So here's the second chapter. I'll try editing a few more tomorrow, because I'll not be able to come on my computer for a week.

And to those old readers, who might come read this again, you might guess that the sequel will be shortly delayed. I'm so sorry! But hopefully you'll have the patiens to wait a while, as I will try to re-upload all these as fast as I can. And write something along the way.

Reviews are always welcome and I'd like to know if there's something I could improve on!

My name is Gamzee Makara and holy shit that was a weird dream. I open my eyes and sleepily look around.

I'm sitting on the couch, where I fell asleep with my friend. The TV is turned off and Tavros isn't anywhere to be seen. I frown a little getting up and walking to the kitchen. A glance at the clock tells me Tavros would have already left and a note on the refrigerator door confirms this.

Another boring day to come since I don't have work today. I sigh and make breakfast to take to my room, where I plop down on the chair before my computer. I turn it on and start eating while I wait for it to actually do what I told it to.

After a few minutes I get to log into Pesterchum. Nobody of interest there, really, so I just start surfing the internet, maybe to see if I could find some cool new ideas for raps or something.

I quickly finish my breakfast and leave the plate where it is, continuing with my mindless browsing. After a bit, though, I am interrupted by one of my friends. Or should I in this case say furrend? I don't know, but I decide to see what she might be pestering me about.

I look at the screen for a while before closing the log.

Yes, I had a crush on my roommate and best bro. Had had it for what, two years now? Probably something along the lines. I never told anyone, though. Only Karkat and Nepeta. Well, Nepeta figured it out, actually. Besides, she loves pairing people up. It always amazes me how accurately she can pair people and their relationships.

But for now I push the conversation out of my head and scroll quickly through the rest of the people on. Pretty much everyone is at school or work. I've always wondered why I had Mondays off. Probably my boss just messing with me.

I see Sollux is on. For a fact, I know he works at the library and another fact, he has work today. Those are the best two reasons for pestering him.

I log out of Pesterchum and close my computer. I grab my phone from somewhere on the desk and retrieve my money from the kitchen. After that I quickly pull on my Converse and a dark violet hoodie before heading to the library.

After entering the library I look around for my lisping bro. He's not at the counter, so I might as well wait there for a while. I jump onto the counter, even though I know they don't like it, and cross my feet, waiting for Sollux to show up.

The woman at the counter looks at me briefly before getting up and going to look for Sollux. I visit often on Mondays, they know it. Why don't they just stick Sollux at the counter for Mondays?

"Gamth, pleathe get off the counter", I hear Sollux's voice before seeing him.

"Why? It's motherfucking comfy here", I say smiling and turn around to see my friend.

"It'th rude", he says blankly and I hop off the counter. "Come on, I have work to do."

I follow Sollux into the library as he puts away books and organizes them. I talk about pretty much anything coming to my mind, while Sollux simply listens.

"Gamth, you're talking about Tav again", he points out and I'm happy to have my make-up on to hide my blush.

"Got a problem with it?" I ask smiling lazily.

"Yeth, actually. I have one quethtion for you", he says turning to face me. He's shorter than me, the top of his head barely reaching my eyes. "Do you like him or thomething?"

I freeze. I stare into Sollux's eyes through his glasses without knowing what to say. I open my mouth just to close it again with nothing to say. He just keeps staring at me, which makes me a bit uncomfortable. Slightly uncertainly I nod my head before looking away.

"I knew it. I jutht knew it", he says and I look back to see him grinning. "You know, I think Nepeta ith right in thith one. Have you theen her notebook? It mutht be half full of you and him! I jutht wouldn't have thought it'th true. But who am I to doubt her? But theriouthly, I think you might have competition."

I tuned him out at some point, falling into my own world. The last sentence brings me back to this world so suddenly that I almost trip on my own feet, stumbling a little and feel Sollux catching me before I fall. Or more like supporting me.

"I have what?" I ask surprised.

"I jutht thaid you might want to do thomething, thince thomeone elthe theemth to have hith eyeth on your cruth", he says looking at me a bit worried.

"What? Who?" I ask collecting myself and looking at him unusually sharply.

"Well, have you ever theen Dave with Tav?" he asks and I shake my head. "He'th been flirting with Tav for thome time now."

I know without seeing that my expression is telling everything.

"Strider? Strider has his eyes on my Tav?" I sputter out and Sollux nods.

"Thorry Gamth, I gotta go. Later", he says and walks off, leaving me to stand alone in the middle of the library.
