((Keep in mind that this is my first fanfiction so if it's bad go ahead and say it! I need constrructive critisism! ENJOY!))

You open the front door to your cottage and step out into the cool night air. You take your time closing the door behind you, because your parents wouldn't approve of you being up this late. They didn't approve of a lot of things you did these days..

You let out a long sigh and walk over to the dock on the lake that your cottage faces. You glance around quickly to make sure nobody followed you, when you are sure that you are alone, you decide to sit and dip your feet into the cold water.

Yet another day I spend alone...

You think sadly. Recently, your only friend had moved away and you haven't been really active in your crumbling social life.

You break yourself out of your depressing thoughts as you see a faint splash close to where you were sitting. You quickly stand up and try to see what had disturbed the water.

You decided to run to the edge of the dock to get a closer look, but as you were running, one of your feet slipped, causing you to crash into the murky water.

You weren't panicng, seeing as you were a great swimmer, but when you tried to dart back up to the surface, you smashed your head of of a overhanging rock. You immediatly started losing conciousness.

The last thing you saw was a pair of purple eyes looking into yours and a pair of cold hands help you out of the water.

You awake with a start and start choking on water, you faintly remembered what happened to you and as you look around the small building you were in your memory comes rushing back, you remember that there was something helping you. Your (e/c) eyes swept the room, trying to find your savior, that's when you realised that you were breathing normally again.

You hear the door to the shed open and close quickly and you look to see who has arrived

He looked like one of the trolls your old friend Jade kept describing to you. Grey skin, candy corn horns.

"I see you're awwake." He says, before walking over to help you stand up.

You can't stop yourself from giggling at his ridiculous accent.

He gives you the most adorable pout and whines "wwhat's so funny?"

You giggle "You are!"

He frowns and gives you a confused look before he blinks and shakes his head. "Anywway, wwho are you?"

"(y/n). So, who are you?" You reply, putting your hands on your hips.

"Eridan. Eridan Ampora" He replies, before giving a tiny bow.

You feel the heat rush to your cheeks as he grins at you in the cutest way. "I- uh... t-thanks or saving me, I guess..." You mumble, mentally scolding yourself for sounding so quiet and foolish.

He dips his head in response. "Can you wwalk?"

"I... I'll try" You hesitantly take a step foward but find yourself pitching towards the floor.

You feel a pair of cold arms wrap themselves around your waist and catch you.

"Guess not" Eridan chuckles quietly.

You blush and spin around in his arms to glare at him. "S-shut up! I-" You cut yourself off as you hear a loud voice outside the shed.

Eridan heard it too "Shit..." He hissed, before reluctantly letting you go and walking towards the door. "I'll be back...stay here"

You nod and climb up onto a chair to wait.

The loud voice was right outside the shed.

You feel your curiosity take over as you creep over to the door and listen to the two argue.

"Hey Kar..."

"WHERE THE FUCK WHERE YOU LAST NIGHT? I SPENT AT LEAST THREE FUCKING HOURS LOOKING FOR YOU!"

"Three hours, wwoww Kar, glad to knoww you care." Eridan's voice was dripping with sarcasm.

You continued to listen to their conversation, but soon you felt yourself drift off to sleep.
