Waking Up With You: Homestuck X Reader

Equius!!

"This is the proper time to wake up, but I'm enjoying watching you sleep. You can go back to bed, please."

(Well at least he was polite about it.) If anyone else had said that to you, you probably would have bolted, but your matespirit Equius was a special case, your special case. Sure he could be blunt sometimes, but it was usually with the best intentions. Now you lay here while Equius slowly caresses your hair, touching you like you were made of glass. He was always so nervous he would hurt you, which was kind of sweet. You hummed softly as his fingers navigated the back of your head, trailing down and rubbing soothing circles on your back. His soft touch flowing through your hair lulled you slowly back to sleep until -

"Hissssssssssss!"

When, you were awoken with a start by a loud crash and some grumbling downstairs, your eyes fell on the half opened door, emblazoned with a muscle beast. Reminding yourself to take down all of those later, you rushed downstairs to make sure your partner was ok. Sure enough, there he was sitting on the ground in a puddle of milk with glass shards dispersed across the kitchen.

"Fiddle Sticks."
"Equius are you hurt?!"
"No, no need to worry yourself."
"What happened?"
"Just another failed attempt at enjoying muscle beast milk, a small thing to be troubled over. I'm just too STRONG."
"If you needed help Equius, all you had to do is ask."
"I need a towel."
"For the sweat or the milk?"
"Both."


You then proceeded to help Equius drink a glass of milk, bringing it to his lips and tilting it slightly. His dark blue blush was priceless.

"I thank you for your effort (Y/N), but I'd rather you not."
"Oh, come on Equius. I won't judge."
"Sentiments regarded, I'm not a wriggler who needs help drinking his hoof beast milk."
"Say that to my kitchen Equius."

The two of you cleaned the kitchen together; well, Equius cleaned the kitchen mostly. He said he didn't want you stepping on any broken glass. He was always very protective of you.

"(Y/N)."
"Yes Equius?"

Equius laid a small kiss on your cheek.

"You ... had some milk on you."
"Excuses, Excuses"

You could get used to this.
