==> Sibling Similarities

((In which Sollux and Kanaya meet for the first time after losing Aradia

@goldnblood

Sollux

Your name is Sollux and by god are you tired. You can feel the burn out catching up to you as you walk to the kitchen, sluggishly dragging your feet as you ponder blankly about whether or not you should just pass out on the floor and leave it at that. You miss Gamzee. You miss Aradia, mostly. You want to do everything you can to make everything fold in the Crew's favor or even sell your soul to get her back. Anything -- anything for your sister. Regardless, you space out at the sink, looking much like a mess -- a terrible, sleepless, restless mess -- staring at the wall where family pictures were hung.

Kanaya

You are Kanaya and you have been withdrawn. You've only really spoken to Karkat and hid away in your room after. Forced out by the need to eat mostly because you know your father wouldn't allow you to help if he found out you were not taking care of yourself, you make your way to the kitchen. Spotting Sollux, your body reacts on it's own pulling back into a nearby doorway. You're not sure why you're trying to hide from everyone. Maybe it's that need to be strong for them and knowing that you can't be....

Sollux

It's a long long while until you snap back into reality. How, was a different conversation. You were washing your mug and staring at the wall when the mug slips from your soapy hands and into the sink -- thankfully it didn't break though. You flinch, sighing and your shoulders slump as you pick up the mug again, choosing to clean it and rinse, unaware of the fact that Kanaya was there, or that tears were on your face until you wipe them away with the back of your hand.(edited)

Kanaya

You debate between going back to your room and going to him. Wavering for a minute or two you finally step out of hiding and walk into the kitchen quietly. Eyes turned towards the floor, you numbly open the pantry and stand before it both lost for words and what to do. Everyone is hurting. One of your loved ones is hurting right here in front of you. Instinct calls you to hold him and yet you can't seem to move anymore.

Sollux

Eventually you finish the stupid fucking mug and you turn around to see Kanaya -- almost dropping your mug again until your psiionics catch it and you hold it securely, sparking a little with how much energy you've bottled up the past week before you sigh. "Kanaya," You greet her as you made your way to the coffee machine.

Kanaya

"Ah.... Sorry..." you say when he nearly drops his mug. You pause for a long moment before greeting him very softly, "Hello Sollux..." You quickly reach for some cereal from the pantry. You don't even like cereal but well... it's food you suppose. "Have... you taken time to eat?" you ask.

Sollux

"No," the answer comes out flat but evidently tired, "Not yet. Not in a while." You shake your head, putting the coffee pot back instead of refilling your mug and you hum, leaning against the counter, "I don't think I want to eat or drink anything."

Kanaya

"Neither do I," you reply blandly. "But our bodies have needs... If we don't take care of them... Then we won't be in a position to be able to right this wrong." You look at him, your eyes distant yet loving though your anger and hatred burn deep within. You make two bowls of cereal and sit down at your own. "When the call comes, if we aren't fit then they'll make us sit out until we are," you tell him as you wave to the seat before the other bowl.

Sollux

The spiel of taking care of yourself hits you again and you're immediately thrown back to the time Deuce grounded you with Aradia as your caretaker. Ha. That was... That wasn't too long ago... ... You shake your head and walk over to sit with her.

Kanaya

You push some milk over to him and pat his shoulder before forcing yourself to eat. You once more are at a loss for what to say and how to comfort. You sigh softly and murmur, "Sorry I haven't... I haven't been here for you..."

Sollux

"Kanaya," you pause, closing your eyes as you sift through what you should say -- no use blowing up about anything when nothing is anyone's fault here, "It's okay. I don't expect you to be there every step of the way, I don't want you to force yourself to conform to what is expected of you. You're you, and you need breaks too."

