Hello beautiful readers!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS THEY MAKE MY HEART SING! And yes, I really like the gradual elements to relationships, I am glad you noticed that. I also have a lot of fun toying with the characters, specifically writing for Karkat and Dave is really fun! I try to update as quickly as possible, because I'm planning on this being a really long story. Also, I want you all to know that the more you follow, favorite, and review, I want to update! So PLEASE REVIEW! So, in this chapter, there is a portion which talks about #triggerwarning sex. So if you are uncomfortable, please just skip that part. Thank you so much, everyone!

Sollux sighed as he drearily gazed up at the bright sun above him. He absolutely despised hikes; he hated the heat which made sweat pool and drip down his face, the "beautiful" scenery which provided no fucking trees in sight, and the fact that he would be forced to actually talk to people. At the moment, he found himself in a group of sixteen-year-olds who were giddily talking and walking up an endless hill. He turned and stared at his own walking buddy, who seemed to be talking non-stop about her friends and the beautiful scenery around them. He frowned at the sight of her. Not to get him wrong, he was glad to be dating Feferi. She was beautiful with her amethyst eyes and long, curly hair. She also had large breasts, which most people would find attractive, but he did not like breasts very much. He did not like her very much, to be completely honest with himself. Sure, she was a great friend of his and she was super sweet, but he just couldn't find himself interested. In the end, the only reason why he decided to be her boyfriend was to make Eridan mad. The stupid prick did deserve it, after all. Walking around like he was better than everyone else because his family was more wealthy than everyone else. With his stupid tall stature and hipster glasses which hid his perfect violet eyes. What Sollux despised the most about him, though, was how he always stared at Feferi the way he did. He would look at her in the most longing and loving way, and Sollux hated that. So he decided to make the cocky Ampora pay by taking his woman. At the moment, however, he was starting to wonder what Eridan saw in her.

"And then, Meenah told him she didn't want him to be her buoyfrond anymoor, and she told him she never wanted to sea him again!" She giggled lightly, "But then, he looked her in the eye and said 'Look, babe, I don't even like girls'!" She started laughing even harder. Sollux blinked twice, not even realizing he wasn't paying attention.

"Yeah, that'th thuper funny, FF." He smiled at her, and turned around, spotting Eridan. He was walking by himself, seemingly texting on his phone. He glanced up at Sollux, and met the awful discolored eyes with the perfect purple. Fuck, Sollux hated him for those stupidly good looks. If he didn't have such a stupid personality, Eridan could get any fucking girl he wanted. Sollux smirked at the thought, and wrapped an arm around Feferi, causing her to giggle and squeal, then resume her story. Sollux smirked back at Eridan, watching him huff. Good. He hated the stupid prick and he fucking deserved this.

CRONUS disconnected.

"Fucking hell, John is so cute." Vriska said, licking her blue painted lips and staring at the short boy a few feet in front of her, "The kind of shit I could do to that boy if he'd let me. I'd fuck him up real nice."

"Aw, come on Vriska!" Terezi rolled her eyes, "Boys are so BORING. Trust me, he'd just be like Dave and Karkat!"

"Nah," Vriska shrugged her shoulders, "They both wanna fuck him up too. Let loose on all their kinky desires. John is the perfect sub, after all. Look at those big fucking eyes."

"I really do not understand your desire, to be quite honest." Kanaya said, looking up at her tall friend. "Mainly because I believe John to be a homosexual."

"He's still in the closet, though," Vriska smirked down at Kanaya, "That still gives me time to take his virginity and innocence before letting him loose in the wild."

"That would be absolutely horrible." Kanaya frowned. "I do not see the appeal in having sex at our age anyway."

"Wait! Kankan!" Terezi turned to her, "Don't tell me you and Rose haven't fucked yet!"

"I prefer the term 'making love', or something other than that distasteful word," Kanaya crinkled her nose, "But no, we have not gotten to that point in our relationship yet."

"So you're still a virgin?!" Vriska laughed, "Fuck, I should have stopped that when we were in a relationship!"

"Yes, and I am glad we did not do something so intimate, for I would rather do it with Rose." Kanaya looked at her again, "Besides, it's not as if it's something on a list you must check off. You should do something so intimate with someone you truly love and want to spend a long while with. Rose and I have not gotten to that point yet. However, I am sure we shall get to that point in time."

"Dave was great in bed," Terezi licked her lips, "I'm actually a little upset we had to break up. I mean, so what I tried something with Gamzee! I still came back to him didn't I?"

"I think you're allowed to fuck around a little bit," Vriska laid her arm around Terezi, "I mean, being Bi and all, I do so all the time."

"I wish you both would not talk about something so intimate in such a horrible way." Kanaya's brow furrowed.

"Oh, come on, Kanaya," Vriska rolled her eyes dramatically, "You need to get laid so fucking badly. Hell, I'll even do it myself if you'd like."

"I would very much NOT like that!" Kanaya gasped, moving away from her, "You understand that I am Rose's partner now and I do believe I am in love with her. I would be willing to wait as long as she would like me to!"

"Well, you're missing out," Terezi sneered, "Vriska can finger like no other." Vriska laughed at the last comment as Kanaya's eyes grew wide.

"You mean, you two…" She murmured out.

"Yeah, but it ain't nothin official yet." Vriska smirked, grabbing Terezi's buttocks, "I mean, we just like to mess around a bit sometimes."

"Yep!" Terezi laughed at the touch. "And you can join us anytime." She added, winking an eye.

"No thank you," Kanaya frowned, "In fact, I do believe I am leaving to go converse with Karkat. I do not want any part of this conversation, thank you very much." And with that, she walked forward to Karkat so she could walk with him.

"Eh, she's missing out." Terezi shrugged, "More for me I guess."

"Hey, speaking of which, can we get down and dirty tonight?" Vriska smiled at her, "Mama needs a lil' fixin'."

"Sure. But I get to be dominant." Terezi laughed.
