i lowk can’t believe i posted this

“The choreography itself is simple.” Solaris began, bringing a gloved hand to straighten his jabot. His shoes, heeled and metal plated, clicked against the wooden backstage floor as he approached Vee.

She was hardly listening, and he could tell. Her eyes focused anywhere but his face— scanning over the bold vermillion fabric of his suit and down to his polished dance shoes. The corner of Vee’s mouth lifted into a side smile.

“Dressing to impress, I see.” She snarked, arms folding across her chest. An excess of care poured into physical appearance was no new habit of Solaris’. Vee could only assume it was an aftereffect of spending so much time around Glisten.

“I couldn’t look like a slob in front of my dearest student, could I?” Quipped Solaris sarcastically, straightening the lapels of his suit jacket, the act carrying a sense of pride. “Though, clearly, only one of us concerns themselves with looking presentable.”

He extended a hand, straightening Vee’s vibrant lime tie with a dissatisfied grimace. As he moved to pull away, she wrapped a cool metal hand around his wrist and pulled, yanking him closer with messy stumbled steps.

Solaris felt his face flare up, his usual bright orange color twinging with red and his sun rays threatening to kindle. Vee’s other hand traced his suit, stopping at his jabot to tug, bringing his near-stunned eyes to hers. “..I— enough.”

Vee grinned as Solaris pulled away from her hold and sharply turned to face his back to her, taking deep breaths in an attempt to calm his fluster and muttering what could only be a curse under his breath.

“Calm, composed, charismatic Solaris? Flustered? This can’t be.” Vee taunted. “Ugh, be quiet..”

With one final deep breath, he turned to face Vee again. “Moving on,” he started, rays twitching ever so slightly. Her actions were burned into his mind, clearly. “..The dance. It shouldn’t be difficult to memorize. Only a few simple steps, really.”

Vee raised a skeptical eyebrow. “Simple?”

“Believe me, I knew it’d be wise to avoid granting you the role of main dancer. All you’ll be doing is a simple back and forth step pattern. Allow me to demonstrate.”

He turned his back to Vee, placing a record in the player and lowering the tonearm. A classical melody gently played, each note hanging in the air as the atmosphere of the theatre shifted.

Solaris raised his arms, raising one above his head, the other extended out by his side. He stepped back, then forth, repeating the action just enough to get the point across. Vee stifled a laugh as she watched.

“A ballet move, I’m assuming.” Though she knew it was through her detection software, confirmation never caused any harm. Solaris lowered his arms, gesturing to Vee with a sweep of his arm. “Now, repeat after me. And at least try to be elegant on your feet.”

Compliantly, Vee raised her arms and rose to the tips of her feet. “No, no, no.” Solaris interjected, tone sharp. “Lower your arms. Don’t reach for the sky like that.”

Vee hardly suppressed an eye roll, adjusting the position of her arms. She stepped forward— “No. Stop that.” She couldn’t hold back an annoyed groan. “Your steps are too wide. Keep them close and short.” He criticized sharply.

“Yes, boss.” Vee responded, voice dripping with sarcasm. She stepped back, then forward, then back. Solaris was silent, but she could tell he was holding back an uncountable amount of complaints.

“You’re slouching. Straighten your posture.” Vee was almost tempted to walk out of the theatre and forefit her role, but with gritted teeth, she persevered.

“Oh, for the love of.. must I do everything myself?”Solaris grumbled, stepping closer to Vee. He placed a hand on her lower back, guiding grace into her steps.

“Just had to step in, didn’t you..” Her crooked antennae twitched. She felt her internal system heat up, a twinge of green blush— if you could call it that— spreading across her screen.

“There. Now you actually look like you know what you’re doing.” He mocked, though his hand lingered, steps unconsciously syncing with Vee’s. “Since when did you know so much about dance, anyway? Your little shows don’t include it much.”

“In her free time, Chalice teaches me. Not moves alone— but the history and language of dance as well. I practice what I learn from her with Glisten.”

Vee hummed. She lowered her practice stance, inching closer to Solaris. “Did she ever teach you the tango?” He furrowed his eyebrows, sun rays twitching. “..Stop that.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be teaching me to dance? C’mon.” Vee grabbed hold of Solaris’ hands, lacing their fingers together and pulling him closer.

“A dance. Not to dance. Choreography is already coded into your system, isn’t it?” He corrected, eyes drifting to the unopened crates of stage props tucked into the corner rather than lingering on Vee.

“That doesn’t mean I can’t practice. Didn’t Chalice teach you to make eye contact while dancing?” She lead his hands to rest on her shoulders, wrapping her arms around his waist.

Slowly, they danced— somewhat. Solaris matched the rhythm of Vee’s steps with hesitance absent during his routine with Glisten, likely complying to avoid her heel crushing his foot.

Dancing with him felt natural. It was something he’d done without much thought. Yet with Vee, the typically effortless dancer had to make a conscious effort not to trip over his own feet— or hers.

“Look at me.”

Solaris kept his eyes trained to the floorboards, focusing more on the sound of their shoes tapping against the wood than her voice. “This is uncomfortably intimate.”

“Then we’re doing it right. Isn’t that what dance is supposed to be?” Her grip tightened on his waist, subtly drawing him closer.

“Between lovers. We are not lovers.” Solaris resisted her pull, the leather of his gloves wrinkling as he dug his fingers into her shoulders, claws threatening to unsheathe.

He wouldn’t make any attempt to hurt her, of course. The reaction was instinctive, a defensive mechanism blossoming from his childhood that he had never managed to tame, much like his unpredictable temperature. “We could be.”

