Eridan Ampora… Born with fins and magenta coloured blood which made his social standing on Alternia, second highest… Was in love with one of the lower bloods named Sollux Captor… It had happened when he was out walking along his beach making sure that there wasn't any more of those 'Faygo' bottles lying around when he had come across a tattered black, distasteful t-shirt lying on the ground. He picked it up using his thumb and forefinger; holding it away from his body he briefly wondered how it had gotten there… Until he had heard a groan; Eridan spun around, his cape fluttering in the light breeze. The troll noticed another scrawny looking troll lying face down on the wet sand. Eridan was surprised at first but soon noted three deep cuts on his back bleeding mustard yellow blood. The high blood scoffed, so a low blood had made his way here. The stranger groaned again snapping Eridan out of admiring his toned body. He might be scrawny but he looked like he was well built. Going over to him, Eridan picked him up in his arms careful to avoid getting any of the man's blood on his expensive clothes. The figure in his arms groaned and grabbed Eridan's shirt with his boney fingers; opening his eyes Eridan saw that they were different. His left was fully blue and the other was bright red.
"Why?" He gasped out, his voice hoarse.
Eridan scoffed for the second time, "Don't question your higher ups. I'm not doing this for you. I found you here cut up like this; I may as wwell help you."
"Thankth for helping me." He said with a lisp.
Eridan nodded and started walking back towards his hive with the man in his arms. Gasping for air once he got there he laid the man down on his stomach. Going into the laundry room he threw his t-shirt in the washing machine. Spotting there was some of the other's blood on his shirt, at the same time. Groaning in irritation he pulled off his cape and scarf and threw them on a hanger before pulling of his shirt and throwing it in with the tattered one… Eridan would sew it later but for now he had to fix up the strange man on his couch. Walking back into the room he brought with him a first-aid kit. Eridan sat down and took out some wipes so he could clean the wound.
"This might hurt a bit. Sorry in advvance."
Eridan saw the yellow blood nod and then wiped a bit of the mustard coloured liquid away. He could see the other flinch as he cleaned the wounds.
"So uh… Wwhat's your name?" Eridan asked trying to get his mind off what the high blood was doing.
"Thollux… Who are you?" He asked.
"You mean Sollux right? Oh and I'm Eridan Ampora." He said with a smile. "It's nice to meet you."
"Ampora… Waiit… Tho you're a high blood then, II recogniize your name… And yeth II mean Thollux, I have a lithp okay…" He pouted when he thought Eridan was making fun of the way he spoke.
Eridan blushed when he saw Sollux was pouting, "I wwasn't making fun of you Sol, not need to pout." He said wiping more of the blood away.
"Thol? Really, well iif you're calliing me Thol II'm calliing you ED." Sollux said not thinking about the pain of his back anymore.
