King & Lionheart pt. 2 | Closed
You don't know if you should be happy to be back in Hive City, but this time, you're determined to make the most of your experience. Your last stay was riddled with so many confusing feelings: relationship troubles amongst your friends muddled with your own personal feelings...it was enough to make your head spin!
So, here you are again, and as much as you miss your friends from the bubbles, you're hopeful that this will be a productive, fulfilling experience.
As you make your way to whoever you need to talk to to start your own business, something nags at the back of your head. You wonder if your old friends are here? Terezi, Sollux, Vriska and Aranea? You know Nepeta is gone, and it kind of breaks your heart...and then there's the matter of Marshall Lee.
It never sat well with you, how you left things with Marshall -- that is, how you got plucked out of the city without even getting the opportunity to say goodbye. You've thought about him a lot. Agonized, actually. And while you're pretty sure whatever weird...something you had with him is far past over on his end, you'd still give anything to know whether or not he's still here.
And then, as if by divine intervention, you see him.
You'd recognize that shirt anywhere, along with the back of that tousled hair. Your bloodpusher leaps into your throat, and for a moment, you can only stand stock-still like an idiot. Then, your legs will you forward, and before you know it, you've sidled up alongside him. You say, in a purring voice that makes you sound a lot cooler than you feel:
-- "H3333Y THERE, MISTER COOL GUY. LONG TIME NO S33!" --
Yes. Because being lighthearted enough will completely excuse the fact that you dropped off the face of the planet for months.
