Characters: Sollux and YOU!
Setting: The dormitory levels, but if you want to meet up with him somewhere else that's OK, too.
Format: Whatever you like
Summary: Sollux is out and about, looking for love in all the wrong places.
Warnings: Inappropriateness

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..."

Terezi is wandering the dormitory, because she hasn't seen Sollux in a few days and she's started to get worried. When she finally sees him, she sighs in relief--he's in one piece, at least, and petting a...

What is that?

"Sollux? What are you doing?"

[Attack first, questions later. That's how he usually did things. When Henry sees an arm clawing at a small boy-like figure with horns, his instincts kick in and his saber is out. In a flash of light before Sollux can even blink, he slices at the hand!]

Bloody hell, watch yourself, lad.

Huh? [Sollux turns, holding to his new friend and scoring himself a scratch to the forearm in the process] Oh hey, TZ. Thith ith my new friend, uh... he hathn't given me hith name yet, but we're jutht getting acquainted.

[Okay what the ever loving fuck!?

Sollux looks in horror as the hand of his beloved is cloven from its body, and then drops the still-twitching hand as he turns to glare at the strange human he's never seen before in his life]

What the fuck did you do that for, athhhole?

[He rips off his glasses and blasts eye lasers straight at Henry]

[oh 2hit.

Er, shit. He doesn't expect THAT of all reactions, but once those lasers are speeding towards him, his saber is up, light clashing against light. Sparks fly everywhere as he struggles to hold against the violent force.]

It was clawing your arm to ribbons! You're welcome, by the way! [Then with a grunt, he swings his sword down and quickly side steps. Then raises it up again to shield himself from the next blast if it ever comes.]

[JUDGING SO HARD. She reaches for his other hand to tug him away.]

Sollux, that's a monster.

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!

[Sollux expected to see a smoking stain where the man was, not for his lasers to be deflected. He squares off in front of Henry and snarls, baring his teeth]

You killed my future matethprit!

[W h a t...

She doesn't let go of his hand.]

He just scratched your arm up, stupid!

[Not taking his eyes off the boy(?) or letting his guard down, he keeps a steady stance. At the strange vocabulary, he gives him a confused look.]

If that means "beast that will stand over your mangled corpse, having itself a good laugh, then feast on your flesh", then yes. You're correct. Besides, I only cut off its arm. Can't be dead... [then he adds with a small shrug:] ...yet.

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

Maybe the arm wath the whole thing! [The stump's disappeared now, back into the wall, but Sollux doesn't look. He's still squared off against Henry, growling like a dog] And it meanth...boyfriend! To a human, anyway. What giveth you the right? We could have been happy together!

[Henry tries not to snort unattractively, he really does! The kid looks so distressed and angry over something that looked about two seconds from ripping his arm right off.

There's a lot of information to take in here, what with the whole not-being-human thing, the laser eyes, etc. But he takes it all in stride. Gotta keep his cool, like usual.]

I apologize if I ruined such a beautiful union of alien and monster, but I believe my assumptions were correct. [Briefly eyes the angry scratches on Sollux's arm.]

[Sollux looks down at the scratches and rubs away a bit of yellow blood, sighing. He growls a bit]

I guethh it wath an underthtandable mithunderthtanding.

[He almost feels bad. Almost.]

Glad we got that sorted out, then. Can I trust you not to blast me again with your...optical rays or whatever?

Tho long ath you don't kill anyone elthe I'm in love with. [He scowls] What'th with the light showth? I've never theen anyone deflect my lather eyeth like that.

[He shrugs as if to say "Fair enough," instead of actually...saying it...then looks down at his saber, which he drops to his side.]

Well, to be honest, it was a spur of the moment decision. I didn't think it would deflect at all. Just my luck, it seems. [Then he nods towards him.]

But I believe the much more interesting specimen is you. Never fought against someone with eye...lasers before.

Did you jutht call me a thpethimen? [He sneers, a mouth full of pointy fangs] You're the alien, ath far ath I'm contherned, human. I'm not interethting. I'm a low-blood troll with crathy ath shit pthychic powerth. Nothing more.

[He chuckles airily, finding these gray-skinned kids to be so testy and adorable all at the same time. His encounter with that strange Eridan fellow had been pretty similar to this one, now that he thinks about it...]

Are you sure? You cannot make things spontaneously explode with a snap of your fingers, or rain blood, or Heaven's forbid, turn things to gold by touching them? [Rolls his eyes.] Of course you are, you ass. Humans can only dream or attempt to mimic a show of such power.

[Sollux shrugs] That'th not true. I happen to know a few humanth with pretty imprethhive powerth.

[Smirk] But I guethh you know everything.

[OK, you got him this time. He shoots him a sort of confused look.]

All right, say there are humans with these "impressive powers." That does not necessarily make you any less interesting.

[OK, despite himself he's starting to get flattered. He flushes a little and looks down]

Well, okay, whatever.

[Whoops, that really wasn't his intention, but oh well. Just roll with it, Henry.]

Sorry, didn't mean to embarrass you there. Anyway, I'm Henry.

I wathn't embarrathhed. [He lifts his head defiantly] My name'th Thollukth Captor.

[Little quirk of his lips] Well then, Mr. Captor, although it could have been under much more favorable circumstances, it is nice to meet you.
