Kanaya returned to Karkat's hive by the morning. She walked into the quiet and seemingly desolate home. Closing the door behind her she awoke the sleeping beauty on the couch. "Karkat?" Her voice flowed somberly. "NooooOOoooo..." His rough tone faded in and out. "Come Now Karkat,If I Have To Fight You It Won't Be Pleasant." "FIVE MORE MINUTES." He groaned,smacking his lips and digging himself further into the blankets the block out the now humming jade blood. Singing a toon between her lips she walked over ever so elegantly,gently tugging at the blankets. "KANAYA NO!" He protested. Voice muffled and fumming with anger under the many layers of wool. An idea popped into the motherly trolls head as a sinister grin bloomed from her lips. "Eridan Is Awake~" She cooed lightly. Karkat's head immediately sprouted from the bundle of blankets. His hair a mangled mess,strands pointing out in every direction. "Hm? Oh Dear,Static Electricity Huh?" She smirked. "WHA? HE'S NOT AWAKE!" "AND THE SUN IS UP!" "Karkat We Are On Earth, The Sun Here Won't Boil You Alive." Kanaya crossed her arms like a dissappointed lusus. "Correct,However You Are Now So-" Not a minute passed before Karkat ducked his head back under the blankets. "Karkat!" She scolded trying to pry them off of him. "NO!" "Get Back Here Right This Instant!" "KANAYA NO!" "Ugh! Kanaya Yes!" Eridan staggered into the room witnessing the child like attitude Karkat was pulling while Kanaya climbed around trying to find him in the jungle of cloth. "Really?" Kanaya stopped ubruptly when hearing his voice. Her head snapped up to look at him. "Is this nessasary?" Kanaya climbed off straightening out her red skirt and pulling down her bunched up sleeves. Eridan released a stressing sigh. "Get up Kar,and goodmorning Kan." "Goodmorning,Eridan." Karkat pulled the blankets down from his head. "ERIDAN?" "Yeah?" "UH-YOU OKAY?" "I'm fine." "GOOD." Eridan shrugged his shoulders then turning his head side to side hearing a sitisfying pop as he made his way into the kitchen. "Tea anyone?" Eridan called out from the kitchen. Kanaya walked in seeing  him,tea pot in hand. "Dear, Let Me Make That For You; You Just Go Sit Down Now." She her movements were gracefull taking the red kettle from his hand, eager to gain his trust after why happened. Eridan smiled lightly at her, his trust for her had grown a bit since the last time he'd seen her. Looking at her now he no longer seemed threatened. The soft gaze in her eyes was comforting and warm. "Thank you." "Of Course." Eridan exited the kitchen finding his way to sit on the couch next to Karkat. "So Karkat, I Didn't Think You Would Keep The Kettle I Gave You For Your Wriggling Day."

Sollux figitted with the golden ring he found in his hive. The yellow band held a precious gem of violet,something to remind him of when his old lover disapeared. As he ran his finger over the gemstone he was interrupted by the door of his hive. Feferi walked in not saying a word. Sollux shoved the ring in his pocket and stood up to make his presence known. "Hey FF." She seemed dazed at the moment, unknowing of his voice. "FF?" The odd the silence lasted a few more seconds before being shattered with her estatic voice. "Y-ES?!" Sollux jumped back. "Calm down FF, iit2 ju2t me." "O)(, I KNOW." Sollux chuckled. "2o,how diid the triip to that human infested hull go?" "ITS CALL-ED A 'MALL'
SOLFIS)( AND IT WAS GR-EAT!" She'd gone out with Aradia there and she'd been out doing things with her a lot lately. Mostly the burgendy blood inviting her and Nepeta to go out with her to places. "YOU'V-E B-E-EN
)(OM-E ALL -EV-ENING, W)(Y DONT YOU GO VISIT KARCRAB?" "Eh, me and KK don't talk much anymore."
"T)(-EN GO MAK-E UP AND )(ANG OUT!" She grinned uncontrollably. Sollux shrugged his shoulders when he felt Feferi grab his arm. "C'MON LAZY BON-ES!" "FF-!" "C'MOOOOON!" She whined dragging him from his comfortable place on the couch and towards the door. "Okay! Okay!" She let go bouncing like a little girl on Chirstmas. "II'll go." Sollux said begrudgingly. "YAY!" Feferi quickly shoved him out of the hive. Karkat lived a few blocks down so the exercise should be good for him.

Knocking on Karkat's door in which was immediately opened. The crabby troll stared at Sollux who he'd mistaken for Kanaya coming back from her hive. "HEY SOLLUX." "2up, can II come iin or what?" "UH, NOWS NOT A GOOD TIME." "KK don't liie to me." "IM NOT." "Then why don't II beliieve you? II2 iit GZ?" "NO-HEY!" Sollux pushed Karkat out of the way. "There2 liiterally no one here KK-oh waiit,diid II iinterupt 2ome priivate tiime?" Sollux gave a cocky smirk wiggling his eyebrows. "NO YOU FUCKING IMBECILE!" "Hehehe." "Hey Kar, wwhats all the screamin' for?" Hearing that familiar stutter Sollux whipped his head around to see Eridan standing in the hallway rubbing his eyes tiredly. Not another minute passed before Sollux reacted. Anger and worry overtook his features,grabbing the seadweller and hugging him. "Sollux?" Eridan blinked. "Where were you?!" "II've been lookiing for you and you ju2t dii2apeared!" "You can't do that!" "You ju2t can't leave me liike that!" "You can't go far away!" "Sol calm dowwn!" Karkat closed the door of his hive slinking behind Eridan, he growled deeply pulling his morail away from Sollux. Eridan's pheromones affecting him in a most protective manner. Wrapping his arms around the now panicked violet blood's waist protectively, those were his morail's grubs after all. "KK what the hell?!" Sollux pushed him back hissing at him,  only it didn't take long for him to react, again trying to guard Eridan. "Well I Didn't Think The Pheromones Would Affect You This Much, Karkat Most Of All I'm Surprised." Kanaya stood a few feet away watching the scene play out before her. "Now, Both Of You Let Go Of Eridan And Let's Sit Down To Discuss The Matter." They were both hesitant before releasing the seadweller who released a sigh as a tense atmosphere formed around them. Sollux sat next to Eridan,Karkat making sure he sat on the other side cramped his morail. "Well I See Their Making You Both Extra Protective Over Him." "Who'2 'theiir'." "Oh Dear."
