Authors Note: So here's chapter 3. The chapters not to long and its really the calm part before stuff starts to actually happen in the story. Also i have talked the kismesis thing out with a reader and I agree John will not be having one. I just feel like he couldn't. Sorry about that everyone it was an idea i wasn't sure about then and now i definitely don't like it.

A New Life

Chapter 3 - You need to act like a blueblood

3 sweeps later

John sat with his legs swinging freely over the edge of the roof of his hive. He was watching as Gamzee sat in front of his own hive just watching the ocean. It was a rare thing for a blueblood to find a peaceful person to live by so living by Gamzee was a great thing. Luckily for John it was a rare thing for his highblood neighbor to go on blood rages, and John had guessed pretty quickly after getting to know the dude that it was because he was always high.

As a blueblood he had interacted with many other high blooded Trolls. Most went on blood rages regularly if they didn't already have a moirail. Whereas John had only experience one and he was sure that with the fact that he now had a Moirail that he would probably never have another one. Yet John from experience with other bluebloods knew that they were murderous creatures normally. Vriska was like one of his best friends and would never hurt him, but she had pushed one of their other friends off a cliff. She killed others daily without really caring even slightly about what she was doing. While Equius was known to be very aggressive before he got his moirail Nepeta. Yet he knew that he had almost the complete opposite personality if compared to most other bluebloods, the only time he had ever killed willingly was when he had lost total control in the forest. He lived in his hive in complete peace ignoring those around him and the rules that most wanted him to follow. Unless you were his friend you couldn't even get near John's hive because there was an invisible wall surrounding it. Much to his friends' and Moirails anger, they always lectured him about using the wind wall but it was one thing he wouldn't stop. If he didn't have the wall up then other trolls would come to his house and he didn't want that, he had put the wall down once and woke up to a group of lowbloods in his house attacking birdie. Of course birdie had crushed them easily but he had been quite freak out by the whole situation.

John looked at Vriska as she walked around the roof of his hive looking annoyed, "John. You need to start taking your blood color more seriously."

"Vriska you know that I can't hurt others. It's just not in me." John said as he sighed.

Vriska sat down beside him on the edge of the roof, "Come on John you're being such a baby. Just because you don't want to hurt other people sooner or later you are going to have too."

John looked at her, "No. I'm never going to hurt others again."

Vriska sighed, "I don't mean for you to do what you did that day, but you do need to start taking some pride in your blood."

John just shook his head, "I won't put myself above others. I am not above anyone else on this planet."

Vriska pushed him out of annoyance and he slipped off the edge. Of course he didn't fall he just stayed at the exact same height floating beside her. She looked at him before laughing, "How do you always do that? I've never heard of a blueblooded trolling having such abilities. Let alone the amount of control you have over it."

John shrugged, "I guess I'm just different in more ways than one."

Vriska made a sounded that signified annoyance before standing up, "Anyways lets head to Equius' hive. I need to go talk to him and you need to get out of this place for a bit. Staying by yourself so much isn't good for you. You'll talk yourself in to doing something weird."

John sighed before standing up and taking her hand, "Fine." He stepped backwards and then floated down to the ground slowly. Vriska laughed before she turned to head in the direction of Equius' place. John sighed but followed closely behind her. John just smiled thinking about how little of his abilities that he actually used around others. They didn't know the full range of his powers and he planned to keep it that way.

John always found both Vriska's and Equius's hives to be rather creepy looking. Yet he would never tell Vriska that or he would get an ear full from her about what a scaredy cat he is. They were standing in front of Equius's hive when they heard a loud explosion coming from within. They headed inside when Vriska just opened up the door and walked in. John would have waited for the Troll to let him inside but it seemed that like usual Vriska would let herself in to trolls hives. They walked past Equius's strange lusus that was carrying a glass jug of milk. John smiled at the guy since he barely ever saw his own.

Lately his lusus was always asleep upstairs in its room. For the last sweep it had begun to be less active. It had learned quickly after getting John that the troll didn't need it to protect him even as a wiggler. Yet it had still always been there and provided for him. Yet lately he had noticed it not being around as much, it wasn't even awake long enough to go for fly's anymore. It made it so John felt a bit lonelier at home. He was use to always having his lusus with him and having it not be around was strange. The older he got the less the lusus would be seen awake and doing stuff around the house. Even though it made him lonely he wasn't going to make it an issue. He loved the big bird and if it wanted to sleep then he wouldn't bug it. John would be fine taking care of himself so birdie was allowed to sleep. Yet in the back of his mind he was worried about the lusus.

