Wzoooooooooowowowowoosooo. Hey guys.

I found out, or realised, that canon!Sollux actually swears more than karkat. Kk's just a grumpy troll. O_0 . Well, I really want them, the characters here, to stay like canon... Even a bit. That's why I've been analyzing shits about them. Hahaha.

Anyhoo, here it is!

I went down after preparing myself a bit. I saw Karkat playing with my xbox. At least he's not watching some romcoms or romdrams.

The other guy doesn't seem to be around though.

"Kk, where's Tav?" I asked as I parted the curtains and was greeted by a bright ray of sunlight. A big yawn escaped my mouth.

"He went out to buy some school materials whatsoever." He answered, not taking his sight away from the television while his fingers mashed random buttons. I rolled my eyes.

"That's not how you play it."

"See if I care."

I crossed my arms on my chest. "The man's doing homeworks Huh? I should buy him a reward or something." A little smirked crept on my lips as I saw him slightly widen his eyes.

"You're stupid."

"What?"

"I don't care about your shitty rewards, Sollux. I don't care about assignments. I'm smart enough to pass those subjects without it." He turned around and stuck his tongue out.

Oh, alright. You're really testing me, Karkat.

"Ice cream. Candy and strawberry flavored." I leaned on the wall and grabbed my wallet, making sure he sees it. "Still not doing homeworks?"

He groaned, saved the game and turned the console off. He then glared at me with lips curled inwards and fist clenching on his sides. "Help me."

"I thought you were smart enough, Kk?"

"I am. But I hate homeworks. I end up procrastinating like crazy."

I sighed. "Fine. I'll be home by seven pm or something."

"Where are you going? You don't have a shift during Sundays."

"We're having a small meet up."

"'We' who?" He raised a brow.

"Your crush, me, and Feferi." I grinned and noticed him squinch his eyes.

"Terezi's not my crush, dumbdumb."

"Oh look, I didn't even mention a name." A small chuckled escaped my lips.

"Shut up. And why didn't I know Feferi's here?"

I shrugged. "She didn't really inform anyone that she'd be back."

That's the truth. She never told anyone. But even if she did, I doubt Karkat would receive a message from her...

Karkat's three or four years younger than us and if it wasn't for me, he would not have met the two girls. Feferi's not really that close with Karkat. His fault though. He only talks to Terezi when we're together. And he rarely contacts Feferi too.

Recovering from digression, I looked at the clock and seeing that it's almost 3:30 pm, I decided to leave.

"Kk, I'm going." I put my hoodie on and fixed myself. My hair's fine... I guess.

He looked pass his shoulder and nodded. "Don't forget your appointment at seven pm, 3D eyes."

"Depends on my mood." Without waiting for an answer, I opened the door and went out, kicking it lightly to close.

I walked my way to coffee shop. It's actually near to the point where taking a ride is nothing but wasting money.

After a few minutes of walking, I finally reached the shop. As usual, few pople were there, as I can see from the huge glass windows. The pastries here were good but for some reasons, it won't attract a lot of customers.

As I opened it, the door made a creaking, almost creepy sound. The room was full of flowers and the smell greeted my nose gently. It was a bit bright but silence screams everywhere. That was until, of course, Terezi saw me and called my name which alerted almost everyone. Then all of their eyes were looking at me. Looking at my glasses like they were saying 'what's with that guy?' Fucking great. Just the way I wanted to start a good meet up with my friend and with the girl I like.

Speaking of her, she chuckled lightly after Terezi called me. It was beautiful... but I'm not corny enough to say shit like 'an angel's laugh'. Hell no.

I sat down beside her and she started asking for orders.

"I'd like some cheesecake." The short haired woman started.

I placed my chin on my palm and browsed through the menu's pages. They didn't really changed the dishes they're serving so I took what I always do. "I'll have strawberry sundae."

"You still like strawberry huh.?" Feferi looked at me with a gentle smile on her face.

"Yeah. Sorta. It's kinda nice-"

"It reminds him of Karky"

I almost choked on nothing. "Oh my god, GC. Where in hell did you pull out that stupid nickname for Kk?" I raised my hands and called for a waiter.

"Shut up Sol, you know you like it. And you know you like hi-" before she even finish her blabbering, I kicked her in the knee lightly and gave her the 'shut up' glare.

