Needless to say that Dave was more than pissed. He wanted to fuck up a certain spider now. She'd probably fuck him up though. Dave just advised him to break it all up with her, seeing as John could do much better, and ended the chat to go take a shower and relax.

Eridan arrived back at Dave's apartment in a sour mood, and took a few moments to just calm himself before he gathered all the bags of kitchenware he'd bought and the ingredients he would need for a peach pie before heading up the stairs. He shut the door behind him, heading to the kitchen to place it all on the counter.

●

By the time Eridan was back, Dave was chilling in the kitchen in his boxers, drinking some AJ. He raised his hand as a greeting. "Hey."

2016-04-13 11:45:47

🌀

Eridan sighed and dropped into the seat next to him, pulling Dave close so that he could rest his head on his shoulder and hug him.

2016-04-13 11:56:46

●

Dave was once again worried, and he hugged him back reassuringly. "Hey, Eridan, are you ok?"

2016-04-13 12:19:42

🌀

He shook his head and just hugged Dave tighter. Eventually, he calmed enough to sit properly, but held onto Dave's hand. "Sorry. Needed that."

2016-04-13 12:55:16

●

Dave squeezes his hand as Eridan stops hugging him, looking worried. "Don't apologise, what happened?" He moved to hold it with both hands now.

2016-04-13 16:26:19

🌀

"Vriska happened." He rested his forehead against his shoulder, sighing. "Stupid bitch." He muttered, lacing his fingers with Dave's.

2016-04-13 22:19:51

●

"Seems like she's made problems for two people now. Do I have to stomp on a spider?" He wrapped an arm around Eridan's shoulders, holding him in a protective way.

2016-04-14 06:58:18

🌀

"She'll hurt you. She's got some sort of stupid ass mind mutation which allows her to temporarily control people. Especially those in lower castes than her. Never worked on me because I was too high, but I hate to think what she'd do to you."

2016-04-14 07:12:43

●

"Then I'll get John to shove a cake in her face or something. It's the perfect parting gift for a dramatic break up." He was trying to cheer him up, but it probably wasnt working. "But what did she do?"

2016-04-14 09:14:24

🌀

It wasn't. Or, not a whole lot anyway. "She was telling me how worthless I am again. And a bunch of other stuff that mostly is just repeats from what she told me when we were black." He didn't really want to tell Dave in detail, because then he'll probably end up telling him that he used to really believe everything she had said about him or to him and he'd only stopped believing it because Sollux literally wouldn't go near him, for sex or black makeouts, when he found out about it.

2016-04-14 09:45:45

●

Dave frowned, but ended up just sighing as he kissed his temple. "Anything she said isn't truth. John... told me that she was... well, a real bitch to you. Do you want to go cuddle? Chocolate? What would help?"

2016-04-14 09:48:50

🌀

"Some of it is probably true. But yeah, she's a real bitch. Manipulative as well when she wants to be. She pushed Tavros down a flight of stairs when we were younger. While he was in his wheelchair still." He didn't really want to move, but Dave probably had things to do and he did still need to bake that pie. "C'mon. Let's go bake pie."

2016-04-14 09:50:23

●

"Jesus Christ, you didn't you tell me that before? I wouldn't have let John even come close to her." He sounded worried though, not angry. "Why do they put up with her but treat you like shit?"

He shook his head. "It's fine, we can do it later. Well do whatever you want."

2016-04-14 09:56:31

🌀

"She never really whined and bitched and complained and annoying everyone like I did. I was a real brat when I was a kid. She was too, but not as bad as I was I guess. At least I assume I was worse, she at least was better friends with them, like Kan and Terezi. I don't know." He shrugged, running his fingers through his hair.

"It's fine. I'll be fine in a bit. We can go cook that pie." He just felt tired and drained and had the sour feeling in his belly like he always does whenever he meets one of them now.

2016-04-14 10:01:23

●

Dave squeezed his hand a bit, and tried to read him. His expression said he was tired. Being tired can be fixed by cuddles, usually. "Come here."

He moves so that he's hugging Eridan now, rubbing his back.

2016-04-14 11:11:30

🌀

Eridan moved over so that he was in Dave's lap now, practically curling up on himself and leaning against him. He tucked his head under his chin, mindful with his horns and just... slumped really.

2016-04-14 11:15:18

●

Dave hugged him tight, pressing kisses to his hair, and just let him stay there. "You want to move to somewhere else? Bed? Couch?"

2016-04-14 11:21:00

🌀

"Couch?" He just wanted to curl up and forget that he'd bumped into Vriska. She always ruined his mood.

2016-04-14 11:21:52

●

With some effort on his part, he got up with him in his arms, and moved to be on the couch with him, muttering little sweet things.

2016-04-14 11:23:52

🌀

Eridan clung to Dave, his face pressed against his shoulder as they headed to the couch. Once they were there he stretched out a little, sighing as he curled up against Dave.

2016-04-14 11:25:16

●

He started rubbing Eridan's horns once more, curious to see if that would help calm him down.

2016-04-14 11:28:08

🌀

It did help him relax. A lot. But he shifted his head away, reaching up with his hand to bat Dave's away with a warning "don't. Not now". It made him sleepy, and made him feel more relaxed than he felt he should. Plus there was only so many horn touches he could deal with in twenty four hours.

2016-04-14 11:29:17

●

He muttered an apology, going back to just hugging him. He didn't understand why though. Wasn't it supposed to be nice? He supposed he couldn't read Eridan's mind.
