And away we go

[apocalypticduality]

When the cage around the city of Portsmouth lifted, a mass exodus had begun. But Sollux was, unsurprisingly, lazy, and slept in that day. That only changed when he turned over and his arm fell out of the comfortable warmth of the space between his body and the couch on which he'd passed out the night before. When his fingers brushed the carpet he grumbled, then sat up, rubbing his hands over his face then stretching and rolling upright to slouch his way to the bathroom.

Five minutes later, Dib's phone buzzed.

come to the bathroom.

Dib, predictably, had been up and working on further compiling various traits of the various sundry creatures found around the city when he got the text. He had had his back turned to the couch, so he hadn't seen Sollux, just heard him plodding off to the bathroom.
That's when he got the text and raised both eyebrows. Why didn't he just shout? Whatever.

He got up and shuffled likewise to the bathroom, coffee cup in hand. "Where's the fire? Wh--oh. Oh."
He nearly dropped the cup.
"Wow."

"Yeah," Sollux replied as he turned back around, beaming. It barely mattered that his body had stretched back out to his proper proportions, leaving his pants highwater and his horns making his hair stick up weirdly where he hadn't brushed it around them. He was back in his own skin again, and it felt like being released from the most suffocating costume. When he grinned, his teeth poked over his lower lip.

It felt like coming home.

"Now that's something I forgot I was missing a lot," Dib said as he stepped closer, towards Sollux, running his hands over his boyfriend's face, looking into his eyes. "How's your head? Still full of fuck?"

He hoped that if the fucking glamour had left, so had the other's amped up psychic abilities.

He listened for a moment. "Nah, still full of fuck, but I can actually block it pretty well now," Sollux sighed with relief. He slid his hands over Dib's waist and dipped down to nip the other's lip, holding it briefly then pulling it until it had slipped away again. "I think this means we can go home..."

"God, yes please. I never thought I'd be homesick for a one bedroom tract apartment, but here we are." He leaned in and stole another kiss, grinning a bit wildly at the fact that he had Sollux back. Not just Sollux in a human facade, but in fact, the dweeb alien who had managed to catch his attention in the first place. "I mean, you were one hell of a human, but I gotta say, I prefer you as you."
