You are Eridan Ampora and you watch shock spread over Nepeta's face. You are tired of the way the emporer treats you. Always telling you you can't be the emporer. About how weak you are. You are not weak, you'd make a better emporer than that nooklicking whore. He never even did anything for the empire just sit on his little ship is space. You really want to kill him. Yeah, you should calm down. You do want to get rid of the rebellion, but it makes more sense to get them on your side to defeat the emporer. You could flush them out of hiding and take them all out at once, besides, the enemy of your enemy is your friend, right?

"So, wwhat do you say, Nep?" you realize she still hasn't said anything, or you've been to engrossed in your thoughts to notice.

"I... don't know. I'm not ready to actually kill someone," she says.

"You don't havve to do the killing, I just need you to get the rebels on our side," you realize you said "our". You've never done that. It's "you" and them not "us" and them. Nepeta seems as shocked as you are. You aren't known for caring about others, quite the opposite in fact.

"... I'll help mew. But I have a condition," she won't look at you. You think she's scared, but you don't understand why. You've proven you love her... right?

"Sure, Nep, anything," you're filled with a devotion you didn't know you had.

"Mew have to go see how lowbloods live," she looks at you in the eye. You can tell she's serious, but you find the idea ridiculous.

"Wwhy?"

"To be a good emporer. You have to know how your citizens live, Eridan. That's what my ancestor wanted," she doesn't use the pun she usually does when she says your name. You realize this is the first time she's called you by your first name. You think about her request, about what you know about the rebellion, the failed revolution all those sweeps ago.

"I... I'll do it."

Q: I should probably edit the summary. I don't know. Hope you enjoy
