Chapter 9
It had several more days since school started for the twin teens and it was finally the weekend again. Sollux would be lying if he would so much as say that he was not glad for the weekend. Sharing two classes with Eridan had gotten harder the last two days especially when Feferi got a cold and had to miss school. They had received assigned seating in his Marine Biology class and guess who the lucky guy was that got partnered up with the hot fish boy? Yup him. He did not really mind it all that much since he could easily check the other out, out of the corner of his blue eye, but he did however still owed the other an apology that he was still not ready to give. Either way it was finally the weekend and he could sleep in. That is if he did not have an internal clock that woke him up at 7:14 am each morning.
Groaning he turns over in his bed wishing that sleep would once again whisk him away from reality. Just a few more minutes that would keep him in the darkness. He had not smoked once the entire week of school and even though a couple of times it got really tempting he always managed to get his mind off the subject and away from the toxic poison. He informed his best friend of his proud success and was glad for the others excitement. Or at least as close at the angry short boy could get with his sarcastic metaphoric words when he spoke about his happiness. Just as he is about to slip back under the dark waters of sleep the door that joins his room with Mituna's opens and the other steps in. Sollux groans into his pillow and covers his head with his blanket. Why the fuck was the other up at this hour? Didn't he usually sleep until midday if he could?
"Thulloxth? Thulloxth? Are you awake? Thulloxth!?" His voice is small and scared. Sollux instantly opens his eyes and he gets up, a worried expression on his face.
"Yeah Tuna, I'm awake" He rubs his eyes and sits crisscrossed on his bed. The world is still blurry so he gets his 3D glasses and slips them on, the world instantly coming into focus.
"What'th wrong?" He looks at his brother again and only then notices that he looks really scared the boys looks. Tears staining his cheeks. Sighing Sollux holds his hand out, pulling the other on to his bed.
"Hey what'th wrong." The other shakes his wad and buries his face in Sollux's red pillow mumbling something incoherent into the fluff. Sollux laughs and ruffles the others hair.
"Come on Tuna, I can't read your mind to figure out what're wrong." The other sits up slowly and stares at the ground.
"It'th hard and thanding up and I don't know why, and I really want to touch it and it feelth good but itth weird and.." Sollux presses his hand against the others mouth to make him shut up, his eyes quickly scanning down the others body and quickly finding the problem sticking out in his lower body. He smiles.
"Hey Mit, it'th normal, yeth it feelth weird but itth not a bad thing. Jutht go take a cold shower and it should go away." He cracks a smile fighting a laugh. The last thing he needed was to start laughing and scare his already scared brother away. In truth he felt really sorry for him. "It'th Tulip right? You were thinking about her?" He uses the nickname that Mituna had made up for the skater girl and grins when the other nods his head looking away ashamed and embarrassed..
"All I did wath think about kiththing her and thith happened." Sollux covers his mouth to keep from laughing. Not because it was funny, ok it kinda was, but mostly because his twin was so innocent. He lays down next to his brother, hand stroking the other's crazy untamable hair.
"Well ath I thaid thith ith perfectly normal it jutht meanth that you really like her and want to be with her." The other nods in agreement, head still buried in his twin's pillow. He slowly looks up to meet his brother's bi-colored eyes, worry replacing fear.
"I want to date her, but what if thhe doeth not want to date me back?" His voice is soft and almost whiny and Sollux has to admit that the entire conversation may have been a bit awkward, but at the same time it was adorable.
"Why wouldn't she want to date you? Your cute, nithe, an awethome thkateboarder, I can't think of one reathon why she would refuthe. Pluth from what I know she'th thingle. And you never know until you athed her out." His brother groans and shakes his head, mumbling something under his breath into the pillow again.
"What wath that?" Sollux is greeted by silence then a slow raise of the head as his brother looks away from him and repeats himself.
"I'm thupid." Sollux's face drains of the small amount of color that it holds and he raises his eyebrows. What the fuck? Who fucking told him that? He does not realize that he was speaking out loud until his brother answers him with a single word that is the name of the hot blonde haired boy who Sollux was secretly crushing on. Getting up from the bed Sollux tells his brother to go take a cold shower and after some refusal the other obliges and finally agrees.
As soon as the water in the shower starts in the bathroom that the two shared Sollux is out the door and about the huge mansion with one mission to find the one who dared insult his brother to his brother's face. He finds the other in the game room playing some sort of multiplayer video game with Feferi who was cuddled up in a blanket a box of tissues on her lap. He does not notice her as his hand grabs the other's collar and slams him against a wall. His voice as vicious hiss, ignoring the yell of the other male and the practically screaming words of the fish loving girl still on the couch.
"How dare you fucking inthult him like that to hith fathe? I thought I made it fucking clear to not thay anything about hith mental thtablility. In your fucking mind or out loud." He watches the other gulp and then look at his cousin, then back at him.
"Look Sol, I am sorry for insultin your brother as you put it but it is the tru-" His voice is caught off with Sollux's fist to his stomach, making the other crumple down hands clutching his stomach.
"If I am the fucking thun to you, thtay however million fucking thouthand mileth the thun ith away from me and my brother. I dont care how fucking hot or attractive you are, leave uth the fuck alone if you cant keep thit like that to your fucking self!" His voice viciously rises in volume as his fist hits the others face again, or at least tries. The other predicts his mood and in the last second moves his hand away and Sollux ends up punching the wall instead. He hisses in pain and steps back, rubbing his knuckles which he no doubt sprained. He watches in anger as the other smiles then puts his hands around his neck. Before he can comprehend what's happening, a very soft pair of lips finds his and his bicolored eyes go wide. He pulls away quickly, his anger gone from him and replaced with confusion.
"What the actual fuck?" He watches the other laugh and a quick glance to the side shows a shocked Feferi who most likely mirrored his facial reaction at the moment.
"I'm theriouth. What the actual fuck?"
"Admit it, its the only wway that one can shut you up. Plus, you did say that I was hot and attractive. Even if it was in a harsh manner."
"Fuck you ED, Fuck you tho fucking hard right now." This causes Eridan to laugh and out of the corner of his eyes he watches the fish princess as he has come to know her gather her things and quickly leave the room to leave them alone once positive that they wouldn't kill each other.
"I don't know Sol, wwe are still in the acquaintance section in a relationship, but if you insist, I think I can find some time in my busy schedule for you." He smirks at Sollux and the other almost compliments him on his smart comeback. Though the other probably read it somewhere or was referencing a romantic movie or some shit like Karkat always did. All offense to the other, Sollux doubted that the other could come up with a great comeback on his own.
"Naw I'm good, wouldn't want to dirty our cute choice athth now would I? But I mean it when I thay that I will bathh your head in if I ever hear from anyone that you inthult my brother in any fucking way. Even if what you are thaying ith the fucking truth am I fucking clear?" He sighs in relief as the other nods and with one final not so hard punch to the others shoulder leaves the game room. A small smile forming on his lips as he thinks of the kiss. He kinda wished that he had kissed the other back but no time machine had been yet invented as far as he knew so he would need to think of a right time to kiss the other back later.
