I've decided to work on this story once more and fix a lot of spelling and grammar errors. Also, I will be putting in more detail!
MITUNA'S POV
"Come on, Mituna! We're going to be late again!" Latula called from my front room.
Latula Pyrope had been my matesprite for a long time now, I can't really remember. I have a problem with my memory sad to say. At least, it doesn't bother her, we both agree things like that are pointless. Despite my memory loss, she always finds cute ways to help me remember. Such as leaving memo's on the fridge or labeling the calendar with scented markers. Another thing we always did with each other is getting gifts to show we loved one another.
"Hold on, Let me grab my helmet!" I yelled back, running into my bathroom. I needed my helmet for almost everything. I was extremely clumsy and would fall on things. I didn't need another accident and this helmet helped protect me.
The bathroom was decorated with small stickers of bees and flowers all over; the walls were a bright yellow with white tiles. Stopping mid-track to looked into the mirror to see if I was appropriate, not like it really mattered. We were going to a gamer gathering to talk about random things coming out or cheats we'd like to pass around. This kind of event wasn't something one would dress up nice for. My hair was messy like always from my helmet and being too lazy to cut and brush it. I couldn't see my eyes in the mirror at all, I could see through my hair, past all the strands. I was wearing my yellow and black shirt, black jeans, and my regular yellow boots. Where is my fucking helmet!? I looked in all the draws and cabinets but found nothing. Wait there's still- I checked the bathtub and found my helmet laying there... I thought so…
"Come on!" She practically screamed through the house.
Latula was always excited about this meeting every Sunday, almost as much as her skateboarding.
I slipped my helmet on, rushing to meet her. She had her hair up in a ponytail, her bangs clipped back with a blue Libra sign, that meant she was going to skateboard after the meeting. She was wearing a beautiful blue tank top with her Libra sigh in the middle in red, her lower half was black tights with her red boots.
She's so pretty today… I trailed off staring at her with a light yellow blush to my cheeks.
Latula grabbed my hand tight and yanked me out the door, "We're late, Mituna!"
I sat in my usual seat which was on an average sized yellow couch, in a small apartment building. The meetup point wasn't too far from my house, so Latula and I road our skateboards here as we often do. We always had our meetings at Sollux's place because he has all the TV's and shit. Latula was setting up the Wii while Sollux was in the back room working on a new computer virus. The only member who was here right now besides us was Kankri Vantas, the only reason he shows up to this kind of thing is that he has a crush on my matesprite.
I found this out one day when I was walking out of my home; he was trying to ask her out in a very long conversational way… This was when Latula and I just started seeing each other. She proceeded to tell him how she was starting to see me in a more romantic was. He tried to speak on how we were not as perfect together as he would be with her. This forced me to intervene and get him to run off. I'm surprised he still likes her… Despite her rejecting him.
Oh well, nothing to worry about.
Kankri was wearing his bright red sweater and black skinny jeans like always. He was sitting in the chair close to the corner, which was also his normal spot during our meetings. He tried to avoid all contact with anyone, keeping his eyes glued to art on the wall or on his red shoes. His cheeks were a slight red and he looks flustered. He tended to appear this way every Sunday as he felt out of place. If he was so uncomfortable, then he should stop coming
"We're here now! You better be fucking happy!" Karkat yelled, opening the door and almost slamming it in Gamzee's face. The tall clown like troll easily caught the door, only chuckling. Karkat scold quietly and took off into the backroom where Sollux was.
Karkat always complained about how he was always being dragged here by Gamzee, who was here mostly because Sollux offered him Faygo every time he showed up.
The clown troll grabbed a purple Faygo that was sitting on the coffee table before taking a seat on the edge of the couch. It popped it open with ease, "How are you motherfuckers doing?" He asked, taking a huge chug from his grape drink
Latula finally got the system ready and got in battle stance, "Doing awesome!"
"I'm alright," I said, leaning down to get a good look at my matesprite doing her moves.
Kankri noticed me, pulling his turtle neck up higher to hide his flushing cheeks. He didn't approve of such acts but he got tired of telling me to stop so now he keeps his words to himself, which is a miracle on its own.
