"Eridan did. He says you have some weird bees and they make you all kinds of fucked up if you eat the honey."

"Shit bro, maybe I am, because I have no idea of what you're talking about." He struggled not to smirk

"Depends which kind of honey. Normals beeth, nuh. Mind honey? Fuck that shit. I'm telling you thtraight up now, warning without any malithiouth intent or whatever. If anyone offers you mind honey, or Vrithka offerth you honey at all, leg it. Mind honey killth people." He frowns a little.

"Humanth are tho dumb. What doeth anyone even thee in you, me included. Fuck what doeth Karkat thee in you. I'm not even going to bother with Eridan becauthe hith head ith fucked up enough I don't even need to wonder. He'th probably only clinging to you becauthe you showed him a lick of attention."

2016-03-24 12:14:01

●

"Why? What even is mind honey? And holy shit who's the person that would offer you the thing that kills people?" So many questions.

"Wait who? Shouty mcNubby horns? What about that guy." He rose a brow

"Vrithka. Vrithka ith that perthon." He shrugged, still floating along. "Mind honey ith good for my computerth and running the mainframeth, and in very very tiny dotheth it'th good for boothting pthionic thtrength."

"Karkleth ith interethted in your dumb human dick. He wath altho interethted in your glatheth friend, but dethided, fuck no too dorky, even for him. I'm like ten perthent thure he wantth in your red, becauthe your black ith mine." He smirked, putting his phone away for now. "He'th probably a better choithe than Eridan."

"Well that's fucking weird, because I've done nothing to him but tell him to piss off and piss him off." He was a little weirded out. "Whatever, I guess its just the Strider charm working in its mysterious ways."

2016-03-24 12:24:42

🌀

"Karkat's weird like that. He probably had a hate wriggly for you, but then decided he preferred you without bite markth." He shrugged again, "he'th utheleth in quadrantth. Though at leatht he knowth what to actually do with them, unlike thome people."

2016-03-24 12:25:49

●

He just processed the information that he liked another one of his friends. "Wait wait, back it up, Jade or John? Actually, don't answer than. Let's agree to drop the topic all together." He made a face

2016-03-24 12:28:28

🌀

"You have more than one friend with glatheth? I dunno, the one who nerdth out over dumb shit." He thought about it for a bit. "Y'know I think he hath been talking to thome blue and green text lately, tho probably both." He snickered, amused.

2016-03-24 12:44:07

●

"That could be literally anyone. And... oh God, not both of them." He rubs a hand over his face. "Trolls are fucking weird, oh my god..."

2016-03-24 12:46:51

🌀

"He'th obviouthly moved on from them to you. Perthonally he'th probably better off in your red quadrant. The look on Ampora'th fathe would be worth it alone." He snickered, both at Dave's reaction and the idea of Eridan being duped for a mutant.

2016-03-24 12:54:30

●

Dave jabbed him in the ribs without a second thought, and kept walking like nothing happened. "He's going to keep admiring me from afar, that's the best he's going to get."

2016-03-24 13:01:33

🌀

Sollux flicked him on the ear in return. "You can't deny that Karkat'th got more going for him than Ampora doeth. At leatht he'th got character." He snickered, though more at the memory of Karkat literally steaming at the ears.

2016-03-24 13:14:44

●

"Eridan is handsome and he does have character. If you're going to keep jabbing at Eridan ill probably lock you out of my place and you can go back to your fish whore."

2016-03-24 13:20:50

🌀

"She'th not the whore here." His expression soured athim. "What, weren't you aware of the fucking hilarious story of Eridan the.ling himthelf for a bit of attention?"

2016-03-24 21:05:52

●

"What, are you expecting me to judge a lonely teenager whose friends ignored him completely? He might even have been a dick, but I'm not holding receipts on him. And hes not the one keeping an old friend from having a life." He said calmly, shrugging.

2016-03-24 21:37:13

🌀

"You theem the type to be offended when you find out you're dating a thlut." He said right back, inspecting his claws. "And I'm not the one keeping him from having a life. I'm thimply making thure he doethn't fuck it up for everyone. Kanaya'th the one who inthithted we should have killed him back when he fucked up the firtht time."

2016-03-24 22:05:34

●

"Good thing I'm not then, huh?" He shoved his hands in his pockets, looking ahead. "You are keeping him from doing what he wants. From being free. Well as far as free goes for us anyway. You know, you're like that annoying little brother that tells on their siblings every time they try to do something mommy doesn't let them. Oh no, mommy, Eridan tried to buy an aquarium because he has money and has fish! I'm jealous of him, stop it!" He rolls his eyes.

2016-03-24 22:33:36

🌀

"He literally tried to buy friendshipth. He wath my friend too before he wath my black, and even then he wath alwayth buying thingth to enthure he wouldn't be left alone. He'th pulled the 'nithe guy' act before and ithn't ashamed of it. What doeth that thay to you?" He moved to be floating in front of him, arms crossed over his chest.

2016-03-24 23:07:36

●

"Maybe because he was always being left alone. How surprising that you're scared of things that have happened to you before." He sighs again. "It only says that the guy was desperate to have a friendship and didn't know how to go about it. Now, what does it say to you that you don't even want him have quadrants? Or a life? Sounds unhuman huh. Uncanny."

2016-03-24 23:17:46

🌀

"He'th a menathe on everyone. You wouldn't underthtand, you don't know him from a wriggler." He realised he was probably fighting a loosing battle, but oh well. And yes, while a lot of what he says is just him repeating what has been said to him before, that he'd come to realise is true.

2016-03-24 23:19:51

●

"And you don't know him right now. Do you seriously think that people can't change over time bro? That's a very narrow view of things." He didn't really look very impressed, and he would always defend Eridan with his claws and teeth.

2016-03-24 23:21:47

🌀

"He hathn't changed. I can thee that already. I bet he'th gone out of hith way to get you thingth, hathn't he. Got any new itemth lately, Thtrider?" He was just playing on what he knew, seeing what could get a reaction while at the same time seeing what sort of boundaries he was up against.

2016-03-24 23:23:40

●

"Yes. I bought a new apartment and he wanted to give me some furnishing gifts. I let him, because it makes him happy. He likes having nice things and seeing other people have nice things. I don't see anything wrong with it, specially as he was born with money, he probably doesn't really know the worth of money. I let him be." He shrugs.

2016-03-24 23:28:29

🌀

"He probably thinks that him buying you thingth will make you want to keep him around for longer. Ethpecially now that he knowth I'm going for, and have, your black. He'th probably afraid of loothing you to the truth about himthelf." He remembered the few times Eridan had bought him things that weren't strictly black related reasons. He'd accused him of trying to flip, and then managed to confuse both himself and Eridan.

2016-03-24 23:39:36

●

He shrugs. "Eridan is only trying to buy me things because he want's me to enjoy having good things. I don't accept most of them only because I'm not comfortable with it, but otherwise, I probably would. And honestly, with a shit like you being in a quadrant with me after years of him feeling insecure, I wouldn't be too impressed."

After a while of walking, he pushed Sollux out of the way to walk up the stairs, and was seriously considering locking him out.
