"It was pretty good, nearly no one came it. It was oddly calm today." He says as he heads for the marina, wondering if Dirk is playing with the seagulls.

"Probably all getting ready for the school rush or so." He tapped his finger to a rhythmless beat, watching everything go past by his window as they drove to the marina.

●

"No idea, but it was chill."

They got there in no time, and he parked near the small shop. Dirk was waiting by the door, toying with the straps from his hoodie

2015-09-10 05:19:53

🌀

He got out of the car once it stopped, waiting for Dave before he walked off with him. He saw who he assumed was Dirk. They looked the same, Dave and Dirk, but Dirk's shades were the weird pointy ones he'd seen in the photos Dave shared ages ago.

●

He walks over and flicks Dirk's forehead to get his attention, getting him to jump a little. "Wakey Wakey food and me."

He glanced up, pretending he didn't scare him whatsoever, and let the hoodie down. "Sup." He nods towards them in acknowledgment "You must be the Eridan guy." He glances up when he says that. Shit, he's the troll version of the empire state building.

🌀

Heh. He glanced up, and then up and up. Such small people.

"The Eridan guy." He raises an eyebrow, but shrugs and nods. "You must be the relation of Dave's that he said was 'odd'." He studied him over, standing next to Dave before shrigging and relaxing a little.

●

"Dirk, that's it." Dirk nods. Dave was about to hold Eridan's hand out of impulse, but kept his hands in his pockets because he realized it soon enough. "Now that you guys know each other since forever and are practically besties, let's go get food." Dirk nods again, smirking a bit. "I bet I can finish mine faster than you two."

2015-09-10 21:08:02

🌀

He kept his hand loose, forcibly held rigid by his side in an attempt not to grab for Dave. That would be bad, probably. Man secret relationships are hard.

Dirks words made him raise both brows and scoff. "I sincerely doubt that. But do your best." When he's in a rush, he can finish a meal like fish and chips in under four minutes.

2015-09-10 21:12:13

●

Dirk snorts with a smirk. "Let's see which one is the real champion." Once he turns to walk into the store, Dave bumps against Eridan teasingly, smirking to himself, and soon following.

2015-09-10 21:13:45

🌀

Eridan grabs for his hand and squeezes, smiling at him before following them both. He waved to the guy behind the counter, noting how busy it was. "I think it's gonna be more of a contest as to whose gonna get their food first."

2015-09-10 21:16:26

●

Dave keeps their hands hidden behind his open jacket, nearly squeezed between them.

Dirk nods and leans against a wall, clearly not noticing that anything was going down between Dave and Eridan. "I'm not in a rush, it's all good." Dirk says.

2015-09-10 21:19:29

🌀

He squeezed his fingers in return, catching the eye of the man behind the counter again. "What do you lot want? I can get it quicker than the line."

2015-09-10 22:07:08

●

"Aw hell yeah, Eridan privileges." Dave smirks. "Well, we all want fish and chips, and I want a coke, what about you?" He glances at Dirk.

"An orange fanta for me."

2015-09-10 22:08:36

🌀

He nodded, raising three fingers and gesturing with a circle. The guy nodded and he gestured for them both to follow him to the drinks fridge. "Who's paying?"

2015-09-10 22:13:51

●

Dave and Dirk looked at each other, and then Dirk reaches into his wallet to put the estimated amount on the counter. "We'll figure out how much you own me if you want to repay, but I don't mind. I have too much money." Dave nods, figuring he'd do that, and the guy gives Dirk his change, and drinks.

2015-09-10 22:16:03

🌀

Eridan just shrugged and let whoever pay, he took his drink (a honey and pear ice tea) and moved out of the way. "It'll take about ten, fifteen minutes. Local privileges."

2015-09-10 22:20:54

●

"See, I know all the right people." He points at Eridan, and grabs his drink afterwards. Dirk snickers softly. "Seems like you do, how did you two meet anyway, you're in Dave's class?"

2015-09-10 22:22:30

🌀

"Nah. Dave makes good coffee, and has an affinity for alliteration on trilobites and belemnites." He shrugged, sharing a smile with Dave. "He then continued to make good coffee and provided nice company."

2015-09-10 22:24:35

●

Dave tried not to smile, because holy shit that's nerdy, but he ends up doing it anyway.

Dirk snorts with laughter, shaking his head. "Wow you nerd. It's worse than I thought." Dave nudges him as he scoffs. "Says the dude with scalene triangle Kamina shades."

"Fair point."

2015-09-10 22:27:04

🌀

"I also seem to remember talk about dead people being poked." He grinned, opening up his drink and took a sip. He kept an ear out for their order, and rolled his eyes at the both of them.

2015-09-10 22:29:46

●

He nudges Eridan playfully, smirking to himself. "You remember nothing and need to be quiet right about now."

"No, please, tell me more about my dork ass cousin."

2015-09-10 22:31:32

🌀

"I have a hoard of blackmail photos from when we went put sailing." He grinned, fins wiggling a little as he glanced at Dave like a little shit.

"Breaking news, Strider's are capable of emotion other than stoicism and irony."

2015-09-11 01:05:39

●

Dirk gasps, and Dave reaches up to cover Eridan's mouth. "Ahah, no he doesn't, he's such a playful guy."

2015-09-11 01:06:21

🌀

His grin only widened, and he reached up to pull Dave's hand away. "Unfortunately for you, Dirk, I don't make it a habit going around showing photos of people sitting underwater with fish in their hair."

2015-09-11 01:17:34

●

Dave blushes a little, and shoves Eridan slightly, as if to say "shut up".

Dirk starts laughing, making Dave blush more, and he groans.