Vriska led him through the hive to the back room where they could hear another series of explosions coming from. They opened the door and walked inside to see Equius working on some type of explosive. John had no clue what it even was although he was sure Vriska had an idea. Another explosion happened but this one was larger than the ones before and suddenly something launched at John. Vriska moved to stop it but before she could do anything John reflected it from himself in to the wall with the wind. She was a little shocked by the sheer force the wind had launched it in to the wall. Equius looked at them confused at how John got rid of the piece of metal, "What was that?"

Vriska looked at Equius confused by his comment, she thought that John had told him about his abilities, "You know that he can control the wind right?"

Equius looked at John, "That's not something I've ever heard of bluebloods being able to do before."

Vriska looked at John too, "I know but our blueblooded buddy can."

John smiled at Equius knowing the blueblood knew but just blocked the idea out of his head. He didn't like the idea that he was friends with a mutated blueblood. Yet if he needed to be protected he knew that he could always trust Equius.

Equius eyed up John suspiciously before looking at Vriska, "Anyways I'm not done with what you wanted if that's what you came here for."

Vriska nodded, "Did you even start yet?"

Equius shook his head, "No, I've been busy working on this bomb and getting it right. Actually I could use your help with something on this so I can get to working on what you want."

John looked at Vriska, "Um. Can I go? Since were already over here I want to go stop and see Eridan."

Vriska nodded knowing that she couldn't stop the troll from going to see his Matesprit even though the guy annoyed her, "I'll be either here or at my hive if you want me to head back with you later. Just send me a message over trollian."

John nodded and then headed out of the bluebloods hive, but not before getting some milk from Equius's lusus because who doesn't want a nice glass of milk.

John went to the shore and made sure that there was no one there to see him use his powers before he released a strong burst of wind. He used the wind to move quickly above the water until he reached Eridans hive. It took him quite a while to reach Eridans hive but when he got there he was happy to see he wasn't alone.

He let himself down and then waved at the 2 trolls standing outside the hive talking, "Hi Eri. Hi Feferi.

Feferi smiled at John, "Hi. John."

Eridan looked at his matesprit, "You didn't say you wwere coming over today?"

John smiled, "I was at Vriska's so I decided to come over since your hive is closer to her house."

Eridan frowned, "I told you that you shouldn't be so close wwith Vvris as my Matesprit John."

John frowned, "You have to understand that she like my best friend, also she knows that it bugs you so she comes over as much as she possibly can. If you didn't let it bug you as much then it would be fine."

Feferi laughed, "This is so glubbing cute. Eridan don't be so jellyfish, clam down you know nofin's going to happen to John. Vriska won't do anything to him."

Eridan nodded, "I knoww Fef I am just wworried. I do not mean to be jelly… jealous I just can't help it."

John and Feferi both nodded as they looked at each other before smiling at Eridan, John moved forward and grabbed his hand, "It's fine. I find it kind of cute."

Eridan blushed violet from fin to fin, John just smiled and Feferi laughed at his adorable reaction.

John had messaged Vriska telling her that Eridan was going to go home with him. She said that was good and that she would message him later that night. He floated beside Eridan as his matesprit moved beside him on his lusus. They talked while they made their way back to Johns hive at a nice speed. He would have been a lot quicker had he been alone but he enjoyed the company and didn't really like being alone when away from his hive. He always seemed to run in to troubling situation when he was away from his hive alone. Usually it ended with him surrounded by lowbloods that wanted to hurt him. He didn't particularly like fighting other trolls even though he could put most down with very little effort.

He hadn't gone back to his hive alone in a long time after he was forced to hurt a large group of low blooded trolls that had attacked him. He had incapacitated the whole group quickly without killing any of them, but when both Vriska and Eridan had found out that he was attacked on the way back from visiting them both they were beyond pissed. This happened not very long after becoming Eridans matesprit. He had never seen them as angry as they were when they found out from Karkat that he had been attacked. John also got a good talking too from both of them about not telling them right away.

John was angry but understood that this was to protect him who hated fighting. So now he never walked back to his hive alone from any of their friends' hives.

Authors Note: So ya that was the chapter I hope everyone liked. Also the Equius thing is as simple as him forcing himself to ignore that he knows of John being a mutant. He just like blocks the knowledge out. Also I just have to say i love fish puns now.
