"I asked you both, Dave." He took a stab in the dark, concentrating more now on not falling over as he stood up again to stand close.

Standing proved to be a stupid idea now though. Dave's (or was it Dirk's? Who was who?) blurred in and out of focused and then went completely wonky.

Whoa that's the roof. Now it's a black roof. Who the fuck has black roof's?

Dirk smirked now, raising a brow. "Who says I'm Dave?"

Soon all the eyebrows were raising though, because wow what the fuck happened.

Dave threw his shades on the couch and rushed to Eridan's side, holding his head up. "Eridan? Shit are you okay?" Dirk was still pretty lost.

2015-10-08 05:29:49

🌀

Eridan was out of it. Completely gone to the world.

He was still breathing though, he's alive, but not running at the temperature he should be. His skin felt almost lukewarm, and only the makeup hid the tired look of his face.

2015-10-08 05:36:15

●

Dave quickly said his goodbyes, and grabbed his own shades so that he could take Eridan home. He needed to chill, and if he didn't wake up in a reasonable period of time, he'd do something about it.

Dave ends up stripping him and dressing him up in Dave's clothe, since it had practically become his own, and puts him to bed. The hell sparked this reaction though?

🌀

Eridan didn't wake the entire time Dave moved or changed him in and out of clothes. His fish were panicking up a storm, bubbling and swimming around frantically. While they were glad to see him asleep, Dave's worried expression made them panic.

His computer was still on from before he left, showing an alarm in the bottom corner with a reminder to 'stay awake' and his course work onscreen.

2015-10-08 05:49:45

●

Dave frowns when he notices the computer, and suddenly kinda understands what's up. He hasn't been sleeping. For how long? No idea. Why? Who really knows, but he needs to sleep, and Dave isn't going to wake him up.

After a shower, to get rid of everything on his face and hair, he gets some boxers on, and gets in bed with Eridan, hugging him around his middle so that he'd feel safer, and he tries to relax.

2015-10-08 05:53:33

🌀

Eridan didn't even notice. He was dead to the world. Oblivious to everyone.

It wasn't until a few hours later that he roused briefly. He shifted, blinking blearily at whoever was hugging him. He tried to raise a hand, but found the action too hard on his exhausted body.

2015-10-08 05:57:24

●

Now it was Dave's turn to play the no sleep game, since he had only been watching over him for the time being.

Once he shifted, Dave kissed his shoulder, muttering a soft "it's just me."

2015-10-08 05:58:42

🌀

He groaned softly, blinking again and trying to see him properly. "W-wha?" He finally got a hand moving, trying to push himself up to sit.

2015-10-08 06:03:54

●

Dave frowned, and carefully pushed Eridan back down, covering him properly. "Sleep, you need more sleep."

2015-10-08 06:04:42

🌀

He shook his head quickly, groaning a little as the movement sent his vision haywire again. "Nah I'm fine Dave. I've slept enough last night." Blatant lie, and the fact that he couldn't even fight Dave pushing him down showed that.

2015-10-08 06:10:26

●

"I wasn't asking. It was more of a demand, really." Dave stroked his cheek in slow movements, and kissed his temple. "Please, for me."

2015-10-08 06:12:33

🌀

"No. I'm fine." He shook his head, pushing at his hand now weakly so that he could get up and go take a shower or something. Do something to wake up. Anything to stop sleep.

2015-10-08 06:16:26

●

Dave straddled him, making it way harder to get up. "Why don't you want to sleep? Since when have you stopped doing it again?"

2015-10-08 06:34:21

🌀

"I have been sleeping." He couldn't even look him the eye. He struggled under him, pushing at his chest with weak movements. "C'mon Dave get off me."

2015-10-08 06:44:43

●

"Eridan, please don't lie to me." He didn't sound angry, just disappointed. "Tell me why. Is it because of your dreams?"

2015-10-08 06:48:32

🌀

He squirmed again, pushing against him with more intent. "I'm fine. Don't worry Dave." The entire point of this was to stop Dave worrying over him freaking out over his dreams. He even took precautions to make sure he didn't look tired. "Dave c'mon. Please get off."

2015-10-08 06:51:17

●

"You passed the fuck out back at Dirk's place, so you either think I'm stupid and that I'll buy that, or you like to pretend I'm stupid and would like me to buy that. My wallet is empty Eridan, I won't buy shit."

He gave him a pitiful look, sighing. "Tell me what's up. You know you can trust me." And he wasn't going to get off while Eridan was trying to plan his escape, so he might as well.

2015-10-08 06:53:24

🌀

He winced and pressed a hand over his eyes. Fuck. He did not want to do that. He remembered making sure he wouldn't collapse.

"I don't think you're stupid. Not at all. But you haven't noticed at all so I thought I was doing a good job."

He rubbed at his face almost angrily, and felt the makeup that was still there. Maybe he could still get away with it?

But then again, Dave deserved to know.

He kept his hand over his eyes and said in a small voice, "... Since my last nightmare. When you went and fought Sollux."

2015-10-08 07:03:53

●

"What?" He sounded nearly offended. "You haven't been sleeping for a whole month? Eridan what the hell!" He pulled a face, and groaned in frustration. "What, did you think you could just not sleep forever? Is that it?"

2015-10-08 07:08:40

🌀

He covered his face now, fins pulled back and his expression meek behind his hands.

He knew it was a ridicules notion, but he still did it. He muttered an almost inaudible 'sorry', wanting to just curl up in a ball and hide now.

2015-10-08 07:12:21

●

"Just- I'm worried about you. You really, really need to sleep." He got off of Eridan, and adjusted the covers. "... do you think you'd sleep better at sea?"

2015-10-08 07:13:49

🌀

He curled up in a ball once Dave was off of him, still covering his face and wanting to just go hide under the covers. Useless body uselessly wanting to sleep.

He shrugged, dropping his hands a little and glancing up at him.

2015-10-08 07:16:22

"We could try it. Actually, I want to try it, we never really did go to the island again. We'll go tomorrow, you're way ahead with work either way."

2015-10-08 07:18:30

🌀

"But you're not ahead with your work." He protested, pushing himself to sit up. "I'm not gonna make you miss out on stuff Dave. I'm fine." He obviously wasn't and fuck, going to the island sounded so good right now.
