HAPPY HALLOWEEN! Instead of candy I've decided to give you this! :3 You're welcome.

Okay enough sass. Anyway So I realize that this says chap. 9 yet it's the 11 chapter I've uploaded (weird huh) well just ignore that. It's all set up on my computer different x3

So I'm not done with my finals paper quite yet, but in the Holiday spirit (I realize Christmas is the time for gift giving and such, but let me have my moment) I decided to upload another chapter. (Also because poetry finals are hard /: ...)

Nignig - I sorta updated quickly because I was bored. x3 Haha, noo, Dave wont be Sollux's sex slave. In Sollux's Chapter you'll see what he's getting from Dave. (It's not for a while though) Did Eridan really do something like that already? O.o I didn't know that. I have my reasons for Eridan being all weird ^-^ It'll make sense eventually (Or at least I hope it will)

Ninjarocker - Your goat sacrifices have brought me back! OHMYGOSH! You share Eridan's sign!? (I think you're like the first person I've talked to that does. (That I know of anyways)) You receive no judgement here! I absolutely adore Eridan (even if it doesn't seem like it yet,, there's reason behind my madness), he cracks me up. Lol Inflated ego.. Holy cricket! Your back story for Gamzee, oh my god- I can't even breath xD Yours is a better back story then what's really going on. lmao! And yes lots and lots of gold stars *Shoots stars out of cannons* Eheh, Gemini's just need twice as many people to love them 3 OH Gosh! I know the feels of being alone in a dorm! Dx (It's rather creepy/peacful when it's dark and stormy and no ones around) Karkat definitely has a nice mouth, PBJ! YES! :DD I'm really glad you enjoy the way I write the characters! x3 It makes me so happy, you have no idea. DOWN WITH MATURITY!

Eridan x feferi - Thank you! :3 I appreciate it! :D

Chap. 9 - Karkat: Stop Swooning And Eat Your Damn Lunch!

I gripped the back of Sollux's' hoodie and buried my face in it, 'This can't be happening.. I mean, I always figured that Ampora had a thing for me, but I was so sure that asshat was with Feferi! He's not stupid enough to cheat on her. I must have been wrong-'

"I think KK can make his own choices and he didn't choose you. So why don't you do yourself a favor and leave before you get hurt." Sollux's voice broke my train of thought. It was quiet for what felt like a lifetime before I heard Eridan mumble,

"Wwhatevva." He's footsteps echoed off the walls as he walked to the door, and as it swung shut again there was an audible click. I still hung onto and kept my face buried in the yellow hoodie that was before me. 'Let go of him you pansy! Do you want him to think your some kind of little bitch?!' My conscious yelled at me. 'I am a little bitch!' I yelled back at it, 'I was almost just taken advantage of by Eridan fucking Ampora! How pathetic am I that I almost let that happen!? I fucking deserve it for being a pathetic, little, whiny, cry-baby!'

My inner mind battle was stopped short when Sollux turned around, somehow managing to pry my fingers from the fabric of his jacket, and pulled me into a hug, "Are you alright, Karkat?" I nodded slowly, he held me by my shoulders and looked down at me, "Who was that fucking douche-bag?"

"E-Eridan Ampora. His dad's the P.E. teacher.." I mumbled, "H-he's always had a thing for me, but he's never done something like t-that before.." His face scrunched up for a second, then relaxed,

"Why'd your boyfriend leave you down here alone?"

I felt my head tilt to the side as I blinked up at him 'Boyfriend..?' "Who are you talking about, Captor?"

"That clown kid. He is your boyfriend, isn't he?"

"G-Gamzee? Oh, God no. That moronic imbecile is my best friend." I shook my head as a small snort escaped my throat, "Why the fuck would you think I was with that moron?" Sollux shrugged,

"Well, I was just assuming- I mean, the way that he banned you from hanging out with me, I figured you guys must be a thing." 'Oh SHIT! I forgot about that.. if Gamz finds out I'm alone with Sollux, let alone talking to him, he could flip shit.. He scared me to fucking death when he yelled this morning..' I chewed on my lip while Sollux continued, "Besides that you seemed to agree almost immediately after he told you what to do." He smirked, "He trained you well, huh?"

