Sollux sat in is friend's suite holding onto a stuffed sheep and laying with his head in her lap. She was stroking at his hair, waiting for him to say something as she hummed Durme, Durme under her breath. At long last he looked up at her and took off his glasses. "AA."

"Sollux." Her voice always managed to make him feel a little better. He didn't know why. But it always did. Even when she'd gone through her "woe is me who walks in the land of the living, yet feels like she belongs in the land of the dead" shit. He was glad that she stopped doing that. He'd missed her smile, even if he'd never say that out loud. She raised her eyebrows with a dimpled grin.

"I feel like complete shit, Aradia..."

"Aw, what happened honeybee?"

He huffed. "There's just this asshole that's staying with us until the end of the week."

"What did he do? I know you can handle assholes pretty well."

He scrunched his nose. "Well you know how sometimes I do that thing where I sorta fuck with people by flirting with them?"

She rolled her eyes. "That's how we met, Sollux. "You tried flirting with me while Rabbi Grossman's back was turned, remember?"

He laughed with a little half smile. "Oh yeah. Sorry, lamb chop."

She rolled her eyes. "It's okay, Sollux. Go on?"

"Well I dunno. It just kinda escalated."

"Sollux Percival Captor, what did you do?"

"I didn't do anything!" He scrunched his nose. "And you know that's not my middle name anymore."

"Oh it's not? When did you change it?"

"Last week."

"Ooh that means that I get to guess it!" She grinned widely again as she laughed. "But you didn't do anything, okay. Then what happened?" He made a long gagging noise. "You didn't!"

"Didn't what?"

"Blow him!"

"What! AA, fuck! No!" He reached up and swatted her in the face.

She laughed again. "Okay, okay! Then what happened?"

He sat up and rested his head against her shoulder. "He kissed me."

"So? You're a big boy. Last I checked you never turned down kissing people."

"Yeah but he kissed me! Not the other way around!"

"And that makes it different because...?"

"Kiss rape, AA!"

She frowned. "Sollux he just kissed you."

"Sexual harassment, then!"

"All right I guess." She sighed. "It had to have been more than that, though. What happened to your face?"

"He cut me with his fucking rings! And he bit my lip too!" He pointed to where it was still bleeding a little. "See?!"

"Yeah, I see a little scrape on your lip, what's wrong?"

"He did this!"

"And it took your forever to get here after I texted you. What did you do to him?"

Sollux frowned. "I didn't do shit!"

"Liar liar."

He frowned. "You know that place in the woods I lay down and pretend to be dead?"

She laughed. "Of course I showed you that spot, remember?"

"Oh yeah. Well," he sighed, "he found me there and I may have initiated some stuff."

"What sort of stuff?" She narrowed her eyes. He mumbled. "What was that?"

He sighed. "I said that I might have macked on him a little!"

She pursed her lips. "You you're not telling me the whole story."

"How do you know?"

She made a face and leaned back. "The voices of the dead tell me that you're hiding something!"

"Fuck, AA, that shit is fucked up."

She rolled her eyes. "Oh you know I'm kidding. The only way I can speak-speak to the dead is through a Ouija board." She leaned in close, her eyes wide. "But I can see and hear them and they say that you're full of shit."

He snorted. "And you can tell them that they're dead and I give a fuck."

"Hmpf, rude!" She stuck out her tongue.

"Yeah, yeah." He sighed.

"Really Sollux what'd you do?"

"Okay fine." He spoke quickly. "I got his cock out after teasing him and when he was all hot and bothered I stopped and took a picture just leaving him with it out and a tour group coming." He frowned. It sounded bad when he said it like that.

"You did what?"

"You heard me."

"Again, Sollux? Do you just like fucking with people's heads?"

"Yeah." He blinked slowly.

She rolled her eyes, exasperated. "Sollux Emmanuel Captor you're terrible."

"Not even close on that new middle name, AA." He smirked.

She shook her head. "You're a little brat sometimes." She flicked his nose.

He shrugged. "I don't get to be the kid brother much anymore. Let me just be a brat for a change."