Kanaya

Tears prick at your eyes. You shovel food into your mouth ignoring how chalky it tastes to you in the moment. At least with your mouth full, all the self destructive thoughts in your mind can't spill from your lips. You're shaking and though it's clear you've been taking care of your body, you are an utter mess inside still. When you were with Karkat you had some peace, but you can't cling to people to find your strength you think. You have to have it on your own.

Sollux

After just a few moments, you turn your head to see her and you let out a soft sigh, pushing the cereal bowl away and taking your glasses off as you pull her into your arms, shifting a little to be closer so neither of you will fall off the chairs.

Kanaya

You stiffen for a moment, then melt into him and wrap your arms around him in return. Hiding your face in his shoulder you try to calm down and to breath. You try not to soak him with tears.

Sollux

You hold her close, unmoving and wordless as you rub her back, eventually moving to pull her close to your chest -- as if a father would hold a child.

Kanaya

"I... I want to be strong for her..." you whisper through hiccups. You want to be strong enough to protect her loved ones, your loved ones.

Sollux

You cup the back of her head, tucking her into you as you nod, "I know, Kan, I know. She'd have wanted you to take time for yourself first, however. No use being strong for her if you aren't okay..."

Kanaya

You know that... You do. You are bad at taking your own advice. "I- I'm t-trying t-to be b-b-better..." you say through tears.

Sollux

You thread your fingers through her hair, brows furrowing as beads of yellow drip down your nose from your eyes, "You can't be better until you've let it out, Kanaya. So I want you to let it all out..."

Kanaya

You let yourself cry again, hiccupping and pulling out a handkerchief so you wouldn't sully his clothes. You hold Sollux tight like how you had let Karkat hold you. Why was Sollux such an anchor for you in so many things?

Sollux

You let yourself cry quietly, simply rocking back and forth to help add soothing movements for her to be able to calm down just a bit more. It'll all turn out okay, you think...

Kanaya

After minutes, you look up at him with tearful eyes. "I-I'm here for you too... I want to be..." you say to your brother. He's always trying to hard and sacrificing so much. You think you're a lot alike. It's strange how you could tell Karkat not to sacrifice himself for others but not Sollux... Perhaps it's because he was older than you.

Sollux

Your eyes meet hers and you close them again, smiling as you let out a soft chuckle, nodding. "I know, Kanaya," you murmur, holding her close and pressing a gentle kiss to the crown of her head, "I know."

Kanaya

You continue to hug him and cry for a some time before slowly settling down a bit. "All the waiting... is hard... And... I want to see her but..." seeing her will mean really truly accepting she isn't coming back.

Sollux

"..." You sigh softly, "... Do you want to see her?"

Kanaya

"I... I don't know..." you say honestly.

Sollux

"Between you and me, I haven't seen her."

Kanaya

"I'm not sure... but I think perhaps only my father and Uncle Slick have seen her..."

Sollux

"I know Jade has," you murmur, pulling away slightly to look at her, "But we don't have to. It's okay if we don't."

Kanaya

You rub you face a little. "It's... Part of me doesn't want to see another person I care about like that... part of me doesn't want to see because then I must accept she's will not ever come back..."

Sollux

You nod, "It's okay." After a while, you're still holding her and you hum softly, "Have you been sleeping well?"

Kanaya

"Not really..." you admit. "I keep dreaming about her... about where I came from before Father took me in... the people I knew..."

Sollux

You frown a little before you decide quietly. You're moving a moment later, standing up with Kanaya in your arms and you start walking, making your way to your room without another word.(edited)

Kanaya

"Ah! What?" you say quite startled. "Sollux the cereal..."

Sollux

"You and I both know you don't like cereal," you tell her, giving her an apologetic smile.

Kanaya

"I... It's still food..." you say. "Where are we going? I can walk there," you half smile.

Sollux

"I'll get you food later," you say, about to use psiionics to open your door before you stop yourself -- you don't want to hurt Kanaya too -- so you kick your door open and you walk inside, leaving it ajar.

Kanaya

"Sollux?" you look at him, not quite sure what he's up to.

