Author's Note: There will be mentions of LGBTQ, so I thought I should let you know. But anyways, I hope you like this chapter!
"Hey KK. You ready to get your athth kicked for the thirty-fourth time?" Sollux muttered with some sort of food in his mouth, Karkat guessed by the crunching sound on the other end of the mic.
"Ha! Like you think you're going to beat me again, Captor?" Karkat smirked, determined to beat him this time, "Hold up, what game are we playing this time?" he frowned curiously. Nope. There was no way Sollux was going to beat him. He practiced each day for every single game online to the point he hadn't slept right.
Karkat was currently sitting on the floor in front of the TV of his room. His bed was against the wall to an angle that the sun couldn't get to his eyes no matter how hard it would try. Nice try, sun. The curtains blocking out the sun was extremely handy, unless he needed to have a breeze go through his room and the wind would try and blow the curtains away from the window slightly, the sun would never reach his bed.
He glanced briefly at the other bed in his room, unoccupied, and sighed a little. There was a reason he'd never have a roommate, though he wished he could have Sollux as his roommate. Or, really, any of his friends. Of course not a girl, considering it was the rule that a guy and girl couldn't be roommates.
Karkat was gay and, once his older brother found out, he told Dad. Dad didn't approve of gays, bisexuals, lesbians, transgenders, agenders, bigenders, transsexuals, etc. And so, at hearing about his own son being gay, he did what he thought was right. Sure, he'd put Karkat into regular schools, but made sure no one could be his roommate. Yeah, it fucking sucked, but he didn't cut him from the internet.
"KK? You there?...KK?" Sollux said from the other end of the mic, sounding worried with more popcorn in his mouth. Or, rather, what Karkat could tell with the crunching and how muffled his voice sounded. He swore all Sollux lived off of was anything that involved honey and popcorn.
"Yeah, I'm here, sorry, zoned out. What game did you say you're going to kick my ass at?" Karkat laughed as he adjusted his headset while he stretched out. His black sweater was really fuckin' itchy, but he couldn't take it off because it's not like he could just take it off... okay, well, he could, he just didn't want to take it off. It was sort of a security blanket for him, not to mention he was pale under the sweater. Only times he'd take it off was when he'd go to bed or... WHY THE FUCK WAS HE GOING ON ABOUT WHAT HE WAS WEARING?
"We're playing Left 4 Dead... Zombieth Vth. Humanth... You want to be a zombie or human firtht?" Sollux replied, "Ampora, fuck off!" he shouted from the other end. Obviously the new roommate was being a dick, no surprise there though, "Zombie or human?"
Karkat paused in thought for a moment. "I'm gonna be a fuckin' zombie!" he grinned. Well, he probably already looked the part, so he'd be good at it, right?
Sollux chuckled on the other end and Karkat knew that he was shrugging for a fact. "I guethth I'm the only human here then, zombie," he said with a smirk. Had to be a smirk, Karkat knew that smirking vibe through the way he talked.
Karkat and Sollux had been, well, best friends since elementary school and were still best friends to this day, obviously enough if you couldn't fucking tell. "Fucking right you're a human! And I'll devour your brains easily!" he laughed wildly.
"KK... that'th thcary ath fuck. Tell me you're never going to laugh like that again," Sollux said from the other end before Karkat heard a grunt, "Ampora, I thwear to fuck I'm going to lothe my patience with- You're not going to make it patht thith night, ED..." he grumbled.
"Trying to kiss you?" Karkat snickered and heard some form of growl on the other end. He hoped no one would steal his Captor. Wait, did he just think that? No, no. Sollux is just his best friend, no attraction, nothing like that whatsoever. Right? Well fuck, he didn't even know his emotions towards Captor.
"No. He ith NOT trying to kithth me! And if he wath... he would be tho dead, nobody would find hith body in one piece. Or, more thpecifically, not find hith body partth in the thame location!" Sollux snapped, Karkat just letting out a short laugh.
"Awesome! Can we start the game now so I can eat your brains?" he snickered and could practically hear Sollux roll his eyes. Wow, he knew Sollux too well, didn't he?
"We both know I have no brainth, KK... but thure, let'th thtart. I'm ready when you are. Go ahead and try to kill off my team..." Sollux said and Karkat could tell that Sollux was shrugging, easy.
"Everyone knows you don't have anything to really think with, you asshole," Karkat laughed and started the game, "Bring it on Captor!"
"Of courthe, and what did I thay about you laughing like a fucking maniac?" Sollux snorted as Karkat just laughed some more, but a little more wild. "You need to thtop with that, it theriouthly thcareth the thhit outta me."
"The almighty Sollux Captor is afraid of a laugh from the amazing Karkat Vantas?" Karkat snickered, making his character charge at one of the four humans, "You won't win this time!"
Sollux laughed on his end, though not as loud as Karkat was able to right now. "You know your athth will be kicked out of the park. I would thcore two home runth in a row if we were playing batheball."
Karkat huffed and shook his head. "Ampora will distract you and make you lose instantly, you know!" he smirked, glad that Sollux was stuck with the most annoying person ever.
"Thtill going to kick your athth, KK!" Sollux grunted, "You won't win, no matter what happenth to me!"
Karkat smirked, his blue eyes on the screen of the TV. "Like hell you are, Captor! Like. Hell. You. Are."
