I think this has the most dialogue I have ever written in a chapter. My apologies if I offend anyone in this chapter, in the chapters to come, or offended someone in the previous chapters. I seriously do not try to. Although I cannot promise that I will not write anymore non-triggering stuff in later chapters. Anyway, Hint for I Can Be Your Angel: Its set in the Renaissance era and will have witches, demons and vampires. Please dont forget to review the chapter XD ~Angie
Chapter 18
A week or so has passed since the deal was made. The day after, Sollux and Eridan had made a small prank I play on the witch which involved them sitting in the game room, waiting for her to come in, and when she did, get caught kissing. Feferi and Mituna who were back at the mansion by then, agreed to the plan. Seriously, the look on Mrs. Pexies face when she walked in on them was priceless. Especially since she was the biggest homophobic bitch.
Sollux grinned at the memory. He was surprised that the witch did not have a heart attack from the sight. Especially since her eldest daughter also came out to her about being a lesbian. Holy fuck it was awesome. Although it did result in them getting lectured by some weird doctor dude who she hired. Well and she did send servants up to check on them now to make sure they were not doing anything 'funny' while alone. Either way it was worth the laugh.
Though the fun was not over. A few days after that school was back in session after the three-week long winter break and guess who tried to lift her perfectly manicured finger on his boyfriend? That's right the fucking spider bitch. She was pissed about Eridan sending her a link that resulted in her phone crashing into a spinning jumbled mess of codes and no way to restore any data that was once on it.
Sollux interfered, telling her to shut the fuck up and get away from his boyfriend before he did the exact thing to her computer that he did to her phone. With a huff she left the two and he mostly avoided getting close to Eridan the entire week. This included her money bought minions as well. Though Sollux doubted that any of them would be willing to risk him beating their asses for a couple hundred buck.
The school week had passed without much more drama. It was Friday and Sollux was really hoping to get some alone time with his boyfriend. They had agreed to not do anything tiring on school nights and now that it was the weekend, Sollux could not wait to get his hands on Eridan.
As soon as the bell rang for the end of class, Sollux rushed out, went to pick up his brother and along with Eridan rode home in the private limo. He wasn't sure whose it was but frankly he did not care as long as the driver got them back to the mansion safely. He still had a hard time calling it home since his heart was still back in New York in the small apartment he grew up in.
Arriving at the mansion, Sollux grabbed his things and Eridan's hand and walked inside as innocently as he could. Not wanting to rouse up anyone's suspicions to the actions he had planned for later that day. Making it upstairs he drops his things off at his room while Eridan does the same and together they head up another level of the house and into a mostly unused guest bedroom. The whole floor consisted of guest bedrooms and with the help of luck hopefully no one will discover them.
Grinning while locking the door, Sollux turns around slowly walking over to Eridan who was already lying on the bed. A quick glance at his crotch and Sollux confirmed to himself that his boyfriend was already excited. Truthfully, his pants also felt really tight and no doubt he was also sporting a tent.
Climbing on top of the bed he smirks seductively leaning down to place his lips on Eridan's. The other opens his mouth and without hesitation, the blah haired teen slips his tongue inside. His hands traveling down the others chest to the hem of his shirt. Breaking the kiss to pull it off and toss it into some unknown direction. Eridan tugs on his shirt and breaking the kiss once more he takes it off, pressing his naked chest against the blonde's chest.
Grinding his hips against Eridan in a way that made them both moan in anticipation. Sitting up, Sollux starts undoing his pants, sliding them down his legs. A quick glance at his boyfriend shows that the other was already completely naked, legs spread waiting for him. Tossing his pants to the side, he goes back to hovering over the Blonde. His thin fingers wrapping around his erection, giving it one quick pump. The sound coming from Eridan's mouth music to his ears.
Oh wait there was music playing. stopping what he's doing he listens, instantly recognizing it as one of his ringtones, he continues his actions, not really caring about anyone but Eridan at the moment. Whoever was calling him could call back later. After the ringtone starts up about the third time with the persistence of the caller, Sollux only then realizes who it belongs to in his contact list. Quickly rolling out of bed he digs through his pants pockets, answering the call on the last ring.
"KK? What the fuck? Why call me like a thouthand fucking timeth? can't you get the hint that I'm buthy?" He gets a glare from Eridan, mouthing to him to hang up and get back over to him. Holding up a finger to let him know to wait a second he listens to several sniffles and a small sob coming from the other end of the line.
"Hefuckingcheatedonmewothhisduchebagofafriendandsa odiwasnotjingmorethanafuckingfillinwhilehewaitedfo rhisbestfriendtoseewhathewas
missinglikeheneverfuckinglovedmeoranyshitandsimply usedmethisentiretimeifeelsofuckingusele-"
"What the fuck KK thlow down I can't underthtand a fucking word your thaying and what the fuck are you fucking crying?" Sollux quickly cuts him off from his blabber, his eyes widening slightly. What the actual fuck? Karkat never cried. He hears a sniffle and a deep breath before the albino finally answers.
"The fucking asshole fucking cheated on me. With his insufferable prick of a best friend." Sollux freezes. What the actual fuck? Like seriously what the fuck?
"Wait what? John cheated on you?" He is answered with another sniffle. Pulling at his hair, Sollux takes a deep breath. Trying to think of something to say that would help but coming up with nothing. He was never good with words, only actions. Mouthing an 'I'm sorry, gotta go' to Eridan he starts pulling on his clothes.
"Look KK I'm going to go have the private jet pilot or whoever fly me to New York right now and when I get there you can tell me all about what happened ok? Don't do anything thtupid before I get there ok?"
