DISCALIMER: Homestuck is...unfortunately not mine. :(

Sollux jumps startled, awakening from his too realistic nightmare. He clutches his chest desperately looking around. The only other person in the lab with him was the small Leo, Nepeta, who was now looking at him with worry. "Sollux, are you okay?" Sollux stares at her with wide watery eyes that were hidden under the dual colored goggles. "Y-yeah...I uhm..." He freezees at the frightening thought that came to him once she had turned to look at him. Nepeta stands from her crouched position on the wheel chair and hurries to the shaking, and panting Gemini.

"Nepeta, do you thtill hang out with Eq?" Sollux asks looking up at Nepeta. She nods casually. "Can I athk you a favor?" Sollux was shaking now, Nepeta wraps her tiny fingers around his shoulder and nods. "Pleath don't hang out with him anymore." Sollux asks through a whisper. Nepeta stands up straight and puts her hands on her hips.

"*Ac looks over her fuuuurriend with worry* why do you say that? *AC asks carefully*"

Sollux inhales then releases it. He looks up at Nepeta again and grabs her hand carefully. "Eq...heth not what you think he ith. He'th not...thafe." Sollux says trying to sound as believable as possible. Nepeta tilts her head. Sollux clears his throat, "You thee, remember when I went mithing?" Nepeta nods frowning.

"I uh...wathn't mithing...he...kidnapped me...and-"

"What're you talking about!? Equius would never!" Nepeta says giggling. Sollux frowns, "He did, Thith ithn't a joke. Pleathe...lithen okay?" Nepeta nods frowning. Sollux clears his throat and continues. "When he kidnapped me...he did thome thingth to me..."

"Like..like what?" Nepeta asks worriedly. Sollux looks down. "Look, I know you probably won't believe me but I have proof when I thay...that he raped me." Sollux looks up. Nepeta stares at him absolutely baffled. Then she immediately stands, her fists clenched at her sides. "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. E-EQUIUS WOULD NEVER."

"Nepeta, no look," Sollux says standing and lifting his shirt, showing his stomach, hips and chest to her. She blushes then stares at the giant hand bruises that were now beginning to fade from Solluxs hips. She reaches out and touches one of Solluxs hips, knowing that hand print immediately. "S-Sollux...this...this doesn't prove anything." Nepeta says with fear written all over her face. Sollux groans. "Nepeta, pleathe don't make me thow you the nathty crap."

Nepeta frowns. "I-I'm going home. *Ac retreats sadly to her hive*" Nepeta says sadly with tears in her eyes. Sollux drops his shirt and stares after her.


When Equius hears the door to his lab shut he swings around hurriedly. "What are you doing here?" Equius growls, Eridan shrugs. "Just wwanted to pay you a vvisit. You knoww, since you're important to me. Unlike those bastards." Equius rolls his eyes. "I finished the legs you asked for." Equius says turning to Eridan. Eridan stares confused. "Legs?"

"Yes, Gamzee told me you asked him to order some from me for the bronze blood, you'd pay for it. He also said that he'd come pick them up then you'd pay for them, but I decided since you're here now, I might as well give them-"

"No! If Tavv gets legs...I...no. I nevver told Gam to order anything. Destroy the legs. I don't wwant to evver see them again understand?! Do it noww!" Eridan orders freaking out. Equius immediately begins to crush the metal legs while heavily sweating. "So...h-he lied to me.."

"Yes he fuckin lied. Sea? Because you're so different from evvery one else he wwants to take advantage of you. But I'm here Eq, I'll protect you." Eridan says placing his hands on both of Equius' sweaty cheeks smiling softly.

"I'm the strong one though. How can you protect me?" Equius says stiffly. Eridan smiles. "Eq, I havve your back, you havve mine. Trust me. I'm here to help you." Eridan whispers. Before the sea dweller could register the action he was pushed back onto the metal table and his mouth was invaded. He groans from the pain but accepts it. If this is wwhat it takes to make Eq my ally, I'm up for it.