Suddenly, someone busted in from the door and jumped onto the couch; in between me and Gamzee. It was none other then Terezi Pyrope, she sniffed the air, giggling like crazy. "Hey! Hehe." She giggled.
Latula looked back to wave and quickly got back into her game.
"Sup bro." Gamzee smiled, getting all relaxed on the couch. Fading away into his purple liquid, I swear to him it was like some kind of drug.
"Who let that fuckass in!?" Karkat yelled from the backroom, hearing Terezi's voice from a mile away.
She responded in her screeching, "I let myself in asshole!"
Karkat and Terezi used to be the happiest couple you could ever see in town. They always went on dates and walked around holding hands; despite Karkat's protest. No one ever thought they would end things and on a sour note. I guess their happiness ran dry, I can't exactly remember what happened between them. Not like I can remember anything clearly. Sollux said something about Terezi wanting more, but Karkat wouldn't commit.
Sollux came out of his room with Karkat several minutes later, "So everyone is here now?"
Sollux and I never got along too well, I'm not gonna lie sometimes his lisp gets to me and makes me leave the room so I can here peace and quiet, but I always came to him for advice especially when it came to Latula. I never was one for matespriteship, but with her, I could make it work. There was something about her, the way she smiled and how she handled my outburst. She could handle the part of me that no one could and it was nice to be able to rely on someone when I couldn't even rely on myself.
"I told you everyone was here! Can we just get this meeting started already cause I want to go home and do something better with my life!" Karkat complained.
Terezi shot a glare at him through her red shades. He just glared back, taking a seat by Sollux.
"Hold on! Let me kill this guy! No one can beat the almighty Latula!" She growled, throwing punches on the Wii. I shot up from my seat, grabbing another Wii remote. I immediately entered the game and started a match against my matesprite. "Think you can beat me, huh? Well, prepare!"
"I know I can beat you!" I said, throwing punches.
"Great... Now we're going to have to sit here for hours waiting for them to get done!" The over angry Cancer troll growled.
"Maybe if you just shut up for a minute, time will go faster." Terezi laughed.
"Can we all just get along? There is no occasion for such violent behavior. We should all be quiet and think about more contented things like a show or being in a field. Let them mess around with their game, it's not like their going to be on forever, even though they are both video game addicts. Just thinking about a nice moment will make things go smoother and better-" Kankri was cut off by Gamzee, who stood up.
"Hey motherfucker, do you have any more Faygo and snacks?" Gamzee asked Sollux.
"I should have some soft drinks and chips in the pantry, check there." He said. Gamzee gave him thumbs up and went into the kitchen.
Terezi jumped onto Latula's back, causing her to lose the game. "Hehe, did I make you lose?"
Latula shook Terezi off and pounded her feet on the carpet, "That's not cool! I was winning!" She growled.
I hopped around, cheering for myself and rubbing it in Latula's face. It wasn't very often I won against her, she was better at games than me. I would always forget the controls mid game or forget what we were playing altogether. Sometimes, she would take it easy on me but in a way that made it look like she lost because her skills were no good. But I always knew when she faked a lost.
I always knew.
"That's enough, let's get this meeting started." Sollux interrupted.
I sat on the couch were I previously sitting; smiling huge with a victory. Latula sat by me, punching my side playfully. Terezi sat beside her smiling from our small play time. They both gave each other a wink like they had the whole scenario planned out.
In my point of view, Latula and Terezi always had a good relationship. Latula stays at her place at the outskirts of town, so rent is much cheaper for the both of them. I've offered to let her move in with me but she says that it is too soon and she's not going anywhere. They often went and got lunch together and sometimes even Terezi would come over to hang out with me. We had a thing for movies that didn't make sense. She said they 'smelled good.'
Gamzee came back with more Faygo and chips, he sat them down on the table between all of us when he took a seat by Kankri since Terezi stole his. "Today we will discuss-" We spent the rest of the day playing games and talking about whatever we could think of once Sollux was done talking about his computer viruses.
