"Just text me when you're done getting your mediocre fish an' I'll come pick you up." He grinned, standing and rolling his eyes at him. He waved as he moved to head out, making sure he had the photographs on him held between the pages of his book as he headed home.

"It will be great raw fish, mind you." He called out, waving back and shaking his head.

He quickly got to attending the costumer, taking his time to chitchat.

🌀

He made it home quick enough, taking a few short cuts down side alleys to get back to his apartment quickly. He spent the next few hours getting the travel tanks ready, getting the little seahorses ready and making sure everything was still securable in the back of his car.

●

He spent the next 5 hours doing his job. It was a pretty regular day, the coffee shop packed with trolls as always, but someone caught his attention in particular. Mostly because of what seemed to be a weird bowl cut and double horns.

2015-08-11 07:36:28

🌀

Sollux had come to check out just what exactly had made Eridan cause a major fuss, yet again.

The human really wasn't even something to look at, at least in his eyes.

"You're Dave?"

2015-08-11 07:37:46

●

Dave glanced over at the guy, nodding. "And you're 'thollux'?"

2015-08-11 07:38:51

🌀

He glared at him, but kicked out the opposite seat. "Thhhsit down. I need to talk to you, and seeing as you can take time off for that shitbag you can take a few minutes for me."

2015-08-11 07:40:13

●

He rolled his eyes, looking around to make sure the costumers were under control, before sitting down, reluctantly. "Sure, whatsup?"

2015-08-11 07:41:43

🌀

"You're the human who is currently pretending to be the friend of one shit head Ampora?" He looked him over, frowning. "You don't look like much."

2015-08-11 07:42:36

●

"No, not really. I'm the human that befriended a seadweller by the name of Ampora though, yes."

"Neither do you, specially with your teeth wanting to run away from your mouth. Why is that relevant?"

2015-08-11 07:44:17

🌀

"Do you have any idea what exactly you're doing? Are you like, missing some sort of lobe in your brain that prevents you from thinking properly? Why the hell did you think it would be even a plausible idea to talk to him, let alone socialise with him. The guy's an outright piece of clingy shit." He ignored the jibe to his teeth, narrowing his eyes slightly behind his glasses.

2015-08-11 07:45:59

●

"Well first of all, he was pleasant company, unlike you, sadly." He rolls his eyes again. "Why does it concern you? Unless you want to tap that and are jealous for some reason, I believe that's none of your god damn business."

2015-08-11 07:48:38

🌀

"I wouldn't touch him with anything but psionics an' only to throw him off the nearest skyscraper like he probably deserves." He sneered. "I'm trying to keep you alive asshole. He's unpredictable, manipulative when he wants to be, and above all a whiny clingy rich stuck up brat. Gods know why I haven't been allowed to cull him yet. It's what everyone wants."

2015-08-11 07:50:07

●

He snorts with laughter, holding back a grin. Eridan was tame like a kitten, around who he liked.

"Appreciated, but I think I can keep myself alive pretty well. Are you done yet?"

2015-08-11 07:52:16

🌀

He bared his teeth a bit. "You really have lost your brain cells. Why don't you do what you're told for once, and just avoid him like the plague. It means you won't be prone to experiencing his whiny self-loathing fits, or his dramatic fish-bitch blow outs. Plus, you won't be forced to listen to him for continuous hours a day." He stood up, getting ready to leave. "There's a reason no one likes him, bar the fact that hes an egomaniac and also a murderer. He's a vacillating shit head and he doesn't know the meaning of 'no'."

2015-08-11 07:54:57

"Thats cute, you sure weren't complaining when you had your bulges in him though." Oh shit he did. He did. "Just fuck off, I have better things to do with my time than waste it with you. Some of us have lives and don't spend all day trying to fuck up their acquaintances' friendships." He too got up, starting to walk over to a new costumer.

2015-08-11 07:59:39

🌀

He went yellow. "Who the fuck- He told you didn't he. I'll burn the shithead'th eyeth out." He was practically sparking now, fists clenched. "He'th a dethhsperate bastard. He took it anyway, and I'm pretty sure that's worse. He'd take anything that'd even look at him the bulgeslut. I'll burn his fins, see how you like looking at him then." He turned and stormed out of the coffee shop, heading quite clearly for Eridan's apartment.

2015-08-11 08:17:35

●

Oh shit. He fucked up.

He done fucked up.

He hurried to grab his phone to call Eridan. "Um, hey, so don't hate me but a thing I said might have pissed off the pissy bowlcut guy and... I think he's going there? Eridan just don't open the door and avoid him at all costs, please dude, no arguments."

2015-08-11 08:20:11

🌀

"What?" He was already home, standing in his living room with an empty travel tank under one arm. "What's going on? You talked t- Did Sollux rock up to the coffee shop. Did he do anything to you?" The door practically slammed on it's hinges behind him and he sighed. "I'll talk about this later. Bye Dave."

2015-08-11 08:30:00

●

"No no no, shit, just- fuck I'm so sorry. He's royally pissed off, please don't." He bit his lip, wondering just what the fuck he did. He's such an idiot for letting his mouth run like that.

2015-08-11 08:35:35

🌀

"Dave chill. I'll talk with you later. He's always pissed o-" His phone was quite rudely flung from his grip and sent flying across the room to land against the floor. "Rude. What do you want asshole?" He put the travel tank down, turning to face him only to get a psionic-ly powered fist to the jaw. His head snapped sideways and he froze, slowly turning back to look at him.

2015-08-11 08:37:15

●

"No you don't get it, he- Eridan?" Fuck.

"...Eridan?"

Fucking fuck fuck, he needed to do something about this shit. But what? He can't go there!

2015-08-11 08:39:16

🌀

Sollux had gotten two more punches in and a now highly painful slash across one fin before he snapped. His own fist shot out and he got his straight across the cheekbone. He'd conditioned himself to never punch hard enough to break faces anymore, due to the consequences that would arise. There'd be a massive ass bruise there for a long time though. He was snarling, low and almost feral as Sollux quite literally pressed a burning handprint into his side in retaliation. He scratched at him, teeth bared as they fought.

2015-08-11 08:43:00

●

And there he was. Dave was panicking. Yup.

He couldn't go, he couldn't stay. If he got in there, chances are he'd be badly hurt and just make it harder for Eridan, but he could get badly hurt.

Shit

Calling Aradia in a hurry, he throws his apron away, nearly begging for her to help Sollux calm down, and soon there they are, Aradia frowning at the both of them as she walks right in.

2015-08-11 08:46:50

🌀

Eridan had Sollux pinned to the nearest wall, having twisted one arm behind his back and was repeatedly slamming his head against the wall. His shirt was ripped and almost smoking in some places from where Sollux had burned him, and they both were bleeding. His eyes were wild when they snapped to look at them both, fins pressed tight against his head as he snarled low and dangerous at them.
