Wow. I thought I'm busy but I have been procrastinating since I don't know when. Haha. Hope you enjoy this chapter.
Guys, I wanted to lessen the cursings at the previous chapter but I can't :O(
"Fix your jaws, boy." I felt Terezi's hand creeping on my chin, pushing it lightly. "Damn, she's pretty right?"
I nodded. The woman looked familiar though. Ah! Something snapped inside me.
"Hey, GC, isn't that..." I pulled her closely and whispered to her ear.
I can't remember when it started but I am fond of calling her by her screen name which is GC, meaning gallowsCalibrator. Don't get me wrong. Terezi's a cool name.
She blinked her eyes for a couple of times. "Oh my. Fuck yeah!"
She ran towards the other woman and gave her a big hug. It startled her greatly.
"Oh my gooooood!" Terezi broke the hug and cupped the other's face. "It is you! How long has it been? Ten years or so? Look how you've become a real beauty!"
"Excuse me?" She answered. Terezi was pretty embarrassed, but she continued.
"You don't remember me? Us? Sollux and I?" Her brows narrowed as she pointed her index finger to me then to herself.
The other woman's eyes widened. Then she squealed and smiled.
"Terezi? Oh my. I'm sorry, I almost didn't recognize you without your glasses. Not to mention your hair was longer when we parted." She gave her a hug, her chin resting on her shoulder. She spotted me and gave me a big smile. "Sollux!"
Breaking the hug, she ran towards me and pouted. I grinned knowing the reason behind the curling of her lips
"Why the pout.?" I crossed my arms and asked.
"When we were kids, you're so short. You stood until my mouth or chin or somefin*. How come you're so tall now?" Just as I thought. It was Terezi's reaction too when she met me after a long time.
Oh. And she's still into fish puns.
"I'm a man."
"Whatever."
She wasn't lying. When I was in grade school, Kk was taller than me for a few inches. Then some magical shit happened during High school. I don't even know what. But I liked the fact that it pissed Kk to the bones.
Oh yeah, she was Feferi Peixes. She was one of my female friends, probably a love interest too. The four of us were close. Me, Kk, GC and her. But she needed to move due to her father's job and we haven't met her eversince. We only contacted her through pesterchum.
She gave me a sweet hug and smiled gently at me.
There it is again. The need in my blood. I wanted that smile to be mine...
But I'm scared
It has been more than a year since I caught the bitch, my ex, cheating on me. Eversince that incident, I never planned on entering a relationship with anyone again. I spent my days working, playing games and 'raising' the two pricks.
Karkat hated it when I drown myself in alcohol.
I stopped my vices after we fought. He was shouting at me. Scolding me in every way possible. I got too fucking pissed because he almost sounded like a cackling mother so I went out and spent some nights on my brother's house.
I returned after a day or two. I found Karkat with Terezi. He looked like he just finished crying. His eyes were swollen. Red.
Every feeling of regret crawled up-
"So why are you here anyway?" Thank god she asked, my thoughts were blown away.
She sat down on a round table and crossed her legs. I looked away.
Damn. It was beautiful.
"I'm staying here for a week" she rested her chin on her palm. "Oh yeah, I want you guys to meet someo-" Her phone rang. She quickly opened her bag, finding the phone then answering the call.
"Yes, hello?"
"I'm in a restaurant near our hotel"
"Yeah."
"I see. Alright."
She smiled and slid her phone to her bag again. "Sorry guys, need to go."
"Wow. That's fast." I frowned.
"Urgent call. And besides, we can't keep chatting here. You have customers to serve." she giggled. "I'll talk to you guys tomorrow." She walked towards the door and waved at us before exiting.
I sighed.
"Don't worry Sollux, I'm sure she likes you" she patted my soulders.
I glared at her. "What the ever fuck are you talking about?"
She grinned. "You obviously like her unless you're in love with that roommate of yours."
"Don't include Kk here."
"Why?" She looked back at me then she grinned. "You have two roommates, lover boy."
I just shrugged. I didn't really know why I said that.
She laughed. "Do you-"
"God, Terezi, don't mention it. I'm not in love with Kk. He's just my best friend."
"Whatever you say. I didn't even mention anything."
