[This is going to be fun. Dick is already heading over to set himself up. He knows that Sollux is pretty damn talented and the Misakas will probably do most of the work. But that wasn't going to stop him from doing what he can.

Their team was pretty small, and with the amount of work they had to do, anything would be worth it at this time.]

[Sollux feels like he should say something, since he volunteered to be in charge of this and all, but he can't think of anything. All he can feel is his nerves, and how scared he is. Scared he is of failing, if he messes this up, its not a mistake he can fix, one none of them can.]

Don't fuck this up.

[He wasn't any good at inspirational speeches like John was, but hey, at least he knew what was important.]

[He smiles a little at Sollux. Dick didn't need an inspirational speeches or anything. He just knew to do his work alongside everyone else.]

Good luck. We got a lot to do now.

[Dick turned his attention to what he was doing. They'll be at this for awhile, and he was ready to spend whatever amount of time to get this done.]

[Getting back to Sollux has taken Karkat longer than it probably should have. Getting to safety after his mission was more complicated than he expected. It had been a mad dash through a warzone, and he'd more than a few obstacles thrown in his way. He'd been desperate to get away from it all, to get out of the crossfire, by the time he finally found his way down. When he finally sees Sollux at his computer, he's exhausted. It's been a bit over an hour since they spoke last.]

[There's blood on his skin and on his clothes, and while it'd be easy to mistake for his own, not much of it is. He feels dirty, scarred, and horrible as he enters the relative calm of the hacker's set up, and when he sees Sollux all he wants to do is collapse and never leave again.]

Hey.

[He hesitates for a moment as he sees Sollux freaking out, not wanting to alarm him. Sollux has important things to deal with, so he's as gentle as he can be.]

[Sollux doesn't even turn to look at him.]

Shhhh!

[He finishes what he's typing and then spares a quick glance over his shoulder before turning back to the screen.]

What is it? Where the hell have you been?

[He shrugs, a gesture which he immediately recognizes as meaningless on account of Sollux not looking at him. He wanders over to his side, avoiding getting int the way.]

Ran into some shit on the way. You told me to come here, remember?

Whatever!

[He looks overtime him again. He almost thought he'd lose them back there for a second. It's only a second or two before the computer throws up an alert and he has to look back to it again.]

Damn it. Well cool, fine I'm glad you're alive!

[He's got bags under his eyes and he's hitting the keyboard hard enough to break the keys. When he talks, it's muttered sarcastically. Almost under his breath, but not quite.]

Thanks for getting here so soon.

[It hurts having this be the reception, when all he really wanted was to just have someone tell him that it was going to be okay. He understands why, he thinks. He understands how much pressure is on Sollux right now. But with Terezi gone and Gamzee off head hunting or whatever the fuck he was doing, Karkat doesn't have any one to go to.]

[For a second he feels like crying again, because he's trying so fucking hard, and he didn't mean to leave Sollux waiting. But he was basically running scared up there, and now...]

[He doesn't say any of his thoughts. Instead he just asks quietly:]

Can I get you anything?

You can not leave.

[He says indignantly. Don't leave me, never leaver me.]

And maybe give me an hours worth more of fucking sleep.

[he says, raising his voice to an almost shout before finishing with the computer and looking back over to Karkat. For a mibute, in his tiredness and frustration, his own fragility shows through clearly on his face. The worry. The fear. He's quick to hide both under his frustration again, staring at the floor and scowling.]

[Karkat stares back at him for a second, expression oddly vacant and distracted, before shaking his head and moving to sit beside Sollux's chair against the side of the computer station.]

Okay.

[He pulls his knees up to his chest.]

I'll be here.

[he looks to karkat, and he sighs.]

Look, I'm sorry. We just, have to keep these assholes out of the system and. I thought you.

Well I wanted to see you or something.

[Karkat sighs, and mashes a hand into his face.]

I know, I...I fucking wanted to see you too. I'm just trying not to distract you because I know you have shit to do, you fucking saved my life with that shit back there.

God.

[He looks away.]

Don't even say it like that. I can't even think of it like that or I'll. I just.

[god he is way to tired for this. he looks almost like he's on the verge of tears.]

Fuck.

sufferheir February 10 2012, 02:45:18 UTC
Fuck, Sollux...

[He see it when he notices the water in his friend's eyes. He staggers to his feet. He's disorientated and disheveled, but this is happening anyway.]

[He puts his arms around his shoulders and just holds him for a moment.]

Look, it's fine, okay? We're winning.
