"I... I don't, I really don't, but we have to be there." He sighs. He'd defend him as best as he could, but Rose would probably get to Eridan quickly and John would take a while to understand it, or accept it. "But there's a chance that they'll stop being dicks if we go, so... I guess it has to happen."

He wound an arm around his waist, fingers gripping at his shirt as he pressed a soft kiss to his neck. "I love you. So much. But..." Don't you dare choose me over them. He wanted to say it. He really did, but that would definitely make Dave upset so he just hunched his shoulders and burrowed into him. "I love you."

●

Dave clung to him a little as well, suddenly feeling like something was wrong. Eridan wanted to say something else. "I love you too Eridan, don't worry. I don't like seeing you worrying so much, we'll be fine." He kissed his shoulder, nuzzling it a bit.

🌀

"We'll be fine." He echoed, nosing at his jaw and squeezing his eyes tightly shut. "I'm not-, okay I am worrying. I do that more often than you realise. More so about the fact that sometimes my books go missing and I swear that one of the seahorses are getting smaller, not bigger." He deliberately went off topic, trying to push his nasty thoughts and fears to the back of his mind to dwell on later.

●

Dave pulled back a little from Eridan's grasp, cupping his cheeks to make Eridan look him in the eye. "You know you can talk to me, right? You don't have to hide things from me."

2015-09-19 08:24:37

🌀

"I know." He closed his eyes again, leaning into Dave's hands. "But talking is hard and bad and /vulnerable/ and-" he shook his head a little, opening his eyes and leaning up to peck his lips. "You're easier to talk to. Trust me, you are. Just let me think on this. I will tell you if I can't handle my thoughts anymore." He might not, if it was sure to cause Dave to worry more.

2015-09-19 08:31:48

●

When he said it was vulnerable, Dave bit the inside of his cheek a little, stroking his cheeks softly with his thumbs. "I know. It's easier when you're not face to face with someone. But if it helps, I'm as vulnerable with you as you are with me." He presses a kiss to his forehead. "Just know I'm here for you, always."

2015-09-19 08:34:40

🌀

He nodded, glad that Dave understood. Sort of. He tucked his face under his chin again, curling up in his lap and closing his eyes. "I will tell you one day. Anything you want to know, at all I'll tell you. Small things even now if you want." He pressed a kiss to his chin, "i love you."

2015-09-19 08:39:06

●

He shook his head a little, going back to holding him. "I just want to know you're okay. I love you too, a lot."

2015-09-19 08:40:56

🌀

"I will be okay." Maybe once all of this bullshit has calmed down properly. "Besides, I get to pet a dog tomorrow, best thing to look forward to, right?"

2015-09-19 08:47:37

●

He smiles at that, even laughs softly. "Yeah, specially Bec. He's huge, and falls over when you're petting him, like he's going 'oh shit I'm being petted lying down time!' "

2015-09-19 08:48:51

🌀

He smiled, lips pressed against his neck as he raised a hand to stroke through his hair. "Excellent. I'm gonna be petting that dog the entire time and no one can stop me."

2015-09-19 08:50:47

●

"No one will stop you. Bec will probably bite whoever tries to stop you, really. Or growl. I've never seen him bite, honestly."

2015-09-19 08:52:05

🌀

"Excellent. That's my plan for tomorrow, screw explaining away my one and only murderous bout of self-defense, I'm gonna pat a dog."

2015-09-19 08:56:20

●

"I support that plan fully." He grins, planting a big ol' smooch on his cheek. "But really, don't e intimidated by them. John used to be annoyed because his dad was too amazing, and Rose was probably drunk before she made a move on Kanaya. They're silly."

2015-09-19 08:57:58

🌀

"They're friends with you, of course they're silly." He grinned, nuzzling his jaw before just relaxing as much as he could over Dave. He shifted a little, cheek now resting on his shoulder as he closed his eyes. It wasn't even that late in the day, just past fourish now, but he felt suddenly sleepy.

2015-09-19 09:00:02

●

"Also John's ring tone is the ghost busters theme, and i think he had a man crush on Mathew Mcwhatshisface and Nic Cage at one point, and Rose writes legit wizard fanfiction. Like I'm not kidding." He snickers a bit. "They're extra silly. Comes with the package that is me."

2015-09-19 09:02:47

🌀

He laughed softly, face digging into his neck a little as he snickered. "Brilliant. That's even worse than my lot. Awesome, do continue to tell me things worthy of being moderately used against them. It's the best." He was joking of course.

2015-09-19 09:06:10

●

Dave knew he wouldn't say that to them, so he did keep going. "John actually thought con air was amazing until he was like what, 14? Yeah. Also Rose knits, including her own scarves. What else... she thinks my comics are funny, that's neat. Oh and she has rapped before, in the most dork-like way possible."

2015-09-19 09:11:21

🌀

He laughed, huffing a little with it as he muffled his snickers against his shoulder. "I've been thinking about knitting another scarf. A past time for sleepless nights or so." At the reminder of Rose rapping (he seemed to remember a conversation that included that from some time ago), he sat up a little, fins wiggling a bit. "That reminds me. I found some videos and audioclips of me singing. It is with Cro, and it's obvious who's who, but I remember you saying something about listening to me sing and because I don't want to actually sing again you could listen to those while I forever hide away?"

2015-09-19 09:17:26

●

"You should, they one you knitted was really damn soft." He smiles wide, watching his fins wiggle. "Who's Cro? But yeah that sounds cool. In what occasion did you two make a clip of it?"

2015-09-19 09:21:21

🌀

"He's like... What Dirk is to you I guess. An older ancestorial troll of mine, a dancestor is the old common term but he's basically just a cousin. He really likes his music, and he got the full brunt of the siren-like Ampora singing quality." He rolled his eyes, nuzzling his cheek. "What do you mean, what occasion?"

2015-09-19 09:31:43

●

He snickers, tracing musical notes on his side. "He sounds like a total dork. I meant like, why did you record it if you don't want people to hear you singing, were you in one of his songs?"

2015-09-19 09:33:26

🌀

He grinned, cheeks flushing a little in his minor embarrassment. "No. Well, not really. He wanted someone to sing with, and he records himself to pick up on what notes he pushes too hard for or stumbles on. He asked me if I minded being recorded and I couldn't care less as long as I got a copy and no one else ever heard it without my consent." He nuzzled his cheek, smiling. "And I sort of want to show you, but still it's sort of embarrassing. I don't sound nearly as good as Cro does."

2015-09-19 09:39:21

●

By the way he reacted, it was clear that Eridan wanted to deem himself as good at singing. "I have that Strider baritone, kinda hard to get there without regular practice, but it sounds damn nice. Bro's voice is better though. How do I know that? Car rides."

"And I'm really interested now, I really want to hear you." He smiles. "Show me, pretty please with sugar on top."