I rolled my eyes.
With that, we both went back to our job and started serving those impatient pricks again.
Time passed by quickly and the dark sky was filled with sparkling dust. Good, my shift was about to end. I can finally go home and have some rest. Today was a mess, but there were some good things that made me happy though. I smiled, not minding if I looked like some creepy guy or not.
Finally, it's time to go.
I removed the apron and bid goodbye to my co-workers.
Before leaving, I moved over to Terezi.
"Hey, you coming home yet? It's kinda lonely to walk alone." I placed the weight of my head on my palm.
"Naaah. I want a new phone because my current one already looks like garbage. But I'm short on money so I need to work over time." She rubbed her temples and made some stretching.
"Girls do for luxury huh?"
"I just want a new, nice looking phone Sollux. Not some expensive, popular branded shit."
"Yeah. Whatever. I'm going. Bye" I turned around and walked to the backdoor.
"Take care man."
(O: ... :O)
"Still watching that Romcom?"
"Shut up."
"Karkat, I think it's time you let me watch something else."
"Tavros, I think it's time you know that there's a fucking television upstairs."
"It's not working" he shrugged while munching the bread on his hand.
"Then deal with it."
Annoyed, but not desperate, Tavros sat on the couch and decided to join Karkat.
"How do you deal with these kind of movies? The lines are cheap and corny"
"Really huh?" He glared. "Tell me how awesome your and Gamzee's raps are."
"Shut up. I don't want this converstation to lead to our sex life again."
"I'm not even talking about sex. Dickhead." He grunted and rolled his eyes.
"Whatever yo."
"Don't start."
"Don't start what?"
"Rapping. Don't even dare"
Tavros smirked and cleaned his throat.
Horror filled Karkat's eyes and he covered his ears, cursing loudly.
"E-ehem. An ea-"
Luckily, before he can start rapping, someone barged in. It was me. Of course.
I was glad I wasn't greeted by shitloads of trashes. I smiled in comfort. But before I could even move, Kk ran towards me and clinged to my shirt. "Thank you for fucking going home at the right time."
I raised a brow and locked my gaze at Karkat's deep brown eyes. "Why? What's the problem? And stop clinging onto me like a baby."
I saw him turn pink. He shook his head and stomped his way through the couch. I placed a 'what did you do?' glare on Tav. He just grinned and went back to his room.
Karkat was sitting on the couch with his legs on his chest. I smiled weakly.
"Here" I raised the paper bag I'm holding.
"What's that?". He looked at it and I noticed his eyes shone in excitement. "Oh my god. Give them to me." He stood up and run towards me like a child running towards his dad. I raised my hand higher. "Fuck Sollux, don't you dare play with me. I want those." He furrowed his eyebrows and glared at me. He was trying to reach it. Stretching his arms as high as he can. He growled.
"You want it?" I teased.
"Fuck you!"
"Kiss me"
He stopped. He was silent. His face painted with red.
I snapped.
"I'm sorry." I brought the paper bag down and grabbed the ice cream tub inside it. "I shouldn't have pulled that cheap joke." I chuckled nervously and handed him the cold dessert.
He kicked me on the knee after getting the ice cream from my hand.
"Ow! What was that for?" I raised my knees and caressed it slightly.
"Shut the fuck up Sollux. You suck!." He jolted back to the couch and let his body fall on it completely.
I turned back and placed my hands on my mouth... god. I feel hot. I feel so fucking flushed. I looked at him again only to see him eating it with delight. His round cheeks. His eyes... Even the way he sat on the couch.
I don't want to sound like a creep, but I like watching Karkat do his thing. Ever since we became this close, he... he just...keeps on getting my attention. I like his foul mouth. I like brushing his soft messy hair. I like it when he's delighted. I like his short height. When we're playing games, I just like staring at him...
I spread my fingers to cover not only my mouth but my whole face. I couldn't let him see me like this... it'll be so embarrassing. Now what. I'm acting like a romcom character. Urgh. At the same time, I can't move my feet to walk away.
Karkat is just too...
"Damn you're adorable."
Fuck. I didn't mean to say it that loud.
Hi again. I tried to make each chapter long but I can't. hahaha.
