Well it sucks enough for you to want to spit it out, but at least it's not actually piss.

"Ewaugh!" Sollux says with a mouth full of Strider Sider™ and he runs over to the sink to rinse his tongue.

"Chill the fuck out princess, it's not that terrible." Dave says coolly right after he swallows, shuddering a bit. "Your body nearly refusing to let it go down your throat says otherwise." You say in between coughs. Damn, your body was doing the same thing.

The blonde cocks his head to the side, "Yo, you good? Don't puke on me or anything." You nod, "Yeah, I think it just went down the wrong pipe or something. Could I have the ginger ale now?" He reaches over the the opposite side of him to get the bottle, but before giving it to you he takes his own sip, claiming "to make sure it isn't poisoned." You thank him and start to take a sip but halfway through your eyes widen and you start to cough madly again. "Holy shit [Y/N] you're just choking on everything. Don't actually throw up on me now, or like anywhere. You need a trash can?" You violently shake your head no letting him know once more that you are fine. You had a realization, though.

You basically kissed Dave Strider. Right???

"I think there was apple skin in my drink." Sollux says examining the remnants of what he spit out into the sink.

"Well I think we can all agree that Sollux lost because he couldn't even down one sip." Dave concludes, giving you a fist bump. "Oh shut up Strider. [Y/N], can you hand me my water?" You toss Sollux one of the bottles Dave came over with, but you accidentally hit him right in the middle of his forehead with it. You bring your knees to your chest and burry your face in embarrassment as Sollux starts a string of nonstop cursing and Dave laughs his ass off.

You smile to yourself a little hearing Dave's laugh, it wasn't just a chuckle this time, it was a him straight up cracking up at something you did. However, that thing you did was hit your moirail in the face with your shitty throwing skills. You never loved and hated yourself more in your entire life.

Dave volunteered to go get Sollux an ice pack while you finally stood up off the floor only to sit back down on the couch. The ice pack was so big that it covered Sollux's glasses a bit so Dave had to take him by the shoulders and lead him back to the couch. Every once in a while he would purposely make him walk into a table and you'd try not to laugh.

"D-do you need any help?" You manage to say without giggling. "Naw were all good here, nothin to worry about." Dave replies, giving you a thumbs up and not paying attention, actually leading Sollux into a chair.

"Watch it douchebag!" He shouts, almost knocking it over.

"Sorry sorry Jesus." Dave says dodging Sollux, who has now started swinging his fists in hopes of hitting him. After a few seconds of struggling Sollux finally gets the bright idea that maybe he should just take the ice pack off. He does so and proceeds to actually hit Dave. The two then start to have one of those cat fights where they just slap each other repeatedly. Maybe it's time that you finally intervene.

"Ladies, ladies, you're both beautiful." You say as you get in between them, pushing the two away from one another. "Why don't we just go back to the couch and watch a movie or something?" You suggest. "I'm sure we don't want to just take turns watching each other use one controller to play video games." Dave agrees and Sollux shrugs, probably because he thought the alternative wasn't that bad so he could just hog the game controller.

You once again sat down on the couch in between Sollux and Dave as Sollux picks up the remote and starts scrolling through Netflix. "Ok so we got Sleepless in Seattle-"

"Say that five times fast Sol."

"Shut up Strider. Anyways we have- yeah that movie. And Big, Forrest Gump, Toy Story-"

"Ok look Tom Hanks is a god damn national treasure," Dave interrupts again, "But none of these are exactly my speed."

"What kind of speed are you talking about, like wanna watch all the Fast and Furious movies? What about Cars?" You joke.

"I was thinking more like horror. Like, there's The Shining." Dave says, gesturing to the plethora of horror movies on screen.

"Oh no." You quickly take away the remote from Sollux and move on, "I don't do horror."

"Aw c'mon [Y/N] why not? You too scared?" Dave teases, poking your arm and trying to snatch the remote, but you dodge it by switching hands and reaching as far away from him as possible.

"Don't test me Dave. I'll- I'll hit you or with this or something." Dave, however, doesn't believe your obviously fake threats and continues to reach over you until he is almost a little too close for comfort. Like if either of you lost your balance right now he would definitely fall on top of you rom-com style. Your actually so close to him you can almost see his crimson red eyes through his sunglasses for a second. It reminds you of elementary school when he wasn't insecure about it yet and didn't hide them. You never quite understood how someone could ever be so insecure about such beautif-

"UGH YOU GUYS ARE DISGUSTING I'M LITERALLY RIGHT HERE." Sollux screams at you both. You and Dave quickly scramble to sit back up right and you hand the him the remote.

A moment or two of awkward silence goes by and until Sollux finally speaks up again to break it. "Well, you two finish on deciding the movie, I'll be over there making popcorn." He says starting to walk into the kicthen, but just as Dave turns his attention back to the movie picking you see Sol shoot you some finger guns and flash a smile. You have no idea your moirail is trying to help you or torture you.

"So. No horror then?" Dave asks you, trying to make light of the slightly uncomfortable moment you two had just shared. "Y'know if you get scared I could, I don't know, maybe hol-"

"What?" You ask, only partially hearing.

"What?"

"What did you just say?"

"Oh, nothing."

"Nothing, gotcha."

"No horror?"

"Yeah...

...no horror."
