It was an average day for Eridan Ampora as he sat sulking on his window ledge while playing with the rings on his slim fingers, it hadn't been the best week for him, especially because he had a few...issues with Feferi because of that douche Sollux, he's always hated Sollux and I guess he felt the same way towards Eridan as well, one time Nepeta suggested them to be in a kismesissitude relationship together but they would probably kill each other if that ever happened, which wouldn't be the best thing but suddenly there was a loud knock on the door.

"Eridan I know you're in there!" said a loud and almost demanding voice

Eridan ignored the voice and continued sulking until they knocked again.

"Eridan open the fucking door!"

"Why should I Kar?" Eridan mumbled back.

"Just open the door, I need to talk to you"

He sighed as he stood up and stretched his arms and then he walked over to the door and opened it.

"What do you want Kar, I'm busy here"

"Busy with sulking on your window ledge like some lost hipster"

"Just tell me why your here"

"Well, I heard about what happened between you and Feferi an-"

"I don't want to talk about it."

"I just seen you sulking and I thought if you wanted to come to my hive and watch a movie or something?"

Eridan looked away while he thought about it for a moment.

"Fine then, since I have nothing better to do"

Karkat smiled slightly but Eridan still had a sulky look on his face.

"Let's go"

Karkat walked out and Eridan followed as he shut the door behind them, there was a slightly awkward silence the only thing you could hear was footsteps.

"So..." said Karkat trying to break the awkward silence.

"What?" Eridan replied.

"Why are you being so sulky, you should be happy, there's no Feferi or Sollux here so I don't understand why you look so...pouty?"

"I just miss having a moirail or matesprit.." he said while looking at the floor with the most upset look on his face

"Sorry..." Karkat said as he looked away.

The silence was awkward until they got to Karkats hive and he opened the door.

"Just go in and pick a movie from the cabinet on your right"

Eridan didn't reply and he just walked in and looked through the movies, Karkat made some popcorn and once Eridan had finished picking a movie and got it all set up Karkat walked in with blankets and popcorn and sat next to Eridan. Eridan moved over to keep a bit of space between them as Karkat put down the popcorn and pressed play.

Eridan took no interest in the movie they consider as a 'romcom' but he carried on looking at Karkat who was completely hooked, his eyes were glued to the screen as he grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it in his mouth. Eridan glanced over at him and smiled softly without realising, when Karkat was like this it reminded him so much of Feferi, it really was cute.

As a dramatic part came up Karkat had the most shocked look on his face, its almost like he had never seen this movie a hundred times before, Eridan was still glancing at him and laughed slightly, Karkat looked over at him.

"Would you be quiet Im tryin- Wait why are you looking at me liked that" Karkat said with the most confused look on his face.

Eridan blushed slightly as he looked away.

"Well, uhm, it's just wel-"

Suddenly Eridan was cut off by a soft kiss from Karkat. As Karkat pulled away from the kiss Eridan looked at him surprised as Karkat took off Eridans glasses and smiled which made Eridans face go a deeper shade of violet.

"Wait what..." Eridan said as he looked at him blankly.

"I want to be your matesprit Eridan" Karkat said looking up at him
