"Just shut up and help me already!" the voice of Sollux's best friend sounded scratchily through his headset.

"Calm down, jethuth, I kinda have my own shitthrorm going on over here," the heterochromic countered, fighting off some zombies in Black Ops while Karkat was fixing a barricade on the other side of the room.

"Aww, are you two fighting again?" a third voice cackled.

"I believe the term is a 'lover's quarrel'," Dave replied.

"Will you two please just shut your protein chutes and play the fucking game? We're just friends, and you know that." Sollux didn't want to believe it, but the statement hurt him a little. He usually shrugged his red feelings for his moirail off, but they kept coming back. He shook his head lightly and returned to the game, using his psionic powers to raise a can of Rockstar to his lips.

"TZ, I think we're good for now, go open the door." Sollux ordered, turning away from the barricade he finished rebuilding. The four of them continued playing round after round until Dave announced that he had to leave to go get his cuddle on with John and left.

Sollux stood up from his couch and stretched, popping his back and relieving it from the tenseness of sitting slumped over for three hours. He waltzed over to his kitchen and opened the fridge, a plethora of milk masquerading a plethora of faygo and yet another plethora of honey. That was basically all that was in this house. Sollux fished around and found a small package of strawberries and decided that Strawberries and Honey would be the closest thing to a dinner that he was going to have that night.

He retreated to his room and sat at his impressive desktop, rubbing his eyes beneath his glasses and opened some coding stuff that he'd been working on, and was almost finished with. The icon on Trollian was flashing and he opened it, seeing that Terezi had pestered him.

Sollux sighed and put one of the sticky strawberries into his mouth and continued coding, his fingers tapping flawlessly on the keys. After about three hours, he saved what he had done and powered down his system and climbed into his bed. He drifted off after another ten minutes or so and slipped into sleep.

Sollux groggily awoke and slumped his way into the living room where his roommates Nepeta and Gamzee were eating waffles and watching Tom and Jerry. Nepeta perked up at the sight of the troll and smiled.

"Oh hey, Pawlux!There's some waffles in the kitchen if you're impurrested!" the leo cheered and went back to listening to Gamzee talk about how motherfucking sad it was that Tom and Jerry couldn't just be bros instead of trying to outsmart each other. Sollux tread over to the counter and ggrabed himself a plate of lukewarm waffles and sat with Nepeta and Gamzee after drenching them in honey. He picked lazily at the food and listened to the two of them converse, occasionally chipping in.

After he finished his breakfast, he headed to the bathroom to take a shower. He scrubbed his black hair thoroughly, his grey skin receiving the same treatment. He stepped out of the shower and grabbed a towel, drying himself off. The psionic looked at himself in the mirror, almost disgusted. The sides of his hair always stuck up, no matter how he cut them or how many times he took a shower. His heterochromic eyes reminded him of how much a freak he was. The dark circled under his eyes said that he needed way more sleep. Last night was one of the few nights that he slept for over an hour and a half at a time. He could count his ribs and every aspect of his body was just bony. Without Nepeta and Gamzee being there and making him take care of himself, he'd probably be dead, or damn near close to it.

"God, I hate every thingle fucking thing about me." He scolded himself, his lisp aggravating him more than usual. Sometimes he wished he was human. Humans don't normally have these problems, and they definitely don't have god-damn voices. Or do they? He made a mental note to ask Dave later.

Sollux sighed and dried off his hair. Thinking about the voices just made them louder. He wrapped the towel around his waist and made way for his room. After he was fully clothed, he plopped himself down at his desktop and opened pesterchum to an angry Karkat.

Sollux sighed yet again and put on his 3-d glasses. He logged into Steam to see that he was invited to play a game with SquishyCrab. He plugged in his headset and his ACCEPT, ready to play whatever game he was invited too.

Him and Karkat went about their bantering for several hours after that.

"Hey, I'm coming over," Karkat stated scratchily over the receiver.

"Thayth who?" the Gemini inquired, rather taken aback.

"Thayth me, fuckass," Karkat countered. Ok then. It wasn't like it was the first time Karkat had invited himself over.

"Alright, fine. Thee you in…"

"Twenty minutes."

"Thee you in twenty minuteth."
