After an hour of lying with Sollux, you take him downstairs to introduce to Bro. They seem to like eachother. Which is really good.
Bro says that Sollux can stay as long as he wants.
You feel like dancing.
But then Bro tells you it's 10:00, and you should go to sleep because you have school in the morning. You sigh, taking Sollux upstairs with you.
"What do I do while you're at thchool?" he asks, sitting on the bed as you undress.
"Hang out with Bro, I guess."
"But doethn't he work?"
"Oh, yeah. Well then I guess you could always get one or your friends to come over."
"You don't mind?"
"Nope."
"Cool, he replies.
You slip into your pajama bottoms and throw your clothes in the hamper. Sollux lies on the bed, staring at the ceiling.
"You gonna change?" You ask, gesturing to him.
"Mnn can I thleep naked~?" He grins.
You want to die of embarrassment, but you keep your cool and shrug. "If you want."
He strips down to nothing but his glasses and wriggles under the covers. After turning the light off, you follow him into the bed, nestling in next to him. He suddenly pulls you into his arms, and you blush.
"Thith ith okay, right?"
"Yeah." You smile, nuzzling his neck and pressing a few kisses to it.
He holds you close and kisses your forehead. "Night Dave. I love you."
"Love you too."
In the morning your alarm clock goes off and you nearly fall out of bed. Sollux doesn't move- he must be a heavy sleeper. You decide not to wake him up as you get ready for school.
Before you leave to walk to school, you write him a note saying,
"Sollux,
You looked so cute and peaceful while you were sleeping I just couldn't bear to wake you. I hope you have a nice day, and tell whatever friend you have over that I said hi. I'll be home at 3 as usual.
Love Dave.
PS; there's bacon in the fridge."
-
You awake to an empty bed at nine in the morning. You look to your left and notice a small piece of paper sitting next to you- a note from Dave. You read it and smile, but then you're left wondering what the hell a bacon is.
You take some of Dave's clothes- black jeans and a plain gray shirt. You walk downstairs to see that Bro isn't there, so you're going to have to make this "bacon" by yourself. You open what you assume is the fridge, and it's filled with tons of odd-looking Earth food. You're not sure what bacon is, so you take out something random.
You unwrap it- this slippery, yellow stick of something. You take a huge bite out of it.
It tastes… bitter, but you eat all of it anyway. Afterwards you go back to Dave's room to get on the computer.
You guess his password, thollux, right away. It seems like Earth computers aren't that different from Alternian ones, thank goodness. Dave doesn't seem to have Trollian on his computer so you open Pesterchum. You log in to your account to see that most of your friends are online.
- twinArmageddons [TA] began trolling cuttlefishCuller [CC] at 9:20 –
TA: hey 2up ff do you wanna come hang out wiith me at dave'2 place.
CC: Sure! But )(ow do I do t)(at? 38|
TA: hold on.
You grab the transportilizer remote control from the bedside table and press the button. Feferi appears in the center of the room.
She blinks. "Hey Sollux! Am I on Earth now? Woaaah!" She draws the curtains, looking out the window.
"Yeah. Pretty cool huh."
You swivel around in Dave's chair. "What do you wanna do?"
She sits on the bed, crossing her legs. "We should bake Dave a cake!"
"Theriouthly." You stare at her. "You and I have no idea how to do that."
"We can learn~ I'm sure there's a box of cake mix somewhere in the house." She stands up suddenly, grabbing your arm. "Let's goooo~!"
She drags you to the kitchen where you find a box of chocolate cake mix.
Oh, this was going to be fun.
When Dave walks through the door at three o'clock, you and Feferi are flinging cake batter everywhere. Dave just stands in the doorway, watching for a few minutes.
When you both notice that he's there, you stop everything you're doing.
"D-Dave, oh God," you stare at the Strider, mortified.
"Dude no big deal, Bro and I do this all the time. It's chill." He laughs softly, stepping into the kitchen.
"Who's your friend here?" He asks, gesturing to Feferi.
"Thith ith Feferi Peithhes. Thhhe'th nekktht in line for the Alternian throne, tho treat her with rethpect."
"Can do. Nice to meet you Feferi." He bows a little.
Feferi giggles. "Nice to meet you too, Dave! I've heard a lot about you from Sollux!"
He smirks, looking over at you. "Oh yeah?"
You flush, and they both laugh. "Oh thtop!" You frown.
"Sorry, sorry," Dave is still smirking as he walks over to you. "We should probably get you two cleaned up, huh?"
