On your way home, you think about what you're going to say to Sollux.Â
Arguments have always been a complicated thing between the two of you. You're either always in one, calling each other names and shouting, or making up from one, being overly nice, affectionate.
But those arguments were usually over stupid stuff, like who's better at Halo or who should do the dishes that week.
Sex... how do you apologize for sex? Because, really, you don't regret it - from what you remember, it felt really good, and the two of you were completely happy with each other. And it's been a really long time since the two of you had been 100% happy together. But you know that was his first time, too...Â
You recall your first time. It was with a girl, actually. You girlfriend in 10th grade, Terezi Pyrope. She's blind, and you're pretty sure that was the only reason she was able to stand you. You were a fucking mess of a sophomore.
And the two of you did it at school, actually. After school got out, in the band room. It was awkward and messy and you had no fucking clue what you were doing. She broke up with you the day after.
But having sex with Sollux... that was completely different. This is someone you've known for years, someone you've trusted everything to, someone who's seen every bit of you, all your flaws, and has accepted all of that.Â
But that gave you no right to yell at him like you did. So as you approached the front door, mentally scolding yourself, you knocked a few times before bringing out your key.
"Hey, Sollux? I'm coming in, okay?"
You don't wait for him to reply as you unlock the door and go inside.
