Karkat closed his husktop and sighed, rubbing his temples. "And I thought he was the smart one," he muttered.
A few minutes later, he stood at the door to the top floor condo. The door opened a crack, and red and blue flashing eyes appeared. Suddenly it flung open and he was tackled backwards, nearly avoiding falling down the stairs. "Way to nearly kill me!" Karkat yelled at the troll on top of him. Sollux gave a (rather creepy) smile and sat up.
"Hi kk~" he slurred slightly. Karkat pulled himself out from under the other troll and stood up, brushing himself off.
"The sooner this is over, Captor, the better. Now get your ass inside before someone sees you like this."
"Okay!" And so the two walked inside the small hive, Karkat hunched over and already tired of this, Sollux stumbling, looking around and smiling at all the colors.
"Now look. You need to focus. If anyone catches you high you could end up in a whole load of shit, and I'll get in trouble too. Any kind of trouble for me will end badly."
"But the colors are so pretty! You should check them out too! I saved you a cupcake~" Sollux held up a bright red cupcake dripping with green slime. Karkat batted it away.
"I am not eating that shit, and neither are you," he snagged the cupcake and headed for the waste removal bin. Suddenly he was jumped from behind. Sollux took back the cupcake.
"No wasting good food!" he reprimanded. Karkat growled and shoved the other troll off him.
"Stop jumping me, idiot!" he reached for the cupcake, but Sollux ran with it. Crashing on to the couch, he was about to take a bite when Karkat tried to swipe it. Dodging, he rolled around the couch while Karkat made several failed attempts at confiscating the poisonous item. Some how, it ended up with them, one on top of the other, and cupcake dangling off the side of the seat. Just then, there was a knock at the door, and both trolls froze. Someone that Karkat recalled to be the troll who lived a floor below walked in.
"Sollux, you okay dude? I heard a lot of noi- oh..." he stared at the two, then looked at the sopor dripping cupcake, then at Sollux's yellow face.
"Everything's perfect~" Sollux answered. Karkat stuffed his double horned head into the cushions, grabbed the cupcake, and slammed the door in the other troll's face. Sollux removed his face and smiled happily at his friend, whose back was still turned. "You gonna eat it now?"
Karkat turned to face him, face bright red and steaming. "Do you know how much trouble we are in right now because of this f*cking shit?!!" he yelled. "We could be culled the moment he tells!" He stormed to the window and chucked the not-so-appetizing desert as hard as he could before slamming it shut again. Sollux stared silently. "Okay, here's the plan. You are coming with me to my hive. That guy obviously knows you, but he doesn't know me. We should be safe there." Sollux's attention drifted as he was being spoken to. "Sollux? Focus, dipshit!"
"Sure kk~" he replied. Karkat grabbed him off the couch and nearly flung him out the door.
Why was he the one who had to get caught up in this?
