Yes, they were about to confess to each other, but someone knocking the door didn't let it happen.
Sollux stood up while saying 'coming', Eridan grunted angry and frustrated.
The door was open now, it was Aradia with company, and her companion was a guy around the same height as Eridan a little bit taller than him; taller than Sollux, had his hair a bit long/short, long for men, short for women, he had those rectangular shaped glasses that looked a bit broken.
And also, this guy was…sweating, without moving, maybe they used the stairs, but, Aradia looked fine.
"What the fuck is wrong with this guy? And who is him?" – asked Sollux to himself.
"AA, what are you doing here?" – asked Sollux nervously.
Aradia only giggled.
"Hello, and didn't you receive my message?" – answered Aradia.
"What message?" – asked Sollux confused.
"I send you some messages via pesterchum, telling you I was going to come and pay you a visit with my new boyfriend" – answered Aradia making emphasis in the word 'boyfriend'.
"Oh" – was all the expression Sollux could say. – "And what's his name or who's him?"
Aradia giggled and started hugging her boyfriend's arm.
"His name is Equius Zahhak and he's a really nice guy that I met in one of my paleontology trips" – answered Aradia looking at Equius while both of them acted like a lovey-dovey couple.
Sollux wasn't sure if close the door and leave them flirting with each other out of his apartment or let them in, it would make an awkward mood maybe, but still he wasn't sure of what to do.
Eridan suddenly appeared in the door standing behind Sollux.
"Eridan Ampora; pleased to meet you" – said politely while shaking hands with Aradia.
"Aradia Megido; the pleasure is mine" – answered Aradia. – "Eridan, meet Equius, Equius meet Eridan"
"Pleased to meet you Equius" – said Eridan.
"The pleasure is mine Ampora" – answered Equius.
"Why don't you come in?" – offered Eridan while moving aside the door and moving Sollux with him to a side.
The couple entered happily, still been all lovey-dovey.
"What" – said Sollux in his mind, everything happened so fast, he didn't even had the time to say something.
"Better than I thought, good job Eridan" – repeat Eridan to himself in his mind, still holding Sollux by his shoulders.
They talk for a while, everything fine, and nothing to neither worry nor be ashamed for.
Except for the embarrassing stories about Sollux when he was a little kid that Aradia told.
Eridan was happy, he was hearing things about Sollux, things that he didn't knew.
Like the time when Sollux started kindergarten and he was in love with bees, so he asked to his parents if they could get him a bee costume, and they actually get him five different styles of bee related clothes and one costume, and how he wore his bee clothes all the time he was in kindergarten and how he wore the bee costume in his kindergarten graduation.
And also he discovered something unexpected, Sollux was raised by two men, two dads, and Sollux loved them, they were his Dads, his daddy and dadda, and they were the reason why Sollux favorite colors were red and blue.
Plus, he also discovered what Sollux's complete name was, since he wasn't just Sollux Captor, he was Solluxander Captor.
All of this things made Eridan even happier, he found someone who's just so, innocent and beautiful at the same time that you could dress up as a woman and people would believe it completely.
When Equius and Aradia left, it was time to confront the unfinished business they had before the unexpected visit.
"I'm going to bed ED" – announced Sollux while yawning, and proceeding to head towards the hallway that directed to the rooms.
Sollux was about to open the door of his room, when suddenly he was cornered by Eridan against his room's door.
He blushed nervously.
"What's going on? Why does ED is making such a serious face?" – asked Sollux to himself.
"Sol…" – Eridan started talking in a simple tone, his voice echoing in Sollux's ears, this event making Sollux blush even harder.
"I think we have something to finish" – declared Eridan smirking, he didn't meant to look like he was harassing his roommate, it was like a reflex.
"Wha…What do you mean?" – asked Sollux nervously.
"Before Aradia arrived, you were about to say something" – answered Eridan while getting closer to Sollux.
"Why don't we talk about this, tomorrow ED?" – asked Sollux while he revolved his door's knob and started opening the door.
Eridan stood there, quietly looking deeply into Sollux's eyes with a strong intensity that emanated burning passion.
"Good night ED" – said Sollux while he looked other way and started entering to his room and began to close the door, until a foot stopped him from doing so, then Eridan re-opened the door.
"No 'tomorrow' and no 'good night'" – declared Eridan while entering Sollux's room – "We need to finish what we had going"
Sollux walked backwards nervously while he entered deeper into his room; and then bumping with his bed and falling in it.
"Is that okay with you Sol? Or you don't want to remember what was happening?" – said Eridan heading forward to Sollux.
Sollux moved to the headboard of his bed, getting far from Eridan.
Eridan climbed into Sollux's bed, cornering Sollux again, this time letting him without escape.
Sollux blushed more and more and didn't dare to look at Eridan.
Eridan hold Sollux's face between his hands, gently.
"Look at me Sol, please" – begged Eridan.
Sollux looked at him; they were now looking at each other into their eyes.
"I don't really know if I should say it" – murmured Sollux.
"Then I'll say it first, I love like you" – confessed Eridan to Sollux.
Sollux looked at him blushing tearing a bit, and then smiling.
"ED…" – started saying Sollux – "I love like you too"
Was the answer that was preceded with make outs and ended in waking up cuddling in the same bed.
Sorry for the time this update took, anyway.
Thanks for the reviews, I love all of you.