Sollux

You place her on your barely used bed. "I'm tired myself," you start, and you crouch beside her, smiling tiredly, "So I thought.. If you wanted someone to sleep next to. Maybe we can both glean some void sleep tonight..."

Kanaya

You're quiet for a moment, then you slowly nod. "Alright.... Thank you, Sollux..."

Sollux

"Between you and me? Jade's right," you chuckle, moving to sit on the edge of your bed and smiling at her, "I feel the burn out catching up on me."

Kanaya

You hug him again gently. "It's understandable... I keep doing the same thing..."

Sollux

You lean into her, "This is a win win, honestly."

Kanaya

"Oh?" you have a feeling you know what he means.

Sollux

"You get to sleep and so do I," you laugh quietly at that, yawning.

Kanaya

You smile and flop over still hugging him. "A very fair deal, I agree."

Sollux

You're on the bed now, and boy, are you feeling the burn out, you slump, "God... Four days, Kanaya... I think that's my best record yet. And by best I mean worst."

Kanaya

"You haven't slept in that long?" you ask softly.

Sollux

"Mm," your voice was becoming more and more quiet, "Probably five... I don't remember."

Kanaya

You can't help it, you start to churr softly. Low and comforting. "Let's end that streak then..."

Sollux

You chuckle, hair basically obscuring your face as you let her take care of you. It was indeed, a win-win situation. "Heh... Yeah."

Kanaya

Very gently, you brush his hair from his face and you say with a smile, "You forgot your glasses...."

Sollux

"Eh. I'll get them later," you close your eyes, "Told you Kan. Win-win."

Kanaya

You rest your forehead on his and close your eyes still churring softly. "Indeed..."

Sollux

You chitter softly in return, sighing as you relax further, "G'night, Kanaya..."

Kanaya

"Rest well, Sollux.... Love you, big brother..." you say. It's been sometime since you've called him big brother.

Sollux

You hum, only murmuring a response of "I love you, too" before you eventually fall asleep.

Kanaya

Slowly you sleep as well, your soft chirr still thrumming in your throat.

“Enjoying the quiet?” you ask. Rose is just as pretty as you remember. You wonder how she’s been in the time she was away and what she’s been up to.

There’s many things you would like to say, but you can never seem to even before she’d gone away. Dratted nerves.

Long time no see, literally

@criminallyfashionable

Sigh…

It’s been a wild ride to adjust back in your normal daily life with Crew and managing your shop. So much has happened and so much that you still don’t know anything about.

First of all, October sounded really messed up. Dave has now a boyfriend who was shot but survived. Security is under construction, because something has definitely happened to give reasons to tighten safety systems. There’s also new members you still haven’t met and need to get familiar at some point. It’s important to know who is at your side and what they do. Speaking of sides, Deuce has kismesis who’s from The Felt. That makes you wonder is that okay or wise at all. Is there gonna be consequences because of that? Also, seems like pool or two are being built? Grey magic is also active, like usually so trickery can happen anytime.

Okay, you need to sit up from your bed and rub your forehead. You are pretty sure that wasn’t everything you try to recall what you have learned and heard.

… Yes, it’s about time to do something else to relax. You can have one evening without trying to study past events or current waves. Over working and thinking won’t do any good. You grab your knitting supplies and head to hideout’s living room because that sofa is just so good for relaxing.

When you arrive, you find it empty. Excellent. You can now definitely get that sofa to yourself. Settling down and shifting until you find the best position to rest your legs on soft cushion, you get your favorite dark red wood knitting needles with small carved skulls on the blunt end. You start with some black and white wool and slowly let your fingers remember again, how it feels to do something like this.

==> Bonds that hold

@croupiergin

[Warning: Self harm mentioned, childhood trauma mentioned]

Kanaya

You arrive and knock softly on Karkat's door. "I've made it back..." you say in a sort of strangely detached voice.

