"Settle It In Smash!" (Sollux X Reader)

{TW: #swearing #fluff}

~Your POV {2nd person}~
"BOOM!! Another point for me!!" you yelled into your headset, earning a groan from your newly deceased opponent.

"Gog, (y/n), you don't need two yell," the one and only Sollux Captor responded via headset, "Bethideth, you've only gotten eight killth in the patht twenty minuteth. You can't really brag about that."

"Shut up and fight me," you told the mustard-blooded troll, "I'm just getting warmed up!!!"

Since you had gotten the most recent Super Smash Bros game and a new headset for Christmas, you'd pestered your best friend, AKA "moirail," until he'd accepted your challenge and proceeded to kick your ass. There was no denying it, Sollux was the greatest video gamer of this generation, with you being a very close runner-up. This resulted in you constantly trying to beat him at video games. First-person shooters, RPGs, turn-based strategies platformers, brawlers, you name it; Sollux and (y/n) have played it.

"DAMMIT!!" you cried as your player was hit by Sollux's Final Smash. He was playing as Robin, {Because Fire Emblem is an awesome game. Donthatemedontjudgeme} so Chrom joined in and proceeded to beat the shit out of you. Your player then flew offscreen, resulting in the loss of their final life and another win for the troll.

"Not tho cocky now, are ya?" the Lisp King taunted. You did your best to keep your cool, and then formulated an amazing plan. This was a huge risk that was going to take all of your remaining courage, and possibly your dignity, but you decided that now was the perfect time.

"Alright, Sol. One more round, all or nothing. Stock rules, one life, no custom characters, Final Destination. If you win, I'll buy you dinner for a week." At this offer, Sollux sighed and rolled his eyes. You made stupid bets like this all the time, so you assumed that he assumed that this was no different. 'Damn, I'm smart,' you thought.

"Thure. Tho, what happenth in the rare cathe of you beating me, (y/n)?"

Perfect. He'd taken the bait, and now it was time to spring the trap. You were prepared for every known Captor Strategy, so you felt pretty confident in your abilities. It's go time.

"Oh, if I win?" you asked with mock uncertaintity, "Hm... How about... You go on a date with me?" Oh dear gog. You actually went through with it!! You guess you'd held back your true "red" feelings for the hacker troll long enough; it's about time you confessed. Well, that technically wasn't a confession, but you think he got the message.

~Sollux's POV {1st person}~
Wait, what?? A date?? Did my moirail/flush crush, (y/n), ask me out ON A DATE?! I didn't think anyone else except for KK knew that I was flushed for her!! Besides, I would have known if he'd told anyone!!

Yeah, (y/n) was pretty good-looking, by human and troll standards. Her (h/l), (h/c) hair complimented her skin tone perfectly. Those (e/c) orbs Captor-vated me every time I saw her, and I could think of so many things that her sweet lips could do... But that wasn't why I fell for the game-crazed human. (Y/n) had a big heart, and cared for everyone, even if she didn't always show it. Plus, she's pretty damn good at video games, which is TOTALLY HOT!!

"Sol? Did you forget how to talk?"
(y/n)'s voice interrupted my thoughts. 'Alriight, Captor,' I thought, 'Don't fuck thii2 up. Bee cool about iit.'

~Your POV Again {2nd person}~
"Heh, thure I will, (y/n)" Sollux finally answered. Oh my gog oh my gog oH MY GOG OH MY GOG HE SAID YES HOPY SHIT!!!!!!!! Since you were alone in the house, you couldn't resist rolling around on the floor a bit like the little shit you are. {;o) nothing personal} Using every bit of willpower you had, you abstained from squealing in delight, and instead, you started setting up the next - and final - round of Smash.

"Prepare to get rekt, Captor," you playfully teased. After selecting (favorite SSB fighter) and the Final Destination stage, you took a lucky sip of your soda and settled into your "intense gamer stance." You really, REALLY wished Vriska or Rose were there to use their lucky-lighty-shiny powers from the SBURB/SGRUB game. Or something.

To your surprise, Sollux chose "Kickass Japanese Headband" Pikachu as his fighter. 'Weird. Pikachu's not one of his best players,' you thought before "READY? GO!" flashed up on the screen. It's on like a Feroxi Khan.

~~Timeskip Thanks to Aradia's Whip~~

Your dialogues went something like this:

"Ha ha, NOEP!"

"Thit!! Thtay alive, you athth!!"

"WhatwhatwhatnononoDAMN!!!"

"Fuck you, (y/n)!!"

"Heh, I'm still here, beeboy!"

"Yeth!! Wait, wha- THIT!! I thought I killed you!!"

Eventually, however, you miraculously ended up landing the most perfectly timed smash attack of all time, sending Pikachu exploding offscreen, and screaming, "HELL FUCKING YEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!"

"OW!! THIT!! GOG DAMN, (y/n)!! I NEARLY WENT DEAF!!"

You still had your headset on.

Oops.

"Agh! Sorry about that, Sol! I'm just really happy that I won!!" You sighed in admittance.

On the other end, you heard the defeated troll sigh. After a short period of silence, Sollux replied, "It'th cool, whatever. Bee ready by thix PM tonight, okay? I'll thee you thoon," and then turned off his headset, cutting off the connection. Wait, what? He actually plans on going through with this?! Could this mean-?

"HOPY SHIT I GOTTA GET READY HOT DAAAAAAAAMN!!!!!!!!"

~~Timeskip after the date because The Mayor told me to~~

You and Sollux had an AMAZING time together. You ate a decent, semi formal dinner, watched a movie, and dropped by an arcade on the way home. However, your date had insisted on taking you back to his "hive" to hang out some more, even though it was somewhere near 11 PM by the time you two got there. You watched another, slightly older movie on his honey-colored couch while enjoying a nice bowl of extremely buttery popcorn. Unknown to either of you, you both were snuggling with each other; it was late, and you were both pretty tired. You started to feel your eyes droop on their own, signaling to your brain, "BODY NEED SLEEPYTIMES NOW."

~Sollux's POV {1st person}~
I stopped paying attention to the movie once I realized that (y/n) had fallen asleep. She looked so adorable, eyes closed, all snuggled up with me, looking like a total... Aren't they called "angels..?" Yeah. One of those.

Carefully, I pulled her onto my lap and laid ourselves down sideways, making sure not to wake (y/n). I took off my 3D glasses and buried my face in her soft hair before closing my own bi-colored eyes.

"I know we're jutht moirailth now, but... I'm fluthed for you, (y/n), and I have been for a while," I whispered, then kissed her head. "Thleep well."

"Aww, Sol... I'm flushed for you too," I heard (y/n) reply quietly. My eyes shot open, but once I'd fully processed what she said, I grinned and shut them once more, holding my new matesprit closer. I don't plan on letting her go anytime soon.
