[He tucks his face against her hair, trying really hard to keep it together for her. There are no words to express how badly he missed her, even though things had slid between them, even with everything else. And she died, and everything is such a fucking mess.]

I really did mithh you a lot.

[And his voice just cracked embarrassingly.]

[terribubble]

[ snuggling into him, sollux was very warm and she knew that waiting for him outside was the right decision to make no matter how cold it was. and after a moment or two she pulls back slightly, just enough to get a good look at his face. ]

I thought you didn't want to glub about it, Mister-I'm-Not-Going-To-Sit-In-A-Pile!

[ she could tell he was trying to keep it together, and it was pretty glubbing cute to her. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[Sollux looks like he's been through hell. There are big yellow bags under the rims of his glasses from lack of sleep and a few lines on his face, from perpetually frowning, from stress. He looks like he needs to go to bed for a few sweeps. He looks like he shouldn't even be able to stand up, and his lip is split from doing what he's doing right now, which is sinking his fangs into it.]

Well I'm not going to thhit in a pile.

[terribubble]

[ she would glub on about feelings and such but it was clear from one look Sollux was in no condition to be here. her excitement dulls down rather quickly, replaced with concerned. ]

You look awful. Have you been sleeping at all?

[biifurcatiion]

[His fingers start to stroke through her hair, down the fall of her back, trying to reassure her before she can get too worked up about this.]

No, but it'th ok, I never thlept that much anyway. It'th jutht harder, here, in thome wayth. You know they cut off any thort of ability you had before?

[This is not technically even a lie about why he sleeps so poorly; but the rest of it is stress, and guilt, and grief, and he doesn't want to bring that up just yet.]

[terribubble]

Really?

[ while she does take his excuse it doesn't stop her from being worried. ]

We should take a nap! I don't know how you can even salmon the strength to come over here looking like this.

[biifurcatiion]

You don't need a nap, thtop glubbing at me and put on thome clotheth before your finth get frothtbite. I'll be fine.

[Also he just realized, they're standing in the hall doing this practically in public.]

You found your block already, right? Can we get out of here?

[terribubble]

[ what dorks. ]

Gluuub, fine. We can go after I put these on!

[ she quickly begins to put on the clothes sollux brought her. he sure did bring a lot! she puts on a hoodie before the big puffy snow coat, idly wondering if she's going to look ridiculous after she's done, especially since these are meant to fit sollux and not her. she readjusts her scarfs and then reaches for the pants, using sollux for support as she attempts to get them on. it would be embarrassing if she fell.

her hips prove to be too wide. girls got a figure. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[Baby got back, ok, he's always kind of liked that about her. Even though he feels a bit guilty checking it out again, given what she's missed out on. But Sollux is a stick, and it's obvious when she tries to put his pants on that she's got it going on.]

Yeah I thought that wath going to happen. Maybe we can find you thome of your own, later.

[terribubble]

[ a nod. it wasn't a big deal. ]

Welll... let's go!

[biifurcatiion]

[ He pushes her gently, more of a body bump than anything else. ]

You go, I don't know where we're going here.

[terribubble]

[ sly eyeroll as she grabs his arm. ]

This way.

[biifurcatiion]

[ of course guilt or no guilt he'd let her drag him anywhere. They can't very well talk properly out in public; there's not even a pile. And it was kind of humiliating last time she made his do it.]

You're ok, right?

[terribubble]

Why wouldn't I be okay?

[ she glances at him as they make their way into her room. room 501! it was a really odd question to ask, especially since she was right in front of him in one piece. ]

[biifurcatiion]

[And of course now that he's said it he doesn't know why. Because she's dead? When did she ever care about that? Because- but nobody would have told her, hopefully, so he can at least do it himself. Because he's a fucking idiot.]

Becauthe it'th weird ath hell?

[terribubble]

That's stupid, I already said I'm sure everything will be alright.

[ she opens the door to her room. ]

We're here!

[biifurcatiion]

[It's not the same room she had before. It's not even the same house. And it's not the same Feferi, either, is it, really? Since she doesn't remember anything at all.]

Lookth boring.

1/2

[terribubble]

Hey! Don't call my Respiteblock boring. It just needs to be decorated with lots of cuttlefishes!

[terribubble]

[ annnnd

she smiles right after. grouchy motherglubber <3. ]

Well, maybe just plush cuttlefishes. They can't live here.

[biifurcatiion]

[He doesn't know where to sit or what to do or anything. He's forgotten how weirdly empty and impersonal all these rooms are, until you start really living in them.]

You didn't leave any behind latht time, tho I don't have any to give you. I have thome of your thtuff, by the way, not a whole lot but thome. And you wouldn't be able to catch any anyway, becauthe you won't be able to really breathe underwater anymore.

[terribubble]

I can't? I thought I felt a little weird.

[ oh no she's a little sad. ]

[biifurcatiion]

Not that, and not anything elthe. No life thtuff, no hauling around whaleth.

[terribubble]

That's retarded!

[ she's not okay with this ]

They gave us new powers right? But they didn't have to go and take my glubbing gills.

[biifurcatiion]

[He sympathizes.]

I jutht thaid they won't work anymore, not that they ripped them out of your body or thomething. You want to talk to me about retarded, do you know how bad my head hurtth all the time now that I can't dithcharge any of the energy kicking around my thinkpan?

[terribubble]

Sollux.

[ 38(

she turns back to him, and holds cups his face with her hands as an act of comfort, as well as to position his forehead down to touch hers. ]

You reeeeally need a nap.
