His Fathers name is Peter(Hint hint: Signless+Psiioniic= Sam+Peter)

Disclaimer: If I owned Homestuck it'd have so much gay in it right now.
Absolute
"Oil and Water"
Sollux sighed loudly, before shutting his laptop and pushing himself away from the desk. He stood and stretched, then exited his room, wandering down stairs to the kitchen. "Hey, Dad, whatth for dinner?" He asked, pearing over his father's shoulder. "Tacos," His father replied, flipping over the sizzling meat. Sollux smiled, then leaned over, snatching up a peice of the meat and popping it into his mouth.
"Hey! No eating before dinner!" Sam, his fathers current boyfriend, said, looking sternly at the teenager. Sollux held up his hands in a 'Im totally in the wrong here' way. "Wathent me. I thwear." Sam shook his head, smile playing on his thin lips. Peter rolled his eyes, and told Sollux to shoo.
Sollux complied, and decided he would pay a suprise visit to his closest friend, Karkat Vantas. Who he probably really needed to talk to right now. He exited the house, yelling over his shoulder that he'd be back in time for dinner.
He grabbed his dad's motorcycle, and sped out of the appartment complex as though there was a dangerous criminal on his heels.
As he sped down the road, his thought wandered. Sollux thought back to the time he met Karkat, and how bad of a circumstance it had been under.
They were both in the fourth grade, and it was recess. As usual, Sollux was sitting alone, leaning up against a brick wall. He was just being his quiet self, trying to avoid bullies and all that good shit. Thats when Vriska, and her two lakies, Equius and Eridan, arrived infront of him.
"Hey, punkass!" Vriska sneered at him, grinning like a chesire cat. Sollux didn't acknowledge her,just stared at her dirt encrusted shoes. Equius grit his teeth. "Vriska..Vriska is ecpecting you to respond..you..s-scum." Equius choked out, looking at Eridan for support. The gaywad with the way-to-long-for-him scarf just crossed his arms and stared angrily at the boy.
Vriska stepped towards the lithe boy, holding up her hand to Equius, a 'dont move' motion. "Hey, Sollux. Im talking to you here!" she snarled, kicking him not to gently. Sollux still said nothing, and made no moves to stop her. When he didn't react, Vriska growled. "Go ahead, boys."
The two boys proceeded to beat up Sollux, Eridan holding him down, and Equius sending blows to his face. Sollux still said nothing, just admitted whimpers and yelps of pain. He thought all hope was gone for him, when he heard a loud voice yell,
"HEY VRISKA! LEAVE HIM ALONE!"
The two boys stopped their hitting, to look at the two people now standing before them. One of them, Gamzee Makara was looking very upset at the fact that they were beating up someone, after all, everyone he knew the name of was totally his bro. The other, Karkat, had a scowl set on his face.
Vriska walked up to her step-brother, looking extremely displeased. "What are you gonna do about it, Karkles? Tell Daddy?" she teased, sticking out her tounge. Karkat shoved her away, ignoring her coment. Gamzee held her back, saying calmly, "Look, sis, Karkat ain't gonna hurt you or your motherf'n buds, kay? Ya just gotta stop beaten up on that cool muthafucka right there." he said, nodding his head in Sollux's direction.
Karkat looked at Equius, and told him to move, which he complied to, but not before perspiring prefusely. Eridan, who was a pussy to begin with, had already scurried away. Karkat looked down at the bloody lump that was Sollux, then dropped down to his knees.
"Hey. Hey, you. Sollux,right? Hey, you dumb nooksucker. Get up." He said, grabbing Sollux's hand and standing, trying to pull him up. Sollux struggled, but finally managed to stand shakily. He looked at Karkat, then dropped his gaze to the ground
"You okay, you dumb fuck?" Karkat asked, dropping the other's hand. Sollux nodded slowly, watching as blood dripped off his face and onto the ground. Karkat scoffed. "The correct answer is 'no'. C'mon" he demanded, grabbing the other boys wrist and pulling him to the bathrooms.
After they got inside, Karkat told Sollux to sit down. He obeyed,quietly. Karkat grabbed a towel wet it, then walked back to Sollux. He began to wipe the blood and dirt off his face. "You were pretty stupid to pick a fight with Vriska and her Workers." Karkat commented, dabbing around Sollux's eyes.
Sollux simply nodded.
Karkat screwed up his nine year-old face. "Start talking." He commanded, falling back onto his bottom and into a criss-crossed sitting position. The other nine year-old still said nothing. Karkat ground his teeth together. "Say something!" He snapped.
"They beat me up for no reathon.." Sollux muttered, shuddering at his lisp, hoping that Karkat wouldn't make fun of it. Seeing the shudder pass through his new 'friend', Karkat simply said, "Yeah Vriska is kinda a..well, a big bitch," he paused, "So, your name is Sollux, right?"
Sollux nodded. "Yeah. Tho...whatth your name?"
"Karkat Vantas."
Sollux grinned. "You have two Kth in your name." Karkat shrugged, "Yeah, so what?" Sollux simply smiled a little wider and said, "Oh nothing, kk." Karkat scowled, thinking rudely, oh boy, another nickname! But he only said, "Whatever you say, Thollucks"
The two talked a little longer, before deciding they should probably get to class. As the walked out the bathroom, Sollux looked over at Karkat. "Hey kk, whatth a nookthucker?"
Karkat shrugged yet again. "How the fuck should I know?"
And thus their friendship was born.
Sollux slowed as he approached the Vantas-Serket abode, taking in the sight of the giant house. He put the motorcycle in park and hopped off, jogging up to the door. He rang the door bell, and leaned up against their door frame. The door swung open to reveal a very pissed off looking Karkat.
"Hey kk."
"Go away."
"Aww,not going to invite me in? Im hurt." He replied snidely, brushing past his friend and into the house anyway. He made his way to his friends room, Karkat on his heels. They finally arrived in the huge grey room, and Sollux flopped back onto Karkat's red-colored bed. He picked up the ratty old Bumblebee Pillow-pet he had gotten Karkat for his fourteenth birthday as a joke.
"Kk, you thitill have thith thing ?" he chuckled, tossing it behind him. Karkat didn't say anything, just flopped down next to his friend. "Of course I still fucking have it, Thollucks." The tall, thin, caucaisan shot the short puerto rican a glare , annoyed at the nickname. But he guessed thats how Karkat felt about the whole 'kk' thing, so they called it even.
For a while, they laid there in a comfortable silence before Sollux said quietly, "Hey, kk? Whatth a nookthucker?" Hopefully Karkat would take this the way he ment it, as an apology for not telling him about John.
Karkat sat up and looked at him, smirking a little.
"How the fuck should I know?"
