I'm sorry this is small. I'm trying to focus on quality rather than quantity? It's a but of a dip from the others, but hopefully the next chapter will be churned out pretty soon! Have smaller chunks more frequently makes it easier for my to check for mistakes in my English. As always, please let me know if there are mistakes, it's all apart of learning!
He was flying, headed straight upward, ripping out of the atmosphere, planets zooming past him, traveling a million miles an hour and so slowly at the same time. He couldn't help but think how beautiful it was, amongst the oddly coloured planets, the brightness of starts and then, the red and blue of galaxies. And then, and then hit shattered, an immense tug dragging him down. Through the galaxy, past the stars, past the planets, all this time gaining momentum. He plummeted, through the atmosphere again, through the clouds. He could se far below him, the lights, the ground but most of all, the immense vastness of the ocean, rushing up to meet him. He spread out flat, the g-force rippling his skin and scraping the hair off his face. Closing his eyes he loosened his body, preparing for the splash. But instead of being cold and hard as he expected, it was warm and soft and silky, engulfing him entirely.
Opening his eyes, Sollux realised he was not in fact underwater, but cocooned in his duvet. Pulling a pillow over his head he tried to block the banging noise that was reverberating around his skull. Slowly coming out of his unconscious state, he realised it was the door. Draping himself in the duvet, he waddled over to the door, undoing the cheap lock with both hands.
Upon seeing the character on the other side, he jutted his chin out defiantly.
"Oh, it's you."
"No need to be so rude" Eridan Ampora remarked as he pushed the bike toward Sollux. "I was only returnin' this."
Sollux took the bike off the man's hands and shuffled back with it, gingerly placing it against the hall radiator.
"Well thanks I guess?"
"No problem. Jeeze you were wasted last night. Bet you're feelin' terrible now, huh?"
"Haha, yeah…" Sollux replied flatly aiming to shut the door, but Eridan placed his foot against the wood, stopping him short.
"Listen, Sol. How do you fancy comin' to the café? Get a fry up for your head, yea?"
"No." Sollux said firmly, going to close the door again.
"I'll pay." His voice was pleading. Blue eyes met blood shot ones. Sollux's resolve almost dissolved then, but he narrowed his eyes and retorted.
"No."
"But why…?" The drawling tone really made Sollux wince, this guy was really annoying him.
"Because I don't know, or particularly like you."
"Well you could at least come over to mine for a coffee…" Sollux kept a dead pan expression in reply, Eridan furrowed his brow, pleading now. "Please…?" With a dramatic sigh, Sollux rubbed his eyes.
"Fine." He breathed heavily. "Just let me put some pants on."
