A/N: Okay, seriously... if anyone's there, please comment? I plan on updating this daily, and it's a little lonely. I just really want to expand the Homestuck community here on Wattpad.
Kanaya's PoV
"Problem?" Rose asked softly, gently taking your lipstick from you. You could tell she knew you were panicked, and your ears twitched before you nodded. "I Believe It Would Be Best We Left For Now"
Your eyes flitted back to where Eridan had run to momentarily. If he was here, you had to find him. And fuck, if he was here, and he remembered, who's to say the others weren't. Maybe even Vriska was, you thought with a smile. Terezi would be glad to see her again, whenever she got back. The smile wasn't in the least caused by your own memories of affections for the girl.
Or maybe it was.
You passed the smile off as a goodbye, as Rose brought you both back to your comfortable home. You pressed a kiss to her cheek, careful not to let the lipstick rub off on her. It didn't make your anxiety less obvious.
"Kanaya, you're tense. What's wrong?"
You let Rose settle you down onto the couch. After you had a moment to adjust, you shook your head, ignoring the lump in your throat. He was only six...
"I Saw Somebody I Should Not Have" You raised a hand to rub the side of your head slightly, to rid yourself of the slight headache that had risen. You let your walls fall slightly for her, like you always did. "He Was Meant To Be Dead Rose"
She seemed to tell, like she always could, that you were tripping yourself up on things you shouldn't even feel guilty about anymore. She leaned forward slightly to rub your back and comfort you. It felt as though she was about to hug you, but the mood wasn't quite right. If she was to, you would have to initiate it.
"Would you mind telling me who?" Rose sighed. It was clear that she already had an idea of who it was. You allowed yourself to make it into a hug, placing her free hand around your waist (and taking back your lipstick to captchalogue it) and letting your own hands rest just above her hips. After a moments' silence, you spoke. "It Was"
You took a moment here. Ever since that day, it had been hard to say his name, despite the amount of time that had passed. "Fuck" You made sure you were thinking clearly before you spoke. "It Was Eridan"
Rose hesitated, furrowing one of her eyebrows while she thought. You could tell it wasn't because she was mad at you. You'd memorized her expressions inside and out. She was your flush, your diamond and your spades. She would be your third leaf if she was able, and you would be to her as well.
Finally, she spoke. "I can't outrule it, strange as it is- strange as it seems." She corrected herself. We had been through far too many strange events to catagorize a simple reappearance among them. You paused. Normally, you would ask Sollux for help. But Sollux hadn't been able to since you were both thirteen and you knew that. You didn't even know if he was alive or half alive anymore. The thought wasn't entirely useless, however, as it inspired an idea in you. "How About We Ask Roxy For Help" You offered. "If His Name Remains Unchanged We May Find Him In The Database"
Rose (also known as the love of your life) took a moment, almost surprised at herself for overlooking something so simple. "Of course. We could try." She smiled gently at you, leaning up to press a soft kiss to your lips. You returned it, enjoying it for the moment it lasted before she pulled back, almost forgetting to wipe your green lipstick off her lips (the one you only wore so it would leave a mark). She pulled out her laptop a moment later, pulling back from the hug and leaning against you as she messaged Roxy.
