Thank You Hussie ~ SHORT

Comic Con.

    It was coming to an end. Yes, you were a Homestuck, and yes, Hussie was there, but you waited until the end, that last few minutes before he would leave.

    You took your time to walk to his both. You have 15 minutes until he would leave the Con. Smiling, you held your sketchbook/journal to your chest. Waiting in line, you hummed a stupid little tune.

    After some squealing, and the flash of camera's, it was your turn. You calmly stepped up to the table. Andrew Hussie waved and smiled. "Hello there! I've seen you around here wearing that Dave shirt. I was wondering when you'd stop by!"

    You smiled at him and opened your book to a specific page. It was called, 'We've Won'. It was a picture of all the trolls and kids standing in front of the door. "I wanted to wait for the perfect time." You knew there was no one behind you.

"Well, there's no time like now!" You handed him your book, and he gaped at the picture. "You drew this?" You nodded. "I made it for you." He smiled at you, his eyes sparkling. "Oh, that's so sweet! Thank you......ummmmmm...." He looked at your signature. "Thank you ____!"

"You're Welcome, Mr. Hussie." He scoffed at the name. 'I'm not a gentleman, call me Hussie. Everyone else has been." You nodded and smiled again. Closing the book, he signed the cover, next to all of the others you had collected today. "Thank you." You told him.

    He beamed. "No problem ____!" You shook your head. "No, I mean thank you for everything." He looked confused. "What do you mean?" Smiling, you began. "Thank you for writing this webcomic. It means so much to me, and It helped me grow into a better person, believe it or not."

"I really appreciate all the work you did, and how you stuck by us the whole time, breaking our feels, healing them, giving us ideas, letting our creativity flow, and dealing with the fandom. I just wanted to thank you for all you do, all you did for us; for me." You smiled again. "Thank you Hussie."

    Andrew's eyes glistened with tears. He smiled widely up at you. "I don't think I've heard anyone say that before......Thank you. And You're welcome."

    He then stood up, and had someone take pictures with not only your camera and phone, but his as well. 'To preserve this moment', as he put it. After the picture, he pulled you into a hug. Strangely, it didn't feel weird. It felt welcoming, and very very nice. "Email me any time you'd like. I'll always answer to you."

    As you walked away, you looked back. Andrew waved at you and turned to leave. Needless to say, you were crying.

~~A few weeks later~~

    Opening the front door, you found a rather large box. There was no return address, but it was addressed to you. Grabbing the box, you brought it to your room. You grabbed a pair of scissors, and sat the box on your bed. Using the sharp side, you carefully opened the top. You opened the box to find a single piece of paper on top of the contents. A black fabric was covering the top.

____,

    I hope you enjoy the contents.
    There is more coming your way!

                ~AH

    You placed the note aside, a little confused at how he got your address. Removing the fabric, you found that it was not a black fabric, but a pull-over sweater with Karkat's symbol on it. You pulled out another, then another, and another, until all of the troll's symbols were shown.

You smiled.

That is how Andrew Hussie become your second Father.
