He hummed in reply, moving to lie on the less hurting side and curl up with his head on Dave's lap.

Dave petted his hair, humming softly once more to lul Eridan to sleep as he waited for Rose to reply.

2015-10-01 11:33:53

🌀

Eridan curled closer, sighing softly and eventually ignored the pain enough to fall back asleep.

"Kanaya is rather angry. It's disconcerning."

"Is Eridan alright? She's muttering some rather nasty things."

"I understood they hated him but this is a bit far fetched."

2015-10-01 11:53:08

●

"Rose I believe you won't like this."

"But fuck her. No seriously, fuck her with a spike. She was just watching Eridan be beat up, I don't want to see her face."

2015-10-01 11:54:07

🌀

"She just confirmed that she did nothing and wasn't planning on stepping in to stop it."

"I'm sorry Dave, truly. I don't quite like Eridan but even I wouldn't go to these lengths."

"She'll probably feel marginally guilty once she's calmed down, she has an odd mothering instinct like that, despite who it is."

2015-10-01 11:57:24

●

"She better feel the guilt weight her ass down into the bottom of the ocean, like a fat dude just sat on her."

"Actually I hope that happens too. He would have died, rose. At least lispy will be missing a couple of teeth." Dave was seriously proud of that.

"How is he btw."

2015-10-01 11:59:40

🌀

"I had to ask who lispy is. He's alive, rather in pain at the moment and for the time being unable to use his psionics. I think you hit him hard enough Dave."

"Kanaya says you didn't arrive until Sollux was well into beating Eridan up, so I assume you decided to ignore Eridan's stay away policy and burst in like the knight you frequently deem yourself to be."

2015-10-01 12:03:33

●

"Good."

"Also yeah, but he was going to die. He sent me away like I was the one that would die if I didn't leave."

"I did what I had to. I know kick box for a reason."

"And the dude is hella scrawny, I got him down with two or three hits."

"And I tripped him."

2015-10-01 12:05:28

🌀

"You should know by now how strong high bloods are Dave, he probably wouldn't have died. They would've stopped eventually."

"He really does care for you, it seems. It's rather discomforting, choosing who's word to trust, yours or Kanaya's. I can understand both of your points better now, and both weigh a good argument."

"He sounds like he could be, and you'll excuse my impression, a right two faced bastard to whoever he wanted to."

"You seem oddly proud of that Dave, tripping a troll."

2015-10-01 12:09:15

●

"Maybe, maybe not. I choose to trust the guy that cares for me, not the vampire chick that watches people get fucked up and kicks them when they're down."

"I did kick him too though"

"I am. Very proud."

2015-10-01 12:11:00

🌀

"Fair enough."

"I'm contemplating the thought of actually having a normal conversation with your boyfriend one time. On an unrelated topic of marginal interest and without either Kanaya's input or yours."

"I feel like there's a joke there but I'm not getting into that."

2015-10-01 12:13:29

●

"You could. He writes wizard fanfic. Not literal one like you, but he's into writing and shit. And science apparently."

"And scarves. He made one"

"Anyway yeah, let's not get into details."

2015-10-01 12:16:12

🌀

"I write one wizarding fanfiction and you never let it go."

"My scarf is probably better. The ones I've heard he wears are generally store bought and trashy."

"Good."

2015-10-01 12:17:44

●

"It had weird wizard butt sex and I was like 13. You're not living that down."

"He made one. So have you."

"Anyway, he's sleeping, I think I'm gonna go. Make sure Kanaya doesn't kill lispy."

"Or don't, I don't care."

2015-10-01 12:19:26

🌀

"You'll forever hold your tongue on that Dave Strider or I'm bringing up the folder of the files you sent me where you attempted to imitate your brother in everything."

"Mine is better."

"Alright, I'll speak to you again. I'll probably try to calm Kanaya down, maybe go for a blood sundae at that place opposite the park."

"Ta ta Dave."

2015-10-01 12:22:35

●

"Never. Plus I'm an open book, and that video is full of irony."

"I can't take sides."

"Later lalonde."

He puts the phone away, and glances down to check if he's sleeping.

2015-10-01 12:24:49

🌀

Eridan had woken up again at one point, and was just staring blankly ahead. If he didn't move, he wouldn't be in pain. He felt Dave shift to put his phone away, and made a low questioning noise.

2015-10-01 12:26:23

●

"Just texting rose." He bends down to kiss his temple. "Sollux can't use his psionics for now, that's always great. I fucked up someone with super powers."

2015-10-01 12:27:30

🌀

He managed a smile, turning his head enough so he could kiss him properly. He had a split lip, and it stung briefly as they kissed. Asshole wounds are assholes. "Good job."

2015-10-01 12:29:42

●

Dave kissed him with a soft smile. "Thanks. Didn't do more because Kanaya was a killjoy."

He nuzzled his cheek, kissing it

2015-10-01 12:31:43

🌀

"You did enough. Love you." He tried to move so he could sit up and hug him, frowning in annoyance as the pain flared up again.

2015-10-01 12:32:28

●

"I love you too."

He makes a face as Eridan tries to sit up, but just lets him, and kisses him."

2015-10-01 12:34:08

🌀

He managed to get himself upright and into Dave's lap, cuddling up to him a little more and pressing a tired kiss to his jaw. "S'hard to sleep. Everythin' still hurts."

2015-10-01 12:35:06

●

"I know, I'm sorry baby" he cuddles Eridan, nuzzling his shoulder. "At least you heal fast"

2015-10-01 12:42:43

🌀

He hummed softly in agreement, hidding his face agaubst his shoulder. Healing fast just meant it was exactly that, quicker. It hurt just as much, maybe if not more.
