A Sollux chapter, yay! This kinda recaps his feelings from my previous fic as well, which you all should have read!

Also, go Eridan! A lot of people hate on him, but I love him to death~!

(ps davekat is not canon -.-)

(pss I don't know how to write Mituna)

(psss Kankri is bae)

Also, I'm pretty sure Karkat hasn't mentioned Kanny in the prequel to this, so if he has and you realize it just let me know so I can fix it ASAP!

Read on~

As I stared at Karkat's contact on my phone, I felt a pang in my heart. I really did miss the adorable little guy, but we were through. Looking back on it, I didn't even realize our differences. Maybe we could have solved them, but it was too late now. Sighing, I stood up and slid my phone into my pocket before walking to the fridge. I still shared a house with my older brother, Mituna, but he was usually away with his friends on camping trips. I got out a can of soda and opened it before walking to the couch. As I sat down, my phone rang and I picked it up.

"Hello?" I spoke into it, taking a sip of my soda.

"Hey Sollux." Dave's quiet voice floated into my ear.

"What'th up?" I leaned back and propped my feet up on the coffee table.

"Nothing really. Just hanging out with Terezi. I heard from her that John's dad is coming tomorrow to final the divorce with me." His voice cracked a little when he said his ex-husband's name, and I sighed, nibbling on my bottom lip.

"Dave, you're sure you want to go through with this?" I asked him slowly. For a few seconds, I could hear his soft breathing on the other end of the line, as he remained silent.

"Yes. No. I don't know!" Dave groaned softly and sighed, and static crackled through the phone.

"Maybe you thould talk to him?" I suggested, and he sighed again on the other line.

"I dunno, Sollux. Look, I gotta go. I'll talk to you later." He hung up soon after that.

I flipped on the TV, staring aimlessly at the screen. My last confrontation with KK hadn't gone too well; he had started to get snarky and I had gotten upset and stormed off. Maybe that wasn't the best way to go, but my anger sparked easily and caused my rage to shoot sky high at times like those.

Heaving a sigh, I got a text from an unknown number. Frowning, I read the text quickly and then replied.

So I hear yyou and Kar aren't doing so wwell.

Who ii2 thii2?

Eridan, one of Kar's friends. I'm the reason yyou evver met him.

Well, what do you want?

Meet me at Central Park in an hour. I think yyou'll wwant to hear me out.

Shrugging, I got to my feet and trudged upstairs, changing into a fresh polo shirt and jeans. I cleaned my dual-colored shades and placed them carefully on my face before sliding my phone into my pocket and exiting the bathroom. As I descended down the stairs, I heard the front door burst open.

"Hey, Tuna." I greeted my brother with a small smile as he shook his wild bangs out of his eyes, grinning, his helmet tucked underneath one arm.

"Sooolllllll!" He hugged me tightly, and I looked behind him to see an amused, black-haired guy standing behind him, complete with a red turtleneck sweater and large, red eyes.

With a chill, I realized he resembled Karkat in a lot of ways, from how he held himself to the way his chin tilted upwards when he started to speak.

"Hello, Sollux. I apologize for barging in on you like this, but Mituna has forgotten his sleeping bag. I am Kankri Vantas, pleased to meet you." The man spoke in an even, calm, tone.

"You're Karkat'th brother." I spoke without thinking, my eyes a bit wide, and the male nodded, pursing his lips a little.

"As much as I wouldn't like to be remembered as that, yes, I am Karkat's older brother." He gave a slight nod of the head as Mituna hurried up the stairs, yelling about his sleeping bag.

"And you were Karkat's boyfriend." His voice softened here for a second, and I tensed up, expecting sympathy. "Well, good things never last long, do they?" He smiled a sad little smile, his eyes seemingly oddly blank and melancholy.

"It was nice meeting you, Sollux." Kankri gave me a wave as he Mituna came bounding down with his sleeping bag slung over one shoulder. I waved them out, giving my older brother a quick hug.

I got into my car, locking the front door behind me, and started up the engine, deciding to stop by a coffee shop on the way to Central Park. I went through the drive-through and got two drinks before heading to the park. Upon parking and climbing out of my car, I saw a figure on a bench, a purple scarf ted around his neck.

"Hey. Eridan?" I questioned as I approached the blonde. He turned, revealing moody dark eyes and a purple streak going down the middle of his teased hair.

"Y-yes, that's me." He accepted the drink I handed him with a thanking nod. I sat down next to him, and we sipped our beverages in silence for a while.

"Why did you call me here?"

"Y-you need to get back together with Kar."

That's it for now, please review for a Karkat chapter!
