He opened his mouth to reply, but shut it again, thinking. He was still thinking a few minutes later. "Um.... I don't know. What can I do? I've sorta just shoved everything I've ever wanted to do out of the window because I knew they wouldn't let me."

"Well." He started, pressing a kiss to his cheek. "You could travel somewhere with Sabriel, you know, be all about that pirate life or something. You could also talk to actual people now without the concern of someone ruining their lives or their image of you. You can do anything you want."

"But I like going to the islands close to here. And people don't really like me regardless of them. Plus, social interaction is ont high on my want to do list." Still, the thought that he could have more friends, actual friends, was equal parts exciting and terrifying.

"Please, as if you wouldn't like having someone to nerd out with over science and fish." He smiles, resting his head on Eridan's shoulder. "Point is, you can do whatever you like."

2016-04-01 23:47:54

🌀

"Don't I have you for that? Even though you probably only listen and then forget about my blatherings when we change topics." He raised a hand to comb through his hair, smiling a little. "That's a lot of freedom. I don't even know if I'll do anything."

2016-04-02 00:03:13

●

Dave kissed the crook of his neck, humming in agreement. "You do, but I'm not all that into sciency shit, and I don't know much about fish. I'm sure you'd like to talk to people who know about the things you like." He leaned into the touch, utterly happy.

2016-04-02 00:09:14

🌀

"Like who? I'm not very good at social interaction, you know that. And where am I supposed to find someone who already knows me, and can somewhat tolerate me who also likes some form of science? I only know those assholes and your friends, and I only know your friends by name basis."

2016-04-02 00:10:42

●

"Make friends, duh." He laughed a bit, as if it was obvious. "I can present you to some people that work with me at the coffee shop, like I've offered before. They're pretty cool."

2016-04-02 00:12:37

🌀

"Are they science-y and or like fish?" It wasn't that he was completely opposed to the idea of making new friends, he was just... not good at it. Or at keeping friends. He only talked with Dave after all, and any more people sounded like a bit of a chore.

2016-04-02 00:13:48

●

"Well, they're... interesting." He shrugged. "There's one there that really likes body mods. And he's really into comic books. He's a troll by the way, a... I don't know, some type of brown blood. I think he called it bronze just for shits and giggles." He shrugs. "There's also this dude there that is really into tactical games, it's kinda weird, and he likes stuff that involves smarts, so you might like him. He's kind of a dick though."

2016-04-02 00:23:30

🌀

"Honestly, the brief interactions I have with Sollux now are enough dick-ness that I don't think I want to go associate with more, sorry." he shrugged, nuzzling Dave's cheek. "It's not like I need friends. I do have you, and the fish after all." Which was stupid and pretty sad now that he thought about it.

2016-04-02 13:01:08

●

"Of course you need friends. Everyone does." He rolls his eyes, moving to be petting his hair. "Yeah, you are going to meet my coworkers, and its going to be awesome."

2016-04-02 16:03:16

🌀

"No I don't. I have more than enough friends now. I don't meed more." He pouted at him, though his face was instantly relaxed from the gentle hair pets.

2016-04-02 22:12:31

●

Dave smirked as he watched the gentle expression on Eridan's face, and kissed the tip of his nose. "No ifs or buts. I have a shift tonight, starting at 7, ending at midnight. You could come pick me up."

2016-04-02 22:48:25

🌀

"Who the fuck finishes at midnight?" He mumbled, leaning against Dave for more of the hair pets. "Plus what if I'm asleep by then?" He probably wouldn't be, because sleep was coming to him less and less these days, again.

2016-04-02 23:04:49

●

"Me, apparently." He shrugs, now petting his hair with both hands. "Please, are you even being serious right now? You gotta try to actually be convincing." He teases with a smile

2016-04-02 23:06:24

🌀

"I don't wanna meet new people." He was full on pouting by now, though it was a struggle to hold with how Dave's hands in his hair utterly relaxed him. "They don't like me."

2016-04-02 23:12:13

●

Dave pressed more kisses to his face, humming. "You don't know that. Also Harley has been talking about wanting to visit the island, so we could all go when we're done with exams and all."

2016-04-02 23:14:02

🌀

"I do know that. I have a rather wide range of experience Dave." His voice was quiet, low as he closed his eyes and leaned into Dave. "As long as it's good with your boss. I don't want to get you in trouble."

2016-04-02 23:43:18

●

"No you don't. Like what... 20 something people don't count as experience." He pressed kisses along his cheeks and nose, liking how cat-like Eridan was right now. "Yeah, it will be. I can take vacations in the summer, probably. It's only a part time job."

2016-04-02 23:45:36

🌀

"That's just the people you're aware of Dave. I have interacted with more than twenty people in my life." He opened his eyes just to roll them, relaxing against Dave more now. "Is Jade any good at science-y things? Can I just go to her, she somewhat tolerates me, right?"

2016-04-03 00:11:21

●

"Jade is pretty into science. She messes around with robotic things and the like a lot. She even built a robot of herself."

2016-04-03 00:16:03

🌀

"Cool." He wasn't too up to speaking now that he was getting nice comfortable attention and pets. "Maybe I'll ask her if she knows anything about fish and whether she'll be able to make some sort of feeders and regulators that'll work better than store bought ones."

2016-04-03 00:17:53

●

"She probably can, honestly. Just talk to people like you talk to me and you'll be fine. Just keep the 'I love you's for me though." He smiled, kissing the top of his head.

2016-04-03 00:19:52

🌀

"I don't like talking to people." He was like a little sulky child who was told he had to go to the doctors. "I always end up pissing them off one way or another, and you can't even deny that because I know I've pissed you off before."
