Nepeta(spades)Sollux: Remember when Nepeta started cat napping in awkward places around the meteor, strictly to antagonize Sollux? Like on the computer cords (which invariably unplugged them) and across his keyboard?
Nepeta loved curling up on the large expanse that was the computer panel. She liked it up there for several reasons, the least of which not being how deliciously, deliriously warm and cozy the panels got. So, as a matter of course, many nights on the meteor found her wrapped up in her jacket, snoozing happily on the warm, humming machines.
So of course, because he hated fun things, most of those nights Nepeta also found herself rudely awakened by Sollux's telekinetic abilities literally tipping her off of her comfortable perch. And inevitably, due to this very uncouth behavior, Nepeta would find herself in nightly screaming matches with moody Sollux Captor.
"Gods damn it, Nepeta!" Sollux would lisp, "You can't fucking sleep on the panels!" And accompanied by literally sparking eyes and glowing hands, coupled with his fanged snarl, Sollux painted a very angry picture.
"I can do whatefur I want, Catpurr!" Nepeta would hiss back, hands fisted at her hips and her head thrown back in defiance. Then, as though an afterthought, she would bare her own teeth in response.
This of course would only escalate things, to the point where Kanaya literally had called a meeting with the other trolls on the meteor, on the subject of perhaps auspisticing their clearly caliginous overtures. Eridan had been all for that, though he had opted out of being the auspice himself (clearly he was too invested in the caliginous quadrants of Mr. Captor already, already having started trying insinuate himself into the yellow-blood's pitch affections).
Karkat had literally said, "I don't give a fuck, if they want to hate-snog all over the damn meteor then let them. As long as nobody dies, I literally could not give a single fuck."
Equius had been well…he'd needed several towels to get through the meeting, though Feferi had seemed excited by her moirail's black prospects. Neither of the two were putting up any serious complaints whatsoever, Mr. Zahhak's stammered, weak protests aside. So, with three abstaining votes joining Karkat in the forms of Terezi, Vriska, and Gamzee (neither of the former, after hearing of the topic of the meeting, could be bothered to come, while the latter had not been found in time to inform of the meeting), that meant that Feferi was the only really excited party on behalf of this particular match.
Eridan, on the other side of the coin, was the only vehemently opposed. So Kanaya, who had merely been concerned, and Equius (who was notoriously overprotective of his moirail) decided to just let it play out.
As Terezi was rather surprised and mildly disgusted to sniff out later, most of those late-night screaming matches had already devolved into sloppy hateful make-outs. Everyone who had attended Kanaya's meeting felt a little embarrassed, but that feeling passed. Eridan's scorned feelings on the other hand, did not.
The next week found Nepeta dead and Sollux half-dead, as Eridan and Gamzee both went on a crazy rampage.
