#equertha

Mertha took a knife and started chopping off her hair. She watched as it fell on the bathroom floor. Mertha sighed. Her hair was now a pixie cut, of sorts, but with two long locks that went down to her breast.

It had been a perigee since her and Equius broke up. It was getting close to Matesprit day, and Mertha would have to spend it alone.

Nepeta wasn’t going to stand for that.

Nepeta now had one mission: Get Equius and Mertha to make up, and get back together.

In any other case of a break-up, Nepeta wouldn’t try and make the couple make up. However, in this case, Nepeta could see that Equius and Mertha were meant for each other.

Nepeta quickly went to Equius’ hive.

“:33< equius, you and mertha have to get back together”

Equius wasn’t happy about Nepeta’s idea.

“D--> Nepeta…She lied to me. I am hurt. I c001dn’t possibly forgive her, ever.”

“:33< but--but…you two are meant for one another!” Nepeta made sad kitty eyes.

“D--> No, Nepeta. I’m not getting back with Mertha because of your silly shipping wall”

“:33< fine then” Nepeta wouldn’t even give up. Nope. If she couldn’t get them back together by asking, she would get them together again, with a more drastic measure. Jealousy.

Nepeta wasn’t really sure who to use to make Equius jealous, but then it struck her. Gamzee.

Equius couldn’t stand Gamzee.

So that’s who Nepeta would set Mertha up with.

The plan was flawless.

Nepeta would even have a party just to get everything to work together.

Nepeta gave off a devious laugh.

Stand By Me

Chapter Two

The first perigee of Equius and Mertha’s Matespritship went very fast. Then, the second one hit hard like a rock.

At the beginning of the second perigee, it was all sloppy make-outs and lustful glances. Then things got harder. Because Mertha and Equius spent most of their time together, Mertha had driven Nepeta away. Equius and Nepeta spent time together, but if Nepeta and Mertha were alone together for more than five seconds, Mertha would start obsessing over Equius.

Nepeta would usually back away slowly with an insincere smile.

Then, the conflict begins.

Equius and Mertha were spending time together at her hive, when Mertha got up to get some food. Mertha started cutting some vegetables up, when she accidently cut her hand. Mertha quickly bandaged her hand, but not before Equius was behind her.

“D--> Your b100d is green?” Equius said in an angry tone

Mertha squeaked and turned around.

“Equius, I can explain--” said Mertha

“D--> I don’t want your explanations! I can’t believe you lied to me!” Equius slapped Mertha

Mertha started crying.

“Equius I’m sorry~ I love you~”

“D--> YOU LIED TO ME!” Equius yelled

Mertha curled into a ball crying. How could everything go wrong? She thought Everything was perfect.

Equius stomped out, shaking the foundation of the house in the process.

Mertha cried. She had lost her love, and one of her friends.  Mertha wasn’t even sure if Nepeta was still her friend.

“This is all because of my stupid blood color~” Mertha sobbed

~

Nepeta hadn’t heard from her furrend, Mertha in a while. Yeah, recently all Mertha did was obsess of Equius, but they were still friends.

Nepeta went to Mertha’s hive.

Nepeta knocked.

“:33< mertha? are you okay?” Nepeta knocked again.

Then, Nepeta clawed the door open.

Mertha was in a ball crying in the kitchen.

“:33< mertha! who did this to you?” Nepeta pulled Mertha up. Mertha had a green bruise on her face, and her blue eyeliner was smeared, from tears.

“:33< wait a furrking second, your blood color is the same as mine?!” Nepeta exclaimed, flabbergasted.

Mertha could only manage a weak “mhm”

“:33< that bruise was furrom equius, wasn’t it?”

Mertha nodded and cried. Nepeta hugged her.

“:33< it was furry wrong fur you to lie to equius like that, but it’s also furry wrong fur him to hit you fur lying”

Mertha kept crying.

It was Mertha Midero’s wriggling day and she was spending it with her friends Equius and Nepeta. They were her only friends, and whenever she was around them she had good vibes. To Mertha, there was no better way to spend her wriggling day.

Mertha is flushed for Equius. She’d never tell him, because he has a preference for High-Bloods, which Mertha was not.  However, Equius was not aware of that. Yep, that’s right. Mertha lied about her blood color to Equius. Mertha is an olive-blood, like Nepeta, but Mertha had told Equius she was a blue-blood.

Mertha was pretty sure that Equius might feel the same way, but Mertha wasn’t sure. Mertha had a hard time being casual around Equius, because he was super attractive. Mertha definitely couldn’t look him in the eye for multiple reasons. First, she’d melt, feeling that royal-blue gaze, even through his glasses. Also, Mertha’s eyes were unmistakably olive green. Mertha was a bazillion percent sure Equius wasn’t color-blind.

Usually, if Equius was looking at her, she’d try to look away.

Eventually, Mertha came up with a solution.

Color contacts.

This worked. Equius could never tell the difference.

Now, Mertha didn’t like deceiving Equius, but he wouldn’t have any interest in her otherwise.

Now, back on the subject of Mertha’s wriggling day.

Equius and Nepeta were at Mertha’s hive to celebrate her wriggling day. These were the only two people in the world who gave a care about Mertha. The day went perfectly, and was one of Mertha’s best days. This was the day that Mertha realized how wonderful her life is. Then, when Nepeta was all partied out, and passed out on the couch, Mertha and Equius sat and had a meaningful conversation.

“So…how are things~” Mertha asked Equius

“D--> Things are good. What about you?” Equius replied

“Uhm…I guess things are good with me too!” Mertha added, with a smile

“D--> I have always wondered, why do you always act so weird around me?”

“Uhrmmm….Can I write it down? If I try and say it, it won’t come out of my mouth correctly…”

“D--> If that makes it easier to say, then yes.”

Mertha grabbed a pen and paper and wrote on a sheet of paper.

Equius carefully took the paper and read it.

The paper said:

I love you.

Equius looked at Mertha and smiled. He delicately touched her cheek with his lips.

Mertha started to blush. Then, she kissed him on the lips. Equius wanted to hold her while they kissed, but he couldn’t, on the count of he would crush her.