My mouth fell opened slightly, 'Trained me? TRAINED ME!' I regained my composition and frowned, "What the fuck is that supposed to mean?! 'He trained you well'?" I used air quotes to quote him before folding my arms across my chest, "I'm not some kind of fucking dog, Captor! He didn't train me to do shit! I do what I want, when I want, with who I want. No-fucking-body can tell me otherwise!" I nodded at the end of my sentence to emphasize my point. Sollux's smirk widened,

"Is that so?" I nodded again. "So, you'll do what you want, when you want, with who you want, eh?"

"You better fucking believe it!" I closed my eyes and turned my chin up in an act of defiance, but I'm sure I just looked childish. Sollux's chuckling caused me to open my eyes and look up at him, "What's so fucking funny, Captor!?"

He removed a hand from my shoulder and brushed my bangs from my forehead, "Well, if that is truly the case. Then maybe you would be so kind as to go to the movies with me this Friday?" I felt my skin heat up under his touch, "That is, if you don't care that your friend has forbidden you to hang out with me."

"I-I.." 'ANSWER HIM YOU FUCKASS!' I stuttered, trying desperately to slow down my brain, 'NEW KID IS ASKING YOU OUT! EARTH TO KARKAT MOVE YOUR MOUTH!' "I-I'd.. W-well, u-u-um." 'NOT LIKE THAT! WORDS! MAKE COHERENT WORDS!' I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. When I opened them again Sollux was inches away from my face, I froze.

"KK, is it a yes or a no?" 'YES! IT'S A MOTHERFUCKING YESSSS!'

"It's a yes."

I jumped, hitting my face on Sollux's as I spun around to see who had spoken. Dave was standing a little ways in from the doorway, the infamous Strider smirk graced his mouth. 'How long had he been standing there- wait! Did I just get permission to go out with Sollux?'

"H-hey Dave." I tried to sound casual. It didn't work.

"Hey Karkles. Hey Captor. You know, your brothers thought you guys were making out somewhere, come to find out it was true." Dave shoved his hands into his pockets, "John owes me $20."

"Funny, Strider." Sollux rolled his uneven eyes, "We were in the middle of a conversation-"

"Oh, yeah. I know" Dave cleared his voice and tried to impersonate me, "'Oh, Sollux, your muscles are huge! Kiss me!'" He hugged himself and made kissing noises. Despite my wishes, my face turned red,

"FUCK YOU, STRIDER! That doesn't sound anything like me!" Dave snorted,

"Yeah, course, Vantas." He stepped backwards towards the door, "I'm gonna go back to class, but just so you know, I approve of whatever this is." He motioned at me and Sollux, "And I'll totally cover for you with Gamzee so you can go out with Captor this weekend."

"R-really?" I asked not sure whether or not to believe him. He gave a thumbs-up,

"I got your back, Karkles. Anyway, adios bitches! Don't forget your brothers are looking for you." He kicked the door open and walked out of the room, leaving me alone with Sollux once again. I looked up at him, he was still staring at the spot where Dave had just been.

"A movie sounds fucking awesome." I managed without stumbling over my words. His eyes widened, as if he hadn't been expecting me to agree,

"Really? KK, are you sure? What about Gamzee? I don't want you to get in trouble.."

A small smile grew on my face 'Sollux Captor. Boy genius. Famous all around the world for his hacking skills. He just asked me out and he's worried about me.. I think I'm in Heaven.' "Fuck Gamzee. He doesn't need to know.. I'd like to go to the movies with you, if you were serious.." Sollux nodded instantly,

"Of course I was, KK." The smile on his face almost made me giggle. 'Keep yourself together Karkat. Be a man.'

I had to bite my lip to keep myself from smiling any bigger, "I'll see you later then, Sollux." I turned around on my heel slowly and walked towards the door. 'Stay calm just a few more seconds..' Once I was in the hallway and the door was shut behind me I jumped excitedly, 'FUCK YEAH! SCORE ONE FOR VANTAS!' I did my best not to squeal as I ran back to the gym, 'I've got a date~. I've got a date~. I've got a date~.'