Karkat

The door opens really fast, ad you look like shit. Well. You usually do, but even more so than usual. You give Kanaya as much of a smile as you can manage, which honestly isn't too much. "Cool. Come in."

Kanaya

You don't quite hug him though the urge is there. You gently pat his shoulder before stepping inside saying, "I have a rather heavy thing to confess, and it is partly the reason why I came."

Karkat

"...Alright." He sounds uncertain. But...it's better than earlier information, so.... He steps aside and gives her a sad small smile.

Kanaya

It's hard to admit this. Only your dad has known for such a long time, but you can't be so dependent. You can't place all your troubles on his shoulders. But you need some help at least being accountable, to stay on track. You swallow and speak nervously, "I-I have a self harm problem... I've had it since before I came. Father knows and he's helped me a lot. But in times like this it is tempting to relapse.... So would you take my knives and would it be okay for me to stay till I am.... not having thoughts about it so much?..." You fear his judgement, that he'll see your weakness and be ashamed of you for it.

Karkat

You eyes soften a bit. You nod, and smile a bit. You walk over to your bookshelf and push aside a group of books, revealing a smallish chest. Then you turn back to her. "I have a similar problem, so I keep most of my knives back here. It's a bit of a pain to get open so it helps things be harder to happen."

Kanaya

You are a little surprised, but perhaps you shouldn't be. Things are hard for everyone and it would be ridiculous to assume Karkat is an emotional rock when you yourself cannot be even for actively trying. "Thank you..." you says softly, tears of relief, grief and so many things pricking your eyes. It's actually a relief to know you aren't alone. You all of your blades and even your little sewing repair kit into the box and sigh a little.

Karkat

You lock them all up nicely, and even put the key up at the very top. That way it takes a lot more time, and you'll have more time to think. "Yeah, of course. I know it sucks." You turn and let yourself just be....tired. So Tired.

Kanaya

"Indeed..." you respond, wiping at your eyes. You just sit down on the floor and take his hand. You want to comfort him and you want to break down crying. You remember comforting little ones who lost their siblings, but this was different. Karkat is a grown man. Though the instinct to just hold him and pet his hair is strong all the same.

Karkat

You sit right next to her and lean your head on her shoulder. You need the physical comfort, the assurance that she's still here. That she's alive, too. "I don't know what to fucking do, Kan."

Kanaya

When he rests his head there, you stop fighting your instinct and wrap your arms around him. You hold him close and take comfort yourself in his scent and warmth. Your fingers weave softly over his hair in a repeated soothing motion. "I don't think any of us really know. I'm sure there is a suspect and that plans for revenge are being made... But we'll be learning..." you choke a little but continue, "How to continue living.... I've... Read a few books on grief and loss... There's many suggestions on what to do, but in part each person has to process loss in their own way..."

Karkat

You sniffle. You haven't really taken the time to emote properly because everything happens so much. But Kanaya being here...It helps. She's your only sister left. Fuck. FUCK. YOu sob. Then you're just straight up bawling.

Kanaya

It's horribly familiar... Holding someone as they cry out at the loss of something so important. They'd been your family then. You cried with them then as you cry with Karkat now. You keep rubbing his back so he knows you're there. His sobs shake you reminding you that you're both alive. You think of Aradia and how she loved you both. You close your eyes holding Karkat and letting him cry with you. You don't give him the false reassurances you did to the littlest children you knew, but you tell him what is true through your tears, "I'm here.... I love you... We're not alone..."

Karkat

"I-I love you too. I love you lots. A-And-" You hiccup and can't bring yourself to be caustic this time around. You're just so tired. So much more exhausted than you could think you'd be. Than you ever have been, except when you were little and thought Slick died once. Fuck. "I....Kanaya, I... I'm going to work towards being able to take over the Crew."

Kanaya

Gently, you take his face between your hands and look into his eyes. "Who do you want to do that for?...." you as very seriously. "And is this a decision you're making right now or had thought through before?"