Latula decided to stay at my place for dinner after she got back from skateboarding at the park and since Terezi didn't want to walk home alone, I said it was okay for her to come to.
"Terezi, how are you and that Dave human doing?" Latula asked.
Her cheeks blushed a light teal and she couldn't help but cover them, "We're doing well so far! I think he likes me too, like this Tuesday we're going to the movies!" she giggled.
I took my helmet off, setting it on the counter before sitting down to eat chicken soup with them, shaking my head so it didn't feel all sweaty and gross. That was one the truly awful things about wearing that helmet for so long.
"Wow Mituna, your hair is so fluffy."
I rarely ever take off my helmet in public, so I'm not surprised that she was shocked.
"I'm a dandelion." I smiled, scratching my head. Trying to make the smaller teal troll laugh. My humor worked as she giggled out loud, pointing at my hair.
Latula for some reason became very quiet.
Terezi licked her spoon and fingers all over, "Metal taste pretty good once you really try it."
Terezi was born blind, Latula had told me. She had a hard time growing up and learned to see with her smelling and being able to tell the shapes of things by tasting it. Of course, hearing aids her a lot as well as she can often tell where things are by sound. She had no issue blending in with everyone else and I didn't know she truly couldn't see until my matesprite told me.
"You know what we should do?" She spoke up, feeling the tension in the air. "We should watch a movie!"
"That sounds like fun." Latula finally said, getting up from her seat and dumping the rest of her soup out. I got up right after her, gulping my dinner down. Terezi hopped up forgetting all about hers, running to the living room. Latula took care of it, sighing.
"What's wrong?" I asked, hugging her from behind.
"We need to speak alone…" She whispered.
Her words filled me with worry.
"Be right back," I said, going to the living room. Terezi was sniffing out all our movies and licking some of them. I wish she didn't do that… "Hey Terezi, pick out a movie for us and we'll be right back. I have to show Latula something up in my room." She only giggled and nodded her head. I rushed to my Matesprite and we went into my bedroom. She closed the door quietly behind her.
"I've been hiding this for a while now, but since it's almost here…" I sat down on the bed and motioned her to sit by me. She agreed with a small smile and leaned against me, "I'm going away for a while…. I'm going to the skateboard championships in the states." I felt my heart tighten. I thought we were going to do that together….
"Why now?" I asked, obviously hurt.
"Well… they said the winner gets a big prize and cash. I couldn't pass up the deal and if we waited who knows when the reward will be this good again! Last year it was just a small vacation to a nice hotel for a week."
I got up and rubbed my head, the prize did sound good, "But you'll be gone for a whole year…" I frowned.
"I know… but I swear as soon as I win, I will not stay a minute longer for all of those interviews and stuff! I swear baby, everything will be awesome." She reassured. I could only sigh and face away. She hugged me from behind, "Come on, baby…" I felt her breath on my neck.
"Okay…" I gave in. I didn't want her to go… not one bit, but if she truly wanted this. How could I stop her? Besides, I knew she would win and before I knew it she would be back and in my arms. I turned around, hugging her back; kissing her forehead lightly.
"Thank you! Now let's go watch that movie!" she smiled, holding my hand.
I sadly closed my door. I just got back from the airport, watching my beautiful Latula go away. She was smiling and kept on saying how she would be back in no time. Kankri, Terezi, Sollux, and believe it or not Eridan came as well to see her off. I think Eridan and Sollux have a thing or something for one another. I've noticed ever since Eridan started following Sollux everywhere and moved in with him.
I set my helmet down on the couch and turned on the TV. "Nothing on…" I sighed. I heard someone knock on my door slowly at first and then with persistence. I slowly got up and opened it. I think my hair all the hair in my eyes were fooling me or something because the figure before me was someone I would have never guessed.
Kankri Vantas.
"I know you're probably confused right now, but I have a perfect explanation-" I cut him off by slamming the door in his face.