I rounded the corner into the gym and saw my usual group- John, Dave, Gamzee, Tavros, Jade, Rose, and Kanaya- sitting up in the bleachers. I took the steps in twos until I reached them. I sat down up against the wall, "Hey, Fuckers. What'd I miss?"

"Nepeta nailed your brother in the face with a dodge ball because he told her, 'Your ships make no since and will never happen'." John laughed, doing his best imitation of my brother, which I have to say is pretty good. Rose's light purple eyes watched me suspiciously,

"Where exactly have you been, Karkat?"

"Why the fuck does it matter?" I frowned. Rose is extremely smart, sometimes I worry that she knows more then she lets on. 'Could she know something happened?'

"I'm simply curious because your face is flush, your breathing is uneven, and you seem... nervous.." Rose explained. Kanaya nodded from next to her, she straightened out her dress before she grabbed my hand,

"Karkat, you didn't get into any trouble, did you? Did something happen we should know about? Did that new boy hurt you?"

"FUCK NO!" I snapped pulling my hand away, "Sollux wouldn't hurt me!" 'Oops.' The entire group was staring at me now. I saw Gamzee straighten up at Sollux's name. Said boy genius had just walked back into the gym and headed towards a boy with blonde hair that was sitting with Kurloz and Meulin. Gamzee's purple eyes followed him before landing back on me. My face started to burn, 'Shit, it's like he can see right through my soul!' I looked at where Sollux was laughing with the older kids. A small smile formed on my face, '..he wouldn't hurt me.. he stopped Eridan when..' "He tried to kiss me.."

"O-oh,, uh wow..."

"Does that qualify as hurting, Rose?"

"No, Kanaya."

"Dave! I thought you said this kid was cool!"

"What?! I knew there was a reason I didn't like that kid."

"He is cool, Jade! And shut up, John! Captor wouldn't do that!" I looked up, 'They think I'm talking about Sollux?!' Gamzee's eyes were closed, he had his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and was beginning to shake slightly. I reached up to touch his knee,

"Gamzee?.. Gam-" His eyes shot open and he stood up furiously,

"THAT MOTHERFUCKER IS NOT GOING TO FUCKING GET AWAY WITH TRYING TO FUCKING TAKE ADVANTAGE OF MY MOTHERFUCKING BEST FRIEND!" I jumped at him, wrapping my arms around his waist, trying to keep him from running across the gym and killing my movie date. 'HOLY FUCKING SHIT!'

"GAMZEE! Stop! I wasn't talking about Sollux!" I yelled into his shirt, keeping my grip on him as tight as I could as he struggled to get me off of him. "I was talking about Eridan! Eridan tried to force himself on to me! Not Sollux! I swear!" Gamzee stopped trying to pry me off of him and stood there dumbfounded,

"Eri...dan?"

"Yes! Ampora was the one that tried to kiss me, not Sollux." I said looking up at him, he blinked and his eyes glazed over again. "Gamzee?"

"Hey, there, Karbro. If you wanted a motherfucking hug, all ya had to do was say so." He smiled picking me up. He squeezed the life out of me before sitting me back down. 'What is his deal today? He's never like this..'

John spoke up, "So.. Eridan tried to kiss you?"

"Yeah.. and he probably would have too, if Sollux hadn't been in the locker room still." I said watching Gamzee's reaction. He's eye brows came together slightly and his mouth was pressed into a firm line. Jade blinked,

"I'm not sure I follow, Karkat. What did Sollux do?" I sighed,

"Eridan had me pinned to the lockers, because he thought it was just me and him. You know, since my friends all left me." I shot a dirty look at John, Dave, and Gamzee, but not Tavros. He had to go where Gamzee went because Gamzee was the one carrying him so I couldn't be mad at him. "Sollux was still in there though and told Ampora off before he could do anything."

"H-how cute!" Tavros smiled, "He's like, uh, um.. Prince Charming, o-or something with the way, he um, keeps saving everyone." I frowned asking, "What do you mean?"

