“ If y’see those saltbacks, give the ugly one, Cronus, a kick in the ass for me, m’kay?? “

And with that, your father sent you and your brothers off.

You were holding Kurloz’s hand as you walked, Gamzee was lagging behind after being distracted by a (what was apparently a really funny) pigeon.

Kurloz squeezed your hand to get your attention, then signed,

‘ You hungry? ‘

Gods, finally!! You nodded and Kurloz smiled (As much as he could with a stitched mouth). He turned to look at Gamzee, snapping his fingers.

“ Daamn- I’m comin’ im comin’-! I’m still thinkin’ about the pigeon. . . That motherfucker was hilarious… “

Kurloz and you shared an eye roll, watching Gamzee catch up.

Out of the corner of your eye, you watched two figures walk by quickly— Hey… you knew those horns…

Motherfuckin’ Cronus and Eridan Ampora…

Cronus and Kurloz made eye contact— You were hyped for a fight but Cronus just quickly nodded at Kurloz and gave a polite “ Sir. “ before guiding Eridan away… UGH!

“ Kurloozzz!! That was so la— “

‘ If y’see those saltbacks, give the ugly one, Cronus, a kick in the ass for me, m’kay?? ‘

Your dad’s words echoed in your head.. and- Now that you thought about it- Kurloz’s grip sure was light on your hand— And you where sure, if you ran, you could catch up to that fish stick…

Decisions, decisions.
