Ships that I Ship: Day 64: Dave/Sollux

Canon: Homestuck
Pairing: Sollux Captor/Dave Strider
Canon Level: I Think They've Met

So I feel like there's something I should have explained about Homestuck back on the first day, and it's that pretty much all the characters in Homestuck are assholes. They're all assholes in different ways, and the majority of them are actually extremely likable and/or relatable. But it makes for a change when I try to say why I like a certain pairing because the majority of stuff up until now has been fairly sweet and fluffy. And now it's "I enjoy reading about these two insulting each other." Sollux and Dave aren't quite that bad. I think they'd be fairly chill with each other and tease but not have things escalate into outright arguments. Both Dave and Sollux think they are way smoother than they actually are. They could play video games while Dave rambles and Sollux half pays attention. It'd be cute!
