"He's so annoying," Nepeta said, annoying Equius, "He thinks he's sooooo great, just becuase he's a sea-dweller. I hate it."

"Nepeta, why do you hate Eridan? You have never told me why and I can't help you unless you explain," Equius sighed, his moirail had gone on about her hatred of Eridan for the past hour. He had been trying to keep himself calm, but his patience was really wearing thin.

"It was totally his fault!" Nepeta exclaimed, "I didn't do anything wrong!" she stormed out, leaving Equius more confused than he was before.

"She's just so annoying, Kar wwhat do you think?" Eridan asked, his gossip buddy had his head on his desk and was hitting it with his hand.

"What do I think? What do I think? That's rich, fucking seaweed sniffing bulgeblighter. I told her crush on me is very red and very fucking unrequited. What did she even do to you? You go on and on but here I am with no fucking idea what you asslickers even did. If you could stop bitching about it maybe we could get somewhere," Karkat grumbled, he hated hearing the same thing over and over, he wanted them to get the whole thing sorted out.

"Wwell, you should knoww all about it, wwhat wwith your leadership," Eridan scowled and walked out, leaving Karkat to beat his head against the desk in annoyance.

Equius found Karkat grumbling over how idiotic everyone was.

"Karkat, I would like to speak to you about Nepeta," he faced the leader with worry etched on his normally stoic face.

"If this about her fucking feelings you can count me out. It's bad enough that seaweed sucker complains about her nonstop," he continued with his usual grumblings.

"Actually, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Nepeta won't stop talking about him."

Karkat looked at him suspiciously, "Did she at least tell you what they fucking did? Eridan won't shut up about it but won't tell me what the fuck happened."

"No, I was hoping he told you. Do you think we could get them to make up?"

"We could force them to make up. There are a lot of places we could trap them until they stop bitching about each other."

Equius smiled, "I believe I know just the place."

"Where are we going?" Nepeta asked.

"You'll find out," Equius said. All the secrecy was annoying her, but she trusted Equius.

"Are wwe there yet?" Eridan whined.

"We'll get there when we get there! Stop whining, seaweed brained land addict!" Karkat yelled. Eridan scowled, Karkat was practically dragging him, and he didn't appreciate being called a "land addict."

Both pairs arrived at the location (a room on the meteor which conveniently had a door that locked from the outside) and forced the two, now fighting, into the cave, locking the door behind them.

"You can't keep me in here!" Nepeta screeched, "not with him!"

"I'm not doing anything wwith her!" Eridan yelled.

"Suck it! You can't get out until you two fuckers stop fighting!" Karkat's voice yelled loud and clear despite being on the other side of the door.

The pair stuck in the room glared at each other, allowing a silence to hang over the room.

"How long have they been in there?" Karkat asked.

Equius shrugged, "I don't know. At least a couple of hours."

"Do you wanna get something to eat?" Karkat asked.

"Yes," Equius said, getting up and walking out, following Karkat.

The pair, now sitting on opposite sides of the room, sat in silence, which was broken by the rumbling of Nepeta's stomach.

"You really hungry? It hasn't been that long," Eridan said, only for his stomach to start growling too.

"Your one to talk," Nepeta snapped. She scoffed, "this whole scenario is fucking ridiculous."

Eridan looked at her in surprise, "You curse?"

"Equius doesn't like it when I do, but yeah," she replied, "why? What did you think?"

"N-nothing, you just don't, you know," Eridan stuttered out. Silence fell on the room again

A few hours later...

"Nep, if we die here, I want you to know I never hated you," Eridan said. He was getting really thirsty.

Nepeta rolled her eyes, there was no way they were going to die, but she did enjoy the sentiment, "I never hated you either. The incident - the kiss - I actually... kind of enjoyed it."

"Me too," Eridan said, "do you wwanna try again?"

"Try what again? Try kissing?"

"Yeah... I mean only if you wwant to."

Nepeta stood up and went over to him, sitting back down beside him and pushing her lips on his, "Like that?" she playfully said.

"Exactly," Eridan said, smiling, and kissing her again. He decided it would be fine if they died, as long as they were together.

Karkat was ready to get into his recuperacoon, the day was more relaxing without Eridan to bug him all the time. Speaking of Eridan, where was that pompous sea-dweller?

"WE FORGOT ABOUT ERIDAN AND NEPETA!"

Q: I hope you enjoy it ! So, I guess I'm starting one-shots. I'll do prompts, if you want to send one by PM or review. If I don't get prompts maybe I'll come up with something? We'll see
