Oh, look, another short fic because I can't write at all, lately. Bluh. This is...Okay, I try not to hate ships, but I hate this ship. I think I flunked it, and I'm super sorry for that. I just could not figure out how to write this one. I have no idea if I managed this okay.
Also, two days late because was being a jerk and not letting me update.
Ship: Meenah (Diamond) Vriska
Chapter 14: Gill Talk
(Notes: Humanstuck.)
{Catacgories: Bromance, Friendship}
[Blurb: Vriska is outshined by her sister. Thankfully, there's someone out there who understands.]
"And that's the entire history of it!" Aranea finished her explanation brightly. Mindfang smiled, and nodded, proud. She actually smiled. Vriska tried to remember the last time their mom had smiled at her. She growled and stormed away from the table, to her room, slamming the door behind her.
Stupid, smart, nice, popular, bright, shinning Aranea. Shinning bright enough to make Vriska look dull. Vriska tried not to shake too badly as she opened up her chatting box. She knew the perfect person to talk to.

Vriska sniffled, wiping away her tears. She saw Kanaya online, but they'd had a falling out, and never made up. Same with Terezi, who she had blinded, and Aradia, who she had accidently hospitalized. She'd been in a coma for years before coming back stronger and brighter. Seemed like just about everybody had some reason to hate her. She considered unblocking Eridan, but remembered she still owed him some favors, and she had no intention of repaying them. She briefly wondered if her broken relationships were her problem, then decided they weren't.
After a while, she trudged out into the kitchen, and grabbed some food. She was about to head back into her room when Aranea's phone rang. She had apparently left it on the dining room table, and gone to the living room with their mom to talk even more. The phone rang out three times before Vriska snatched up it up.
"I'm sorry, Aranea is too busy running her mouth to come to the phone right now. May I take a message?" She said, sarcasm dripping off her voice like venom drips off the fangs of her so beloved spiders.
There was a choking snorting sounds and a few moments of laughter from the other side before anything was said.
"You must be Vriska." The voice said. It sounded like it had heard one of the funniest jokes on the planet.
"Who are you?" Vriska snapped.
"Meenha Peixes."
Ugh…Feferi's older sister. Vriska didin't have a problem with Fefreri, actually. She was sweet, overall, but knew how to hold her own, and had pretty much told Eridan not to talk to her after he and Sollux, computer nerd and duality obsessed jerk, had a fight. Sollux and Feferi had been dating at the time, but Sollux had dumped her as soon as Aradia had come out of her coma. And Eridan had already started sticking around Nepeta and Equius, of all people. He and Nepeta were an item now, and Feferi went from two guys wrapped around her finger to no guys wrapped around her finger.
Meenah though…Pretty much one of the only people to listen to Aranea, other than their mom. She had had a crush on Rufioh, but then again, who hadn't? She'd run away from home…Genuinely liked her little sis, even if she couldn't stand her. Oh, and everyone knew she was the boss.
"Hello?" Vriska remembered she was on the phone.
"Yes, I'm here, what do you want?" She asked, not caring if she sounded irritated.
"Whale, I was looking for someone to talk to. Boat of Aranea's busy, I guess I'll have settle for you." Vriska glared at the phone. As if anyone would talk to her. She stormed back to her and slammed the door again, then flopped on her bed.
"Talk about what exactly?" She asked. What did normal girls talk about?
"Water-evers getting you down, gillfond." The voice on the other side of the line said. Vriska sighed. As if she would talk about her feelings with a complete stranger.
~Time skip~
"And then Tavros told me I was in the wrong! How could I be in the wrong?!"
"I know, gill, I know. Buoys, right?"
"Right."
~Time skip ~
Aranea listened at the door, eyes wide. She had never, never heard Vriska open up like this, to anyone. She had no idea who the person she was talking to was, but it sounded like they were really amazing friends. She sighed. Why didn't Vriska open up like this to her?
And she couldn't find her phone. Where had she left it? Sighing, she turned. She could ask Vriska if she'd seen it later.
In the morning, she found it on her nightstand. She wondered how it had gotten there, but didn't give it much thought.
And I ended with no ending. :/ So sorry folks. For those of you wondering, Tavros and Vriska made up, thanks to Meenah being there for Vris to vent to. Tav and Vris got married, and Meenah had an on and off relationship with Cro until he basically brought in a marriage contract and they signed it in front of Terezi and called it good. Mee and Vris were best friends, making Aranea feel a little left out, until Vris died at sea, leaving her baby and Tav alone. Tav moved in with Eridan and Kan, and the three of them raised the child, with Meenah as the godmother, and Lil' Dualscar, Cro and Mee's kid, as their best friend. The end.
Also, reviews, reviews, reviews. If you've made it this far, my work is good enough for you and should be reviewed. Even a single review would totally brighten my day! And please, request something. For the love of coffee, request something, because I am out of inspiration.
Upcoming ships are...Kanaya and Kar, Kankri and Latula. Both red. I will probably be writing a DualFang fic, either heartbreaking angst or drama/humor. Feel free to chime in on that. Also, one sided Zahhak/Megido of some sort. Thanks for reading, folks!