You glance at your moirail, and she giggles again. "I'll go home and clean up. It's not a big deal. It was nice to meet you Dave, and good to see you Sollux!"
You nod, and you transportalize her back to Alternia.
When she's gone, Dave turns to you, wrapping his arms around your neck. "You have no idea how sexy you look right now," he says.
You blush dark yellow and look at the floor. He smiles then, kissing you softly before licking down your neck. You nearly forgot you were covered in chocolate. He pushes you against the countertop, eventually licking all the chocolate off. He kisses you once more before nuzzling you affectionately.
"Wanna take a shower together? You probably wanna wash all that Strider spit off you."
You shrug. "Only if it'th okay with you."
"Yeah. Definitely okay."
Both your clothes are off by the time you get to the bathroom, and Dave breaks away from you to run the water. He hops in the shower and you follow, embracing him from behind. "Mnn. I mithhed you all day."
"I can tell," he's giggling as you kiss his neck.
Dave turns around to face you, and you notice he's still wearing his sunglasses. You chuckle, pulling them off and setting them on the soap dish. He grins, moving his hands down to your hips and squeezing. "Sol~" he murmurs close to your ear.
The image of Eridan pops into your head but you quickly shrug it off. You turn your attention back to Dave's neck, biting down on it- not hard enough to draw blood, but hard enough to leave a mark. He moans quietly, and you almost don't hear it because of the running water. When you pull away, Dave is blushing scarlet.
You chuckle again and grab the apple shampoo from the hanging shower basket. You squirt some into your hand, lathering it into Dave's hair. He's smiling, pressing against you, trying to get as close as possible. You massage his scalp, working the shampoo through his light blond hair. When you're done, he does the same thing, but pours an unreasonably large amount of shampoo onto your head. Some of it drips into your eyes and you growl. "Ah. Fuck. It'th in my eyeth- Dave-"
"Shit, sorry," he's laughing, and if your eye wasn't so irritated you'd laugh too.
You step out of the shower, not caring if you get water everywhere. You rinse your eye out with water, and Dave watches you while washing the shampoo out of his hair. When you step back into the shower and slide the door shut, he's still grinning like an idiot.
"Sorry again."
"It happenth." You shrug, and go back to kissing him.
You get out of the shower after a long makeout session and an equally long argument over why conditioner is stupid. Dave wraps a towel around his waist, and tosses one at you.
You travel back to Dave's room where you steal his clothes again. You'll go back home to get your own things later, but right now you just want to spend time with your matesprit.
You're both in boxers and t-shirts now, sitting on his bed.
"Hey, I mixed a song for you." Dave says randomly, and you raise an eyebrow.
"Really?"
"Wanna hear it?" He knows the answer. He gets up to log into his computer. After a few clicks, he opens his music folder and swivels around in his chair. "You ready for this?"
"I think tho."
He smiles, double-clicking on a particular file and it starts playing. It's chiptune- that you can tell immediately. It starts out slow and soft- almost like a lullaby. It's full of different pings and pongs and combinations of sounds. You lay back on the bed, closing your eyes.
When the pace of the music starts to pick up, so does your pulse. The beat of the music comes in doubles, and they somehow remind you of yourself. The song gradually slows down, until it's faded to complete silence.
You sit up to look at Dave, and you can't imagine how dumbstruck you look.
"Woah."
"Is that a good woah, or what?"
You nod. "That wath like, a fucking religiouth ekthperienthe or thomething. Of courthe it wath a good woah."
"The song- it's basically how I feel about you, if that makes any sense."
"Ekthplain it to me."
"Well, like, you make me get all quiet and bashful like a little girl. And sometimes I feel more confident- like when you get embarrassed and stuff. But all the while, I'm always afraid of... disappointing you." He shrugs. "I don't even know what I'm saying. But, yeah. I love you."
You stare at him.
"That wath really thweet."
"Seriously? Sounded sappy to me."
You shoosh him. "Jutht c'mere." You hold your arms out, and he jumps on you.
He snuggles into your chest, making himself comfortable.
"Can we snuggle for a while?" He asks softly, his voice barely above a whisper. "This conversation is making me feel pretty sentimental."
"Don't you have homework to do?"
"It can wait."
You start to stroke his hair affectionately while rubbing his back. He's almost purring- it's adorable.
For the next couple hours, you and Dave lie there, whispering sweet nothings to each other. During that time, you don't care about anything else. Nothing else matters. It's Dave, only Dave, and that's just how you want it.