"Meulin told me that he saved N-nepeta from Vriska.." Tavros said quietly after receiving a look from Gamzee. I smiled, 'He helps people in need.' Could I really be so lucky as to catch the attention of such a great guy? I don't understand why Gamzee doesn't like him, just 'cause he's a hacker doesn't mean he's a bad guy. I looked at Gamzee and frowned crossing my arms, he looked up at me. There was a brief flash where his face changed from his normal laid-back smile and dopey eyes, to the same face that he gave me last year when we were in the closet together. It was the look he gave me when he wanted something that he knew I wouldn't immediately agree with. His face changed back to normal and he smiled as he reached for me. 'Uh-oh. I know that look..'

Gamzee pulled me into his lap. I struggled to get up, but he held me in place. He started to run his fingers through my hair, rubbing small circles on the back of my head. 'Oh God. Oh SHIT. No! Don't do it, Vantas! You're mad at him! Control yourself.' I closed my eyes.. It was too late, I was purring. I could hear the girls laughing, until Dave's voice filled the air,

"What the fuck is he doing?"

"Dave, don't ask stupid questions! He's purring obviously." John explained, "He does it when you rub the back of his head. It's pretty freaking hilarious. It's like he goes completely comatose. He can't even fight back once you start. We found that out last year when we were trying to get him to dress up like the school mascot."

"...F-fuck... you,.. E-Egderp.." I mumbled leaning back into Gamzee's hand and relaxing against him completely. 'God, this shouldn't feel so fucking good! It's not like I'm a fucking cat!' I felt Gamzee's breath on my ear,

"I want you to stay away from that Captor kid, Karkat.. I don't trust him. He could get you into a lot of trouble. Do you understand?"

I nodded slightly. I could practically hear him smiling, "Good. That's my Karkat." He pressed him lips to my ear, and when he pulled back he stopped making small circles on the back of my head, but kept his arms around me. I opened my eyes feeling slightly dazed, like I always am when someone does that to me. I glanced lazily around at my friends, Jade, Kanaya, and Rose were chatting animatedly about some stupid girl thing. John was staring at Dave with a nervous air about him, Dave was staring at Gamzee with an unhappy expression, and Gamzee was having a staring match with Sollux from across the gym. I frowned. 'Why's he being like this..'

I looked at Tavros, who was sitting by my feet with a pained expression on his face. I tilted my head slightly and caught his attention, "Tav, are you alright?" I asked quietly, trying not to draw any attention to him since I know how he is when all eyes are on him.

Tavros blinked, his huge caramel brown eyes looked close to tears, but he nodded anyways, "Y-yeah. I-I'm alright, Karkat." I swear he said, 'I'm used to it' at the end of his sentence. My eyebrows scrunched together, 'What is it he's use to?' Then I saw it, his eyes darted from me to Gamzee for a fraction of a second before he looked back at me, then settled on his shoes. 'Tavros.. likes Gamzee?'

Well I guess that would make since considering all the time they spent together. 'Well that's just fucking perfect then! I already know Gamzee likes Tav. Hence why we aren't together..' I frowned when at the bitterness that I felt when the thought past through. Why would I feel bitter? 'Oh, I don't know. Maybe it's because your best friend has a thing for your other friend, and the only thing you could be with said best friend is 'Friends with Benefits'. And let's face it, that ended way to fucking quickly for our liking.' I shook my head, sighing through my nose, 'No, you're wrong,' I replied to my conscious, 'I'm not bitter. I don't even care anymore. Tavros and Gamzee would make a better couple then me and Gamzee. Considering Tav is pretty dependent on the fuckass anyways.. so now.. all I have to do is get them together. Then Gamz won't be able to try to stop me from hanging out with Sollux.'

'I'm an expert on romance, I'm sure I can get them together.' I smiled inwardly, but made sure I was still frowning on the outside so no one would know I was up to something. The bell rang awhile after that signaling that class was over. We all walked, except Tavros of course, back across the street to the building where our classes were held.

