"No. I never said to stop. I'm just wondering." He pulled a face and just nudged him gently with his foot. "I'm not being weird about it. It's not every fucking day you get someone drawing concupiscent sigils on your ankles." He was banking on Dave's lack of troll knowledge to not question his word choice.

●

"Cupwhat. What's that?" He rose a brow. Which of the shapes might mean something to him?

2015-08-01 07:39:42

🌀

"Concupiscent. Troll stuff. Don't worry about it." He shut his eyes again, letting his head just rest back. "Just ignore me. I'm being stupid again."

2015-08-01 07:41:26

●

"I can't pronounce that." He concluded with a slight smirk. "And alright, whatever you say." He shrugs.

One, two, eventually five more hearts come along in the next ten minutes, as Dave looks out at the water, finding it pretty soothing himself. As he further relaxes, he stops having any kind of control of his fingers, and now the hearts are the dominant shapes, the squares and zigzags appearing less often.

2015-08-01 07:43:31

🌀

He shrugged, fins sort of tucked back against his head.

When the hearts started becoming the main shape he opened his eyes again, chewing on his lower lip slightly and staring at his fingers. He realised that Dave didn't have a clue of what he was drawing, and quickly shut his eyes again, not wanting him to stop,

2015-08-01 07:46:24

●

He didn't really feel the need to say anything. He thought about taking a picture of the water, but the camera was too fucking far, so he just watched as the water glimmered, occasionally seeing a fish or two.

Ten more minutes and the other patterns were non existent.

2015-08-01 07:48:42

🌀

This was bad for his mental health. Well not really, but for his emotional state probably. He wanted to ask if Dave actually was aware and wasn't just faking it, but then he didn't want to ask in case he wasn't and never touched him in any sort of way ever again.

Fuck it.

"You're ah... Are you aware you're drawing hearts on me? I ain't complaining, not all, but... That's the concupiscent shape. Just... So you know." He was violet over his cheeks and fins, chewing on the corner of his lip as he scrunched a bit in his seat.

2015-08-01 07:51:52

●

He looked back at him when he started talking, fingers pausing for a bit. His cheeks went red in two seconds or your money back, and he immediately pulled back his hands on reflex. "Uh- I.. I was? Shit, shit sorry, I can probably explain that- or, okay I probably can't explain that but I didn't know I was doing it and that's really what matters right?" He was nervously rambling, and forced himself to stop by biting his tongue. Shit.

2015-08-01 07:54:14

🌀

"Dave." His fins and cheeks were more violet then the stupid lock of his hair. "Dave." He tried to interrupt his ramblings, feeling just as flustered. "Fucking dammit Strider if you don't shut up I'm gonna kis- make you shut up." Whoop no slip up here.

"Dave. It's fine I swear. You don't gotta explain it seriously. I shouldn'a opened my big mouth just stop your flipping out."

2015-08-01 07:58:12

●

Dave bit his lip as he heard him pretty much insinuate he was going to kiss him.

Alright Strider stop.

What should he make of that? He was clearly flustered.

Well, there is only one way to figure this out without being very awkward. Not to say he wouldn't be, just that he would be less.

"So... what if I didn't shut up, again?" He muttered

2015-08-01 08:00:28

🌀

He was suddenly very interested in his knees. "I ah." His fins were doing a sort of embarrassed wiggle and his face would not stop being violet.

Troll up and stop being a wriggler Ampora.

"I'll kiss you to make you shut up." He said real quickly, inspecting the bandage on his hand very intently. "I hear it's... It's a good way to shut people up?"

2015-08-01 08:02:43

●

He gently removed Eridan's feet from his lap after a second of consideration, not sure if he heard him well at first, but once he does, he gets up and walks a little closer.

He should not be this flustered, this is not how it works, fuck, daminit. You're a Strider, for fuck's sake, if Bro knew, you'd never hear the end of it.

He could nearly feel his heart trying to escape through his throat once he reached out for his cheek, tilting his face up, and leaning down a bit.

This is it.

Fuck, don't fuck this up, please, please don't fuck this up.

2015-08-01 08:05:24

🌀

Eridan nearly flipped when Dave moved his feet, drawing his knees up to his chest and keeping his gaze away. He wasn't expecting a gentle touch, but a gentle touch was what he got. He looked up at him, eyes wide behind his glasses and his fins started wiggling when he saw him lean down.

Oh shit. Oh fuck. Oh dear sweet deity please don't let him fuck this up.

He moved his head the bit more that it needed, hesitantly pressing his lips to Dave's in what could only just be called a kiss.

2015-08-01 08:09:36

●

Dave made sure to make it a bit more firm, his eyes having closed while he leaned down, relief washing over him.

Well call him a whore for kissing on the second date, but here they are.

He exhaled through his nose as his shoulders relaxed considerably, not even having realized of how tense they were, nearly in a defensive position.

