"I can drive." He twitched at Dave coming closer, fins pinning back against his head even as it hurt. "Seriously. You probably wanna leave now. Weren't you at work? Why'd you come here anyway?"

●

"You won't drive." He says firmly, quite clearly not going to take his shit on that matter.

"Because I'm worried about you, and because I put you in this mess. I'm sorry." He slowly reached up to cup his cheeks, stroking them gently as he looked at him, a very pale gesture. "Sit down for a little bit, please."

🌀

He very nearly snarled at him. But no, that'd be bad. He leaned into his hands a bit, closing his eyes and twitching a bit. "It's fine. Don't worry about it."

He moved eventually to sit in the chair. He sat on the edge, shoulders hunched forward still even as he reached for the cup and wrapped his hands around it. "Is Sollux okay?"

"I don't know, Aradia is with him though, so I'll tell you when she tells me." He sits on the couch on the opposite side of the table, not wanting to make him flinch at every single thing. "How bad does it hurt?"

2015-08-11 09:56:21

🌀

He nodded, looking down at the cup. He tapped his finger against the side, not looking up.

"It... I'll be fine. It's not the worst he's done to me. Just a few burns an' scratches an' I'll probably have bruises as well." He shrugged, but instantly regretted the motion, seeing as it pulled at the claw marks over the back of his shoulder.

2015-08-11 10:02:14

●

He sighed softly. "I'm sorry... shit, I'm an idiot..." He shook his head at himself. "I'm so fucking sorry."

2015-08-11 10:05:18

🌀

He looked up at him finally, confusion furrowing his brow. "Why? You didn't do anything wrong. It's not like you specifically told him to come burn me or anything." He blinked, worrying his lower lip. "... You didn't, did you?"

2015-08-11 10:06:40

●

"No, no no no of course not, Jesus... I just..." He sighs again. "He was being an asshole, and I was trying to get him to leave and.. and it just slipped you know? And then he got angry and I'm so sorry."

2015-08-11 10:07:59

🌀

"What slipped?" He just looked confused now, shoulders hunched and fingers tight around his cup. "He didn't hurt you or anything? While he was at the coffee shop?"

2015-08-11 10:09:28

●

"No, he didn't it just... He said something about only touching you with his psiionics and I have no brain to mouth filter, and I just... reminded him of the time you hooked up wen you were drunk..." He shook his head at himself, pretty ashamed.

2015-08-11 10:11:16

🌀

He furrowed his brow and looked back at his drink. "It's fine Dave, honestly. If you hadn't said anything than someone else might've. I'm actually surprised Gamzee hadn't let it slip earlier. Don't go beating yourself up for it. It's fine."

2015-08-11 10:12:49

●

Well shit he didn't want to make a show of this, he didn't want Eridan to be the worried one now. "I'm still sorry, you know, I didn't mean to get you hurt..." He sounds like a kid that accidentally broke a borrowed toy. "Just- are you sure you're okay? Think the burns will heal fine?"

2015-08-11 10:15:17

🌀

"Dave it's fine." He hesitated, but reached across to cautiously stroke a hand over his hair. "It's fine. I'll heal an' have some stupid looking marks for a bit an' then they'll be gone." He gently stroked over his hair. "Don't worry about it. I'm not dying, I haven't even lost hearing in either fin. It's just... sore."

2015-08-11 10:18:44

●

He glanced up, his shoulders relaxing at the gesture, and he leans into his hand a little. "Yeah... yeah you're right. Ok." It didn't change the fact he felt guilty as fuck, but, no use crying over spilled milk. "Can I hold your hand?" He muttered

2015-08-11 10:21:05

🌀

He managed to smile, even though his shoulders were hunched and his other hand was tight around the coffee mug. He hesitated, but got up to sit on the couch, not too close but close enough so that he could offer his hand. "... You didn't have to say that you know." He said quietly, looking at the cooling coffee. "When you trying to get me to calm down. You... You didn't have to say that if you don't really feel like that."

2015-08-11 10:31:43

●

He gently took Eridan's hand on his own, lacing their fingers, and bringing their hands up so that he could kiss the back of his hand.

"Say what? What don't I feel?" He asked, thinking for a little. "But, I do. I love you."

2015-08-11 10:36:26

🌀

He shifted closer, enough so that he could hesitantly rest his forehead against his shoulder. "... But. We haven't even been dating long. Why would you love me." He made a soft sort of distressed 'glub' noise, pressing his forehead against his shoulder. "Don't get me wrong. I. I love you, I pity you too. So much it's not fair but that's just me."

2015-08-11 10:40:44

●

He moved his other hand to pet his hair, letting him rest there. "I have a firm ideology that there are a lot of types of love." He starts, kissing the top of his head next. "And I care about you, and like to be with you, so I'd consider that love."

2015-08-11 10:43:55

🌀

He made another soft distressed noise, but leaned into the touch. He squeezed his eyes shut, and figured he should try to relax a bit, because the tenseness across his shoulders and down his back was really starting to hurt now. He squeezed his hand, tucking his legs up to his chest and curling up against him. "I love you too. I'm sorry. About today. That you had to see that, clean up that."

2015-08-11 10:47:18

●

He shook his head a little. "Dont apologise for it. Just want you to be okay. I'm sorry that you went through that because of me..."

He gently wrapped an arm around his shoulders.

2015-08-11 10:51:42

🌀

He flinched at the arm around his shoulders, even as gentle as it was. He squeezed his hand a second later, shifting slowly so that he was more comfortably (or as comfortably as he could manage) tucked up against him. "I'm gonna be okay. It's fine."

2015-08-11 10:53:08

●

He pressed another soft kiss to his temple, just letting him relax there. "I hope so. Now just rest, its alright."

2015-08-11 10:55:02

🌀

"I still gotta take the fry. They're expecting me." He was pretty determined on that. He had to do it. He moved his other hand to clutch at Dave's shirt, eyes still closed.

2015-08-11 10:56:06

●

"I'll drive then, if you really want to." Dave squeezes his hand a little, nuzzling his hair.

2015-08-11 10:57:47

🌀

"You'd drive for me? I can still drive. My feet are fine an' I've only got one hand that's partially injured." He tilted his head up enough so that he could look at him, blinking almost owlishly.
