Eridan grumbled softly to himself when he realised that he had no escape route. He simply sighed, managing to reach one of the blankets tangled at his feet and yanked it up to pull over himself. It was half over Dave and half over Sollux as well, but at least Eridan was warm now.

Sollux knew from experience that dating a seadweller involved a lot of warming them up, honestly. And cold cuddles. For a yellow blood like him at least they felt cold. Luckily enough, they seemed to warm up kinda fast.

Dave woke up a while later, blinking as he looked around. Where the fuck was h- oh Eridan's room, ok.

2016-06-13 08:42:35

🌀

By the time Dave woke up, both Eridan and Sollux were flat out asleep. Eridan had the kitten curled up against his hair, and his face seemed mostly peaceful, if a little bit worn down.

2016-06-13 09:32:01

●

Dave smiled a little, kissing Eridan's forehead before getting up, careful not to wake him up. He then fixed the blanket so that it was covering Eridan, and went to make himself a snack

2016-06-13 09:50:31

🌀

He stirred slightly when Dave left, making a soft noise in the back of his throat in complaint before just hugging the blanket. He ended up clutching at Sollux's hand instead of clutching at Dave, though it wasn't as good.

2016-06-13 09:51:28

●

Dave found that kind of cute, but hey, he was hungry.

Sollux on the other hand, when he woke up because of the slight noise Dave was doing, found it absolutely endearing. He moves them with psiionics to the kitchen, Eona as well, to see what Dave is up to.

2016-06-13 10:17:31

🌀

Eridan didn't wake up when they moved. He simply turned a little to curl up against Sollux, face tucked under his chin. Eona ended up cuddled up to his chest, and Eridan didn't even move once Sollux settled. It always takes a bit to wake him up after he's fallen asleep after not sleeping for a bit.

2016-06-13 10:22:02

●

Dave gestured for Sollux to not make a sound, since he wants Eridan to sleep, and hops up on the counter to eat a doughnut and sip on some chocolate milk.

2016-06-13 10:23:56

🌀

Sollux shifts Eridan a little so that he's supported with one arm and psionics, and takes a doughnut from the box to eat as well.

2016-06-13 10:26:24

●

"Slept well, Sparky the Android?" He teases, nearly whispering so that he wont disturb Eridan

2016-06-13 10:30:48

🌀

"Perfectly. Thank you for lending me your cold pack. I do have a complaint, it clings." He whispered back, grinning a little.

2016-06-13 10:35:31

●

Dave laughs a little, grinning back at him. "He's cute when he's sleeping. But he's even cuter when he sleeps after horn rubs."

2016-06-13 10:44:00

🌀

His expression twitched briefly, because damn that's a sure sign of trust if he's ever seen one. "I doubt he's going to let me near his horns any time soon, so I'll just have to take your word for it."

2016-06-13 10:44:42

●

"He doesn't purr very loudly, or very often. He also doesn't let me do it a lot, I think i only did it like twice, but yeah, good idea. I still dont get the thing with why horn rubs are so personal, id let anyone give me a massage."

2016-06-13 10:46:52

🌀

"It's more like..." He paused, frowning a little. "Okay, horns are hella easy to break if someone grabbed hard enough and yanked it in the opposite direction. Horns that are closer to the head are harder to break, unless they're hit with a heap of force. It's a whole trust thing. And while he knows that you probably would prefer to punch yourself in the face instead of hurt him like that, it's also instinct. Plus I don't think Eridan likes being that relaxed. It's like letting your guard down to the lowest extremes and handing someone all the things that can hurt you and trusting them not to hurt you. Which is dumb, because horn rubs are the literal shit and need to happen often because they're a definite treat."

2016-06-13 10:51:16

●

"I could give you horn rubs, I'm into the hole purring deal, and you seem to to a lot of that. I'd think horns would be sturdy though... I mean... they look sturdy." He rose a brow, having a hard time believing that a strong race like troll-kind would have such an essential part of themselves be fragile like that.

2016-06-13 11:01:33

🌀

"They are strong. But like, look at Eridan's." He raised a hand and pointed at the end of the sleeping seadweller's horns. "See that shit? If some purple or blue blood were to grab the end of that, hold Eridan down and throw all their weight into pulling on it? Snapped. And then pretty much everyone will die because Eridan is scary when he goes full-crazy." He gently ran his fingers through said trolls hair. "It's not easy, but it is possible. Equius has a broken horn, but no one really knows how he broke it."

2016-06-13 11:03:50

●

He made a face when he imagined that, but nodded. "Yeah, I guess you're right. Then it doesn't really 'easily' break, that's like saying that you can 'easily' break all the bones of your body if you throw yourself from a height of 90m. That's a very specific thing you know. But yeah, as I said, I can give you horn rubs. And I don't even have the strength to to break horns if I wanted to, so everyone is safe."

2016-06-13 11:13:35

🌀

"Different measures of strength I guess. And horn rubs aren't really a black thing, but I doubt what we even have is black. It's like... we're just there and then occasionally squabbling. I don't know what that is. It doesn't fit with anything I know." He shrugged, simply returning to hugging Eridan close. "Though I'd probably let you give me a horn rub. I haven't had one in ages, but you're gonna have to make sure I'm not holding anything with psionics or you'll get zapped and everything will fall on the floor."

2016-06-13 11:25:52

●

He shrugs again, finishing his doughnut. "I don't care, I just want some sweet purring. Quadrants aren't my real mom, they can't give me curfews or tell me what to do. I can rub some horns if i want to." Eona climbed up Sollux's arm, booping his cheek with her paw as she sniffed him.

2016-06-13 11:28:36

🌀

Sollux rolled his eyes at him, but gently moved Eridan back through the apartment to his bed and even tucked him in. How considerate. Eona got some pets as well, as he scooped her closer and rubbed his face over hers. "You had enough pets yet, kitty?"

2016-06-13 11:35:25

●

"Let's move to the couch, I want to give you horn rubs now." He starts tugging him by his arm to the couch, Eona mewling in satisfaction as she bopped him in the nose

2016-06-13 11:41:44

🌀

He rolled his eyes again, but more for show than anything else. He shoved Dave down on the couch, and dropped himself to lie across the couch, head in his lap as he made himself comfortable. The kitten ended up curled up on his stomach, and he gently wiggled his fingers at her belly so she can play.

2016-06-13 11:42:56

●

The kitten papped his fingers gently with her little kitty paws, looking entertained, and while she did that, Dave started rubbing the base of his horns, really wanting to hear some purring again.

2016-06-13 11:47:10

🌀

Sollux started purring again almost as soon as Dave was at his horns. What can he say, he's rather responsive to horn rubs. They're especially nice when he has his migraines, so long as whoever's giving the rubs is carefully.
