Who: Sollux and Karkat What: Just some stupid touchy feely crap. Where: Somewhere outside the school When: SUNDAY Rating: PG?? Warnings: Language, Trolls
Karkat poked his head out of one of the nearby school window, eyes wide with surprise.
"Oh shit, hey, you're here!"
Then he slammed the window shut and disappeared into the school again, reappearing at the entrance way a short time later. He looked a bit nervous and out of sorts, but mostly he just looked glad to see Sollux again.
He turned to face him, a little startled as he shouted to him from the window. He was surprised at how, relieved, he felt to see him. Of course it was extremely unlikely that something would have happened in the little more than a half hour they were apart, but still. He gave Karkat a small smile as he appeared suddenly at the door, but it wasn't really a happy expression. It was buried under all the other shit that was still bothering him about what he'd learned this afternoon. Really it just mad him look even more upset.
He stood up and turned to walk towards Karkat. "Just. Thinking too much."
"Kind of. Just." and then he was throwing his arms around him, not even remembering to be mindful of this whole "touching him" thing, totally sinking into him.
As usual, he froze with a sudden sting of anxiety, though by now he was getting a little bit better and forcing those feelings down. He didn't respond to the hug much at first, but he didn't try to push him away.
"For doing what?" And he sounded genuinely surprised, but then it occurred to him. Had Sollux somehow talked to other him too? "What are you talking about? Is this from one of our doubles?"
Sollux is far from stunned by this news. At this point he's kind of too tired from dealing with his own emotions and all this fourth wall bullshit to really get very worked up about the possibility anymore. He shrugs.
"Yeah, maybe. Is your's matesprits with me too?"
Apparently his weariness transfers to no longer caring about a version of him wanting to mack on Karkat.
"Like shit wasn't already weird, Sollux. I don't think it can really make it that much weirder." He looked up at him, brow furrowed with uncertainty. "I mean, it's not like we even...could..." He trailed off, started to look extra embarassed.
"No I know, but I mean. KK..", he looks up at him. "I know shit was weird, but it was weird in a way. I don't know. I just. Don't want us to have to. Act different or anything because." and then he blushes. "In some other universe we're fucking."
He just fucking blanched at that assertion for a moment before making an frustrated sound and throwing up his hands. Because this wasn't as clear as it should have been, and it was becoming increasingly exasperating that it never was.
"It's not like that fucking matters! Why would we have to act any differently? It's not like we aren't already super strange about things all the time, how would the quadrants really even change things at this point!"
He looks kind of hurt by that response for a second, before he looks away. He can't even understand what it is Karkat was getting so upset about.
"Do you really think we're that strange?"
Maybe they were close. Closer than most trolls who didn't share a quadrant, but why did that have to be such a bad thing. Sollux wouldn't even know what to do if he lost Karkat again. The thought that his relationship was just a bother to the other troll. It hurt. He didn't want to think that. Didn't want to think that's what he had meant.
"Oh shit, hey, you're here!"
Then he slammed the window shut and disappeared into the school again, reappearing at the entrance way a short time later. He looked a bit nervous and out of sorts, but mostly he just looked glad to see Sollux again.
"What's up?"

"Thanks." he mutters, voice muffled.

"Uh. For what?" he said a little awkwardly.

He pauses thinking, and then when he talks it's more quietly.
"I guess sometimes I just. Forget."

"Yeah, uh. An older me. He started talking about stuff and I guess I just."
Got overly emotional and had to find and had to find and cuddle with you immediately. You know, normal things that bros do.

"And older you?" His eyebrows raise. "Fuck, I just saw an older me. Maybe." He paused there, a bit unsure. "...Maybe they're from the same place?"
The same place where they were matesprits, he guessed.

"...Yeah, he is." He shrugged a bit helplessly, looking kind of lost. He stared at the ground.

"Is this. Is this going to make things weird for us?"

"Whatever."