Karkat

You can't look her in the face directly. You lick your lips and say, slowly and carefully. "I...I've thought about it. I...I can't make anyone else do it. Can you even imagine?"

Kanaya

"Karkat... You need to know I support you completely with all my heart..." you say, wiping his cheek with a thumb and resting your brow on his. "You need to do what is going to make you happiest. You have to live for yourself and not just for others... The Crew... Our family is strong and will persevere... But you shouldn't sacrifice yourself for everyone because you feel it's right..." You are a pot calling the kettle black to an extent and you know it. But that doesn't make it less true. "You would be an excellent incredible leader... But I also want you to be happy."

Karkat

You look down, and hold her hand. You feel awful , but. You can't make anyone else do it. They all have their own lives, their own needs. You don't. Not nearly as much as you liked to pretend you did. "I...get what you're saying. ...I don't know if it'll actually happen. But. I should at least try. I want to try." You say this with enough conviction in your voice to almost be convincing to yourself.

Kanaya

"I will support you, but... take it from someone who is guilty of self sacrificing to the point of self destruction..." you squeeze his hand gently. "The people you're putting ahead of yourself will only be truly happy when you are. Suffering in silence only... Only leads to more pain..." You look down now, "I've martyred myself since I was a child and made myself an emotional fucking wreck to the point that only two people in this hideout know I'm not.... I'm not strong...."

Karkat

You smile so sadly at her. It warms your heart to know that she's trusted you with this. God, you love her so fucking much. And she's right. But you can't hold on to the fact that she's right for too long, in your current state. "I think you're strong as steel, Kan. ...And I'll be sure to take care of myself. I promise you."

Kanaya

You hug him close and churr softly. "May I ask one thing?... You can ask something of me if you wish as well..."

Karkat

"Okay. Of course." You churr back quietly. You have a feeling it'll be a bit rarer now.

Kanaya

"Promise you won't commit to a decision yet... Everything is.... It's fucked up and making choices that will alter your life when.... When it all feels like this isn't good...." looking him in the eyes very tired and still so sad but solloumly you swear, "If after we take down who did this or begin to... Process it all that you still feel this way, I will stand beside you thick and thin."

Karkat

"...Alright. I promise. It'll probably be the smart choice, anyhow." You nuzzle against her a bit, and smile sadly. "...And...can you promise not to give up what you love? Not in the short term or anything, I won't blame you for putting things aside, but...Yeah."

Kanaya

"I promise..." you say petting his hair softly again. You smile, a little chagrined. "You have permission to call bullshit on me if I go into self sacrificing overdrive mode..."

Karkat

You grin and pet her cheek. "Likewise. We'll keep each other in check."

Kanaya

You nod and hug him close. "I... I'm going to cry again...." you warn him. Talking is helping, but it's like a wave ebbing and flowing as it hits you over again that she's gone... She's not here to tell you how proud she is of you both... But you believe she would be.

Karkat

"Don't worry, you won't be alone in that." You assure her and squeeze her in a hug. You feel a bit more comfortable with her here. It's weird. But...You love her so much. You're gonna fuckin' kill for your family.

Kanaya

This time you smile a wobbly smile and cry on his shoulder. You love him. You love your family even if you're still afraid to let them see you at your weakest. You would die for them if you had to.

Karkat

"...Hey, you wanna stick around here tonight? I've got plenty of room, and we can just...relax a bit. Spend some time breathing."

Kanaya

"I'd like that a lot...." you murmur. You'll have to thank him so much later. You are beyond grateful to not be alone right now.

Karkat

You smile sadly at her and immediately flop back onto the bed. You are...exhausted, emotionally and mentally. You just need to rest a bit.

Kanaya

You just sit beside the bed and hold his hand. Resting your head against the mattress, you stay that way.