"Pffff. Okay okay."

I noticed Feferi looking at us with confusion.

"Guys, is there something I didn't know?"

I swallowed and started curling my hands into fist then uncurling them again. "No. No. Everything's normal."

She giggled. "I see."

Oh yeah, she seemed like a gentle woman right? Well no. She's kinda creepy sometimes. There are times when she just appears out of nowhere staring at us like she's gonna eat us.

"You know what? I really miss this place."

We both looked at Terezi. I sank myself into the chair and smiled.

"It brings a lot of memories back." I kept my hands inide my pocket as I nod at her.

Indeed, we had a lot of memories here.

"Oh, I remembered that Aradia works here right? Where is she anyway?" Feferi smiled at me while cupping her face.

My eyes stared into her. My mouth opened but no words were coming out. My mind was filled with tension I have long forgotten.

I saw Terezi looking at the other while shaking her head.

Feferi raised a brow then after a few seconds she covered her mouth with both hands. "Glub. I'm sorry, Sollux! I didn't know you two broke-"

"She's dead." I cut her words off.

"Huh?" She narrowed her brows while her eyes were tinted with bleakness.

I don't know why, but I'm smiling. Smiling even though the sadness wants to burst out of me.

Aradia Megido was my first girlfriend. We were sixteen when she died because of a car accident. Witnesses told us she was walking across the road with a green light for pedestrians then a car rushed off to her... running through my beloved twice. It was also confirmed that the driver was on drugs. After receiving the news, all anger managed to consume me. I didn't even bother contacting anyone. I locked myself in my room. I didn't let anyone in, not even my father. Who cares if he's angry as fuck. I was breaking down.

But I've recovered.

"I'm alright." I mumbled with half-lidded eyes. "It's time to let go of it. She's fine wherever she is." I closed my looked down and clasped my fists.

"Whoa. Shit man, change topic." Terezi laughed nervously as she shoved the sundae on my mouth. "Here's your order. God. Justice took care of the accident anyway, right? The reckless driver got imprisoned." She then changed her view to the other woman and signaled her to start a new discussion.

I rolled my eyes. "I said I'm fine."

"Umm...Do you remember... the first time I've met you two?" Feferi followed while running her fingers through her hair.

"Yeah! Of course, we would never forget that." Terezi grinned and looked at me. "Right Sollux?"

I smiled back.

It was ten years ago. I was with Karkat and Terezi when we saw a lone girl sitting in the corner. Her eyes were red and her hair was a little messy. Terezi knew she was crying and decided to confront her without second thoughts. The both of us followed. Why? Because it was rare to see a twelve year old girl without a guardian and moreover, she was crying. And also because Terezi's too fucking straight forward.

It just so happened that Feferi was bullied. We realised she was from the other class that's why Terezi asked her if she can just hang out with us during breaks. She declined with 'you guys might get bullied too' as a reason. But then this woman who uses gallowsCalibrator as her screen name was too persistent. Says she's too awesome to get bullied and her sense of justice will not let a single crime pass blah blah blah. And besides, Karkat's from a lower year and managed to hang with us without having issues. After hours of asking her to be friends with us, Terezi felt like it was useless and we should just let her be, which we did.

The next day though, she just appeared by our classroom and said sorry and that she'll be friends with us.

The end. How fucking lovely right?

"Yeah I thought she was pretty funny too." Feferi giggled.

I realised my mind flew away again and that I was recently brought back to the present and I don't have a single clue what these women were talking about.

I feel like an idiot for staring at them. They were laughing like retards and I don't know why.

From the corner of my eyes, I also noticed the same waiter looking at us. Should I say watching? Well... Whatever.

This will be a long night...

Time passed by quickly. It was already seven thirty pm. We talked about a lot of things. I was pretty thankful Terezi was here. She kept the topics interesting.

"And I had this classmate who was bitching about her wallet." She then made a pretty stupid pose, imitating a girly girl. "'Oh my god, girls. I, like, lost my wallet. It was just there a while ago!' That's what she said." Then being her normal self again. "So, as much as I hate that girl, I made my official speech. 'Justice will prevail... Even for bitches.'" we both laughed.

"Oh shit. It's almost eight." She bit her lips and gave a little panicked feeling.

"You have an appointment or something?" Feferi asked.

