A/N: So I actually totally completely forgot about this story and a lot of my Homestuck fics because my Homestuck obsession wasn't as bad as my other obsessions. I apologize.
I kept getting random reviews for this one saying I should really continue and although it is massively OOC and just not that great I'm going to try to continue it.
This chapter is short and I'm sorry. Their typing quirks aren't going to be exactly canon because this is a humanstuck fic and I'm using artistic liberty or whatever that's called.
So hopefully I'll start updating this fic on a regular schedule and not once every 9 months.

The scarf smelled like coffee and some sort of aftershave. Normally Sollux hated any sort of artificial scent but mixed with the coffee scent the aftershave smelled pretty damn good. Of course he was so wrapped up in the scent he hadn't realized Aradia had been talking to him until she shoved him. He toppled off the bench he'd been sitting on and into the snow with a shout.

"Oh you poor thing," Aradia said, her voice artificially sweet. "If you'd been paying attention then maybe you would've been prepared."

Sollux glared at her and pulled himself back to the bench, brushing off the snow that clung to his body. "That was uncalled for."

"Oh? Then what was I talking about." Sollux didn't answer and she smirked. "That's what I thought."

"Okay sorry, I was distracted."

"By a scarf." He shrugged and she played with the end of it between her fingers. "Never really thought purple was your color."

"Well it is a mix of blue and red," Vriska said, pushing Sollux over so she could sit next to him. "It's a good color on you." She flicked the end that Aradia wasn't playing with and Sollux burrowed further into his scarf.

"Where'd you get this anyway? I've never seen it in your room before," Aradia said.

"I smell coffee!" Terezi shouted and suddenly Sollux had arms around his neck. She stuck her nose in the scarf and sniffed loudly. Sollux shoved her off and got to his feet.

"It's from a friend," he said, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"Well it's not from any of us and we're the only friends you have," Vriska said. Sollux scowled at her.

"I have plenty of other friends."

"Karkat doesn't count," Terezi said, taking the spot Sollux had vacated.

"Especially since he's the only guy friend you have," Vriska added.

"Oh stop picking on Sollux. It's not his fault he's such a ladies' man so all the other men are jealous," Aradia said, smiling.

"You are all evil witches," he growled.

Terezi cackled and leapt to her feet, throwing her arms around her neck (she was practically a foot shorter than him so she hung off him like a cape) and she pressed a kiss to his cheek. He didn't have to look in a mirror to know that she'd left a faint red imprint. She always overdid it on the lipstick.

"We love you," she said.

"Why do I even hang out with you?"

"Because without us you'd be nothing but a lonely gay boy," Vriska said.

"I'm bisexual, there's a difference."

"Actually Sollux, based on my observations you lean more towards bi-romantic homosexual." He wasn't at all surprised when he turned to see Rose standing behind him. Kanaya was with her (of course) and they both gave him a small smile. "So you can technically be labeled as gay," she said. "Although I've always preferred queer myself."

He rolled his eyes but didn't say anything. Rose was right, of course. He'd never really felt any sexual attraction to women, not even to Aradia, although he hadn't realized it at the time. After they'd been dating for a year they finally decided to go all the way and it ended in utter failure. Sollux completely blamed himself and they ended up breaking up but remained friends and for that Sollux was glad. He wasn't sure how he would survive without her.

He hadn't realized he was staring at her until she cocked her head to the side and gave him a confused smile. He smiled back but looked away when Terezi grabbed his wrist.

"Come Sollux, we have a class to get to and I need you to be my seeing-eye dog."

Terezi wasn't blind, at least not completely. She could see blobs of color but she was blind enough that she needed help getting around sometimes.

Sollux let her drag him off, waving at his friends over his shoulder as they went. They had English together and it was one of the most boring classes Sollux had ever had to sit through. The only reason he hadn't dropped it was because Terezi made it at least a little bit interesting.

"Where is Lemonsnout today?"

"Inspector Lemonsnout has fallen ill. It's nothing fatal but I'm making him take a day to recuperate, so you must take his place." She grinned up at him, her smile reminding him of a shark. He snorted but took her hand and led her through the crowded hallway to their classroom.

They settled at their spots in the back of the room and Sollux took out his DS. The teacher didn't really give two shits about his class, he just stood in front of the room and talked at them for an hour and a half.

"Who did the scarf come from?" Terezi suddenly asked.

"I told you, a friend."

Terezi snorted and Sollux glanced up from his game long enough to give her a look.

"Look, I know none of your friends work in a coffee shop and the owner of that scarf most certainly does. Or they just like to wash their clothes in coffee."

"Why does it matter?"

"Because I'm curious."

He sighed and paused his game. "Okay so it wasn't from a friend."

"Ha! Then who was it?"

"Just this guy at the coffee shop I stop at. He was that I was cold and let me borrow his scarf."

"Was he cute?"

"TZ," he groaned.

"What? I'm merely curious."

"He wasn't… bad," Sollux admitted.

Terezi cackled again and leaned towards him, grinning widely. "You have to invite him to the party."

"Party?"

"Didn't Aradia tell you?"

As if on cue his phone vibrated in his pocket and he slid it out.

Aradia: s0llux! i f0rg0t t0 tell y0u that vriska's having a party 0n friday and she wants us all there!

He groaned and Terezi patted his arm. "I suppose she's told you now."

"Why?"

She shrugged. "You still have to invite him."

He made a face and she cackled again, turning back to whatever she was drawing on her desk. He glanced down at his phone and sighed.

Sollux: fiine but dont expect me to enjoy iit

His phone vibrated almost instantly.

Aradia: i never d0, but d0 me a fav0r and at least try to have a g00d time, f0r me 0u0

He didn't bother responding, just shoved his phone back in his pocket and returned to his game. His day had just been ruined.
