She makes you nervous. Just being around her makes your hands shake, your innards swirl with sick paranoia, and sometimes you can’t get out a damn word when she’s next to you. She’s crazy, batshit grade-fucking-A insane, and you are all too aware of this fact; yet here you are holding her and trying to pass off your shaking as her own, because Vriska is crying into your shoulder and you’re just waiting for the shrill squeal of poor-tasting victory to be ravished into your ear. You sucker! is something along the line of what you’re expecting any second now, did you reeeeeeeeally think I would come crying to you?

And if that were to be the case, then no, no you fucking would not think she’d come to you of all trolls for a feelings jam and hugs lightly tip-toeing the line between friends and palemates. You would tell her this, if she did push you away laughing, you would yell at her and ask her what her problem was, and you would probably end up crying. You’re almost too busy thinking of all the things you would do that you’ve barely thought about what you’re going to do about the blue-blood in your arms.

You pap her back and pet her hair, whispering soft shooshes into her ear. There’s no point in thinking about how much of a bitch you know she can be, you realize a bit too late, because you know when crying is fake or real, and the shuddering sobs are very, unfortunately real. You have no fucking idea what happened to make Vriska cry in a fashion disgustingly similar to yourself, and that’s really fucking far from being important right now.

“It’s going to be okay,” you promise her.
