Chapter Text
You disentangle yourself as gently as you can manage and head to the kitchen to make some coffee. The humans had introduced it to you on the meteor and it made Vriska much easier to deal with after she'd just woke up. Not that she wasn't an absolute delight all the time, of course.
When you finally dig up your phone from where it had fallen by the couch, Rose has already left you a few messages.
If I don't hear from you soon, I'll have to assume the worst. Do you think Feferi would be a viable option for rebound sex?
And,
Jade is bringing by more corn from her garden. I'll be here, weeping over the vegetables, anxiously awaiting your return and the gossip I'm sure I'll get. And whatever else I may get from you. ;)
The timestamps mark them as having been sent just before six, which meant she'd either just woken up or was about to go to bed. You would put money on the latter. She's a menace, and you can't help but smile fondly before tapping out a reply.
You don't notice Vriska standing in the doorway, loose-limbed with sleep and barely clothed, until she speaks.
"Maryam, what the fuck are you doing in my house?"
You make her a cup of coffee before answering, and unsurprisingly she is already much more amenable with it in her cold highblood hands. "You invited me, last night. You were making a real mess of yourself Serket, and someone needed to clean it up," you say, sitting back down primly at the table. This was to be expected- Vriska never could hold on to things that happened when she was drunk.
(You bar images of her hand on your waist from your mind; that night meant nothing, she probably doesn't even remember, really why do you)
Vriska huffs and settles herself roughly into the seat across from you. The sunlight is hitting her face making her look far more pretty than should be allowed, but it also gives you something to attribute her squint to besides suspicion.
"Do you remember anything Vriska? About Terezi maybe?"
you prod, and it takes a minute before the light of horror finally dawns on her.
"You have got to be fucking kidding me."
