I'm Helpless (But So Are You)

by DarlingAna

(Humanstuck,Ghoststuck&Hospitalstuck) You are ARADIA MEGDIO and you are staying at The UCU, The Unknown Conditions University. You can die for a few days then come back to life and talk to the undead. You find new friends that are interested in the story of why you are here. You decide to open up to a ghost you meet while roaming the grave yard. His name was Sollux. (TW: Suicide)

3. Boyfriend

I walked past the rooms looking down at the names. It was a few weeks after I had met him in the grave yards. Every lunch and breakfast we talked to each other. I had been hooked up to some machines a few days but it wasn't really as bad as I thought. Sollux was right about the food getting worse and worse. The salads just get soggier and soggier. I remembered seeing Sollux's name on one of these rooms. Then, I saw it. He had a dorm right next to mine. I sighed, slowly opening the door. It was empty but for the bed with a bee blanket hanging off of it. The room had a window that was wide open with yellow curtains pushed aside. It sure was cold in here. Then, I saw a backpack on the floor. I sat down on the floor and looked through it. Why did he still have a room if he was dead? A cold wind blew in from the window. Was it wind?

"Why are you in my dorm?" Sollux laughed flying over my shoulder.

"Why do you still have a dorm if you're dead?" I whispered, zipping up the bag.

"I didn't die that long ago, actually. They didn't have time to clean this place out yet. So, I like to hang in here when I get bored of sleeping in my grave." He said, pushing up his glasses.

The room did seem empty and haunted. The curtains were ripped and dusty and the bed seemed like nobody had slept in it for years. I crawled up on the bed in the corner of the room next to the window and laughed. Sollux flew over and lay next to me. I hummed and looked over at him.

"How the fuck can you even get out of this place?" I laughed.

"You don't. But, I'm sure it'll be fine. You already have a friend, after all." He smirked looking over at me.

"You want to be friends?" I gasped. He laughed and shook his head.

"I want to be more than just friends, Aradia, you're awesome. You can speak to the undead and dig up a past of someone you barely even know. Aradia, would you like to go out with me?"

I giggled and clapped my hands together nodding. "Yes! Yes, I would really love that!"

The door was still open, so everyone walking past the door thought I was talking to myself. The group of people who on the first day wanted to know why I was in the UCU walked past and raided the room. There were 10 of them. They all were very different from each other. Maybe they thought this was my room. They were looking for anything that has clues to what was wrong with me. But, Sollux pushed them all down and kicked them out and slammed the door. He whipped his hands on his pants and laughed.

"Fucking new kid spys."