==> Do One Smart Thing

[Warnings: Death mentioned, childhood trauma implied]

@croupiergin

Kanaya

You are Kanaya Maryam Spektor. You're not handling anything well at all. It's been some unknown span of hours since you got the news. You steal a phone, the 2nd phone you've stolen since October. You enter a number in and start texting.

JJ: Karkat This Is Kanaya JJ: I JJ: I Do Not Even Know JJ: Please Be Alive

Karkat

CG: I'm here. CG: I'm. Okay I guess. CG: .....Break your phone?

Kanaya

JJ: Yes JJ: Thank You

JJ: I Am Not Sure What I Am Going To Do

Karkat

CG: ...I don't know either. Dad wants to go and talk to me after a bit. CG: ... CG: I mean, I know what I'm going to do eventually. But right now...

Kanaya

JJ: I Am Not Sure About Anything JJ: It All Feels Like Nothing Anyone Does Matters

Karkat

CG: Yeah, it does. CG: I'm pretty sure that's shock and grief, though. CG: But...Wel..

CG: I have to keep my determination because we have to get revenge. CG: I'll flip the fuck out later, maybe. CG: And. We'll need you too, Kanaya.

Kanaya

JJ: This Is Not The First Death I Have Known JJ: I Never Told You About Where I Came From JJ: I Do Not Know If My Father Or Yours Ever Told You JJ: Death Was Very Common To Me Before Meeting All Of You JJ: I Want Revenge JJ: And Yet It Feels Futile JJ: Even If We Make The Scum Who Did This Suffer Aradia Will Still Be Dead JJ: There Will Be No Peace JJ: There Will Not Be Anything But A Moment Of Satisfaction JJ: Then What Happens When That Moment Is Gone?

Karkat

CG: I don't know. But...I do know that I don't want Aradia's death to go by unchallenged. Unacknowledged. CG: I...Couldn't let that happen to any of you. CG: It would be wrong.

CG: And maybe that's dumb to think but fuck! I need something. If I focus on this I won't have to think about the affter, you know?

Kanaya

JJ: I Suppose JJ: That Is A Fair Way To Deal With It JJ: But It Is Not Enough For Me JJ: I Am Sorry JJ: Would It Be Better For You If I Give You Space JJ: I Do Not Wish To Make You Hurt Greater

Karkat

CG: No, I'm glad you're talking with me. Knowing you're okay is helpful. CG: We all are gonna deal with this in our own way, so I'm not gonna go around and blame you or anything. CG: ... CG: And. I'll be happy when you're home. Because if you're stealing phones with an unfamiliar handle...Probably not in the hideout, huh.

Kanaya

JJ: You Are Too Smart JJ: Yes I Am Out JJ: I Am Just Walking JJ: Do Not Think I Can Face Anyone Right Now JJ: There Is Nothing I Could Do But I Feel At Fault In Part Somehow JJ: When Father Rescued Me I Swore To Myself To Protect All That Mattered To Him JJ: I Swore To Protect My Family But I Am Failing Again And Again JJ: Fuck

Karkat

CG: Hey. CG: It's not your fault. It's not any of our faults. CG: And I won't tell anyone where you are/that you're out and about or anything. CG: Listen, Kan, Just be....

CG: Careful. Okay? I won't get on your case for feelings or anything but I don't want you to get fucked up.

Kanaya

JJ: You Are Too Good Karkat JJ: You Are Too Kind To Me JJ: You Have All Been So Kind All These Years JJ: I Do Not Know What He Saw In Me Then JJ: I Am Not Willfully Putting Myself In Danger I Promise JJ: But This City Does Not Care JJ: It Does Not Care If You Are Strong Or Weak Protected Or Alone JJ: I Know I Should Come Home JJ: But I Am Scared To See Everyone JJ: I Am Scared How My Father Will Look

JJ: I Am Scared He Is Never Going To Be My Father Again JJ: Because I Know What Loss Does

Karkat

CG: No, I get it. CG:I'm hiding in my room for pretty close to that reason. CG: ...I'm not sure what's going to happen to all of us. But we'll still be your family, no matter what.

