Eridan wandered around the strange new place he had walked into. e had been messing with the transportilizers, and appeared in this strange hexigonal place. He bumoed into one of the strange denizens of this place. "wwatch wwhere your goin!" he exlamed. the black and yellow striped boy responded with "calm down there, dont get your stinger in a twist. wait a minute..." his slightly deep voice was like angels singing to eridan, and he was awestruck. "you arent from the hive" the boy said. "wwhat the evverlovvin fuck do you mean. iim not from no ones hivve but my owwn."

"you talk weird. are you from another hive?"

"im from alternia. im Eridan Ampora"

"Barry B. Benson." such a fitting name for a strangely attractive person. he looked nervous. "would you like to um..." 'yes?" "would you like to get some honey with me?" "of course!" eridan smiled at barry. eridan grabbed his hand s they walked to a small shop in the back of the hive. they sat down in the chairs, and sipped honey. they talked for hours, eventually talking about humans and sollux and other things. soon it was late, and barry went home. they walked home together, and held hands outside the door. "can i... can i see you agian?" "i knoww howw i evven got here, but if i stay here, of course." they pulled togeter real close. eridan leaned to the smaller man, and as they pressed their lips together, eridan finally felt he belonged.