"Alright. I'll just ask Gamzee to come the fuck over for now until you get here." He sounded defeated, like he had given up on life and just did not know what else to do. Before Sollux could say anything else the line goes dead. Sighing he shuts his phone, glancing over at his confused boyfriend.
"Thorry babe, KK'th boyfriend jutht cheated in him and I need to go make thure he doesn't do anything thtupid and maybe try to comfort him and thit. We will finith thith when I get back, I promithe but for now go jerk off to thoughtth of me while taking a hot thower ok? I love you." he quickly presses his mouth against the blondes and rushes out the room and down the stairs.
It's not until he is in a taxi heading towards Karkat's house, about 6 hours later, that he realizes that he told Eridan that he love him. Was it true? He does not have time to think it over before the driver tells him that he's here. He quickly pays him and rushes up the well-known stairs to his apartment that he shared with his older brother Kankri. Just his luck the red turtleneck wearing guy opens the door, quickly starting off a rant about some crazy bullshit Sollux was not in the mood to deal with.
Slipping into Karkats room he quickly locks the door, noticing the said teen lying on his bed, head covered by a pillow. Sighing Sollux slowly walks over, instantly smelling the strong reek of alcohol coming from a spilt bottle near the bed. Since when the fuck did Karkat drink? Shaking his head he places his hand on the other shoulder.
"KK you awake?"
"Mhm.."
"You want to tell me what the fuck happened? And since fucking when do you drink?" Karkat sits up, his movements sloppy and one look into his tear filled red eyes confirms that drinking wasn't the only thing the asshole did recently. Climbing into Sollux's lap, Karkat buries his face on his hoodie. His voice slightly muffled by the fabric.
"John fucking used me. All along he wanted to get together with his albino friend Dave and he just used me like a fucking toy. I'm so fucking worthless..." Sollux sighs, wrapping his arms around the other in a comforting hug. His hand stroking the others albino white hair.
"KK thop, you're not making any thenthe. You're not fucking worthleth, John'th the idiot here for leading you on and hooking up with that other athhole behind your back." The reply he receives is a small sob, and a sniffle. He holds his best friend while he cries, not sure what else to do. His hand freezing mid-stroke when the albino slips his hand beneath his shirt. He quickly pulls away.
"What the fuck KK?" Instead of giving a straightforward reply explaining his actions, Karkat leans forwards, his lips meeting Sollux;s in a sloppy kiss. The taste of alcohol and some drug evident on his lips. Sollux quickly pulls back. Ok seriously what the fuck?
"Karkat stop. I fucking mean it. I have a boyfriend." Karkat shrugs with a giggle, not really taking the hint even though Sollux spoke his full name instead of the two letter nickname he always gave everyone.
"Come on Sollux I know you want me.." Sollux raises his eyebrows at his slurred remark.
"Thorry to break it to you but once again, I have a fucking boyfriend. I'm not going to hurt him like John hurt you becauthe newth flash, I am not an athhole who threwth people and then forgetth their exithence" This causes Karkat to laugh, planting another slobbery kiss on his lips. Sollux pushes him off, which is fairly easy since the other had practically no coordination with his limbs in his state.
"Instead of attacking his best friend with another kiss, he leans over the side of the bed. His hands grabbing the partially empty bottle, shoving it in Sollux's direction. Sollux takes it from him, setting it calmly on the nightstand closest to him.
"KK thtop, im not going to take advantage of you nor will I cheat on my boyfriend. And by the way, I quit drinking." Karkat shakes his head, anger flashing in his eyes.
"Fucking bullshit covered in horse crap. Nice try but i've seen you 'try' to quit. Works miracles on your sorry ass" Sollux rolls his eyes, forcing Karkat to lie down.
"You're drunk, and high, and who knowth what elthe. Why don't you thleep this bullshit off and we can have a nice talk tomorrow over a thtack of pancaketh while you nurture your hangover?" Karkat pouts, crossing his arms.
"I'm not fucking tired dicklicker" Sollux rolls his eyes at the insult. Creative.
"Ok fine whatever, I was just trying to help my betht friend. I gueth I'm going to leave now and just fly back to Than Diego..." He gets up, walking slowly to the door. Waiting for Karkat to realize that he was serious. A low whine comes from the Albino's directs, as well as a small sob.
"Don't leave me. I'm going to just out the fucking window if you do." Sollux instantly stops, turning to face him. He slowly walks back. Trying to force himself to think.
"Ok I'll thtay, maybe even cuddle a bit only if you promithe to not kith me anymore. Jutht don't jump off or out anything ok?" Karkat nods, pulling Sollux on top of him. HIs face burying in his hoodie. Letting out a low sigh, Sollux wraps his arms around his best friend. The others breathing soon turning rhythmic and slow. A sign that the other had finally fallen asleep.
Untangling from his hold, Sollux slips out the door of his room. Pulling out his cellphone to tell his boyfriend that he was alright, what almost happened, tell him that he wasn't going to do it no matter what, and that he would be back on Sunday. Lucky him, Eridan did not mention the 'I love you' that he said right before leaving.
After talking to him for about thirty minutes, most of it listening to the wizard loving teen complain about random things, they hang up Sollux going back to lay down next to his best friend. The next couple days did not look like anything resembling bright rays of sunshine and happiness. Secretly, Sollux kinda did wish that he had left and gone back to his boyfriend, but then if Karkat was serious about killing himself, well that would be a seriously bad decision. Maybe he could convince him to look into counseling? Shaking his head he clears his thoughts. Soon falling asleep his jet lag and the mere thought of forgetting all this crap for a few hours.
