You have to admit that you're so incredibly lucky to have someone as great as Sollux. You're so glad that everything has fallen into place the way it has, otherwise you'd have no idea how it would've turned out. You wake up groggily and it is now Saturday. Thank the dear lord Jegus that the window blinds were closed; saved you the effort of getting up and having to close them with your quite unpleasant hissing. After a good half hour you realize that it's really really quiet. You turn over to see the messed up sheets of another body. Oh that's right, you're at Sollux's apartment... Everything from last night comes flooding back to you like a heavy cloud of hurt and sadness. You groan and sit up slowly. Where was that four-eyed fucker? You quickly start to panic even though it might not be very necessary and begin to search for him.

"SOLLUX? SOLLUX WHERE ARE YOU?" you call out, hints of worry and fear coating your voice. You peek around the corner, only to see him on his phone on the couch, ear-buds in. You are now fuming, but you guess you cant be too mad at him since he had his ear-buds in and you didn't call too loudly.

Padding over to him, you wrap your ams around his top half and feel him literally jump in your arms as he rips his music out and screams in a tone in which you've never heard him use before, "JEGU2 FUCKIING CHRII2T!! KARKAT WHAT THE MOTHER FUCK. 2NEAKIING UP ON ME LIIKE THAT- II almo2t had a gogdamned heart attack." He breathes a deep sigh of both relief and slight annoyance. You had let go of him and are now shaking and mentally crumbling into nothingness as his words pound through your head. You aren't used to his loud tone and it honestly scared you a little, to the point where you kinda felt like crying. His expression softens then as he stands up and realizes that he was a bit too harsh. "Oh, gog, ii'm 2orry.. II diin't mean two 2nap 2o har2hly at you. II'm 2orry, Kk." he says apologetically, but you just back up further.

"LETS JUST... GET THIS ONLINE SCHOOL SHIT SET UP SO I CANT GET OUT OF YOUR HAIR" you whisper out, close to tears. He frowns slightly.

"Ok. Come here then. Let'2 get thii2 done and over wiith." He cracks a tiny smile, takes a seat back down on the couch, and opens his husktop, typing at a seemingly inhuman speed ?from what you've seen. You sit next to him, still shaken up from the shouting not a minute ago and watch as he plugs in all the information. In less than 10 minutes he has you set up. He hands you the husktop and explains what each thing does and how to turn work in. "2o there ya have iit. II hope thii2 work2. II'll go tell that attendance lady on Monday that you've deciiided two 2wiitch." This time you smile at him warmly and attack him with a tight hug, despite how sore you are. He returns the hug gingerly and is careful to not put too much pressure around your sides.

"I KNOW I'VE ALREADY TOLD YOU THIS, BUT FUCKING THANK YOU. ILL LOAD THIS ALL UP ON MY OWN HUSKTOP AT HOME. THANKS, CAPTOR." you say in a childish tone. He just nods but suddenly his expression changes to a very serious one.

"What about Crabdad? What wiill he do?" You think for a moment, you really don't know. You haven't been in your actual apartment for about close to 5 days already.

You don't want Sollux to worry so you just say, "IT'LL BE FINE. I PROMISE. DONT WORRY. HE USUALLY JUST NEEDS A FEW DAMN DAYS TO COOL THE FUCK OFF ANYWAYS." He seems content with this answer and ruffles your hair, keeping in mind your short horns. "WELL, IM GONNA HEAD BACK HOME NOW. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING." You stand up and grab all your belongings, holding the door open for a few seconds as you call over your shoulder and shoot him an almost too happy grin, "I LOVE YOU, SOLLUX." With this, you make your way out and start to walk home in rare high spirits.
