Burning was what Eridan Ampora felt, like the sun had focused just on that one spot. He picked the worse spot as his legs slightly brushed the new ink under his skin. The tattoo forcing its bright colors against his grey skin in contrast in the shorts he wore.
"Stupid Sollux, stupid hate-date." Eridan growled as he trekked to a café, on the new Earth that homed humans and trolls. He got some glances to his leg as the tattoo flashed with its bright ink and faint purple outlining the image. Had he known of the hate-date he wouldn't have gone early in the morning to the tattoo shop and mark his skin permanently; it was still sore and purple. "Stupid, stupid land dwellin mustard blood." Eridan hissed under his breath, opening the door to the café.
Clinking of dishes, chattering voices, and the smell of pastry's hit full force as Eridan walked in the café, seeing his kismesis sitting in the back with his stupid laptop with a bee logo. Eridan huffed, throwing his scarf over his shoulder, walking with what Dave would label as 'fail swag' over to Sollux.
"Howw nice of you. Bringin' your laptop wwith you on this so called 'hate-date', could havve gavve me more wwornin about it." The sea dweller growled out, taking the seat across Sollux, stealing the drink he was drinking. "Blah. Wwhat is wwith you and this earth honey?" he gagged down his sip before pushing the drink back to the owner.
"Thut it, it'th not like you needed to thteal my drink. What'th with your leg?" Sollux stuck his split tongue at the purple blood, gesturing to his leg hearing a faint hiss as cold metal hit the skin.
"If you must be nosey about it, I got a tattoo this morning." Eridan huffed moving his legs to cancel the viewing of his tattoo.
"What? I don't get a thay in what markth my kithmethith thkin bethideth my fang inprintth?" Sollux growled at the shifting of legs obscured the tattoo he was trying to figure out.
Eridan rolled his eyes as the comment, "I don't need your permission to do wwhat I wwish wwith my body." His fins flared slightly in annoyance. One of the kinky things that Sollux gets off from, and Eridan knew this.
"Thtop that." Sollux hissed a faint yellow crawling on his ears.
"Stop what?" Eridan twitched his fins in mock question.
Sollux got more yellow, glaring behind his hetero-chromatic lenses.
"If wwe are done here, I havve ointment to place on my burnin skin." Eridan smirked fins twitching, lifting himself from the seat to leave. He flashed the tattoo before leaving fully.
A yellow starfish.