"Yeah. I need to watch Alternia. It's the episode of Mindfang's hearing and my inspiration's there." She grinned at us and grabbed her bag. "Bye guys! Take care." She rushed off to the door and gave me a wink before going out.

Seriously? She even used her favorite show as a reason to leave me alone with Feferi. Goddammit. Not to mention Alternia is aired at eight pm during weekdays. Not weekends. Fucking amazing, Terezi.

"What's Alternia?" She asked me with eyes full of confusion. "Who's Mindfang?"

I scratched my neck and stretched my arms at the chair's back rest. "Alternia's some show she enjoys watching. Mindfang's a notorious pirate or what the fuck ever she is. And then there's Neophyte Redglare. A legislator or something. She's the one GC idolizes the most. She even cosplays as her..."

"Oh, so she's still into justice and stuff huh."

I laughed and fixed my slightly skewed glasses with my index finger. "You don't know how much she's still into those kind of things." I looked at table and chuckled. "But she's really serious about it. And talented too. She finished a law degree but she said her talents would be wasted on a world like this. Crimes are cheap and badly planned. It's not worth her time or some fuckery like that."

Feferi giggled. "So she's saying that she'll reserve her talents for a criminal like Mindfang?"

"Most likely."

I found myselfy staring at her quite long before I snapped back and realised what I was doing.

But damn she was really attractive.

"Oops, I need to go too."

I groaned. "Really? Why?"

"It's getting late, Sollux." She smiled.

I looked at my watch and it was almost eight thirty.

"Shall I walk with you?" This is it. This is your chance Sollux! I stood up and helped her off her chair, like a gentleman. Damn right.

"Awww. That's glubbing sweet. But my dad would pick me up. Sorry."

"That's too sad." I chuckled and crossed my arms.

Feferi stared at me. Those wide bright eyes looking directly at me.

Oh god. Oh god. I let myself take over and did what I want to.

I held her hands and pulled her closer

Good. She seemed to be reacting. It's made it less awkward.

I narrowed our distance and entwined our fingers. Our lips moving closer... I'm starting to feel her breath.

Then Karkat came into my mind.

For some shitass reasons, I pulled back and she kinda pushed me back too.

"Uh.. Um... Sollux, I ..." She diverted her sight from my eyes. "I have a boyfriend. He's Eridan... if you remember him."

It struck me. Well, I remember him alright. He's that rich prick. But I guess they look good together anyway. Whoa. What? So you're giving up because of that?

"God. I'm sorry."

Honestly, it didn't seem to hurt that much. I don't know... But I'm okay with it.

Then she spotted a white car outside and as the rear left windshield opened, a man in a black suit greeted us. "Oops. Haha. Dad's there." She gave me a hug and smiled at me. "Bye. Take care."

"Yeah. I guess. Bye. You take care too." I waved my hand and sat down the moment she left.

Well that was awkward. Not to mention I caught the waiter looked at us again. What the fuck's his deal anyway.

I guess I should go too.

And shit. My appointment with Karkat. Shit shit shit. Holy fucking glub.

I'm sure an angry crab is waiting for me. I grunted.

I went out and and hurried home. I'm more worried about getting scolded by him than anything. I kept on cursing to myself as I walked through the streets, being embraced by the cold breeze of January.

Then, I realised the path beside me. This was a shortcut to school we usually take when we were kids. My apartment's pretty near it so this way can lead me there.

Without thinking twice, I took it.

It was a dark alley and the smell was a bit foul too. Some girl could probably get cornered here, but I'm not a girl and I can give a good fight...

I was wrong... I noticed a man in a white polo shirt following me. When I look back, he obviously tries to hide. How fucking subtle. I'm amazed. Getting annoyed, I shouted and asked him what his problem was. That was when three others came out.

I guess I could say I was nice and fucked.

I felt two people grab me by the arm while the other two preparing their fists. One of them was the waiter at the restaurant. I should have beaten him earlier. Goddammit.

"Hey. Fuck that. Let me go." I glared at them and put out a useless struggle.

"No can do." He grinned at me before grabbing me by the hair and throwing a slap on my face.

Before everything turned to bloodshed, I heard nothing but the words "Eridan Ampora sends his regards!"

...

After a few more punches, it felt like I was dying. But I did not die. I would be really happy if Terezi's sense of justice comes and saves me. I laughed, which annoyed them and made huge fists land on my stomach, chest, and face. Blood were slipping out of my lips and I was pretty much covered in it.