My next two glasses passed calmly enough- Well 3rd hour did anyway. My oldest brother Cato let me sleep through his history class, which was pretty fucking sweet. However my 4th hour art was spent with Terezi trying to paint everything red, much to Nepeta's mom's dismay. Purrtina Leijon was once a famous artist, but gave up her easy life to raise her daughters when her husband died. While Terezi painted the room red, Nepeta and Jade were busy making new shipping charts that had Sollux and his twin, who Nep informed me was named Mituna, in them. I made have been a tad bit proud when my feline friend also told me that her newest ship would be named "SolKat" after Sollux and myself. It was also made up of Kurloz, Horuss, and Latula getting into a punches war that caused them to bump into me, and sent me falling into piece of paper Terezi had just finished soaking in red paint. Coating the front of my black hoodie in the color.

I pulled the red paper off of me and groaned, glaring at everyone at my table. "Are you fucking kidding me?!"

Nepeta and Jade both gasped, Horrus covered his mouth in an extremely girly gesture, Latula and Terezi both laughed manically, and Kurloz gave me a lazy smile,

"You look good in red, Crabbro."

Makara boys shouldn't be able to be attractive. I mean Kurloz is no Gamzee, but still, he's pretty good looking. I frowned and flipped him off hoping the color on my cheeks wasn't noticeable.

"Oh, Karkat! What happened?" Mrs. Leijon rushed over to my table. She didn't even give me a chance to answer before she was trying to pull my hoodie off, "Hurry! You need to take let me wash that before the paint sets into place."

"H-Hey! Wait a fucking minute!" I tried in vain to stop her. She had it off of me before I even had my sentence finished. Which left me standing in the middle of class topless, 'What a great fucking day to not wear a shirt under my God damn jacket! Fucking ingenious, Vantas!' "Hey, Mrs. Leijon. I kinda need that. I can't really walk around without a fucking shirt!"

She ignored my language, but nodded slowly, "Very true. Hmm.. Oh! Nepkitten, would you mind letting Karkat borrow your jacket until I can get his washed?"

"Of course not, mom!" Nepeta giggled standing up and removing her jacket. She held it out to me and I deadpanned staring at it. It was an olive green zip-up jacket that had a blue cat tail printed on it that wrapped around from the back to the left side/front, and the hood had a cat face with matching blue eats that stood up. I frowned, hesitating, 'Don't do it, Vantas, you'll never be able to live it down.'

"Come on, Karkitty! It won't bite you!" Nepeta smiled shoving it into my arms, before sitting back down. I glowered at the girly green jacket, then sighed deeply and slipped it on over my arms and zipped it up 3/4's of the way.

Giggles echoed around the room, most of them were coming from Terezi. "Oh, Karkles, you smell so cute!"

"Bite me, Pyrope!" I yelled, 'At least it can't get any worse.' I sighed as the bell rang signaling it was time for lunch. I grabbed my books and headed to my locker, shoving them in and putting the books I'd need after lunch in my bag.

"Hey Nepeta! What are you doing in Karkat's locker?"

'Fuck.' I turned around and glared at John's dorky smiling face. He was standing with Dave, who had been tapping his foot impatiently. "I'm not Nepeta, you fuckass! Does Nepeta have black hair? No, she's got some form of that blonde-brown crap." John flinched slightly at my glare before he and Dave burst into a fit of laughter, pulling the attention of everyone in the hall to us. I pulled up the hood of the jacket to hide. "Yeah. Ha. Fucking. Ha. I'm in a girl's jacket. Why do we all just fucking laugh it up?" I slammed my locker shut. Dave snorted,

"Karkat- Dude. You're so freaking cute, bro! I just- I can't-" He held his sides. "You sure you're actually a boy?"

"Fuck. Yes, Strider. I'm fucking sure I'm a boy! Are you sure you're a boy, Mister I-Scream-Like-A-Little-Girl?" I snapped, and much to my surprise, Dave stopped laughing and seemed to tense. His face darkened,

"O-of course I'm a boy! Why would you think otherwise!?"

I jumped back into the lockers, his voice sounded deeper then I remember. 'He..yelled at me..' John had stopped laughing and glanced between us,

"Dave..? Karkat was only playing, we all know you're a guy."

