Stupid humans and their stupid human problems. Eridan Ampora, the sea-dwelling troll, watched as yet another human body floated among the deep green seaweed surrounding his home. He scowled as he cut the strands holding the body in place. The water logged body floated up to the surface and out of his sight. He sighed, why did people have to kill themselves in his home? It surely was secluded and beautiful and for some reason, people took it as an invitation to kill themselves here. It didn't make sense to kill themselves in a beautiful place when their corpses would only serve to make this place gross.

He looked around at his home, which was only half finished. The half above water was finished but the small part that went into the water had yet to be completed. Seeing as it was being completely made by Eridan himself, it was not surprising. He knew he had to go up to the surface for more material, but he really didn't want to. The only person who had proper material for his home was the stupid yellow blooded troll. But, he was rather tired of sleeping among the weeds.

Steeling himself, he took a deep breath and walked out of his lake. His clothes dried up almost instantly when it hit the surface. Slowly he made his way to the city where Sollux lived. As far as he knew, Sol was living with Dave while his hive was being built in some grassland. Even after two years of living on the new earth, Eridan still got stares from the humans when he walked among them. He wasn't sure if it was still due to the fact that he was an alien or if it was his water nature. He remembered that day when Sollux announced to the city that Eridan was a sea-dweller, he had gotten a flood of activists splashing water on him to "keep him alive!"

He had honestly thought they would leave their stupid pranks back on that stupid astroid but he just brought it back with him. Eventually, Eridan found Dave's apartment and went inside. Once again the elevator was broken so he had to walk up all those 20 flights of stairs. By the 1oth floor, his face was flushed purple from the exertion. What was it with humans and their stairs? After a short break, he made it up the rest of the way. His skin felt itchy from the exercise and he tugged at his scarf. Stylish though it might be, it was pretty inconvenient when the time came to do some physical exercise. He walked down to the end of the hall and stopped in front of Dave's door. Just as he lifted a hand to knock, he heard a thud and someone shout.

"Get off of me!"

He froze. There was a precision of bumps and thuds and a distant crash. More screaming as well. The more he heard, the more he was able to distinguish the voices of Feferi and Sollux. Were they fighting?

Eridan considered leaving and coming back later but his old moraillegence with Feferi told him to stay. Suddenly the door was thrown open and Feferi slammed into him. The force of her little body colliding with his made him stumble but not fall. His arms automatically wrapped around her protectively. He looked down at her feeling the shake of her shoulders and felt the anger and hurt pouring out of her. He looked between her and Sollux a few times before focusing his attention to her.

"What did he do to you?" He asked her gently. She simply shook her head and sobbed silently into his chest. He looked up to see Sollux standing in the middle of Dave's living room. His shirt was torn open and he had mutliple wounds across his chest. His honey blood painting the black carpet beneath him. His glasses were gone and he had a blank look that said he wasn't really here. Nevertheless, Eridan pulled out his wand from his belt and aimed it at Sollux. Sollux took a forward step "Don't you ever touch her again." He said, his voice dangerously low.

Sollux growled at him but didn't make another move.

"Do you still love your ex-morail Eri? Do you want her back? I can put that iron back in your fire if you let me." He said tauntingly.

Slowly Eridan backed away, his arm still around Feferi. What the hell? The only person he knew who used that phase was Vriska. But Vriska was lost in the void a while ago. The door suddenly shut with a force that rattled the frame. Startled, he looked to his left to find Karkat standing inside the apartment as well. He must've come in when Sollux had begun taunting him. Eridan was about to thank him for the interruption but another look at the troll made him stop. Kar's face looked hollow which was usually normal except his cheeks appeared to be stained with fresh tears. His eyes looked... dead. Slowly, Karkat looked at them all and leaned on the wall with a groan. Eridan usually stayed away from the trolls of his session except when he really needed to, which wasn't very often. Much like Karkat did when the group began falling apart. Looking back at Sollux, he frowned. There was a smirk on the mustard blood that really looked out of place on him. Gently, he pulled Feferi away from him and took her face in his hands. She looked so miserable and confused. He kissed her forhead and both cheeks. "Wait for me outside, alright?"

She nodded hesitantly and slowly walked over to the door; occasionally looking back at Sollux as if expecting him to say something. When she was finally out, Erdian turned to Sollux. Teeth bared, he growled at Sollux.

"Get the fuck out of his mind bitch. Leave them alone."

Sollux grinned menacingly. Eyes glowing he asked Eridan "Oh, you've matured haven't you? How hilarious!" The glow in Sol's eyes grew brighter and brighter. Red and Blue energy began swirling around his body. Suddenly, the grin on Sollux's face twisted into a grimace.

"Fuckin low mustard blooded shit eating troll! Damn iiii—STOOOP!" He screamed. Suddenly, Sollux lst the glow and he fell to the floor, coughing up blood. The troll slowly looked up at Eridan. "D-did I hurt her?" He asked quietly. Eridan looked down at him with a mix of disgust and pity. "Not physically" he said shortly. Then he left him on the floor and walked over to Karkat.

He placed a hand on Kar's shoulder, making the shorter troll look up at him. Eridan said nothing but sighed as their eyes met. He pulled Karkat out to the hallway with Feferi and pulled the door closed behind him. Lokking over at the two forlorn trolls made him frown deeply. Without hesitation, he held out his hand to Feferi which she surprisingly took. Karkat was leaning on the door and staring at his gray sneakers when Eridan put his hand on his shoulder. Karkat didn't automatically throw Eridans hand off making Eridan wary of the loud mouth.

"Come on then." Eridan said to the pair. With a little force, he managed to lead Karkat and Feferi out of the apartment complex. Together, the odd triomade their way down to Eridan's home at the edge of the lake. As they walked, Eridans mind was going a mile a minute with questions as to what happened and what Karkat was doing there. But one question continued to circulate in his mind:

What am I doing?
