He laughs a bit, nuzzling his shoulder. Eridan's skin left a salty taste on his lips after he kissed it, but it was alright. He kinda liked it. He moved to the side though, just leaning against him again.

He was pretty glad that Sollux was interested, but it really only confirmed his suspicion that he probaly still felt something for Eridan, at least a bit. Not like Dave minded it much. "You want to show him?"

🌀

Eridan glanced at Dave in surprise, shifting his gaze to Sollux quickly before looking ahead again. Sollux didn't miss the wary look that flitted over his face. He remembered another place, another situation with that look. It wasn't a good time.

Still, Eridan shrugged. "Fine. Can't believe you're wanting me to be an exhibitionist though." He teased. He shifted so that Sollux could see his back. His shoulders were tense, especially with showing his unprotected back to someone who'd beat him up. He contemplated showing off the one on his thigh, but decided against it. That would mean pulling up the leg of his swim shorts and these were already form fitting.

Dave smiled, holding his hand once Eridan had turned around, and giving it a squeeze of reassurance. Eridan had more than a couple of reasons to be wary, but still, Dave wouldn't let anything happen to him. "Of course I do, you learned how to do tattoos to tattoo yourself like the hardcore fish-guy you are. I want to show you off all I can."

2016-04-16 12:51:16

🌀

"Some trolls wouldn't let me get tattooed by a professionalist even if I asked nicely." He glanced over his shoulder at Sollux, figuring that he'd seen it well enough to shift to be facing properly. Sollux had the audacity to look slightly mollified. "And the only troll who I knew did it professionally hated me and Cronus, so fuck going to her."

"Porrim'th thorta calmed down a bit now. She wath talking to MT about Cronuth. It wath odd apparently."

2016-04-16 12:53:54

●

Dave was a bit surprised that they were talking calmly about this. Wow. He pressed a kiss to Eridan's cheek, and squeezed his hand. "You did it better than she would have, honestly. It has your touch to it." He tried to make him feel better about that. "Plus, if you didn't learn how to make tattoos, I wouldn't have two of them right now."

2016-04-16 12:58:15

🌀

"You would have still had gotten tattoos. And they might have even been better, depending on where you went to." He nudged Dave a little, smiling a little again at him before his attention turned to the islands that were slowly coming into view.

Sollux was having a very intense internal debate over a certain fish at the moment, and had tuned them out.

2016-04-16 13:02:59

●

"No I wouldn't, having them made by you is part of why I got them. Otherwise I would have waited for ages." He smiles wider. He leaves Eridan alone though, so that he can do whatever he wants to the boat. They are getting closer after all, it shouldn't take much longer now. He just sits back, eyes closed, feeling the breeze with a pleased smile.

2016-04-16 13:04:54

🌀

Eridan kept his arm slung over Dave's shoulders, but he didn't say anything else until the islands were in clear detail and he stood up to maneuver Sabriel into the same spot they usually anchored in. Sollux had shaken himself out of his debate to have a look around, a little awed at the scenery.

2016-04-16 13:09:01

●

He let his mind go blank as he waited, random thoughts coming in and out as he pleased, but as the sound of seagulls got closer, he opened his eyes, a soft smile taking over his expression. A smile softer than Sollux had ever seen, probably, after all, that was their island, and it was gorgeous.

"Food time." Dave declared, going into the kitchenette to go grab them something to eat. After a look around, he announced. "Alright people, we have pringles, gummy bears, chicken, and some pre-made omellete sandwiches. Who wants what?"

2016-04-16 13:11:19

🌀

"Pringles." Eridan called immediately. "And the original kind. None of your sour cream bullshit." He was setting the anchor at the front, making sure it was good before coming back and testing it with reverse and going forward. Once he was happy he killed the engine and dropped down to lie on the bench. Sollux was still looking around, but he called out for gummy bears to be brought up as well.

"Thith ith where you ethcaped to thothe timeth?"

2016-04-16 13:13:20

●

Dave rolls his eyes and snorts. "Yeah , nearly forgot for a second that you're both skinny things that dont eat properly. Whatever." He gets a sandwich and AJ for himself as he starts making his way back up, and hands out the stuff to Eridan and Sollux. He sat next to Eridan, petting his hair a bit before he started eating.

2016-04-16 13:33:31

🌀

"Fuck you I'm not skinny." He was just lean. There's a difference. Not an overly large one, seeing as he weighed nearly as much as Sollux, but he also had a different bone structure and was just lighter than warmbloods in general. Eridan took his pringles with a smile, shifting to lean against Dave. Sollux stuck his feet in Dave's lap as he opened the gummy bears, munching on the yellow ones first.

