[Backdated to a few days ago, after Equius decided to totally decimate Sollux's room. He's decided he's done taking Equius' and Eridan's endless torment.]

[ She tries. ]

This is probably going to turn into make-outs, isn't it?

[biwinning]

Oh.

[HE DIDN'T SEE THIS COMING.]

Uh. Yeth. It can. If you want it to.

[fintastic]

You think we should at least try to chat a little? Maybe catch up on things?

[ She's already scooting over to try and stake a claim in his lap, though. ]

[biwinning]

Well.

[No. They don't need small talk.]

...Ath you can tell. Having blockmate problemsth. Equiuth wrecked all my furniture. Going to have to buy new shit if I want a dethk again... How about you?

[fintastic]

You can have my desk! I don't use it much.

[ They do too need smalltalk, shh. ]

I've mostly been exploring. Looking for cool stuff. Reading books. I think a lot, too, about you. And me. And us. And all sorts of stuff!

[biwinning]

Are you-

[Pause.]

Shore?

[Okay, and now that that joke is made...]

What kind of thingsth about uth.

[fintastic]

Good one!

[ Oops just going to climb all over Sollux now until she finds a way to be comfy. ]

All sorts of stuff. Like when I showed up, and you were here? I just assumed you would know we were supposed to be matesprits! But the more I think about it, that all happened for me when I went to New Mexico, so then I wonder how it happened for you. Silly things like that.

[biwinning]

Oh. Well... I didn't thee much of you when I wath in the cathtle. I don't know why, the cathtle jutht never picked you to be there. I know we were headed in that direction though, thince the latht thing I remember before the cathtle wath glubbing with you on the horn pile.

[fintastic]

Wow, the horn pile! That seems like it was a really long time ago now.

[ She puts a finger to her lips, her eyes searching the canopy above them as she tries to recall details from over half a sweep ago, and she can't help giggling to remember. ]

It was almost the same for me! It was really obviously going that way, and then there were some shenanigans where you ran around shirtless and I nearly drowned you-- but I saved you!-- and then I got turned into a boy, and that's when I finally got you to kiss me. [ She pauses for a beat, then goes on. ] And to be honest, it didn't really make any more sense at the time. That place was weird.

[biwinning]

Uh.

[Okay, running around shirtless sounds half-like him, so he doesn't totally cross that off. Drowning sounds like something he'd do. Kissing Feferi also sounds like something he'd do boy or not. ...Feferi as a boy actually sounds kind of--

Nope, not going there right now.]

Well, at the cathtle, shit got kind of weird too. It took memoriesth or objectsth ath payment for thtaying there, tho I ... lotht my ability to code. It wath really fucking thtupid. But Equiuth forgot completely about Aradia and the Feferi there couldn't thwim. Tho yeah I underthtand when you thay shit wath whack. Funny how thith place theemsth normal in comparithon.

[fintastic]

Couldn't swim?

[ For a second, Feferi seems absolutely horrified, as if that's the most important thing she takes away from this whole discussion at first. But then her surprise softens back into a calm grin. ]

It really is pretty normal, isn't it? I mean, time travel... psh! Dave and Aradia do that all the time!

[biwinning]

Well, yeah, but that'th their athpect.

[fintastic]

Yeah I know. [ She shrugs. ] I just mean it's not a weird thing to hear about. It's probably better, though, that it's not as crazy here, even if it was fun being a boy or being a human. I would not want to subject you to another seashell bra incident!

[biwinning]

... Theashell bra incident?

[Does he even want to know...]

[fintastic]

Uh. At the same time you were running around shirtless, I got the idea in my head that I should take off my shirt too, and make a top out of seashell stickers!

[ Pasties, Feferi. They'll called pasties and you found them in a showgirl's dressing room in Vegas. ]

[biwinning]

Oh.

[...]

[fintastic]

Yeah.

[ Yep. ]

[biwinning]

...And you jutht ran around like that for no reathon.

[fintastic]

It seemed like a good idea at the time, but I wasn't really acting like me at all, either! I think after that, I told you that everyone had to die? It was so weird.

[biwinning]

Um. Yeah, that'th kind of weird.

[fintastic]

Don't worry, I got better. It never happened again!

[biwinning]

Well that'th good to hear.

[fintastic]

[ Awwwwwwwkward pause... ]

Now's a good time for those makeouts, I think.

[biwinning]

-!

[... Well right on. Sollux grins a little.]

Thoundsth good to me.

[And he places a hand on her side, leaning in...]

[fintastic]

[ Wow what is all this cute hesitation? Even if she thinks it's adorable, that's not enough to stop Feferi from diving right in and going for the gold. Those smooches will be hers. ]