Vee lowered a hand to grab Solaris’ leg, hoisting it to hook just above her hip, forcing him into a dip position. The other went to the back of his head, preventing him from making any effort to pull away as her microphone tail wrapped around his leg.

Solaris was nearly thrown off balance, barely managing to avoid falling backwards. He hardly managed to keep his temperature down, face tinting a vibrant red almost comparable to the fabric of his suit and heartrate speeding.

“I.. you’re being ridiculous, Vee.” Solaris barely managed, making an effort to tug his leg away from her tail. She tightened her grip, bringing his face closer to hers. “Don’t move. You’ll ruin our perfect stance.”

Solaris kept his mouth shut as she leaned closer, eyebrows knitting together. She brushed her lips against his trembling ones, smiling at his effort to keep a straight face.

Their lips tentatively connected in an uncertain, brief kiss. Solaris was quick to pull away, his face burning with embarrassment. Vee grabbed a fistful of his suit, yanking him back towards her for another.

Her lips were cold, the distant taste of metal and ichor lingering on them. Vee held the kiss firmly for a moment longer before pulling away, taking in a sharp breath.

Solaris was quick to rip away from her grasp, dragging a hand down his face, his breath shaky. He didn’t dare try speaking, wanting to avoid embarrassing himself by stuttering and stumbling over his words.

Vee adjusted her tie and smoothened out her blazer, flashing Solaris a confident grin. “I’d say that’s plenty of rehearsal for today. I have a show to prepare for.”

He looked at her through his fingers, eyes narrowed into slits. “..Just go. Leave. See yourself out. We never speak of this again.”

Vee turned toward the curtains concealing the theatre seats and exit, drawing them back and stepping on to the main stage.

Solaris wiped the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, hands clenched at his sides. “Disgusting.”

yippeeeee!!!!

[vindation]

new dw oc, solaris the sun!!! what no i didn’t create him just because i hate blackouts what do you mean hahahahaha

more info below cut!

description: solaris is naturally charismatic and charming, able to convince anyone of anything with a few well placed words. he has a love for theatrics, specifically plays, and episodes featuring him mostly circled around this topic. his favorite actors include: scraps, toodles, flutter, and glisten. however, underneath his charming exterior, he’s very prone to anger and frustration. annoying him doesn’t take much effort, especially if you target a weak spot. whenever he becomes enraged, his orange and yellow body will take on a more red hue, his sun rays will more closely resemble flames, and his body temperature will rise high enough to give anybody that comes into contact second degree burns.

relationships: he balances between rivals and friends with vee. due to them having a similar gimmick, they would always compete over who’s show was better. he and astro get along just enough for a conversation every once in a while, but they don’t have much interaction aside from that. much like everybody else, he often forgets shelly is there unless he asks her to act for him or help prepare/tidy the stage. he and sprout don’t get along much due to their lack of similarities. pebble will often wag his tail whenever he sees solaris and jump on him begging for treats.

fun fact: i’m gonna be testing oc x canon for the first time with him! go my sunflower

small sunscreen thing to prevent sunny (my friend) from going feral while i work on the rehearsal sequel

pairing: sunscreen (obviously) // Solaris (oc) x Vee (canon)

mostly a collection of headcanons like i did with dreamwall(❤️🩵) + a dynamic thing

- They’ve never actually slept in the same bed, but Vee does tend to sneak up on Solaris and cling to him from behind.

- There has been one occasion where Solaris ripped his jabot. He panicked, and Vee offered to let him borrow one of her ties. He declined, claiming the green would clash with his suit. She bleached a tie, dyed it pink, and left it at his door. He wore it at his next show and keeps it in his closet.

- Vee’s choices for nicknames are predictable— ‘Sunshine’, ‘Sunny’, and occasionally his last name. Solaris prefers to stick to names such as ‘dear’ and ‘darling’, both used in a mostly sarcastic manner.

- Both are naturally charismatic and have no issue speaking to other toons. Aside from Dandy.

- Expressing love can feel artificial for Solaris at times. He’s performed and directed more than a handful of romance centered plays, making simple actions— gifting flowers, hand holding, and kissing— feel scripted. Verbally expressing how he feels without the need for a script, however, overshadows that.

- As much as Solaris prefers to hide from how he feels, expecting it to fade if he distances himself enough, he can’t hold out forever. Sooner or later, he’s bound to relent. Vee simply pushes him further and further with actions until he does.

- Self explanatory. View Vee and Poppy’s interaction.

- Solaris was originally designed to be a toon with passion for cooking and baking rather than theatrics. If this idea had made it out of concept, he, Sprout, and Cosmo would’ve been a trio. Vee can cook to the extent of recipes coded into her system, which— counting— is 1,257. 852 are savory, and the other 405 are sweet.

- Despite being used to being watched during intimate moments due to his performances, Solaris prefers to keep romance offstage private. Despite knowing this, everytime Dandy’s elevator shop opens, Vee kisses Solaris right in front of him.

- On the rare occasion Vee does get jealous, it’s typically of Dandy. She would envy Astro as well, but she can’t bring herself to feel anything but care for him.

- Solaris and Dandy were childhood friends, and days before the events of the ichor operation, began dating. That went as well as you could expect. Vee hasn’t exactly dated anyone, but she’s come close.

- Very self explanatory, but when Solaris does attempt to flirt, it’s typically because he wants something and Vee usually flips it onto him.

- Solaris blatantly threatened Boxten on one occasion and shredded the Vee plush in his room. He cried.
