Sweet as Honey (Sollux x Gold Blood!reader one shot)

2weet a2 Honey

What had happened? Things were fine for so long, and then this happened. You buried your head in your hands as you sat amidst the ruins of your hive. There was one person responsible for this destruction. One troll who had royally fucked up. Of course, this troll was not royal himself, he was a gold blood like you and his name was Sollux Captor.

Sollux was currently lying unconscious in what would have been the next room over had the walls to your hive not been reduced to rubble. You looked over at him and sighed, he looked so at peace now. Especially compared to his state just moments before.

But what exactly had prompted this mass destruction? Two words, mind honey.

Every gold blood knew this. In fact, almost every troll in some way associated with gold bloods knew this. There was one rule, one fucking rule, you do not under any circumstance eat the MIND HONEY! And what had Sollux gone and done? He'd eaten the mind honey.

It seemed that Sollux was always involved in stuff like this. In fact, word was that he and his friends had been the ones responsible for the destruction and subsequent recreation of the entire universe as they knew it.

They say that he's met humans before. They say he was around when the hemospectrum still ruled Alternian culture. They call him a god.

You prefer to call him your flush crush.

That's right, despite all the bullshit that seems to follow him around, you couldn't help but develop feelings for him. It hadn't taken long either. He'd moved into the neighbourhood one day, you'd gone over to greet your new neighbour. He'd kicked you out after begrudgingly accepting your gift of cookies, you'd bugged him relentlessly until he gave you your plate back.

One thing led to another and boom, a strange vacillation of black and red feelings had developed in your pusher. Of course, to him, the two of you were only friends.

But regardless, you forced yourself to focus on the situation at hand. Why had he eaten the mind honey? Well, as you were waking for him to wake up after knocking him out with mind powers of your own, you'd done some asking around.

Your investigation had by no means been an easy one but after getting a rust blood to translate, you learned from Sollux's lusus that he'd been working non-stop for nearly three days straight. As to be expected, his body eventually couldn't take the exhaustion anymore and he passed out.

Unsure of what to do, Sollux's lusus then proceeded to feed Sollux mind honey in an attempt to wake him up.

When you'd heard that you weren't sure whether to laugh or to cry. It had certainly done the job, maybe a little too well.

You decided you'd spent enough time reviewing past events and stood up to survey the extent of the destruction. You wandered through your broken hive, trying to see this in a positive light. "If I could get Sollux to help me with his psionics, then these walls here could probably be rebuilt in no time," you mused to yourself.

"He owes me for breaking this in the first place," you continued, feeling a little better about the situation.

"[y/n]?" you heard someone mumble your name and turned around to see Sollux slowly sit up, wincing. "Where am II?"

You breathed a sigh of relief and made your way back towards him. "Oh good, you're awake. I was starting to think I'd overdone it."

"What happened?" he asked looking around. "Gog, my head hurt2," you couldn't help but smile at his lisp, it really was quite adorable.

Suddenly, his eyes widened as the mess around him, paired with his headache finally clicked. "Oh 2hiit, diid II do thii2?"

You nodded, "Yup, you flew up to my window, eyes blazing and started wreaking havoc."

The blood drained from his face as he thought about what would have happened if you hadn't knocked him out in time. "You aren't hurt are you?" He said suddenly, turning to face you. He grabbed your hands and pulled you closer.

You blushed and leaned back, pulling away from his grip, "Woah, calm down, I'm fine. I got out of the hive before the worst of it."

He froze then collapsed groaning, "Gog, II'm 2o 2tupiid, II 2houldn't have 2tayed up for 2o long. That'2 what iit wa2, wa2n't iit?" He looked over at you for confirmation, his face the perfect image of regret.

You looked away, feeling your pusher ache and nodded again, "Yeah, turns out your Lusus tried to wake you up by feeding you mind honey."

"Ugh, that iidiiot," he muttered shifting next to you. "He mu2t have thought, oh gog. IIf thiing2 had gone wrong-" he trailed off but you still refused to look back at him.

After a moment, you could hear muffled sobbing coming from him. Surprised, you snuck a sideways glance at him and saw that he was hugging his legs, buried his face in his arms.

Frowning, you reached out and put a hand on his shoulder, "Hey, it's alright Captor, nobody got hurt, everything's fine. So you can stop crying now."

"I'm not-" he started to argue then stopped, "Never mind, you wouldn't get it."

You felt a familiar annoyance flare up inside you. This, this attitude was the cause of your vacillation. "My hive got destroyed and you're the one here wallowing in self-pity? Pull yourself together and prepare for a long couple days of helping me fix this."

Sollux simply shook his head, "IIt'2 not 2elf-piity," he muttered.

"Then what is it?" You demanded, "You're fine now, I'm fine too, what's the fucking problem?" You were yelling now.

"What iif you weren't fiine?" He snapped back, finally meeting your stare. "What iif II had really hurt you? Or wor2e? The la2t tiime II'd vii2iited 2omeone'2 hiive after eatiing miind honey 2he diidn't make iit out! La2t tiime 2omeone made me eat miind honey II kiilled the troll II wa2 flu2hed for! What iif II'd done iit again?"

He stopped, breathing heavily, "There, that'2 my fuckiing 2tory, happy?"

You were stunned, sitting there opening and closing your mouth, searching for something to say. "I'm sorry," you finally managed, "I had no idea, but." You took a deep breath, "When you said again, you don't mean-" you trailed off expectantly.

He froze, then sighed, "II diidn't mean to 2ay that, 2orry, II got caught up iin the moment."

As stupid as it was, you felt your eyes sting at this, of course, he didn't feel the same way about you. How could he, if the stories were true, he'd once shared a quadrant with the Empress herself. You were nothing.

But he wasn't done speaking.

"Or, II gue22 II diid mean two tell you eventually, ju2t not liike thiis." He paused, fidgeting nervously with a shard of glass from off the ground. He swallowed nervously, "II 2uppo2e there'2 no poiint denyiing iit now II gue22."

"Woah, woah, wait." You said putting your hands up, "Are you saying what I think you're saying? Are you even thinking straight? Maybe you haven't worked all the mind honey out of your system yet?"

"II wa2 on miind honey, not 2opor [y/n]," he said rolling his eyes, "Of cour2e II'm thiinkiing 2traiight and the fact iis, II'm flu2hed for you. Have been for a whiile now, not that you'd notiice."

You laughed nervously, "Really? You're actually flushed for me? Sollux Captor is flushed for [f/n] [l/n]?"

He nodded, "Yup."

"Oh. Wow. Oh, wow!" On an impulse, you grabbed him and pulled him in for a kiss. He was surprised at first but quickly kissed back.

After a moment you let go and blushed, "Sorry, umm. Flushed for you too, obviously."

Sollux chuckled, "II'm glad you're okay [y/n]."

"I'm glad I'm okay too," you said grinning stupidly, but then your expression turned serious, "This doesn't mean you're off the hook for helping me fix my hive you know."

Sollux laughed, "Of cour2e not, II wouldn't dream of iit."
