Format: Prose
Summary: Terezi's been jilted by Bluekat and needs a little mustard love.
Warnings: None.

Sollux usually didn't spend a lot of time in the forest on Floor 6, but the lack of computers might have been making him antsy. For once, he felt like walking around for a bit, and a forest seemed like the best place to do some walking.

After half an hour of pushing branches aside, tripping on roots, and blasting wild fauna, he wondered why he had ever thought this was a good idea.

She grinned right back. "They should! I am very delicious."

He eyed her skeptically, then leaned in closer and licked her cheek. "Ugh, nope."

Terezi giggled again, pushing his face away. "Rude! You don't get the right to judge, anyway. You taste like old, rotten mustard!"

He snorts and pushes back. "Do not. I tathte like thweet deliciouth honey."

She grabs for his hand!

"I think there is something wrong with your tastebuds, Tholluxth!"

"No, you've jutht probably methhed yourth up with licking chalk all day!" He lets her take his hand, blinking a little in surprise.

She makes a face at him, sticking out her tongue, then begins to lead him deeper into the forest. "Chalk is a delicacy! It isn't my fault you can't appreciate it."

"It'th dithguthting! And I can't appreciate it becauthe I can't tathte colourth." He follows deeper into the forest, not really paying attention to where they're going.

She grins at him over her shoulder, not really paying attention to where they're going, either. "You're lucky you aren't blind then, huh?"

"Not yet," Sollux said, snorting. He still recalled his own prediction that he would go blind before dying the second time. So far, that hadn't come true. "When I go blind, if I have time before I die, you have to teach me that shit."

She finally stopped next to a stream, dropping his hand and plopping down on the ground. "Okay. But I am not sure how good of a teacher I'll be!"

"I'll be blind," Sollux said, plunking down next to her. "I don't think I'll care how bad you are, tho long ath I have a chanthe of theeing eventually."

"It isn't really seeing," she corrected, dangling one hand in the water. "It's... Kind of hard to explain!"

He cocked his head. "But it thtill letth you get around ath if you can thee."

She nodded, grinning at him. "It's smelling and tasting, though!"

"Yeah, I know that." He snorted faintly and picked up a leaf, beginning to shred it. "Tho it'th weird."

"Maybe I am just higher up on the evolutionary ladder than you!" She responds, splashing at him.

Hey! He splashes her back. "Maybe I'll learn it in half the time you did!"

"No way! My lusus was the best teacher ever, and anyway, I am way more savvy than you."

"You're not thavvy in the leatht." He rolled onto his back and looked up at her with a grin. "Totally the unthavvietht."

She scowls at him, covering his face with a wet hand. "Liar."

He sputtered and batted the hand away, then wiped the water off of his face. "Rude."

She grinned. "You started it, you big wriggler."

"Did not," he said, and immediately put his hands out to ward hers off. Just in case.

"Did too!" So she'll just... Try to dump a handful of water on him.
