[Karkat feels a sinking feeling in his stomach when he realizes what Eridan is looking at. He can't back out of this, he can't, Sollux would do horrible things to Eridan, maybe cripple him if his focus on the gills was any indication. But people are watching. So many people are watching. The dread makes him feel sick to his stomach and cold all over, and there's no way out. As if in a sick turnaround of his desire to save Eridan's method of getting oxygen into his blood, Karkat is finding it suddenly hard to breathe. His eyes are watering, but he blinks it away, not wanting to make this worse before the inevitable complete breakdown happens.]
[Sollux watches Karkat's face for a moment lets the rage that comes with it sink in. This protectiveness is Eridan's fault as much as anything else is, reason to be angry and want to rip his insides out for all to see. This asshole took Gamzee and Karkat away and then corrupted Sollux's best friend with red pity that doesn't belong to him, and he will be punished for it. Sollux wants to scream again when he sees how hard Karkat's hands are shaking as his eyes dart around the room. Sollux is more concerned with making Eridan pay, but if Sollux was insecure about his body, then Karkat needed a new word to describe about how he felt about his body. He hates the raw vulnerability in Karkat's eyes as he tenderly reaches up to touch Eridan's face, looking sick.]
Does... D-does anyone have a bucket?
[For a brief moment, Sollux is afraid Karkat is just going to throw up all over the floor from the stress of having to say that word. Out of everyone Sollux knows, his best friend has always been the one most terrified of sex and buckets seem to be the biggest part of this. Sollux doesn't know how it started, if it's part of the natural fear of drones or something his lusus taught him or what, but Karkat is terrified of buckets.]
[Of course, thinking about this is enough to make Sollux realize the inherent problem here. Buckets typically only hold enough genetic material to handle two trolls. The sick idea comes to him in a rush-- of course, his and Karkat's dignity are the important ones here, so the bucket Sollux knows Eridan keep hidden behind his throne(thank you, Feferi Peixes, you wonderful girl) will obviously be for them. The sadism of it probably shows in his face as he uses a shock of psychic energy to pull the bucket out from behind the throne.]
Your thick fuck of a matethprit keepth one here.
[Sollux can see the horror dawning in Karkat's eyes at the sight of it, and wonders if his friend is thinking about all the times he's stood feet from this bucket while on duty. It's highly likely.]