"It's not a change it's every damn time you're here!"

He smirked. "Yeah that's because you love me."

She closed her eyes with a sigh. "Okay maybe I do, but that doesn't change what you did to him, Sollux." She opened them and looked at him. "What would you even start that?"

"He insulted Tuna."

"And that gives you the right?"

"Then he kissed me! Twice, I might add!"

"And that doesn't mean that you pin him down and get him riled up!"

"He's a fucking hipster tool, though! He deserved it!"

"Yeah, I'm sure he did." Her tone conveyed otherwise.

"Fuck you, AA, I don't need this, I'm going back to my room." He stuck his tongue out at her but stayed in place.

She ruffled his hair. "You know I'd love it if you could actually stay, but some of us have jobs we have to do."

"Hey I've got a job!"

"A job that doesn't mean that I just sit on my ass in front of my computer all day." She nodded sagely. "That sounds really boring."

"It's the greatest job ever. You're just jealous!"

"Hm, nope! I'd rather work in the UC. At least that way I can interact with people a little!"

"Ew, people!" He stuck his tongue out at her again.

"Really, Sollux, I've gotta go now. If you would've been here when you'd said you would be an hour ago then we wouldn't be having this issue."

He huffed. "Fine. I'm out. I'll leave. I'll go." He stood up, cracking his neck and back, then looked at Aradia. "Do I at least get a hug?"

She stood up and wrapped her arms around his midsection. "Yeah, here's a hug you big baby." She laughed a little and then squealed when he picked her up. "Put me down you half blind dingle brain!"

He hummed. "Nope." He hugged her more tightly and snickered. "Heh, boob squish."

She kicked her legs and hit at his back. "Sollux Jessica Captor!"

"Jessica?" He put her down. "Really?"

"Well if you're going to act like a bitch..."

He put his hands in the air. "Do not compare me to your co-workers."

"And speaking of co-workers, I've got to get to work!" She stood on tip-toe and gave him a kiss on his cheek. "Just lock up when you leave! Bye!"

"Yeah see you, AA." After she'd left he grabbed his things and laced up his shoes. He sighed and locked the door as he left, walking down the hall to his own room. He opened the door and was relieved to see that Gamzee wasn't there. He locked the door to the lounge and the hall and crawled up into his lofted bed, not even bothering to take off his shoes.

He pulled his phone out of his pocket and started looking through his pictures. He was feeling undeniably horny and he really needed to do something about it. All of his friends with benefits were in relationships now, and he didn't have else anyone that was down to fuck. Looked like he was stuck beating his own meat.

There was really nothing that he really felt gung-ho about in his folder. All of the ladies were just there and all of the guys were way out of his league. He went back a folder and saw the picture he'd taken of Eridan earlier and opened it up. He had to admit the kid was pretty fucking hot if you could get past his personality for long enough to see it. And he did not notice that future third leg when he snapped the photo, wow. He smirked and unzipped his pants, putting the phone down beside him.

He was already half hard as he started rubbing at himself, thinking about disheveled hair and an aquiline nose. He felt teeth gnashing at his lips and let out a small moan as he thought about a ringed finger pulling roughly at his cock. He went on, thinking about bits and pieces of the teen in his phone. He wondered what his body looked like... What he tasted like... How he fucked. He remembered the rough kisses from earlier and just wanted to bite his neck. He wanted to ruin him, to break him and to be broken in return.

His free hand grabbed at his hair as he hissed through his teeth as he felt heat pooling in his abdomen. He thought about angry lips sucking hard at his tip and those ringed fingers digging into his thighs as he came, hot and sticky over his face.

His breathing was heavy as he looked at the hand he'd come down a little. Sticky and translucent-white, it trailed between his fingers as he moved them. He was a little disappointed that he hadn't come all over Eridan's face. It would have been hot.

But he shook his head. It was no use thinking about doing anything like that with the boy. He was infuriating and horrible, not to mention just an insufferable douche.

All he wanted to do was fuck with him. And then fuck him.
