Dream bubbles are strange things, and they seem to allow strange things to happen in them. Dirk quickly found that out as he traveled through them.
It's been quite a few nights since Dirk found himself dreaming in the dream bubbles. He's met some people, but he never manages to find them again. One time though, he came across a certain lonely troll that really needs to be comforted. Dirk wasn't the best at comforting, but he tried his best, and it did lift this troll's spirits up.
They exchanged names, and Dirk learned that this trolls name is Eridan. They talked for quite some time, and they found some things they have in common. It wasn't many though, but that doesn't really matter.
Many times after that, Dirk learned more and more about Eridan. He now thinks that his trouble's in life aren't as bad as they could be. Eridan would occasionally drift off, and Dirk had to help him snap out of his memories.
The two didn't only talk, they did some other things, but most of the time when someone else found them, they would disapprove of what Dirk is doing, or just get into a fight with Eridan. Dirk would step in the fight, stopping it. Usually, he would get a short glare before the person would walk off, but sometimes the person would leer a warning at him about Eridan. Dirk didn't care though, he considered Eridan a friend, and he wasn't going to let anyone say otherwise.
Dreams later, Eridan was able to explain seriously to Dirk about troll love and the quadrants. Dirk already knew some about troll love, but he didn't really understand it. After Eridan explained to him about how quadrants work, Dirk mentioned that they seem to be like a moirail. That made our little seadweller here blush.
After that, they talked about how they could be each other's moirail. Dirk was actually leading the conversation, and soon they became each other moirails. Dirk still didn't completely get the whole quadrant thing, but he was willing to learn from Eridan, which is a strange sweetness in its own way.
I don't expect a lot of people actually liking this fanfiction because of the pairing itself, but I don't really care. Considering how my OTP is a Trickster Erisol, it really shouldn't be a surprise that this ship is one of my favorites. If you did enjoy this or just the way I wrote it, I have a few other small fanfictions that are ships, and I plan to write many more for all the ships I ship. I mostly wrote this for two reasons: One is because I wanted a really sweet fanfiction of one of my favorite ships, and two is because I actually want to show people the ship and have them ship it too. It's a long shot, but hey, reason two might not come true, but reason one always will be. Thanks for reading this anyways and have a good day/night.
