[RL with Sollux] [Backdated obviously]

[deathfangirl]

Aradia couldn't remember ever being so happy in her entire life. She pushed away from her laptop and danced around the room, giggling, then dropped to her knees and hugged her confused lusus tight.

"He said yes! He really did!" She let her guardian go, and the lusus nudged her fondly before curling up again to doze, and she sat back on the floor, hugging her knees to her chest. "And he's coming over," she murmured, a little nervous flutter just behind her chest bone.

A moment later, she bounded to her feet and rushed to a mirror. Normally she didn't worry too much about her appearance - that was definitely Kanaya's area - but she changed into a clean dress and brushed her hair, then settled herself as best she could on the front step of her hive to wait, smoothing her skirt and looking eagerly up into the sky.

Comments

Aradia laughed and shifted up, giving Sollux another light peck on the lips before settling down once more. "I second that motion!" Too bad they really couldn't, but they could stay here a while, of course. And visit more.

Just as she was really getting into that daydream of one day moving in with Sollux in a bigger hive where there were rooms that didn't smell like honey and crawl with bees, he spoke up again.

She looked up curiously, wondering why he'd bring that up now of all times. "Yes? What about it?"

"Ith thith... One of thothe viruth thingth everyone was talking about?" His voice was smaller than usual. Sollux's bubble of happiness was slightly burst by the thought that maybe this wasn't real and it was just one of those weird mind-control viruses that everyone complained about.

He didn't mean to, but he clung onto her shoulders a little bit harder.

[deathfangirl]

Aradia blinked at the question, frowning. "Well...I guess I can't be completely sure," she said.

She sat up, though she didn't pull completely out of the circle of his arms, and gave him a gentle smile, cupping his cheek again. "But Sollux, I don't think you need to worry about that. I've wanted to be your matesprit for a really, really long time. And viruses are supposed to be temporary, right?"

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

Sollux smiled back at her, that point actually putting his mind at ease. "Yeah, that'th right." He curled his arms around her a little tighter. "Tho, you're not going to wake up and thap out of it or thomething, right?"

[deathfangirl]

Aradia shook her head, then her own smile faltered a little. "Well...are you?"

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

Sollux was silent for a moment before leaning in to give Aradia a quick kiss on the nose and a smile. "What kind of dumbath do you think I am?"

[deathfangirl]

She grinned, wrinkling her nose a little, and decided that one of the things she loved best about him was his smile. It was so rare that she knew it was genuine.

"Well, what kind of dumbass do you think I am?" she asked him, shifting a little closer and giving him another soft kiss. "To give up someone as sweet and kind and giving as you?"

She knew Sollux could be a little bipolar at times, but she didn't mind, and it didn't change her belief that he was one of the sweetest trolls she knew. He just hid that sweetness sometimes, and that was sort of cute, too, as far as she was concerned.

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

Sollux smiled shyly at her. He didn't know about how true all that was, but for once he didn't want to argue over how he wasn't really all that sweet and kind and giving. He was more than happy to let her think that if she wanted and hopefully he wouldn't disappoint her too badly.

"I think you're the sweet one."

[deathfangirl]

"Just a bit sweeter than you," she teased cheerfully, and tucked her face against his neck, arranging herself so her horns were behind his shoulder and wouldn't dig in. She'd never considered her horns to be annoying, except sometimes when trying to style her hair, but right now they were getting in the way. Suddenly she sort of wished to have cute little horns like Sollux - she bet those didn't get in the way, even if he had twice the usual number.

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

He chuckled, partially from her comment, but mostly because Aradia's mass of hair was tickling his neck a bit. "Maybe tho. I think you're a lot thweeter though," Sollux mumbled back, laying his cheek down on her head, careful to avoid not only her other horn, but also to not accidentally stab her with one of his. They might have been small, but they were definitely also sharp little buggers.

omg he's cured of his lisp

[deathfangirl]

"You just disproved yourself with that comment," she laughed, toying with the collar of his t-shirt with her fingertips.

She knew they were being ridiculously silly, and she couldn't help blushing at the thought of how much someone like, say, Terezi would make fun of them if she saw them right now.

But she didn't care. She could sit here arguing about who was sweeter for the rest of her life and be happy.

Aradia's horns knocked his teeth out :O (fuck it keeps happening)

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

"You're the one that thtarted all this," he said, giggling a bit. He kept his hands mostly to himself other than keeping his arm wrapped around her shoulder, because he figured that picking at her shirt was a bit more lewd than her picking at his.

I warned you about those horns, bro

[deathfangirl]

She snickered, snuggling into the circle of his arm. It was so nice just to touch him in little ways. Warm, and safe and comforting. "I don't care," she declared, grinning. "Even if we are silly."

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

"Thilly, thure... But it'th altho really nithe." He kissed the top of her head lightly, and very briefly considering asking if there was a way to stay like this for the rest of their lives.

[deathfangirl]

"Really nice," Aradia agreed wholeheartedly, giving him a squeeze. "I wish we could just stay like this forever."

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

"Who thayth we can't?" They could probably figure out a way to fly around like this wrapped up together if they wanted. It's probably be pretty easy for them to stay this way. "I vote we try at leatht."

[deathfangirl]

Aradia giggled and cinched herself a little closer, if that were even possible. "I don't know, you might get tired of me eventually. It might be hard for you to type on your husktop with me in your lap all the time."

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

"I'd learn." And he'd be more than happy to learn how to work around an Aradia in his lap. "And I think it'th impothible for me to get tired of you."

[deathfangirl]

"Oh yeah?" She shifted up and hopped into his lap, facing him with her arms wrapped around his neck, right in his face. "You could type like this?"

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

He snickered slightly, wrapping his arms around her waist and putting his fingers in front of him like they were on a keyboard as he perched his chin on her shoulder. "I could definitely get uthed to it," Sollux said, turning his head to give her a kiss on the lips.

[deathfangirl]

She giggled, squirming a little to try to block his 'view' of the imaginary computer. Then his lips were on hers and she sighed with pleasure, returning the kiss with enthusiasm.

Freeing one hand, she extended a finger, drawing a heart on Sollux' chest and then covering it with her palm, smiling against his lips.

[pchooooodumba22.livejournal.com]

He felt that smile against his lips and he couldn't help smiling back. Aradia had that effect on him, it seemed.

Sollux moved one of his hands off the imaginary keyboard and drew a similar heart up on Aradia's neck, before pulling away and nuzzling against her hair, doing his best to make sure his horns didn't catch in her curls. He wanted to say something, tell her how beautiful he thought she was or something equally sappy, but he didn't want to ruin the moment by opening his big fat mouth, so he simply thought it very hard and hoped that maybe she would pick up on it based on how he was looking at her.
