gotcha. under2tood.

​do you think whoever did it was just like, a normal guy? you know, someone you could just talk to and, like, play video games with? ones that don't kill you, that is.

I Love Sollux

I Still Do

Not Like That Anymore But I Would Fight To The Death Without Question Or Hesitation If It Meant Protecting The Peace He Has Built For Himself

He Has Suffered So Much And Worked So Hard And Grown So Much And I Am So Stupidly Proud Of Him For Everything He Has Accomplished Since We Met

It Is Funny To Think How Much Of A Liability We Would Be To One Another If We Still Lived On Alternia

To Have Someone Who Has Known You So Long And So Consistently Is As Freeing As It Is Terrifying

It Is Very Stupid But I Am Excited That He Will Get To See Me Get Married

It Is Not As If That Was Ever A Goal Of Mine Or Anything But I Have Been Such A Beacon Of Misery For So Long And I Have Been So Long Present In His Life

I Hope It Is Not Conceited To Hope That It Will Relieve Him A Bit To See Me Happy For Once Without Relying So Heavily On Him

You've made your way to Ghouston again, to check in with Dirk about your hand, to see just how far along he is in rebuilding it. He says he wants to look at the old wiring again-- and it is old.

He works carefully, with surgical precision, eyes focused on the skeleton Kareem built ages ago, sending small volts through the wiring to test your reflexes (they're shit, you've discovered), watching as electricity reacts with the magic that Cyther Kaiser had written into your skin. Frustrating, but fascinating. It wasn't going to be a clean build, but the more Dirk learned, the better his prosthetics would be.

At least, that is how both of you consoled yourself.

"We should get some… I don't know, a warlock? To scrub your arm of spells."

"Oh, Cyther Kaiser would be devastated if he learned his Uncle Dirk was upset at his handiwork." You smirk, and he sends another pulse through your arm, almost in retaliation.

"Yeah, well, I can be 'The Dirk formerly known as Uncle' if he gets pissed. He can get over it and readopt me later, if he feels up to it. Your kids have more uncles than just me, don't they?"

"They used to have many. Rufioh and Theodore and Saturn and Phylus and so many more… But now, it's just you, and Sollux."

"Sollux. Which one?"

You smile warmly, and he looks up at your face for a moment, waiting for an answer. "Ghosty. But you know, with a two instead of an 's'."

"Par for the course for those guys." He smirks, and you follow suit.

"It is rather interesting what holds across timelines, across lifetimes…" A gentle musing, and there is silence from Dirk as he pokes further into your forearm, but you know he's able to be attentive to both his task and you. "He is Sollux, like so many of his alternates, but so very one of a kind. He's kept his quirk, and wrigglerish humour-- at least with me, but he's grown so much since I saw him. He kept a place for our friendship, too. I am grateful he brought that along with him."

"You think he would've left it behind?"

"I think… I wouldn't fault him for it if he had. Considering I left everything behind."

A small pause between the two of you as you press your own lips together tightly, and he delivers another zap to the wires. "Not everything. You brought love with you, there and back."

"I can't imagine a life where I do not love him. He is one of my best friends, one of the oldest, one of the ones I fought to keep close for sweeps. I told him I had his portrait painted early on, so I wouldn't forget his face. I never forgot our jokes, how easy being with him was, how fun it always was… He's different from when I knew him well, though. I suppose, so am I."

"Addie…" The soldering iron is placed down for a moment, and he makes sure orange meets teal, that your eyes are locked together. "That's a good thing. You grew up, apart, and then back together. He wants that, even if you think you shouldn't have that. He's a good friend. And so are you."

You hold his gaze for a little, and you know he can feel your heartbeat, a quickened pace for a moment, then a slower count once he's said his piece. Your good hand reaches for him, squeezing at his wrist, and he smiles softly with you, then rolls his eyes.

"He can be a good friend all he wants, though. I'm the better one, and I'm the best uncle, too."

"Try telling that to him when he fully lifts you above his head to toss you like a ragdoll."

"Oh shit? He can do that?"

​i was also kind of obsessed with, like fictional parents? that's not quite right though. it's more like, i wanted to be a parent. but in the way a little kid plays house. it never connected with how the world is supposed to work.

i wish i knew if i still had some of that kind of energy left in me, tbh...
