I cannot so sorry enough for how long it has been since I have updates I am SO SORRY! I was really busy with school coming back and all so yeah and I am just getting back into the swing of things so yeah here you guys go SOOOOOOOOOOO sooooooooorry! And I totally wasn't writing this while wearing huge hipster glasses pfft. Did I swear a little bit too much in this chapter :?
Sollux just shrugged as he answered "II don't know, II don't have a dog 2o II wouldn't know" Rex looked up at his owner with gleaming eyes as he stayed nuzzling into his owner.
Eridan didn't want to spend too much time standing outside questioning his dog so he took Sollux in to the house Rex following closely behind.
"You nevver had a proper tour havve you...?" he asked looking back at Sollux with a raised eyebrow. He hoped the other male wouldn't comment on that fact that he should be in bed right now but alas Sollux seemed to read right though his mind.
"Do II really need a tour, don't you thiink you 2hould go 2traiight two bed and bee re2tiing" he asked crossing his arms knowing Eridan was going to be a stubborn little fuck about this. And Sollux was right.
Eridan grabbed sollux's hand not having any nonsense, Sollux having to go with him not wanting the other to strain himself by having to tug his ass around.
They were already in the living room as soon as they entered the house. "WWell this is the front room obvviously and the room ovver there is the kitchen wwhich then leads to the back garden" he walked with Sollux to the stairs and gave a very nervous look, he forgot about them. "Next is the upstairs."
With Sollux's help Eridan didn't have too much trouble getting up a few cringes here and there but other than that he was ok. "Really up here there isn't much...w we havve a spare guest room to the right for you and I'm literally right across the hall... next to your room is a bathroom, and the room next to mine I'd rather say is off limits... dad's room," he explained and looked over at the other Sollux.
Sollux nodded and took account of which door it was. "Ok cool, now go two beds" he said crossing his arms looking serious, he would have to experiment different types of tactics to getting Eridan to do what he is told.
"I'm not tired Sol," he whined at the other and stood up straighter and crossed his arms. "I promise," he said his face going from stubborn to soft while his hands fell to his sides. He sighed; he couldn't really be stubborn right now could he? Sollux shouldn't really be here taking care of him really, so he guessed that he will have to do as he said. But Eridan knows he wouldn't be able to help it, he wouldn't be a brat to Sollux but he wasn't going to give in so easily.
"ED you don't have two 2leep ju2t get iintwo bed weariing clothe2 that are lo2e and comfy, no 2leepiing iinvolved" Sollux would drag his hipster ass into bed if he has to. "Ju2t go and relax. Plea2e?" he asked with puppy dog eyes.
The puppy dog eyes made Eridan melt, damn it. Sollux won this round. He went over to Sollux and cuddled him a little, resting his head underneath the others while letting his arms rest on the others chest. "Ok fine sol, I wwill go to bed" he went into his room and left Sollux to get things ready for himself in the guest room. He left the crack of his door open in case Sollux needed something, not to mention Rex might want to come in later.
Sollux went off into the guest room and put his bag on the bed. It was a decent room, but seriously what was with all the purple in this room? Not really that it mattered, when he wore his 3d glasses the whole world turned purple anyways. He got his laptop out and put his bag down on the floor with his clothes and other stuff. As he sighed onto his name, he figured he could get up and go the WIFI password from Eridan but what if he was getting onto his PJs and Sollux walks on him while he's shirtless, or wearing no pants. It wasn't that long till Sollux was starting to day dream about Eridan almost completely necked before shaking the idea out of his head.
Anyway in another room Eridan was lounging on his bed with his laptop positioned next to his bed. At least for once he had enough room for that since Rex was out with Sollux. He glanced up at a photo frame next to his bed, the only picture of his mom, dad, and himself, even though it was when he was one. A copy of the picture right underneath, the female burnt out in that one and a red X over his dad that he made a long time ago. He looked away from the picture; no he wasn't going to get emotional about this. Although he had been stubborn about sleeping he did actually managed to lie down and get some sleep. He curled up hugging one of his pillows. Hopefully he would finish sleeping those stupid pills off and wouldn't have to have anymore until tomorrow morning. He had managed to move his laptop onto a nightstand and successfully put the picture face down and he snored quietly.
Sollux had managed to hack into the WIFI after hearing the small snores coming from Eridan's room knowing he wouldn't be getting the WIFI password from him anytime soon. He logged onto minecraft and of course Karkat was on there and it wasn't long until he sent Sollux a private chat room which Sollux accepted. Putting his ear phones on keeping one ear out, just in case. He then talked to Karkat, Karkat asking him where the fuck he was and Sollux gave him all the details about what had happened today.
After a few good hours Eridan finally woke up, he wanted to do something for Sollux the thought just stained his mind, the other male had been so nice to him and all he had done was because him trouble. He thought about making Sollux dinner and got up hissing a little before walking over to sollux's room and knocking on the door as he waited for permission to come in.
"You are meant two bee re2tiing ED what are you doiing out of bed?" said a voice from inside which Eridan used as a 'yes you can come in'
"...I slept for a few hours though," he said as he pushed the door open and out of the way looking at him from the doorway. "WWhat do you wwant for dinner? Don't you dare say you're not hungry or don't wwant to eat earthier or I wwill personally come over there and slap you," he warned and offered a little smile.
Sollux laid back a little, fuck food. "Well II gue22 you beetter 2tart 2lappiing me then" no way he eating right now. He just couldn't right now.
"Oh come on Sol please?" he said begging hinted in his voice as he frowned acting like a little kid bouncing slightly in his spot. "Don't underestimate me, I wwill slap you, come on help me figure something out," he whined and crossed his arms frustrated.
"What can ii 2ay ED ii don't eat often" Sollux was really bad for food but it was weird to tell from his body itself, he was skinny as hell but very muscular. He looked like a nerd and a Jocks love child.
He walked over to Sollux and stood next to him frowning and crinkled his nose up. "You are eating, wwhat kind of foods do you like. You havve twwo minutes to answwer before I kill the internet connection," he warned and couldn't help but smirk a little. "Being out in the middle of nowwhere has its perks wwhen there's only one internet connection," he went on and innocently looked at his hands like he had done nothing wrong.
The lack of internet connection defiantly made Sollux look up with an un-happy expression. "What do you have?"
He smiled feeling accomplished from his new discovery on what threats could actually work on Sollux. He moved closer and hesitated a moment before finally sitting down on the edge of his bed and looked over at him. "What do you want? I'll tell you if we have it or if I can make it."
"All ii eat ii2 2omethiing covered iin honey, or miicrowave meal2" Sollux was still going to be a bit stubborn when it comes to food
He groaned and rolled his eyes. "Anything specific or can I just wwarm up something random that could be past its expiration date?" he asked and smiled slightly only to get up again after sitting down.
Sollux couldn't tell if Eridan was being sarcastic or not but to be fair that actually sounds like something Sollux would eat. He shrugged at him "yeah pretty much"
"You're so wweird Sol," he said and laughed before disappearing out the door and started to head downstairs so he could find something for Sollux at least. He made a mental note to start making Sollux eat more, or at least try to eat more normally. He finally made it downstairs and started rummaging through his freezer and fridge looking for food for Sollux and himself.