Kanaya

JJ: I Love You Karkat JJ: Oh Ha Ha JJ: In My Daze I Seem To Have Walked To My Shop JJ: Part Of Me Wants To Burn It Down JJ: As If That Would Do Any Good

Karkat

CG: Probably don't do that. CG: Maybe take a break in there? Stress sew? Is that a thing??

Kanaya

JJ: I Do Not Feel That Is A Wise Idea Currently JJ: May I Ask A Favor?

Karkat

CG: Of course.

Kanaya

JJ: After You Talk To Uncle Slick Will You Let Me Stay With You JJ: I Trust Myself Less And Less As Time Passes In Truth

Karkat

CG: For sure.

CG: Just let me know when.

Kanaya

JJ: You Really Are Too Good Karkat JJ: I Am Grateful For You JJ: I Will Turn Back Now JJ: Not Sure How Long It Will Take Me To Get Back JJ: It Should Be Something Like Fifteen Minutes

Karkat

CG: Okay. I'll be awake, don't worry.

CG: I love you Kanaya

Kanaya

JJ: I Love You As Well Karkat JJ: If Anyone Asks Can You Just Say I Was Out And Broke My Phone But Am On My Way Back JJ: I Do Not Want To Cause Excess Worry

Karkat

CG: Will do. Be safe.

Kanaya

JJ: I Will Do My Best

==> This city

> You broke your phone as you were leaving. The shards of it lay on the floor of your room

> You go out into the city. The city that eats so many people.... You thought after all this time... you had finally started to believe it wouldn’t eat everyone you loved so long as the Crew was around.

> But the city taught you a lesson didn’t it? You’d forgotten the most important lesson.

> This city takes anyone, anytime, with no reason and no care for anyone or the protection anyone tried to mount against it.

> It took the little ones back in the sweatshop, kids you tried to protect. And it took Aradia, daughter of Diamonds Droog the 2nd in command of the Midnight Crew.

> You never should have forgotten the lesson.

> This city takes anything, everything and it always will.

> You walk through the city not caring where you go. If anyone tries to talk to you, you ignore them. If anyone tries to touch you, they get a knife to their throat and a hissed warning to leave you be.

mistletoe dealer's choice

Kanaya’s gonna come hang in your bakery for a bit and it’ll be an ok time, she comes in through the front door into the bakery and it’s fine for about half a second.

Because then you notice the mistletoe you’d thought you’d gotten rid of ages before has somehow appeared back up there again and really? Motherfuckin really motherfucker?

Your eyes roll and the two of you just kinda stare at each other a bit. She doesn’t really look ready to indulge with this tradition bullshit any more than you are right now and you know what? That’s all kinds of motherfuckin ok.

You wave her further into the bakery, away from the store front so she can get herself settled to work on her own Christmas orders.

You have being keeping to yourself of late, partly by choice and partly due to Christmas orders. After things with Eridan were finally brought out into the open and you finally understand why he’s angry with you, he told you what he wanted was for you to continue as nothing had happened. So you are attempting to do that.

Walking back into the hideout feels strange after several days away. You walk the halls quietly when something in the living room catches your eye as you pass by. You turn to look and see... Rose...

You look at her, thinking about how she’s been gone for three years and about how you’ve barely greeted her. You wonder if that’s bothered her or not. After hesitating for a minute or two, you walk into the living room and sit a small distance away from her on another chair. “Hello, Rose. It’s good to see you,” you say softly.

Long time no see, literally

@criminallyfashionable

Sigh…

It’s been a wild ride to adjust back in your normal daily life with Crew and managing your shop. So much has happened and so much that you still don’t know anything about.

Okay, you need to sit up from your bed and rub your forehead. You are pretty sure that wasn’t everything you try to recall what you have learned and heard.