2016-04-16 13:38:43

●

"You are a pole. You both are. Fuck, do I have a thing for poles?" He sighs as he bites into his food, leaning against Eridan as well. He kept a hand on Sollux's leg, just resting there. This was pretty peaceful.

2016-04-16 13:41:02

🌀

Eridan smirked and Sollux snickered, both looking at Dave with raised brows. "No but I'd say you're into some hentai sorta shit." Eridan remarked, nudging him playfully. Sollux chucks a gummy bear at him, still snickering.

2016-04-16 13:42:34

●

"That is probably the realest shit anyone has ever said." He grins, laughing as he gets nudged and stuff thrown at him. He catches the gummy bear though, popping it into his mouth with a pleased hum.

Dave decides he still isn't fully comfortable hanging around Sollux without shades, but fuck it, he should at least try, right? After all, it had done wonders for his and Eridan's relationship. He takes a few more seconds to think about that, and finally takes them off, putting them to the side as he eats.

2016-04-16 13:45:24

🌀

Eridan's a little jealous that Dave lost the shades around Sollux quicker than he did with him, but he tries to get over it. Dave's his own person after all, and true, Sollux isn't really as intimidating as a seadweller.

He turns his attention to looking out over the water again, sighing softly. "So. We going snorkling after food?" He tried not to sound hopeful, but he hadn't had a chance to go proper swimming since last time he and Dave went out on the water, and the earlier dip wasn't enough to satisfy him.

2016-04-16 13:49:11

●

Quite honestly, he might not even take his shades around Sollux if it wasn't for Eridan easing his insecurities. So if anything, Eridan should feel awesome. And technically, he did take months to get them off with Sollux, while he took them off a couple of days after he met Eridan, and left them off.

"Only if you cook it." Dave hums, and kisses his shoulder. "Plus, I don't really want to see you kill fish, so... I'd stay here."

2016-04-16 13:52:11

🌀

"We'll have fish tomorrow night. We'll have the chicken tonight." He pressed a kiss to Dave's temple in return, glancing out over the water.

"And I was sorta counting what we're eating now as food, as opposed to eating anything fancier." He ate a few more pringles once he was done talking. Sollux floated up a sandwich for himself at that, deciding that if he has to swim he wants to at least eat something properly.

2016-04-16 22:11:40

●

He smiles, nodding, and settles for going back to his lap now that he can. Dave is really just as clingy as Eridan, or maybe more, physically. Difference is, he's open about it now.

"Oh look, the pole has decided to step out of it's comfort zone. Lets observe it." He mutters, staring at Sollux.

2016-04-16 22:23:31

🌀

Sollux simply stared back at him while he slowly ate his sandwich, and then flicked his nose with psionics, messing up his hair straight after. "Shouldn't you be making thure the other pole eatth thomething practical inthtead of shitty chipth?"

"Pringles aren't shitty."

2016-04-16 22:37:04

●

Dave laughs, trying to fix his hair. Now that his shades are off, his smiles seem genuine, which is odd to anyone who hasn't seen him with his shades off. So, anyone who isn't Eridan. "Damn, pole number 2 is right. Here, you need to be a strong, healthy pole."

He offers some of his sandwich to Eridan, and steals some pringles for himself.

2016-04-16 22:39:02

🌀

Eridan rolls his eyes at them both, pushing Dave's hand away with the sandwich and shaking his head. "I snacked on the way over." He didn't, but it was a believable excuse. After all, he did go swimming.

And he wanted to go swimming again. Now. "Right. You lot get changed, and you can get Sollux sorted out with the mouthpiece or whatever you've got him." He nudged Dave gently, closing the Pringles tub.

2016-04-16 23:45:12

●

Dave rolls his eyes, but he supposes that Eridan deserves this. He can eat more when they come back. "Aye aye captain, you follow me, bean pole number two."

He got up, ruffling Eridan's now curly hair, and headed for their cabin. He says "their" because Sollux and him both left their stuff there for now. He gets them both goggles and a mouth piece, handing Sollux his. "Got them in red just for you." He teased.

2016-04-16 23:52:49

🌀

Sollux rolled his eyes at them both, but got up to follow Dave. He changed quickly, pulling on a sun top and the board shorts that he had to go out an buy because he didn't own a pair. He rolled his eyes at Dave, but took the mouth piece and goggles.

Eridan was in the water already by the time they came out, and he grinned sheepishly up at Dave from where he was floating. "You're both so slow."

2016-04-17 00:58:11

●

Dave was already in his swimming trunks, so he just had to put on the goggles. He smiled once he saw Eridan, but only to put on the mouth piece and cannon-ball himself into the water to make it splash all over Eridan.
