You cup your hands and shout "Ok then get over here fish-boy!" at Eridan. He smiles back at you with his eyebrow raised in a questioning look. "Wwhale someone's rather mean today." You're worried he is actually offended until you see his expression. As soon as he gets on the shore, in his dripping wet clothes, that looked particularly cold today. His purple streak in his hair, which you loved to play with, was messed up. He sighed and with his eyes closed and hands at his hips he said, "Come on Nepeta lets go to my house on the surface." He said that last word like it was an insult, you didn't mind however. He was perfect just the way he was. As you giggled you followed him up the nearby hill like formation. From there you could access the stairs that lead to his house on top of a cliff; it was built there so that you could look down at the sea. As you two walked up the stairs you asked him if he truly had enough time away from his duties to be with you. When you finished your question the both of you had just stepped off of the stairs, and into the walkway of the house. He got there a few seconds before you, and turned towards you after you finished the question. With a gaze more intense than you had ever seen he told you, "Nepeta, there is no one who means as much to me as you do. Of course there is time for you!" As you stated to blush you lightly pushed him towards the house. "Go get dry clothes on and I'll make some hot chocolate." After pouring in the cocoa and sweeting it up you heated it up. Placing the two cups on the table next to a very fancy kitchen, you looked out of the gigantic glass windows that looked over the sea. "Thanks Nep." Your heart does a little dance again as you hear him say your name. "No sweat." You reply. He is wearing his normal attire as well as the scarf you made for him after begging Kanaya to give you supplies. She was surprised you knew how to knit and sew. It looks silly now that you have a good view of it. The scarf is very well made, and there is nothing wrong in its construction. However the colors are what are weird. It's a pink and cream colored scarf. And it can't be underwater, so it stays up here. "So going to tell me why you were so creepy by not saying hi?" You ask him while looking over the rim of your cup of hot cocoa. "Sure. I thought you were mad at me." He answers almost sheepishly. You look at him as you put down your cup with a look of worried concern, "Why would you think that?" You are looking at him now; he seems to be watching the marshmallows swirl around his cup. "It's just that the last time wwe tried to get together I got too busy to showw up." He looks up at you without moving his head; he flinches as he says, "Wwill you forgive me?" "Of course silly! I know you're busy a lot, but I love you! I love everything about you! So of course I can forgive you." You have an almost sad smile on your face as you say this. "Oh thank goodness!" He almost picks you up as he hugs you.
