I don't think I'll be able to update this every day like I hoped. I'll just do my best to go outside and get to the internet. Fuck heatwaves, they make you so tired!
"Fuck!" Karkat yelled.
"That'th twenty buckth KK." Sollux said, smirking. Karkat growled and handed him the money. Sollux grinned and put it in his pocket. "Thankth."
"Fuck you." Sollux smirked and poked his nose.
"Tho gay." Karkat rolled his eyes and lay down on the floor. "Wanna play again?"
"No. I don't." Sollux shrugged and lay next to him. They spent awhile just staring at the ceiling in boring silence until Sollux's dad called them for dinner.
Dinner was fish cooked with onions and mushrooms with some seasonings on it. It was pretty tasty. Sollux's dad talked a bit during dinner about adult stuff Karkat didn't really care about. He also asked Karkat about how long he'd lived in Alternia and what he thought of it and some other questions. Karkat answered them all politely and when he finished eating Sollux's dad asked him if he was staying over.
"Sure. Why not?" Karkat didn't bother to call Porrim and Kankri because they probably assumed he was going to stay over anyway. Karkat and Sollux spent the rest of the evening watching TV until Sollux's dad made them go to bed. Sollux gave Karkat a spare sleeping bag to sleep in, which he put on the floor. Karkat moved the sleeping bag away from Sollux's bed. He didn't feel like a rerun of when Sollux had stayed over at his house.
"G'night KK."
"G'night." Karkat grunted.
"Hey you two!" Karkat jumped awake and sat up. Sollux was awake too and opened the bedroom window.
"What the hell do you guyth want at thith fucking hour?!" Karkat got up and looked out the window. Roxy, Calliope, Gamzee and Tavros were all standing outside.
"There's a woods right near your house!" Roxy said.
"Yeah, no shit. I can thee it."
"So we gotta go have a party in there at midnight! C'mon!"
"You want to go into the foretht at night?! That'th dangrouthe!"
"We're going whether or not you come!"
"Fine!" Sollux opened the window and jumped out. Karkat followed behind him, then realized he didn't have any shoes or socks on. Sollux did have socks on though.
"How the fuck can I walk through snow barefoot?!" Karkat complained.
"How about I jutht carry you?" Sollux offered.
"No, I'll just get my fucking shoes." Karkat turned to get them but Sollux grabbed him and put him on his shoulders. "Sollux! Jesus fuck! Put me down!" Sollux laughed and shook his head.
"Come on you guys!" Roxy called. Sollux ran up to the others and they followed them into the forest. Calliope and Tavros had brought flashlights while Gamzee just had some glow-in-the-dark nail polish on, which didn't really do anything except make his fingernails look creepy.
"Here's a good spot!" Roxy called. She ran ahead and they all ran with her. She led them to a clearing with some logs lying on the ground. Roxy immediately got to work on rolling the logs so that they all formed a circle. Gamzee helped out and Sollux put Karkat down and helped as well. Karkat just stood and watched with Calliope and Tavros.
Eventually they'd made a wide circle/something-agon with the logs. Roxy then grabbed a bunch of sticks and piled them into the middle. Karkat sat down and watched her light a campfire. She laughed and danced around it. Gamzee picked Tavros up and put him down on one of the logs. He sat next to him and Sollux sat next to Karkat.
"Why are you all sitting down?!" Roxy exclaimed. "This is a party! Get up and dance and get drunk!" Roxy held up some bottles of alcohol. Of course she brought those. Roxy also brought a CD player and started playing a hip-hop CD loudly and singing at the top of her lungs. She danced with Calliope and Gamzee started dancing too and singing loudly. Sollux got Karkat up and dancing and Gamzee picked Tavros up and got him to dance. Roxy got drunk, Gamzee had a bit of alcohol and overall they had an obnoxiously loud party in the middle of the forest. God, they were weird as shit.
"Hey!" They all stopped to see some men with flashlights approaching. Roxy shut off the music and doused the campfire.
"Run for it!" she yelled. Karkat was carried by Sollux and they all tore through the forest. Karkat could hear Roxy laughing and the men yelling at them. He had no idea whether they were even going the right direction. All he could see was what was behind Sollux, who had him slung over his shoulder.
Eventually they came to Sollux's house and they all ran inside the garage. Roxy collapsed on the ground, still laughing. Gamzee put Tavros down and Karkat realized he hadn't grabbed his wheelchair. Sollux put him down and stretched. Calliope sat down next to Roxy and tried to catch her breath. Karkat just stood there.
"That was fucking insane." he commented. Roxy laughed and nodded.
"Why did those men come after us?" Calliope asked.
"You're not allowed to light fireth in that foretht." Sollux said. "But it theemed fine there. We didn't thtart a foretht fire."
"Yeah! Think positive!" Roxy said, giving Sollux a thumbs-up. "And we had so much fun!"
"But what about my wheelchair?" Tavros asked.
"I'll think up something to tell your parents Tavbro." Gamzee said, patting his head. "C'mon, I'll take you home now."
"Yeah, you two should go home too." Sollux said to Roxy and Calliope. They nodded and stood up. Karkat watched them pile into a car he assumed was Roxy's (she was driving it). Roxy blared the radio and drove off. Karkat rolled his eyes and they walked back into Sollux's house. Sollux's dad somehow had slept through the whole thing. Karkat could hear him snoring in his room. Sollux grinned and they snuck back into his room. Karkat lay back in the sleeping bag and Sollux lay on his bed.
"Was there even a point to that?!" Karkat grumbled.
"It wathn't boring." Sollux pointed out. Karkat shrugged and closed his eyes. "G'night KK."
"G'night."
