I'm so so so so so so so so sorry that is has taken me so long to publish this. It took me so long to publish this and I only have realy bad excuses to stand in the place of it ;_;. I really enjoyed writing this story, and I think you liked reading it? I would like to do another such story soon, but it would really help me out if you left a review and told me what you liked about this adventure! On to the next ride, Allon-sy!

"W-weh! W-weh!" Eridan cried out in the darkness. The darkness didn't answer; it only gave light echoes that would dissipate to leave him alone once more. He had retreated off into that cold, dark, stony room that just last night had held so much bliss for him. Now it just stood to mock him. Table and chairs were still over turned in the far corner, and holy cuffs still lay in yellow mustardy blood beside him. He stroked them half-heartedly and began to reminisce about his dear Sollux, but only felt himself begin to sob harder.

"Sol!" Eridan cried, thrusting his back against the cold unforgiving wall. As his violet purple tears streamed like a river down his high royal cheekbones as he recalled the LAST time this had happened.

The room of them was vibrating with rage. Two young trolls stood in the middle of a respite block arguing about their flushed romance, or, the lack of it more like. The bed they once shared together now lay empty and disheveled. Sheets had begun to unravel themselves from the bed frame and litter themselves across the floor. Tension's final straw had been cut, and everything hit the whirling device.

"What the fuck ED? I thought we had something here."

"I thought so too, but I guess I was wrong about romancin' a low blood." Eridan fired back, tossing his cape over his shoulders and reaffixing it to his favorite position.

"You know, I thought you were above this kind of bull shit Ampora." Sollux lisped angrily as he pulled his Gemini shirt back on.

"Fuck you, stupid piss blood!" Eridan aimed a kick at the apex of the opposite troll's waist.

Sollux caught the kick easily, and pushed back at the attacker. "You're not taking this break-up very well at all are you douche bag?" He used the rays of his optic rays to subdue Eridans arms and thrust them towards their owner's face. "Why are you hitting yourself?" Whack "Why are you hitting yourself?" Whack "God, you must love this, huh?" WHACK

"Stop it Sol!"

"No!"

"You wouldn't want me either if you knew we share quadrants for Feferi!"

"Fuck you, ED. That has nothing to do with this." Sollux said, allowing Eridan's arms to fall to his sides. "You told me you felt red for me…why can't you just let that go?"

"Because Sol, we can't just have a red auspice. Is that even a thing?"

"It could be…look; Feferi doesn't even need to be a part of this." Sollux shushed Eridan's angry out bursts and patted his arm delicately.

"But, you love her." Sollux did not deny this. "An, I love her too."

"Is she more important to you than us?" he looked sadly into the high blood's eyes.

Eridan didn't have to answer, the look he gave Sollux spoke paragraphs.

Sollux threw up his hands in a fit of anger and desperation. "It's over, Ampora." Sollux lisped his goodbye and departed from the room, still sans his shirt.

It wasn't too terribly long after that when Feferi finally cracked; she picked her nerdy Sollux because she said he was "so much cuter!" than Eridan. Every time Eridan thought back to this memory, it gave him body shakes. Chills ran from his royal spine up into his twitchy gills. As he looked down at his usually well pampered and lotion hands, he noticed their fading glow. He rubbed his right hand against his cheek. Yes, even his old romantic flame felt rough to him. It really fucking sucks when your own hand rejects you. The whole of his body felt hollow, and empty; almost as if Sollux had smashed open his hard shelled crab lusus exterior to devour all of his squishy violet flesh.

Though, that sounded a bit fuckin' nasty, in all realities.

But nonetheless this comforted the bitchy Ampora boy very little. "FUCKIN' SOL! How could you do this to me?" He kicked at the chair nearest him, shattering the pathetic wooden device into smithereens.

The table went next; he lifted it and smashed the thing against the back wall of the room, uneaten old dinner and all. The poor thing didn't stand a chance. One tiny piece managed to scuttle its way underneath the door in what could best be described as a last ditch escape effort to evade Ampora's rage. The lone survivor made it a whole five feet down the hall before coming to a rest in the middle of the hallway.

All that was left in the room were the holy cuffs now; Eridan picked them up and pulled them into a steady back swing as his tormented thoughts exploded in his head. "He never loved me!" "How could he break it off like that! Sollux doesn't deserve a highblood, he should get a selfish douchebag just like himself." He beat the heavy chains against the wall furiously, not stopping even as the fatigue built in his trained arms. The eons old chain finally snapped in his hands, and he collapsed to the floor once more in backlash.

"AHHH!" his horrible scream rang out around the room, shaking the door frame a slight bit. Eridan cradled his arm delicately; the pain hit him in incessant waves that made his pierced ears ring and his vision white out. He lay down on the floor in the grub position stroking his arm slowly. The violet rivulets from his eyes had ceased and he began to rock himself on the floor. "He should get a selfish douchebag just like himself," Eridan thought. "A selfish douchebag just like me…"

"BAM!" The door exploded open, nearly provoking Eridan to piss himself in surprise. He rolled toward the door, protectively holding his injured arm in the case of a violent assailant.

There before him stood Sollux.

"Sol? What are you doin' here?" Eridan quivered.

"I heard your bitching from across the meteor, and… who was I to stay away?"

Eridan jerked up to a sitting position. "No way you're comin' around me any fuckin' more, not after what you did to me Sol."

"ED, I'm sorry, I…I guess I really just over reacted, I didn't want to be hurt like last time." He poked at Eridan's arm. "What happened there?"

"I bet you ARE surprised to find that your rejection shatters fuckin' bones!"

"Come on, we need to get Kanaya to set this so it doesn't heal wrong."

"What's this 'we' here?" Eridan demanded angrily.

"ED…I want you back. I'm sorry, I made a mistake…but you messed up like this once too, remember?" he looked delicately in Eridan's eye, "Will you forgive me?"

"Why the fuck should I?"

"You shouldn't, but I forgave you last time, didn't I?"

Eridan looked at Sollux's mismatched eyes, and could have sworn they glimmered for just a second before he shut them once more "Please ED, I made a mistake."

Eridan took Sollux's hands into his, and ran his own touching receptacle down his partner's face. "It's okay Sol…don't fuckin' do that to me again."

"I won't, I promise." He looked again up into Eridan's eyes. "We'll just take it slower this time around." His eyes dropped to the injured elbow and he rubbed it tenderly. "Let's go get you bandaged up sweetie-bee."

The two troll boys took off down the hallway; hand in loving hand, in undoubtedly the greatest story ending of all.

"JESUS FUCK!" Sollux shouted as he bent to remove the giant splinter from his foot.
