck.
"Why kill him? It's just a waist of time right?"
Sollux growls before the man can pull the knife across Karkats neck. Jake looks back at Sollux.
"why not?"
Sollux grins back at him.
"Why not fight me first then kill him?"
The man grins.
"You really want to die don't you?"
Sollux shrugs.
"With a good fight I'm willing."
"Fine! Get up, get your gun and let's fight."
Sollux stands slowly.
"You can fight with your guns, I'll fight with my hands."
"Hey, look who it is!"
Vriska points out, with one hand over her eyes to block out the sunlight. Gamzee and Tavros were walking together, sipping something and talking.
"Taaaaaaaavros!"
Tavros cringes but walks over to the small bench group, Gamzee on his tail.
"Hi...uh,,,,Vriska..."
Aradia pats the spot beside her and Tavros and Gamzee sit.
"What about his grand father?"
Aradia asks. Tavros sighs.
"They took him back to the nursery. Thank god they did cuz he kept asking me to bathe him."
Aradia shakes her head slowly.
"That really sucks. So have you guys heard from Sollux yet?"
Feferi asks. Gamzee shakes his head and pulls out his phone.
"That's right I gotta see if he's okay!"
Gamzee says standing.
"Eridan said he already left."
Gamzee nods still walking off with his phone to his ear.
"Do you uh...want me to come with you?"
Tavros asks standing. Gaamzee was too busy to hear him though, so he simply hurried after him.
He didn't know what was going on. He didn't know whose body was thrown down and beaten He didn't know what was flying around hitting the bodies infront of him. He didn't know if Sollux was dodging the bullets or taking them with style. The room was filled with screaming, yelling, gun shots, metal klinking against metal and the swiping of knifes. Sollux was a blur to him, jumping from one place to the next. Breaking one mans arm and the next mans wind pipe. Every time he was kicked down, he jumped back onto his feet and continued to fight.
"Sollux."
Karkat screams as Sollux falls back. The gun shots bounce of the walls causing Karkat to jump. Sollux slides one hand to his shoulder and the other just below his rib cage.
"Still can't dodge bullets hm?"
Jake says sniddley, Sollux rolls his eyes and looks down at the ground, his gaze slowly rises until reaching Karkats. Jake kicks Sollux onto his back and slams his foot down on his wound.
"You've lost."
Jake sneers, Sollux grabs his ankle and grins.
"How are you so certain? Look at what I've done to all your guys."
Jake doesn't look up, his lips slightly lower.
"But you're only one man, without a weapon."
"One man who's taken down all of your men without a weapon."
Sollux growls yanking his ankle to one side making him crash onto the ground.
"Hey, kid, come on."
Karkat looks over his shoulder and goes wide eyed.
"Who are you?"
Karkat asks pushing away. The man pulls out a knife and cuts through the ropes around Karkats wrist as a gun goes off. Karkat jumps and turns swiftly. Sollux had Jakes wrist twisted to the ceiling, bits of rumble and dirt fell over them from where the bullet had hit. Sollux looks over then immediately stands, breaking Jakes wrist as he did so.
"Marquis, get away from him."
Sollux growls, his hands balling in to fists at his sides. A bead of sweat rolls down the side of Karkats face as the knife is pressed against his neck.
"Just fucking shoot him Sollux!"
Karkat screams with tears in his eyes. All he wanted was to get away from danger already, it was pissing him off that Sollux was taking his time.
"Nasty ass boy you have here. He's too nasty for the world, why do you protect him Sollux?"
Sollux glares at him and begins to slowly walk over to the two. Marquis presses the knife harder and Karkat lets out a slight whimper.
"Sollux...do something already."
Karkat whines feeling blood trickle down his neck. Sollux turns his gaze to Karkat.
"Do you trust me KK?"
Karkat glares at him.
"What?"
He chokes out. Marquis digs the knife deeper.
"Do you trust me?"
"Do you want me to kill your boyfriend Sollux? Cus I can do that."
Marquis growls tired of their little chat.
"No Sollux! No I don't fucking trust you and yes I doubt you'll fucking save me since you're taking your fucking time you asshole!"
Karkat screams.
"You should trust me."
Karkats eyes widen as Marquis topples over and he falls into some ones arms from behind.
"Karkat, meet Hao, my twin."
Hao lifts Karkat back onto his feet and bows slightly. Karkat stares wide eyed then turns back to Sollux and punches him square in the jaw.
"You fucking- fucking...ASSHOLE!"
Karkat screams now in tears. Sollux rubs his cheek as he pulls Karkat into a hug.
"Get off of me."
Karkat growls pulling away and walking off to find an exit. Sollux rolls his eyes and motions for Hao to follow him.
