"Dude." "No." "please!" "NO!" You were arguing with your moirail, Eridan Ampora. He had been complaining he was a terrible artist, so for a while now you had been giving him lessons. By now, even Karkat enjoyed some of his drawings-not that he would ever admit it. "Errriiiidddddaaaannnn..." You whined. You were sitting in your room on your not-so-fluffy but somehow impossibly fluffy bed. Eridan was sitting on your floor. While you were studying his most recent drawing, you caught him doodling on some scrap paper.

"NEVVER." He said again. "Well WHY NOOOOTTTTTT?" You groaned, with a somewhat amused smile. "Because it's...terrible." You rolled your eyes. "YOU SAY THAT ABOUT EVERYTHING." You flipped over the paper you were studying, showing him his most recent drawing. It was Karkat, in a style you couldn't really describe but you loved. "Then THIS happened! SHOW MEEEE!" "Wwell wwait until it's done!" The sharp tonged sea-dweller retorted. "FINE." You huffed. You didn't hurry him though, because you knew he'd just go into some long random rant about how he had almost royal blood and he didn't have to take orders from a 'frivolous land dweller'.

"Wwell? Done yet?" you asked, imitating him. You were pretty bad at it, but it was still fun to do. Actually, your friend _ was really good at mocking him, and every time she did his voice you either squealed in happiness or curled up in a ball and fell on the floor, rocking back and forth. If it wasn't obvious, you were completely flushed for him. You have been for almost a sweep now. He was just so... perfect.

And then there was a picture shoved in your face. You blushed a little, thinking about how cute he was when he was annoyed. Now the picture was being waved in your face. "You there, _? You're so much like Gamzee. Alwways spacin' out n' stuff. You took the picture in surprise, turning away. You. Yoooou little sucker. Concentrate. NOT ON-
You froze. The picture...

was a perfect rendering of you.

*_*Eridans POV!*_*

Oh cod. How effective. You don't wwant her to see the picture, so you wwave it around in her face. You... you little fish stick, you...speak. "Wwell...?" I drew out. "D-Do you like it?"

*_*BACK TO YOU!*_*

Your mind just exploded, and might as well have just been chucked out a window. It was so perfect. And it was you. And, AND from the date on it, he'd been working on it for a little over half a sweep, not long after you got all flushed for him! IT WAS. SO. BWAAAAAFFFFF. WORDS. WORDS NO DESCRIBE DIS. "Wwell?" Eridan drew out from behind you. "D-Do you like it?" WHAT. WORDS. GONE. WHERE WORDS. You decided to wait until you could say more then 'AGFGILXIPFH.', whatever that meant. "You don't like it..." He frowned. EARTH TO _! SAY SOMETHING! "I told you it wwas terrible..." WAT. NO. SOOOO MUCH NO. You went to flip it over.

"WWAIT NO-!" Too late. Hey, look! Writing on the back! Eridan looked like he might faint. "You ok, fish face?" Damn, that name annoyed him. For obvious reasons. "DONT CALL ME THAT, LOW BLOOD!" You almost laughed. "Well what is this?" You inquired, pointing to the 'words'. "Can I read it?" A slight violet blush spread across his face. "Shore, Wwhatevver." He stared at the floor, pouting as you read. Your eyes went wide and you flopped back on your bed, processing what you just saw.

"Wwell I should go." Eridan quickly stood and dashed out the door of your room. You shot up and sprinted after perhaps the fastest fish you've ever known. "WAIT!" You yelled, catching him by the wrist as he reached your front door. You quickly spun him around and pulled him into a kiss. At first he hesitated, but then he kissed back. His lips were sweet and soft. You pulled back and pulled him into a hug. "Flushed for you, Ampora."
"Flushed for you, too."