Eridan Ampora... I've heard of him. He's...

Feferi's boyfriend...

I see. The waiter was a look out. That was a smart move. But I won't fight back.

I feel so numb. I can't feel the pain anymore. I guess it's when you've had too much, you start getting used to it.

"You think this is enough?" As a last blow, strong knees hit my stomach violently. More blood.

"Yeah. That's enough damage." They cackled.

"Let's go then. This monster will die anyway." There it is again. The word 'monster'. Oh I bet, it's because of my eyes. You fuckers.

They left me alone. Bleeding. I was badly wounded but then, something inside me wants- needs to go. I stood up weakly. My legs wobbling and my arms shaking. I looked for my glasses but ended up seeing it crushed.

Again, my only concern was Karkat. I was more scared of making him upset than thinking of my condition.

I reached the apartment after an hour of walking like a fucking snail. It was not painful at all. I leaned on the wall and took some deep breaths

I rang the buzzer and let my self fall down on the floor.

The door made a light scraping noise but the sound that followed definitely wasn't light..

"He-... Sollux!" I heard his voice breaking. As blurred as my vision is, I still noticed his face. His beautiful eyes were filled with terror. "Oh my god. What am I gonna do with you?!" He was panicking. "Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Fuck. Fuck. No. Hey!"

As I closed my eyes, his voice started fainting. I felt arms around me... I felt like I was being dragged... Then after that, I don't know anymore.

...

I opened my eyes and it seemed like I'm in a familiar room. I checked my body and it surprised me- I was covered with bandages. My wounds were taken care of. I raised my arms slowly and separated the curtains beside my bed. It was a quiet and calm crack of dawn. Definitely a break from yesterday's frenzy.

"You should explain. Bastard." Standing by the door was Karkat. His eyes were red. His nose was sniffling. I was pretty sure he cried. I crooked my lips in disgust of myself. I hate it when he cries. I always get this feeling that it's my fault... and it was.

"I got ambushed." I smiled at him weakly.

His eyebrows furrowed. Cheeks turning red and fist grasping tightly. "Don't you fucking smile at me, Sollux Captor!" He bowed his head and his shoulders were shaking. "You were badly wounded, you shit. You..."

Damn. I hate this. "I got teamed up by a couple of guys. What more do you want?"

"Why?!" He scowled at me with eyes imbued with fury.

"Feferi's boyfriend had a look out... We almost kissed but we both pulled back."

His eyes widened then he looked away. "Don't..."

"What?" I turned to him, cringing slightly from the pain.

Tears were dripping from his brown eyes. He wasn't wiping them away... he was just letting them flow. God. Do you know how I badly want to wipe them myself?

"Don't get... Involved... " He swallowed and pounded his fist on the wall. "Don't get yourself involved... with any other girl again!"

My eyes widened. I was pretty annoyed- no in fact, I was really irritated.

"I don't want you..." More tears crawled on his cheeks. "To get hurt like this again... Quit chasing that woman..."

"You really think you're in a position to say that?" I answered coldly and looked at him menacingly.

"How idiotic can you be?!"

I'm not answering.

"Sollux, this can happen again! So you're saying you can take this pain for a woman?!" he scoffed.

I was still silent.

"Hey, fuckwit. Answer me. God fucking dammit!-"

"Get out Kk. You're just a friend. You don't have the right to choose what I want to do and what I don't want to do."

The tears stopped. They were replaced by an angered gaze. "Are you for real? I just care ab-"

"I said get the fuck out, KARKAT." I glared at him with inflamed eyes.

"FINE. WHO CARES ANYWAY? THE FUCK I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE JUST FLEW AWAY. YOU FUCKING SUCK, SOLLUX!" he stomped his way out and slammed the door harder than he ever did before.

I sighed heavily and placed my face on my palm. "What the hell did I do...?" God. It couldn't be more hurtful.

...

...

"You're the worst, Sollux. You just don't get it... Seeing you like that hurts me too."

Hi. This is by far the longest chapter. And the last line was Karkat's point of view... Just to clear things. Hahaha. :o)

No Gamzee yet doods. Maybe on the next chapter cause it didn't fit. Haha

And thank you very much for the reviews. It is well appreciated. :)
