((WARNING:THIS CHAPTER HAS SOME ADULT ACTIVITES! NO CHILDREN PLEASE!))

"Oww Sol let go!"

"No I'm doing thi'th for you!"

"You don't havve to- S-Sol put me dowwn!"

"E.D thop fighting me!"

"SooooOOL!" Sollux dropped Eridan in the bathtub filled with warm water. But for the seadweller, it hurt like hell. It stung on all his still open cuts, causing him to squirm unhappily.

"Sol I-it hurts to much, can I get o-out noww?" Instead of a verbal reply, the Psion dumped a bowl of water over the other's head.

"Jutht let me wash your hair. Then you can get out."

"B-But Sol..." Eridan whimpered as he felt the cold get of the shampoo on his scalp.

"Jutht be quiet and let me finish."

Sollux took his time washing Eridan's silky black hair. He shampooed it twice and rinsed three times just to bother him.

He grabbed a towel and held opened it.

"Thtep out and be careful E.D." Eridan obeyed and stepped out, wrapping himself in the towel and his matesprit's arms. Sollux carried the seadweller into the respite block and set him on the bed.

Eridan began to to slip his clothes on, one article at a time. Just before he had a chance to put his shirt on, Sollux was on top of him, and he was pinned to the bed.

"S-Sol?" Eridan blushed a deep violet as he felt Sollux's split tongue in his neck. He squirmed as kisses were beginning to litter on the clean flesh.

Sollux moved from his neck and dove into a deep kiss, their mouths moving in harmony. Fingers winding through each other's hair, soft rubs to the base of horns, prompting soft pants from either party.

The taller of the two began to kiss down the smaller's chest, causing him to gulp for air.

"I thee you're a little bothered E.D," The Psion smirked.

"Soool.." Eridan whined not wanting to put up with his antics.

Sollux moved to the fastenings of Eridan's striped pants. In no time flat, he had undone the button and pulled the zipper down, pulling the article of clothing off. Eridan opened his mouth but no sound came as Sollux ran his keyboard worn fingers across the newly uncovered skin.

He smirked as the seadweller tugged at his black t-shirt.

"Don't worry E.D, I'll get it." He pulled his shirt off exposing his lean yet built chest.

"Like what you thee?" He joked. Not knowing how to respond, Eridan flushed deeper and bit his lip. Sollux cupped his face and brought him into a loving kiss.

"I've got you E.D. You don't have to be thcared."

"I-I knoww," Eridan panted. "I-It's just...I-it's just neww f-for me."

"I'll be gentle." Sollux placed another kiss on his mouth. "I promithe." And he kissed him again.

Sollux stood up and slid off his own pants and let them pool on the floor. He climbed carefully back over Eridan and brought him into a deeper tongue filled kiss, effectively rubbing the tent that grew in Eridan's underwear.

Eridan gasped the taller troll's name and began to move his hips trying to create much wanted friction. Sollux dipped his thumbs in Eridan's underwear and pulled them down to his ankles, revealing the violet bulge that thrashed around, begging for attention.

Then the doorbell rung.

"Are you fucking theriouth?" The Psion growled, which in return, made the troll under him feel nervous at the sudden change in tone.

Sollux slid off the bed and threw his pants on and stomped out the respite block towards the living room, leaving Eridan confused on the bed.

Sollux swung open the front door and was surprised to see Karkat at the entrance.

"The fuck are you doing here K.K?" He growled.

"Pip the fuck down Captor," Karkat rolled his eyes. "I just came to talk."

"About what."

"Ampora." Sollux narrowed his eyes, angry sparks flying from them.

"Well I don't goodbye." He began to close the door but the Vantas moved his foot to stop it from closing.

"Wait a second asshole, I'm doing this for you."

"Well I don't want your help K.K. Exthpecially if it'th about my matethprit. Now good bye-"

"I didn't have to come all the way out here-"

"No. no you didn't." Sollux hissed. If all Karkat came to do was tell him what a dumbass he was for being with Eridan, then he can stuff it and go back to his own hive.

"WILL YOU QUIT BEING A PRICK AND JUST LISTEN?!"

"My god K.K, what do you want?"

"Eridan is not the troll you! What complete dumb fuck chooses a fucking shit stain rather than one of the girls THROWING THEMSELVES AT YOU?! IS HE A CHARITY CASE YOU'VE TAKEN IN, BECAUSE ITS DUMB AS HELL AND MAKES YOU LOOK-"

"Lithen K.K, becauthe im only going to thay it once," Sollux snapped, the Sparks from his bio colored eyes growing stronger, fizzing riddled the air waves emphasizing his emotion. "I'm with Eridan becauthe I chothe to, he ith not thome kind of charity cathe! I am actually flushed for him whether you believe it or not!"

As Karkat opened his mouth to speak, Sollux used his psionics to push him out the doorway and slammed the door and locked it behind him. When he turned around, Eridan stood in the doorway of the respite block wearing Sollux's shirt which was too big for his small, skinny frame. Violet tears were gushing down his face and from what he could tell, the his shirt was damp. His body jerked with every sob.

He didn't have to ask to know that he heard everything.

"E.D-" He began but the seadweller ran into the bedroom.

"E.D." Sollux called and ran after him. When he entered he found a sobbing pile of blankets on the bed. He walked over and sat next to it.

"Hey."

"I'm so so sorry!" The pile sobbed.

"Itth not your fault K.K'th a dick."

Eridan uncovered his head and he looked a wreck. His hair was was disheveled, tears were still streaming down his eyes, snot free falling from his nose and Sol's shirt as disheveled as the big shirt on his skinny body. And he looked pissed yet extremely depressed at the same time.

"Sol you shouldn't be wwith me! I'm not good for you!"

"E.D don't lithten to what K.K th'aid-"

"Howw could I not wwhen I knoww he's right?!"

"He doethnt know what he'th talking abou-" Eridan stood on the bed, towering over the Gemini.

"SOL YOU HEARD HIM! TROLLS LIKE ME AND YOU DON'T MIX! YOU'RE THE GUY EVVERY GIRL FALLS FOR AND EVVERYONE ENJOYS BEING AROUND! IM..! I'm just the asshole no one likes and wwants d-dead."

He fell to the bed, head in hands. His sobs grew stronger. Sollux sighed and wrapped his arms around him and brought them both to lay on the bed.

"Eridan." His name sounding foreign on his tongue. "If you're not right for me then I obviouslthy don't give a fuck. It wa'th my decithion wathnt it?"

Eridan wiped his eyes and let out a pathetic sniff.

"Yeah."

"Tho don't lithten to them, K.K and the retht of them ok?"

"I'll try."

After a few more minutes of calming the sobbing seadweller and him finally drifting to much needed sleep, Sollux laid on the bed staring at the ceiling; thinking of different viruses to send to an unsuspecting Karkat.
