Author's Note : Sorry this hasn't been updated in like a week now. I went back to school this week, and I've been so busy that I haven't had time to write anything at all, unfortunately. Just a little message to say that updates will be a lot less often now, because of exams and shit. Fun fun fun. xD
Afterwards, Sollux was flopped out on one of the white couches in Eridan's lounge. He wore an oversized shirt and a pair of plain-white boxers; Eridan had insisted on washing his clothes from the day before.
"Here's your breakfast, sleepyhead." Eridan came in with a pretty tray of various breakfast items, all organized in a perfect position. It was as if he was like a wealthy prince, getting his servant to bring his breakfast in bed. Although it should have really been the other way round.
As Eridan set the tray down on the tea table, Sollux could only gawk at the appetizing-looking food that he was presented with. Two slices of buttered toast, three strips of steaming bacon, two juicy-looking sausages and a dish of scrambled eggs. Not to mention a large mug of piping-hot coffee.
"Damn, ED... You didn't have to make me breakfast." Sollux simpered, poking at a sausage with the fork that was lying neatly on the tray. "I mean, don't you think you did enough for me earlier on?"
"It's not a problem. Hehe, and I kind of enjoyed that too. Guess this is just my way of thankin' you for lettin' me touch your cock."
"Pff, well, it's quite an honour to be allowed to touch this rifle." Sollux took the moment to pat his crotch proudly. Eridan smirked.
"Oh, I don't think it was that big..." Eridan teased, curling his thumb and forefinger into a position which was supposed to imitate something indescribably small.
"Oh fuck off, Ampora." laughed Sollux, folding his arms with a forced sulkiness. "Otherwise I won't let you touch it again."
Eridan settled down next to him, as Sollux began to tuck into his breakfast.
"So... did you enjoy that?" Eridan asked, his voice dripping with lust once again.
"Yeff." Sollux was halfway through a mouthful of egg and sausage. "Very mufch."
"Then... would you like to try it again later?" Eridan traced his forefinger on Sollux's shoulder. Sollux swallowed his mouthful and turned to the blue-eyed boy.
"As much as I enjoyed that, I don't really want sexual shit to be the main reason for our relationship." Sollux said, his playful smile fading into a frown. "One step at a time, eh?"
"I suppose..." mumbled Eridan, looking away for a second.
"But once I sort this whole family mess out, I can be like, your own personal plaything." Sollux added, his toothy grin appearing once again.
"Dude, that better be a fuckin' promise." giggled Eridan, leaning back into the plushy sofa.
"Promise."
After finishing his breakfast, Sollux was having a serious think about the previous events, as he lay outstretched on Eridan's sofa. Am I gay? I really enjoyed that, but... I always thought I liked girls. Maybe Eridan's just a one-off? I don't know how I'd feel about having a serious relationship with him...
"Hey, Sol, what are you thinkin' about?" Eridan jogged him from his thoughts. "You looked like you were doin' some pretty deep thinkin'."
"Yeah..." Sollux nodded slowly, "Just shit. No need to worry."
"Okay." Eridan's expression indicated that he wasn't fully convinced, but he seemed to shrug it off, as he swapped his concerned frown with his brilliant pearly-white smile. "So, what would you like to do? I mean, if you just want to chill and talk for a bit, that's fine. If that's what you want to do."
"Yeah, that sounds good." Sollux merged into the cushiony fabric of the sofa, snuggling into its luxurious embrace. "I don't feel like doing much, to be honest. I'm still shocked about the whole family shit."
"I can completely understand." Eridan replied, "I felt like that when my mother passed away. I just felt like doin' nothin'. Like a big black shroud just meandered over my life."
"Heh, that's an interesting way of putting it." Sollux chuckled quietly, adjusting the position that his stereoscopic glasses balanced on his face. "I just feel like a big pile of shit has been dumped on my life. But I'm not all arty-farty like you, I guess."
"Hmph." Eridan crossed his arms in mock-like sulk. "Arty-farty? Just because I like to pick my vocabulary carefully. But yeah. You will feel like that. But that 'big pile of shit' will soon disappear."
"I hope so. Otherwise I'm going to be stinking of shit all week." Sollux smirked, giving Eridan a sharp jab to the ribs. Eridan grimaced.
"Cod, Sol, it's a fuckin' metaphor." Eridan jabbed him back.
The two exchanged some playful-spirited banter; Sollux trying to awfully imitate Eridan's accent and Eridan complaining about how much of a filthy street scumbag Sollux was. It ended in the two teenagers engaging in a pathetic slapping strife, exploding into laughter as they tried to defend themselves from the other's incoming attacks.
"Cod, Sol, you're pathetic!" Eridan wheezed, protecting his face with his arms. "Haha, stop it!"
"Pap pap pap, not until you take back that comment you made about my glasses." Sollux grinned, happily fanning Eridan's arms away with his palms. "They're retro, not 'gaudy'!"
"Ugh, fine." Eridan sat up, still grinning, as he gently pushed Sollux's invading hands away. He leaned in closer, shoving Sollux down onto the couch. They were so close that their noses were touching; Sollux's chest against his.
"Can I?" Eridan breathed seductively into Sollux's ear, his warm breath tingling as it touched the skin of the taller teen's ear. "I ain't doin' this if you're not okay with it."
"Mmrph..." Sollux grunted. His feelings and thoughts were having a mental conflict inside of his head. Do I really like him? Am I actually gay? Is this right?
This time, he listened to his feelings. Yes. I do.
"Okay..." Sollux murmured, forgetting everything that was bothering him at that precise moment. All he cared about right now was that Eridan was lying on top of him, leaning in closer. Eridan's lips just about brushed Sollux's, when there was a scratchy scrabbling noise coming from the hallway. Eridan jolted off Sollux immediately.