Dave's eyebrows shot up above his glasses and disappeared under his bangs. "I-I-" His face became bright red. John and I stared quietly at our shaded friend. Dave rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly and chuckled, clearing his throat, "A-ah. Haha. Yeah, I know, bros. I was just messing with you.. Let's go to lunch."

He turned on his heal and walked down the hall. John and I shared a confused look before shrugging and running after Dave. John wrapped his arm loosely around the blonde's shoulders. I walked on his other side, glancing around John to see the pink still on Dave's cheeks. 'What is wrong with everyone today?'

I frowned, sighing through my nose as the three of us sat at an empty table. John took his arm from our friend's shoulders and reached into the same stupid plaid bag that he's used for years. He pulled out a sack lunch and sat it on the table, then reached back into the bag and smiled at Dave, who was on his right.

"Hey Dave. I have something for you." Said shaded cool kid tilted his head, "I meant to give it to you earlier, but with all the excitement of this morning, I kind of forgot. So.. here." John pulled out a bottle of Apple Juice, tossing it to the now ecstatic blonde.

"Fuck YES!" Dave squealed, 'Wait. squealed? I'm pretty sure only girls squeal..' I watched him uncap the juice and take a huge gulp. He licked his lips and smiled, "Better late than never, Johnny Boy. Thanks."

"You're welcome." John said giving him a goofy, yet perfectly straight smile. 'And there they go again.' I crossed my arms over my chest and watched them stare at each other with lusting eyes and love-sick smiles. 'Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating.' I waited a couple of minutes with no change before I couldn't take it anymore,

"WILL YOU TWO STOP EYE FUCKING EACH OTHER? IT'S DISTURBING!" I hadn't meant to yell, but suddenly everyone in the cafeteria was watching our table. John's face turned pink under all the stares, and Dave face-palmed. "Oops.." I whispered. Dave smirked,

"Sorry there, Karkat. If I'd known you were going to get so jealous, I would have invited you."

"FUCK YOU, STRIDER!"

"You would."

"No thanks! I don't want any of John's sloppy seconds!"

"I'm not sloppy. My rooms really clean!"

"Thats.. not what he means, John." Dave went to explain, but I held up my hand,

"No. Dave. Just no. Don't even bother. This is just something little Virginal Egbert wouldn't understand." John pouted and Dave snorted,

"You do have a point, Vantas." He took another sip of his Apple Juice, before smiling slightly and waved someone over. I figured it was just the rest of the gang so I didn't bother turning to see. That is, until someone sat down next to me,

"Hey there, Tiny. I thought you were looking for your sister?"

My eyes widened and I froze. 'It's Sollux- He thinks I'm Nep. Jesus Christ. Why does this always happen to me?' Dave snorted loudly before laughing into his hands, while John joined in on his best bros laughter. 'Fucking fuckasses! What kind of friends are you?!' I mentally yelled at them. Turning slightly I focused my eyes on Sollux who was looking at the two chuckling idiot that sat across the table from us. I took a deep breath, readying myself mentally for whatever would come next. Gripping the cat hood, I pulled it off my head and revealed my messy black hair,

"Captor, I'm not Nepeta."

I assumed that Sollux would, oh I don't know, maybe be embarrassed by his mistake. Of course, I should have known that wouldn't be the case, I mean, you know what they say about assuming.

Sollux erupted into laughs along with my other two friends, his outburst causing me to jump. "Oh Jesus, KK. Why are you wearing that?" I frowned, arms promptly crossing over my chest,

"Fuck you guys! It wasn't like I had a God damn choice."

"Awh, motherfucking look at you, best friend. You look so cute." Gamzee sauntered over sitting down his and Tavros's food trays and taking a place by Dave. Tav rolled up next to the clown sitting at the end of the table, quickly joined by Jade who sat down on my other side. I willed my face not to turn red.

"Fuck you too, Makara!" I flipped him off, earning myself a one of his creepy chuckles and a knowing smile. Jade whacked me on the back of the head.

"Watch your fucking mouth, Karkat!" She frowned at me before turning back to the kids at the table. "We were in art and Karkat here sorta landed in red paint Terezi put the paper on, and it covered the front of his hoodie. Mrs. Leijon is washing it for him and asked Neppy to let him borrow hers, so don't you laugh at him."

