"Your brother, for one, lookth like he thtill ith a big thing in your life. You thtill feel the need to be good enough to pleathe him. Am I right yet?" He sat forward a little, one brow arched. "You went with Eridan that firtht time becauthe he provided an ethcape where you brother couldn't follow."

●

Dave instantly looses all expression. No one is supposed to know about that. "What makes you think thats true?"

2016-04-12 07:59:29

"I wath there when your brother came with you, when you kicked my ath for kicking Eridan'th, remember?" His smirk isn't gloating, because he doesn't believe that this knowledge is something to gloat over. He just thinks its sad that this guy is still trying to please someone who doesn't care, and he wants to change that. Mostly by kicking his ass and with as many black makeouts as possible hopefully. "I thaw you look back towardth him a few timeth, a glanthe, to thee if he thought you were doing good."

●

He got up, taking his stuff with him. "You're bothering me while I work. Leave." He just said before going back behind the counter. He didn't want to talk about it, just the thought of it made a knot form in his throat, and he wanted to ignore it like the great emotional fuck up he was

🌀

Sollux's smile only grew a bit, and now he knew what he had to work with. He finished the last of the coffee in his cup, standing up and making his way back to the counter to pay. He smirked at Dave, blowing a mocking kiss as he handed over the exact change before turning on his heel and strolling casually out.

2016-04-12 08:04:38

●

He ignored Sollux full force, taking the money and going back to work, his mood ruined. His co-workers seemed to notice it, but none dared to ask.

At around 3, as promised, he was back home, and only not tired because he napped for most of the day.

🌀

Eridan was awake by the time Dave had come back, with his laptop that he'd ducked out to get on the counter in front of him. He had a packet of biscuits open and a large mug of tea in front of him. He looked up as Dave came home, the smile on his face fading a little when he saw his expression.

2016-04-12 08:07:25

●

Dave, on the other hand, smiled when he saw Eridan, both not wanting to bother him and happy to see him. "Hey babe. "

2016-04-12 08:11:31

🌀

"Hey. Cookie?" He held out the packet of biscuits, standing and coming over to Dave to hug him and kiss his cheek.

2016-04-12 08:13:31

●

Dave hugged him right away, wanting all of the attention he had to offer. "All of the cookies." He nodded, and kissed his chest.

2016-04-12 08:15:35

🌀

"How was work?" He nuzzled the top of his head, holding him close. "Sorry, I think I sent Sol off to you. He came in here looking for you, but I told him to fuck off because you were at work."

2016-04-12 08:16:48

●

"Shitty. It's fine though, he fucked off after a bit." He leaned up for a proper kiss, humming softly. He then stole a cookie, eating it all in one bite.

2016-04-12 08:18:37

🌀

His fins drooped a little and he kissed his forehead, pulling Dave over to sit at the counter while he put the kettle on for more hot water. "Do I need to go kick his ass?"

2016-04-12 08:19:32

●

Dave was happy to be taken care of, still affected by Sollux's words. He ate more cookies. "No, just. Stay here with me."

2016-04-12 08:35:37

🌀

"You sure?" He moved his chair closer to Dave's once he'd poured them both some tea. He looped an arm around his shoulders, leaning against him a little.

2016-04-12 09:04:15

●

Dave snuggled up against Eridan, dipping his cookies in tea before eating them. "I love you."

2016-04-12 09:07:33

🌀

Eridan kissed his temple, holding him close before turning his attention back to sipping his tea. "I love you too. Always."

2016-04-12 09:17:15

●

He closed his eyes? A small smile playing on his lips. "Were you in a blackrom with Sollux?"

2016-04-12 09:18:50

🌀

His shoulders stiffened a little, but he relaxed. "For a few years. He was a better pitch mate than Vriska."

2016-04-12 09:19:24

●

"Did it kinda work out?" He was curious now. "Do I have to kick his ass?"

2016-04-12 09:21:44

🌀

He was a bit hesitant to talk about it, but decided Dave was better knowing. "Like I said, he was better than Vriska. Only reason we cut it off was because he sided with them when I was attacked. He said I was too large of a problem to fix by himself and cut it off."

2016-04-12 09:25:48

●

He nods, going to hold one of his hands. "So it could have worked? Do you still like him? Or hate him, whatever."

2016-04-12 09:26:35

🌀

He shrugged. "I was never good with quadrants. Using Sol's words, I smeared them. Mixed them. There were a few times when we were black when I went over once and he'd been on a coding binge and forget to eat and sleep and everything and I felt really pale for him."

He shrugged again. "His duality shit made him flip red for me sometimes, and I didn't mind it. The sex was nicer then. He might flip on you too, but it never lasts long so don't worry." He didn't want to admit that he still had feelings for him.

2016-04-12 09:33:43

●

He nods, giving his hand a squeeze. "But do you like him? You know I don't mind, I just want to know." Yes he kinda minded, but if he was allowed to have another quadrant, so should Eridan. Even if it's pale.

2016-04-12 09:39:22

🌀

Eridan fiddled with Dave's fingers, thinking over his answer. He sighed, but nodded, leaning against Dave a little and resting his head on his shoulder. "It's stupid of me, I know. He'd never like me back anyway."
