Eridan wondered if he actually did want to get up and face Dave and talk and shit. He didn't want to see that expression on his boyfriend's face again, and he also didn't want to stay quiet and make Dave think he was pissed at him. So he sighed, hauling himself back up again and pulling on a shirt. He wanted a hoodie, but the only one he could see was Dave's, and if this were to turn bad, he didn't want it on.

It showed in his walk that he was in pain as he walked out of his room, but his face was carefully blank, only the bags still under his eyes showing that he had had a restless sleep.

He instantly regretted everything about how he reacted yesterday. "Hey, hey no no no, you can go back to bed its fine." Dave definitely sounded apologetic. He looked over at his stitched up fin, and wondered how bad that must have been to do alone. Oh well, that was all Eridan's stubbornness. "I'm sorry. Shit, I acted like an ass, I was just worried and angry and... I don't want to fight with you. But i get it if you're angry still."

🌀

He felt like he was going to cry, but all he did was move to lean against the wall instead of stand upright on his own. "It's fine. I'm not... I'm not angry. I was never angry at you, just the fact that you didn't understand." He crossed his arms over his chest, hugging himself a little. "I never meant to scare you. Highblood fights always end up with injuries and I was going to warn you that I was injured. Just after the fight. You weren't supposed to happen upon me at the place of the fight."

●

That would probably make him act more rational, but there's no telling if Dave would have still reacted the same way. "I'm not fond of fights in general. Or of seeing you hurt. Especially of seeing you hurt. I know, its your life and all, you make the decisions but.. I'd rather you didn't do it you know. Why did you even fight that guy?"

"It was a rematch. I fought that particular troll ages ago, he thought the circumstances under which I won unfair, so he asked for a rematch. I'm not a coward, and I'm not a sore winner, so I agreed. It's not the first fight I've been in, and it's definitely not the last. They're all, as far as highbloods go, pretty safe fights. There's always a couple'a muscles there to pull the fighters apart if it gets too dangerous." He moved to go sit on the couch, feeling too tired to stand.

2016-02-16 07:36:07

●

He sighed a little, nodding. Dave has no idea of what he thought was going on, really. He just knew someone hurt him, and he got pissed so fast. "Okay. That's... ok. I guess. Can you please sit down while we talk, you don't look like you're feeling too good. How's your fin?" He walked over to offer himself as support for Eridan to walk with.

"And it's not like I can't defend myself. Most of the fights I get into I win, so I was a bit confused as to why you were getting mad at me. I have told you I've been in fights before." He didn't want to just drape himself over Dave and expect him to move him or carry him or do shit for him, but the support was nice. "It's throbbing. I hate fin wounds. They always take forever to heal." He rubbed a hand over his face, sighing. "I'm sorry I snapped at you. I just didn't want you to get hurt, and sometimes when highbloods get in too much pain or angry, they can go out of control, insane basically. Usually they have moirails and shit to take care of that, but I only have you, and I didn't want to hurt you."

2016-02-16 07:45:39

●

"It's not that you can't defend yourself, its just... injuries in general. If someone I'm close to gets hurt in a fight, it just messes with me. I don't know. I'm sorry, either way." He helped him go back to bed, and looked positively more at ease when Eridan was under the blankets again. "Yeah, I get it. I wasn't acting too helpful either, just... like an asshole. And I'm sorry because if I wasn't an ass, you would have probably let me stitch you up and it would have been easier on your part."

2016-02-16 07:59:55

🌀

He reached out, and against his better judgement, pulled Dave down to lying next to him so that he could curl up against his side. "I'm sorry. I should've warned you beforehand, but I didn't think. I didn't know you would be anywhere near there, I thought you were still doing all your moving in crap and weren't going to be around." He sounded miserable, and hid his face against his shoulder briefly before remembering himself and pulling away.

2016-02-16 08:32:53

●

Dave didn't make a move to hug him because he was probably hurt, but he did inch closer to him. "It's alright, its not like its any of my business anyway. Sorry, I've been busy lately. And I missed you."

When Eridan pulled away, he reached over to cup his cheek, and leaned over him to kiss him

"I did take the fight because I was fine with a rematch, but also because I was bored. I would have organised it for later, be more prepared. I just went for it when it came in. There wasn't much else to do, and I didn't want to bother you." He admitted, fingers tracing patterns over his shirt.

He melted into the kiss a little, sighing in relief. "So you're not mad at me?"

2016-02-16 10:10:02

●

He smiled against his lips. "Never. And you should have called, I can always make time for you. But i also have to do a load of bullshit for the house. "You can rely on me and talk to me, you're not bothering me."

2016-02-16 10:18:58

🌀

"I didn't want to bother you, or make you have to put things aside so you can spend time with me. I already got you the couch and stuff and helped you set it all up, and I didn't want to try and intrude more. It's your thing to do."

2016-02-16 10:20:08

●

"Well, I would have spent time with you. Honestly, I thought you'd be busy trying to catch up, but i should have made time. We haven't had a proper chat in weeks."

2016-02-16 11:43:39

"I caught up a while ago. I've just been spending my time looking through the websites for the shelters around here for kittens. I've been contemplating whether to get in touch with Nepeta to see if she's got any recommendations about any shelters in this area. But, I dunno. I don't really want to talk to any of them, lest it brings more drama. I know the fight won't bring drama, because they all know I do it."

2016-02-16 11:45:09

●

"I doubt asking about an animal would raise drama" he shrugs, carefully looping an arm around his middle. "We could go together if you want."

2016-02-16 11:57:18

🌀

He shifted to adjust Dave's arm so it wasn't pressing on the bruise on his side, and just sighed. "I guess. And yeah, I guess we could. Can I come with you if you get a dog?"

2016-02-16 11:59:37

●

He nods. "Yeah, but I've been having doubts about getting a dog. I don't have enough time in my hands to take care of a dog."

2016-02-16 12:00:15

🌀

"You go to classes, you go to work, you come home to a dog. You've got what, a whole night and most of a day really to take care of a dog?" He looked up at him, shifting a little more so he was comfortable. "If you get a trained dog, like a rescue hound or so, you wouldn't have to spend as much time teaching it not to piss on the carpet and then you can spend more time just loving the dog?"

2016-02-16 12:03:20

●

"But i also like to make music and spend time with you. I don't know, I don't think I have a life for a dog right now." He shrugs.

2016-02-16 12:05:27

🌀

Oh yeah. He forgot Dave has more of a life than he does. "There's always later. When you finish your course or drop work and do online mixing for companies or some shit like that."

2016-02-16 12:06:26

●

He laughs softly, and ends up shrugging. "I don't think I have time for dogs in the near future anyway. Maybe when we're old and on the run to Europe."

2016-02-16 13:33:46

🌀

That made him smile, and he closed his eyes as he shifted closer to Dave. "You're still set on that huh. Fine. We'll get a dog when we go running to wherever we go. But I still think you should get a pet. Like, something that doesn't require much taking care of maybe. Makes apartments a lot less lonely."

2016-02-16 13:35:42

●

"It won't be lonely. I think I'll be busy for the most part, honestly. Maybe I'll get a plant though. Or a robot. Dirk makes robots, did I mention?"

2016-02-16 13:38:12

🌀

"It gets lonely, trust me. I got lonely, and I'm the most anti-social creature ever." He yawned, curling up a little more comfortably. "Plants are good I guess. And no, you didn't."
