WE KNOW WHAT YOU ARE [PAFL + HOMESTUCK CROSSOVER]

The Cube Conversation

(there may or may not be mild yura ♠ vriska in this)

Be Yura again because why the fuck not?

I woke up in the morning, looking around my room as I blinked my eyes open. Looking at the trolls that had partied a bit too much. Even Karkat did, and that's saying something, because that thing is an insufferable little prick. More like if you even say a word to him, he'll bite your finger off. But who cares? I'm awake now, it's Saturday, what's there to care about? Exactly. Nothing. I can do whatever the hell I want today. And Mom's gone too. Just for now, anyway.

I looked over at Karkat, who was hanging off the edge of my bed upside down, a box holding his head up. Context: last night I had to carry the little bitch home.

Something was a bit off this morning. I looked around the room to see only 11 of the 12 trolls that were here before. Then, I heard a little giggle from my closet and went to check it out. Sounds like Terezi. I opened the door to see her holding the cube. The cube.

"OH, H3Y, YUR4! GOOD MORN1NG! 1 FOUND TH1S TH1NG. 1T DO3SN'T SM3LL L1K3 4NYTH1NG 1'V3 3V3R SM3LL3D B3FOR3." Terezi held up the cube, and I basically snatched it from her.

"Don't touch it, I wouldn't want it getting broken or lost."

"OH. OK. 1S 1T L1K3... M4G1C OR SOM3TH1NG? WH4T DO3S 1T DO? WHY 1S 1T SO SP3C14L TO YOU?"

"Well, it kind of senses Mutants. Whenever it touches one, it glows."

"SOOOOO, 4R3 YOU US1NG 1T FOR BL4CKM41L R1GHT NOW OR SOM3TH1NG?"

"How'd you know?"

"1 COULD K1ND4 SM3LL 1T ON YOU. 4LSO, YOU S33M L1K3 TH3 K1ND OF P3RSON TO DO TH4T."

"Oh," Is all I could respond with.

"Ooooooooh, you have a secret?" Vriska popped up behind me, causing me to flinch and whip my head around to look at her. "If you don't mind, there's a little something I'd like to test with that cu8e of yours."

"I don't think I trust you enough yet."

"1 TRUST H3R! 4ND 1 WOULD TRUST H3R 1F 1 W3R3 YOU," Terezi added, and I just shrugged.

"Maybe you could try it some other time," I looked back at Vriska, who had her arms crossed.

"Fiiiiiiiine, I'll wait," She sighed, flopping onto my bed. "You know, this is actually kinda comforta8le."

"Yeah, that's why I sleep on it."

Terezi crawled out of my closet and then flopped directly onto Vriska, who made an 'oof' sound when Terezi landed on her. "YOU'R3 4LSO COMFORT4BL3."

Vriska giggled and pushed Terezi off the bed. "You gotta earn it."

"H3YYYY," Terezi whined, sitting up. "YOU'R3 SO RUD3."

"I know. Anyway, Yura... how much money would it take to possi8ly 8uy the cu8e off of you?"

"Sorry, not for sale," I said, stuffing the cube in my pocket.

"Yuuuuuuuuraaaaaaaa... why not?" She got up. This bitch...

"I said not for sale, spiderbitch."

"You stole that insult from Karkat."

"You think I don't know that?"

"Come on, Yura, cu8e."

"No."

"Why?"

She inched closer.

"No."

"8ut whyyyyyyyy?"

"Because."

"That's not an answer."

I pushed her away. "It is if I make it one."

"Hmm... do you h8 me or something? Or just not trust me? Either is understanda8le," Vriska started to pace around the room, staring me down the entire time.

"Is both a good answer?"

"Sure, suuuuuuuure," She started, turning to face me and then unexpectedly snatching the cube from my hand and running off with it. I ran after her.

After a couple minutes, I cornered her. "Hand it over."

"Nope. ::::)"

"Come on, don't make this harder than it has to be."

"You know me."

"No, I actually don't. Not that well, anyway."

"Cool. You're not getting the stupid cu8e 8ack."

"Yes, I am," I tried to take it back but she hid it behind her back.

"Try."

I tried to get the cube back still, finding every possible way to try and get it. I reached behind her back and grabbed her wrist, and she switched the cube to the other hand. So I grabbed her other wrist, too, pinning her against the wall by both. I didn't realize what it might have seemed like until she gave me an evil looking smirk.

"Hand it over."

"Nah."

"I hate you."

"I know."

Vriska shoved me off of her and pushed me to the floor, putting the cube in one of her pockets. I just growled(?) at her and stood up, dusting myself off. "The fuck is wrong with you?"

"I've gotta admit, a lot of stuff is wrong with me," she replied plainly, looking back at me. "And you, sir, are gonna 8e one of my victims," she stepped closer, grabbing me by the shirt collar and pushing me against the wall with her robotic arm. "My, how the ta8les have turned."

"I- what? Ok, you can't just do that."

"Shut up, yes I can."

Vriska looked at me, growled and then pushed her lips against mine, biting me in the process. Then, she threw me to the ground again. She pulled the cube out from her pocket. "Don't expect getting this 8ack any time soon."

She then walked away, leaving me stunned for once in my life. Nepeta peeked around the edge, confusedly staring at me. ":33< *ac p33rs around the edge and asks the human... did you just-"

"No."

"x33< *ac says she swears she saw the smooch!*"

"You saw nothing."

":33< oh, mew might not know yet, but i s33 efurrything," she said threateningly before disappearing back behind the door frame.

Four words to describe all that just went down.

God. Fucking. Damn it.
