Characters: Sollux Captor and open
Setting: Starting in room 2-06, but you can assume he's wandering the halls anywhere, since he'll go out exploring.
Format: I'll follow your lead.
Summary: Sollux has just arrived (~~again~~) and he's confused and Unhappy about it.
Warnings: None yet.

Sollux didn't remember falling asleep, but he definitely remembered waking up. He fought the sleep paralysis for the full thirty seconds, and then shot up from the bed the moment his eyes opened, his teeth bared in a snarl.

He'd been dreaming...something. Something bad. He always woke up badly when he dreamed about his own death, but the specifics were fading like wisps of fog in the morning, and he couldn't be sure if it was a vision or not. The voices were sure loud, though. Fuck were they loud.

He was distracted from the question of the dream, though, as he looked around the unfamiliar room in confusion. "What the actual fuck?"

"Kithhing?" His smirk widened, his eyes dancing behind his two-coloured glasses. "Oh yeah, kithhing ith like the magic ingredient. You should try it again, all the time."

"Really?" She said, giggling again and slid her hands down to his shoulders, attempting to look coy and likely failing at it. "Then I will definitely keep that in mind..!" She leaned up, lips pursed-

-and kissed the tip of his nose with a laugh.

"In moderation, of course."

He leaned forward a little, all ready for another kiss, but then her lips were on his nose and he rolled his eyes, giving a lock of her hair a tug. "You're thilly."

"But you like it, so there," came the retort, and leaned forward to bump her nose against his. She pulled back a little afterward, hands squeezing his shoulders as she closed her eyes.

"So I guess you can steal one if you really want..."

"Ith it thtealing if you give me permission?" Sollux asked, flashing a grin as she closed her eyes. But he didn't hesitate before leaning in and kissing her again, softly.

"Probably no- mm!"

The words trailed into a quiet sound, and she pressed back into the kiss as gently as she could, fingers tightening slightly on his shoulders. She hadn't ever thought she'd have this again- having him here now, like this was almost too much for her to take.

He snickered into her mouth a little even as he leaned into the kiss, sliding his hands down to the small of her back. He certainly had never thought he'd have this again, either.

She felt wonderful in his arms, and his heart soared, even as a voice whispered doom in the back of his mind. But what else was new?

She gave a little shiver at the feel of his hand sliding down her back, hands letting go of his shoulders to slide down his arms, gripping tightly to them as he leaned closer. The proximity was simultaneously wonderful and a little overwhelming- and aside from that hug when her soulbot had exploded, she couldn't remember the last time she'd been this close to him. She was surprised the quick thrum of her heartbeat wasn't more audible to both of them, as fast and as loud as she felt like it was.

Fortunately, she was pretty sure they were more distracted by the kiss than anything else.

His own heart was beating at least as fast, and he definitely could sympathize with feeling overwhelmed. He could scarcely believe that this was happening, but he relaxed more and more as the kiss drew out.

Finally he was forced to come up for air and he broke it regretfully, sighing. "Wow."

"Yeah," she breathed, a little dazedly, and then flushed at the tone of her own voice, trying to come up with something more eloquent to say. She couldn't though, and settled instead for leaning her cheek against his shoulder for a few moments, breathing deeply to try and slow her heart a little.

He was more than okay with this, and cuddled her close while he caught his own breath. "Tho, uh... we can do thith again, thometime, I hope?" he asked, teasing.

"Oh, well..." She pretended to hesitate, hiding her burning cheeks by pressing her face into the crook of his neck, the tip of a finger tracing idle patterns on one of his arms. "If you really want to..." She nuzzled closer, giving his arms a squeeze. "Then yeah- that's definitely alright with me."

Thankfully, he knew she was kidding. He grinned and squeezed her tight. "Cool."

"Should I preparing for surprise kissing onslaughts?" She laughed, her hand resuming its idle movements against his arm, the other slipping around him so she could walk her fingers up and down his spine. "Or will this only be every once in a while?"

"You should alwayth be prepared for thurpritheth when it cometh to Thollukth Captor," he said playfully. For once, he was in a damn good mood, and no wonder.

"You're not the only one that can surprise a troll you know," she laughed, and shifted her body weight suddenly, knocking the both of them sideways. She laughed and pressed a kiss to his cheek and then stood, twisting back around to face him, rocking back on her heels with her hands clasped behind her back.

"But I think you know that already, huh?"

He indeed yelped in surprise as she knocked him over, and when she got up, he sat up again, blushing yellow. "Yeah, I definitely knew that," he said, grinning sheepishly. "Hey, what room are you in?"

"I'm in 1-13," she replied, leaning forward, her own blush still fairly noticeable on her face. "Why?"

He got up and reached out, tweaking her nose. "In cathe I want to vithit. You know where I live, after all." He gestured around at the room. "For now, anyway."

"So-llux..!" She squeaked, hands rising to her 'abused' nose, though she twitched it in his direction a moment later, just because she could. "And okay, yeah. Come by whenever I guess, just try not to wake my roommates if it's late."

Sollux snickered and then hesitated. "Who are your roommateth?" he asked curiously, but also with caution. So far he hadn't met all of his, and one of them was just some human. But for all he knew, Aradia was rooming with people he knew.

"Terezi and a couple of human girls- I haven't talked to the humans much- in fact I really haven't been in my room very much at all..."

She's so accustomed to not sleeping, that she hasn't really thought too hard about not doing it.

"Why?"

Terezi was okay, and Aradia could handle a couple of human girls. Sollux relaxed and smiled. "No reathon. I jutht didn't want to worry you were thleeping with Eridan in the nektht bed or thomething. I couldn't thleep under thothe thircumthtantheth, thatth for sure."

"That's sweet of you Sollux," she laughed, and reached out to hook her pinky around his gently. "You don't need to worry though- I can take care of myself." It was cute that he was worried though, and she smiled at him to make sure he knew she appreciated the sentiment.

"I know you can!" Sollux said quickly. "I mean, you're god tier and all. I'm not worried. But I thtill wanted to know."
