He didn't notice the hand until it reached out of the bookshelf and clawed at his arm. But the moment he turned to see it, he fell in love. He reaches out, crooning, and takes the hand in his own. It scrabbles at his skin, tugging, and he pets its arm lovingly.

"Hey there...Come on out? Come on, there'th got to be more of you, hmm? I won't bite...much..."

Wow, way to give him a chanthe! [He resists the pull, irritated] Look, I know you're thuppothed to be judging my love life, but you don't have to do thith!

[W h a t...

She doesn't let go of his hand.]

He just scratched your arm up, stupid!

It wath an akthident! [He strokes the creature's arm, and it flails at him, grabbing his shirt and dragging him closer]

[Terezi digs in her heels, pulling back.]

Sollux, stop it!

[Sollux curses and reluctantly releases the hand, letting Terezi drag him away, but it still has hold of his shirt]

What'th wrong!?

[THAT'S RIGHT YOU'D BETTER LISTEN TO YOUR MOIRAIL. She lifts her cane in her free hand, trying to bat the monster off of Sollux.]

You're petting a monster!

Hey, thtop it! [He tries to grab the cane] You're hurting him!

[Is this really happening?]

Do you want me to just let him eat you?

He won't eat me! He'th my mate-- my friend! [It lets go of his shirt and scrabbles at his arm again, cutting furrows in his skin that bleed dirty mustard]

[Wow nope nope nope? Everyone is going insane the week, that's the only explanation. She grabs for his shoulders, trying to turn him around to face her and pull him farther away from that thing.]

Aradia is your matesprit, stupid. And I'm your moirail, so shouldn't you be listening to me?

[He lets her drag him away, shouting over his shoulder.] I'll be right back!

[And he lets Terezi pull him, his head down and his shoulders up] I'm lithtening to you... but I don't know what to do. I care about AA, but...

Sollux, I am going to punch you! It's a monster!

How can you thay that about the perthon I'm in love with!?

Because it's not a person, stupid.

[She's tugging him further away. She's going to lock him in his room or something and make sure he stays safe.]

What are you talking about? [He tries to free his hand, but unless he wants to use his powers he's pretty pathetically weak] You know that a lot of the alienth here think we're monthterth, too! You don't know what he'th like.

[She tightens her grip and stops tugging him long enough to take both of his hands in hers.]

Look what it did to your arm.

[He squirms a bit, but doesn't fight her grip] It wath an akthident...

[Uggggh stop, Sollux, you're giving her all these gross pale feelings.]

You trust me, right?

Sure, I trutht you... I guethh.

[She feels a sudden rush of pity for him and steps forward, wrapping her arms around him to hug him tightly.]

Don't say "I guess", you jerk.

[Oh, well that helps a lot. He sighs and puts his arms around her tightly]

I'm not uthed to having a moirail...thorry. I do trutht you, tz. I'm jutht a jerk.

Duh.

[She steps away, grinning as she takes his hand.]

Come on! We need to get your arm fixed up.

Yeah, okay. [Glum again as he starts to walk towards the stairs] Do you think he liketh me?

[The shit she puts up with...]

Aradia likes you.

...I know...
