Sollux X Reader (Homestuck)

A/N: Mentions of death
----------------------


Your hands clasped your shirt as you took deep breaths. You couldn't cry you didn't want to wake Sollux up. You didn't want to alarm him. You quietly paced around the room. 


About a week ago you had been informed that your friend had died. You had known them since you were six. You two had stayed in contact for so long and when you were called up and told they had died you were heart broken. You didn't bother to tell Sollux because you didn't want him to be worried but after from coming home from the funeral you found yourself drained the whole day.


You were hit hard when night came. At the realization that you would never speak or hear from her again... It killed you.


So, here you are. Pacing in your living room attempting not to cry so you won't wake your lover from his slumber. 


You mumbled  to yourself to try and calm down and ran your hands through your hair. What could you do? What should you do?


"(Name)? What are you doing up?" Sollux asks tiredly as he walks into the living room. You turn your attention to him and upon seeing your messy complexion he immediately moves towards you, noticing something's off. "What'th wrong?" He asks carefully as he takes your face in his hands. You take a deep breath and try to explain to him your fine but in that moment of warmth and security you break apart and wrap your arms around his form and shove your face into his shoulder. He stands there shocked, holding your shaking form as he mumbles words of comfort. "Do you want to talk about it?" He asks as he leads you to the couch. 


"I'm a mess" You whisper as you desperately wipe your tears away. "I'm sorry," You say as you try and calm down. Sollux shakes his head and pulls you closer to him. He rests his chin on the crown of your head. 


"Don't be th'orry" 


"My friend died last week" You confess and Sollux lets out a little gasp. He takes your face in his hands and makes you look at him.


"(Name). I'm th'o th'orry. That'th terrible. Why didn't you tell me?" He asks as he gently wipes the tears away.


"I didn't want to bother you..." You say and he frowns before kissing your cheeks. 


"You wouldn't have bothered me. I love you (Name). No matter what" He says as he peppers your face with kisses. You smile and he grins. "Wanna watch stupid movies?" He asks and you nod. He grabs the clicker and turns the TV on.


He holds onto you all night.