John laughed again, but this time into his hand after his cousin glared at him, "Jade, don't you mean paper she put the red paint on?"

"Nope! Considering how much red paint she used, there really wasn't much paper.." Jade giggled into her hand. I groaned and rolled my eyes, earning myself and elbow to my gut from the spectacled girl.

"Jade don't you have some place to be?" I held my tongue as well as I could, knowing she'd hit me if I cussed again, "Like I don't know, maybe with Nep, Rose, and Kanaya?" She giggled again and pushed my shoulder making me bump into Sollux, who wrapped his arm around my shoulder. I frowned up at him, it didn't last long though. The toothy smile on his face made my frown falter slightly, I settled with a grumpy sigh.

There was a small 'clang', dragging everyone's eyes to Gamzee. His fork had dropped from his hand onto the ground. There wasn't time to question it though because a yellow blur slid onto the bench next to Sollux pushing me into Jade, almost knocking her out of her seat.

"Sup bro? Hey Davey." The blonde winked at blonde sitting on the other side of the table earning a head nod in return.

"Shit, 'Tuna!" Sollux exclaimed straightening himself without taking his arm from my shoulders, "What do you want?"

"Can't I want to talk to my baby brother?" The blonde asked with a slight pout.

"For one, you're only 5 seconds older than me and that's because I had to push your self-loathing ass out. And two, no, Mituna, you can't." Sollux glared at his brother.

Mituna's golden blonde hair was as fluffy and as poofy as hair could get. It covered the top half of his face. He brushed it up out of his face to give his brother an amused look, revealing the same red and blue eyes that Sollux had, but on opposite sides. He moved his hand again letting his hair cover his face again. He chuckled,

"Come on, Bumble Bee. Don't bee like that."

I felt Sollux's arm tense around my shoulders and his face turned light pink. Dave snorted into his hands and placed his head on the down on the table. The slight shake of his shoulders the proof he was still alive. I couldn't stop my own chuckles. I reached up and turned his face towards me slowly with a single hand. "Your nickname is Bumble Bee?"

Sollux glanced to the side with a look of embarrassment which quickly changed to a devilish smirk as he looked back at me. He pulled my hand off his face with his own, leaning forward to the point where are noses were almost touching. I tensed, staring at his uneven eyes while he continued to smirk,

"Like you have any room to talk, Crab-Cakes."

Karkat! You're so cute in Nepeta's clothing, bwahahahah, right. Ahem, anyways.

The rubbing the back of the head thing was actually inspired by a boy who I went to high school with. He was one of my (somewhat) friends (We didn't really talk all the time but we were still chill) and if you'd rub the back of his head he's sorta make this purring noise and got comatose until he ended up falling asleep. I didn't believe it when I was first told but then one of my friends showed me when we were all hanging out and holy shit it was the freaking cutest thing ever! xD

So the whole reason Purrtina didn't flip shit with Karkat's language is because she's use to it. She was good friends with the Vantas boys parents before they died and took in the three boys for a while -they also lived with the Maryam's for a little bit- until Cato (Yeah, Cato is what the Sufferer has been dubbed by me) was out of school and able to take care of his little bros, kinda like how Dirk took care of Dave and Cal.

Bumble Bee and Crab-Cakes. Cute, ya?

Gamzee's got the next chapter- it's a little intense.., then it goes to Jake, then Kanaya, and back to Dave (For some serious Pepsicola action/ I'm actually just kidding.. sorta... Just prepare yourselves for a whole lot of shit) (It's not really a lot but still)

On a serious side note my roommate, and good friend, just tried to make a password and the website she's on kept saying it was to weak. She was complaining and I yelled "STRONG PASSWORD." and laughed for like 20 minutes because I thought of Equius. She thinks I need medication. x3

Hey! Who's going trick-or-treating?! I believe you are never too old so as a 19 year old female from the Heartland in the USA I'm going to go out in the world and accept candy from strangers on the one night it's actually allow. As~ *drum roll* ROBIN (the) GIRL WONDER! Because Robin is my favorite superhero ever. (He is not a sidekick.) x3

Until the next Homestuck time~
