Thread: Homestuck: The Trickster and the Thief [Ahren and Resident Homestuck]

RE Homestuck The Trickster and the Thief Vriska Try the Hawaiian pizza You notice Johns expression change a bit when you mention grubsauce - you know what hes probably thinking, since it probably would sound kind of disgusting to a human. Its not that bad, you promise. It only sounds awful. The music coming from the television set as the movie starts is completely unfamiliar, but its of minor concern to you. Out of curiosity, you half watch as the movie starts, but the main focus of your attention is still on the human boy next to you. You love being so close - you can feel his warmth and excitement practically radiating from him. His sudden outburst of what you suspect to be only partly true makes you laugh a little. You know that Strider did have reasons for never taking Johns movie recommendations, and those reasons werent cast in such a positive light. But at least the movie playing now doesnt suck. You doubt he would have picked a bad movie in this particular instance, at least. You think you feel something inside you just turn into a wobbly mess when you catch sight of the grin directed at you, and you cant resist smiling back at him. Its just so freaking hard to think when youve got him leaning into you with that smile on his face. Admittedly, you arent quite sure if hell want to try the grubsauce burger. You guess it would look disgusting to a human, so you wouldnt have been offended if hed refused. But that would make it so much more awesome if he did try it. You watch him bring the thing up and hesitate for a moment, probably considering the consequences of eating anything called grubsauce. The reaction is actually better than youd hoped it would be. Of course, youve never had mayonnaise, so you have no idea what mayo is. But if it tastes like the grubsauce, then you think you have a fairly good idea of what it tastes like. As you take a piece of the Hawaiian pizza, you notice that Johns split the burger unevenly, remembering that you arent too hungry and giving you a relatively small piece. Youre glad he remembered, because hes probably starving and you wouldnt want to waste any food when youre not hungry to begin with. Your smile returns at his explanation of the Hawaiian pizza. You and him really are an unlikely couple, you suppose. It seems obvious now, but you guess two years ago it would have seemed different. Youve never had pineapple, so you have no idea what this will taste like. But the tiny yellow bits of fruit look...kind of gross. But John tried your creation, so youll try his. You lift a piece up and stare at it a little dubiously for a moment before taking a bite. It tastes weird but really good. You take another bite and decide you like it. The pizza is better than it looks, you admit, taking another bite. You swallow before continuing. The yellow st-- the pineapple looks strange. But it works well on this. You follow Johns example and lean back into the couch, kinda sorta maybe half leaning on his shoulder. Its surprisingly comfortable, so you settle into your position with your slice of pizza and small piece of grubsauce burger. The fact that this movie was about pirates did come to your attention. It might have had something to do with the title...just a guess. Its cool that its about pirates though. Your mind drifts a little to your ancestor, and you wonder if John picked a movie about pirates on purpose. The names he relays mean nothing to you - you guess they must be actors. You listen to the first few seconds of the beginning of the movie, but you cant seem to move your attention from John. Its almost infuriating how aware you are of where your arm is touching his. But its comfortable. Like, really comfortable. So you content yourself with leaning on his shoulder and finishing off your slice of pizza. The burger is kind of forgotten, and you end up just sitting there in silence. You havent been very talkative over the last two years, so youre not sure what you should be saying - or even if you should be saying anything. After all, you have no idea how human dates work. But sitting in this position is really all you need to fill the silence.