No, that's not right.

He forced his shoulders to fully relax, and when his fingers moved again, it was to stroke his cheek softly with his thumb, the heat on his cheeks slowly but steadily going away

2015-08-01 08:14:05

🌀

Eridan tilted his head slightly, practically leaning into the kiss now. He relaxed more when he felt Dave's thumb brushing over his cheek, eyes slipping closer as he reached up with one hand to rest against his neck lightly. His fins were still wiggling away, but not as frantic as before, only a more relaxed wiggle.

He was breathing slightly heavier when they parted a bit, blinking up at him almost owlishly.

He was almost convinced this was some weird daydream.

2015-08-01 08:17:20

●

Dave was fairly sure it wasn't normal to feel a shiver go down his spine when he rested his hand on his neck, but alas he did.

His other hand blindly searched for Eridan's free one, wanting something to connect them still even after they broke the kiss, as cheesy as it sounds. He felt like it might help him not chicken out of this and actually grow a pair.

The kiss is parted as Dave rests his hand over Eridan's, and he only opens his eyes slightly, his ears burning, but his cheeks now only covered in a light shade of red, that matched his eyes quite well.

He smiled ever so slightly, giving his hand a soft squeeze.

2015-08-01 08:20:51

🌀

He looked sort of like a goldfish right now, one of those bug-eyed ones with how wide his eyes were now. He licked his lips quickly, searching his eyes for any sight of retribution or anything. He couldn't help but smile back though, fins wiggling a bit as he glanced down at his hands. He shifted his hand a bit so that their fingertips were crossed, squeezing gently as he looked back up at him.

2015-08-01 08:24:25

●

His smile widened a little, and the only thing he could think about was more. He wanted more, this wasn't nearly enough. He couldn't believe how he kept himself from doing this earlier.

He brushed the back of his hand along his cheek, closing his eyes to lean into another kiss, a more confident one, as his hand slid to his waist, just resting there.

2015-08-01 08:27:05

🌀

Eridan made as soft noise as he went in for another kiss, fins flaring slightly before he responded. The hand on Dave's neck moved to thread through the hair at the back of his head, more for something to ground himself on then anything else. He squeezed his fingers again, kissing back slowly, languidly.

Why on earth didn't he mention drawn hearts earlier. They could've been kissing earlier then this. He couldn't quite believe they were actually kissing though, and it was only the feel of Dave's lips on his that convinced him it was not some daydream.

2015-08-01 08:30:16

●

Dave made a small sound of his own as he felt Eridan's hand slide into his hair, though low, in the back of his throat. It was something between a soft sigh and a groan.

He squeezed his hand back, returning the kiss lazily, though it all seemed like it was going by quickly, as he enjoyed every moment. His heart was still thumping harder than before, but in a soothing way now. Now, he rather liked that.

2015-08-01 08:34:15

🌀

He shivered a bit at the sound he made, flared fins picking up on it easily. He moved his hand slightly, more combing gently through his hair now. This was nice. So nice. He parted from him merely to catch a breath, nose nudging his briefly before going back for another kiss.

2015-08-01 08:36:01

●

He rather liked having his hair played with, so the fingers in his hair made him melt just a little, making a sound of approval in return.

He couldn't believe he still had till at least 5pm to do whatever he felt like with Eridan. They could always go somewhere, but this felt much more intimate, more private too.

As the second kiss is parted, he pulled backwards, still smiling softly so that he wouldn't be alarmed, and tugged him up to his feet, so that he could wrap his arms loosely around his waist. Then, he leaned in for the kiss Eridan was after.

2015-08-01 08:40:31

🌀

Eridan blinked when he was pulled up, hands resting on Dave's waist. He grinned, a small crooked hopeful one before he leaned into the kiss again. His eyes were closed again with this kiss, head tilted just so they were clashing noses. His fingers nearly had a mind of their own, resting on Dave's waist and rubbing small circles into the skin of above his swim trunks with his thumbs. He didn't do more then that, but he loved being able to do this.

2015-08-01 08:45:09

●

Moving closer, he closed the distance between them, smiling wide. His arms were wrapped a bit more tightly around him now, holding him close, as if he'd leave the option for him to slip through his fingers he would. He knew he wouldn't though, the way he was trying to get closer too didn't indicate he would. He really liked that.

He sucked softly on his soft bottom lip, tugging on it a little, before letting go.

2015-08-01 08:48:47

🌀

He made another little noise as his lip was tugged, fingers tightening on his waist briefly as a result. He huffed at him into the kiss, nudging him again with his nose as he peeked his eyes open to look at him. He smiled into the kiss, returning the favour and gently tugging at his bottom lip. He sucked more then he tugged, not really wanting to get his teeth involved just yet. That'd be bad. He kissed him properly now, lips still parted a bit as he did so.