He angrily banged at the door, "Let me in at once! I have news from Latula and I must remark that this is a request from her and not me! I shall not cause any trouble, in fact, I will be on my best behavior and will not cause any interference. Latula wished for this since I am her friend as you must know! It will only be for a little while. However, it may be longer due to some problems." I continued to ignore him. Not wanting to hear a single word he said. Every time he said her name it made my heart hurt. I wanted to block him out, I wanted to block out the world
With my silence, Kankri chose to shout at the top of his lungs."She wished for me to live with you!"
I froze against the door. Latula... Wanted Kankri to live with me? I've told her before how he makes me nervous and angry. He is intolerable and we never could get along. Why would she suggest such a thing?! However, if this is what she wishes for… I opened the door, sighing. Now I have to live with a fucking chatterbox. Kankri's cheeks were red with agitation and being forced to raise his voice, but he still managed to hold his calm composer.
"If Latula wants you to stay, then you can stay. But keep out of my fucking room." I growled. I stepped aside so Kankri could come in. He only had a bag full of clothes with him; I thought he would have a lot more stuff. I always joked around that he had so much to say all the time, surely his house was packed too.
"Thank you very much, now where do I sleep?" He asked.
I walked over to the couch, tapping it. He didn't look too happy, but he set his bag down. Kankri finally noticed my hair and his eyes grew wide. "I didn't know you had such voluminous hair, Mituna. Since you wear that helmet everywhere you go. You know Kanaya and Porrim are excellent hair cutters and will be glad to cut yours-"
"I like my hair this way." I interrupted flatly.
"I see..."
I went to my room, slamming the door shut and jumping onto my bed. I still don't see why Latula said he could him stay here…? Why couldn't he go stay with Karkat or something? Wait, they hate each other…
"I'm getting something to drink!" Kankri yelled.
I just sighed and rolled over to my side, I think I should talk to Kurloz, he can help me calm down. Kurloz had been my friend for a very long time. He was one of the few people I could talk too and he would never judge me. He often gave me advice on life and what to do in tough situations. He was there when Latula and I got into fights. He would help me calm my outbursts. I picked up my cell phone and dialed Kurloz's number quickly. I sat at the edge of my bed, holding my head up with my hand; after the second ring he picked up.
"What is it, Mituna?" Kurloz asked, instantly knowing something was wrong.
"You're never going to believe what Latula did…" I sighed.
"I already know you don't have to tell me. All I can say is just hang in there."
"How did you know about this?" My eyes opened in surprise.
"Porrim told me not too long ago, since you know she's always on Kankri's back. I think it's kinda funny how two enemies are going to live together, this should be fun." Kurloz chuckled.
"This is not funny! This is horrible! I'm living with a complete chatterbox that is stubborn as an ox! I bet I won't be able to sleep tonight because he will be talking nonstop!" I growled.
"Well if you want, you can ride bikes with me, Rufioh and Horuss tomorrow. We're going to devils pond." He said, trying to sound evil.
"Nah I'm good… Besides Cronus lives around there and you know how he likes to pick on me. Not to sound like a complainer, but you know Rufioh and Horuss will be flirting with each other nonstop …I think I might just go hand out with Sollux tomorrow."
"Whatever you feel like, just drink some water and take a nap. You'll feel better I promise!" Kurloz said.
"That actually sounds kinda good right now. I think I'll do that." I smiled.
"Well, I better go. Busy and all. Bye." He hung up.
I tossed my phone onto my computer chair across the room. I don't want to get water though since Kankri is out there… This is my house so I shouldn't be scared! I went into the kitchen quietly. I noticed Kankri was sitting down, watching some show about a hospital. I guess that's where he gets all his talking from. They talk like crazy on that show! I got a bottle of water from the fridge and couldn't help, but keep my eyes on Kankri. You never know when he will turn around and talk you to death. He just looked over his shoulder to see what I was up too and turned back to his program. I guess he's not in the mood for once? Or he really likes that show. I returned to my room but left my door open.
Dang Mituna, so cold at first! Kankri just wants your roof and couch T.T But at least he got the TV ^.^ Well this is going to be my first story that is mostly about romance and it will be rated M later on haha I get to right Yaoi! Honestly, I love this ship and I'm not afraid to say it :D - EEK
