Read it to find out what its about. My first fic so be nice people. Obviously Homestuck and the characters in this story belongs to Hussie not me. WARNINGS include slash, yaoi, M/M, foul/strong language, and OOCness. Sorry I need to work on staying in character really badly. I may add on other chapters if enough people want me to. Didnt know where to stick this stuff. Plz R&R. 3
