Promstuck! Humanstuck! Aradia and Sollux were supposed to have the perfect night at prom together, until he leaves her at home! What will come of it? (M for later chapters)

4. Chapter 4

The sun poured through sollux's bedroom window forcing his eyes open. The boy groaned and glanced at the clock 11:26 am. "Too early" he complained, he stretched as the ring of his phone nearly gave him a heart attack. He picked up his sliding phone to check the text. The light was so bright he had to squint but he did recognize the familiar style of text as Feferi's.

)(-EY SOLLUX! SO -EXCITED FOR TUNAT-E! W)(-EN WILL YOU B—E )(-ER-E? 38D

Sollux smiled at his phone the capital letters clearly reflecting how happy she was to be going with him to prom. Aradia's face flashed in his mind as he pushed it away. She will understand, he thought. There is no way I could just turn ff down like that.. Once I explain she will understand. He lied to himself and started his response.

Hey ff II wiill bee there twoniight around 2even-ii2h 2ound good?

Within a minute her got a response.

SOUNDS GR-EAT! S-EA YOU TUNAT-E! 38D

Sollux set the phone down and went downstairs to hunt for breakfast.

Aradia pulled Into her driveway at around eleven thirty. She came in the back door with all of her bags in her hands and set them on the counter. Well with all of my shopping out of the way, what should I do now? It's still relatively early... She wondered. Eventually she settled on the couch to watch a movie and take up her time.

About halfway through Law Abiding Citizen she grew bored, pulled out her phone, and decided to text sollux.

Hey y0u, when are y0u picking me up this evening? Als0 are we d0ing anything bef0re 0r afterward?

The response took a couple of minutes before she got it.

Bee there around 2iix aa, yeah II planned on takiing you out two a niice diinner before hand

0h alright see y0u at six then. L0ve y0u

With that the conversation was over, and Aradias heart was racing, Gog did she adore this boy. Tonight was going to be one of the best of her life because of him. She turned her attention back to the movie.

The rest of Aradias day dragged on monotonously. She basically watched a few more movies till about four thirty then she realized she had better head out if she want her hair done. She grabbed her keys and headed back to Kanaya's house.
