Unrequited (humanstuck)

Chapter 2

The next day at school I was almost too tired to focus, but that wasn't abnormal. I didn't eat at lunch, I just tried to sleep. KK came over and sat down next to me, poking me hard. "YO, WAKE UP." I slowly lifted my head and turned to him with an exhausted, sour expression. His deep auburn, almost red eyes locked into mine and I gave an irritated sigh.
"KK, II'm two tiired two deal wiith your rantiing riight now..." I put my head back down in my arms and shut my eyes. KK looked at me and furrowed his brow. He shoved me a bit, almost knocking me off the table. Luckily I say up quickly and caught myself with a gasp. "Ah..! What the hell, KK! II'm tiired!" He looked a bit mad which wasn't /too/ uncommon. He was a pissy boy and his temper resembled his hight, short.
"SHUT UP, FOUR EYES. I'M TIRED TOO. I DIDN'T SLEEP AGAIN LAST NIGHT." He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair, trying to calm himself down. He looked back at me, a little less mad. "SORRY, IM JUST A LITTLE ON EDGE..." He sighed. I frowned slightly and messed up his hair a bit.
"IIt'2 fiine...II get ya." I chuckled at the sight of him. His sweater was a bit baggy but his jeans were tight. He had dark circles under his eyes and now, thanks to me, his hair was messed up. He slapped my hand away.
"GOD DAMN IT SOLLUX! NOW YOU'RE TARGETING MY HAIR?!" He fixed it fast, not doing a very good job at it.
"Niice job..." I laughed a bit more. "Lemme 2ee iit..." I fixed his hair a bit more, doing a much better job than he did. "There. You're good." He frowned and touched his hair, making sure it was to his liking.
"...THANKS." He blushed a bit and I smiled tiredly, yawning and laying my head on his chest, finding comfort in Karkat's company. I knew how this would make him react..does that make me a bad person? He blushed harder and rubbed my shoulder. "H-HOW'S YOUR BROTHER..?" He asked even though he knew the answer. "2ame a2 alway2, 2tiill 2leepiing." I looked up at him. "Why do you a2k..?" He looked down at me and frowned.
"BECAUSE IM WORRIED ABOUT YOU." I smirked, but a small happiness filled me and I found the smirk mixed with a genuine smile.
"Why are you worriied about me?" He looked kind of frustrated when I said it.
"YOU ALREADY KNOW, FUCKASS." I smiled and eventually nodded.
"Yeah, II know. But II wanted to hear you 2ay iit..."
"WELL TOO BAD." I chuckled softly at his words, but he was right. I've known how he felt about me for a long time. And he knows that I'm aware. He's never said it, but he makes it clear in other ways. He's such a good friend, even though he's cold sometimes. I do like him, a lot actually, but I don't feel exactly the same as he feels for me. I love someone else. But he barely knows I exist, and KK hates him.
"Hey Kar, you got a dollar I can borroww?" My head shot up and I looked at him, the youngest of the Ampora brothers, blushing faintly. His tight clothes hugged and showed off his tall, slender body in all the right places, sometimes I felt jealous that other people could set their eyes on someone so perfect. His hair was always pristine and combed neatly with a purple streak in the middle. He had a certain...hipster swag...but it complimented him nicely. KK though, was not the slightest bit impressed.
"FUCK OFF, AMPORA! WHY IN THE BLUE FUCK WOULD I LEND YOU MONEY?!" Eridan looked unsurprised.
"Tch, didn't think so..." He looked over at me, making eye contact and leaning over a bit. "WWhat about you...you got anyfin?" I blushed harder and shoved my hand in my pocket, rustling around in the pit of cloth to feel for any money. I pulled out a bill and handed it to him.
"II...only have a fiive..." He smiled slyly and looked at KK and then back to me.
"See Kar, that's howw you wwin friends. WWhat's your name?"
I stuttered, shit!
"M-Me..? II..II'M 2ollux." I spoke with a lisp that I truly did hate.. It was so embarrassing! The worst part was my introduction. People would always repeat my name with the lisp just as I did, making sure they heard me right. But how could I correct them? I'd say it again, only to confirm they were correct in the 'th' aspect..eventually I just wrote it out to show them it was an 's'. Great, now I have to explain this to the boy of my dreams.. He stood up straight and smiled brightly at me.
"Sollux?" Eridan pronounced my name perfectly. What?! How? Maybe he heard me talk before and knew I had a lisp? Whatever the reason, it made my heard jump. Just hearing him say my name was enough to make me melt into his accented voice. Even though he had a stutter, it seemed to fit him perfectly. Nothing else would be able to take the place of Eridan's voice and beautiful imperfections. "WWe should hang out sometime. You seem cool." A deep shade of red colored my face.
"Y-Yeah, II'd liike that..." I smiled softly and looked back at the table. KK flashed Eridan a twisted expression.
"GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE, FUCKASS!" Eridan sneered and looked at me.
"I'll see you later, Sol." He looked at KK. "Later, freakshoww." He turned around, shoved the money in his pocket, then left. Something tells me I should have said something to relax the two boys and maybe try to resolve a little conflict, but I know better than to stick my nose into other people's business. I wonder why they don't like each other...
