Chapter 14: Food For Thought.
After shopping, Toni and Eridan went to her truck to make a head for home. They loaded her truck, and hopped in. "Okay Eridan, ready to head home?" Toni asked, while starting her truck. He gave her a nod and a smile. "Yep!" He answered her, while buckling his seatbelt. Toni drove off, in the direction of Eridan's house. "...May I?" Eridan asked, while reaching his hand to the radio dial.
Toni nodded her head. "Sure! Why not?" She said with a grin. Eridan turned on the radio, and instantly the song, 'Fancy' came on. Toni began to rap some of the song. "I'm so Fancy! You already know! I'm in this fast lane, from here to Tokyo!" She sang. Eridan looked a bit surprised. This was the first time he heard her sing. "Wwow! You have a vvery good singin' vvoice, Tone!" Eridan commented, with a smile.
Toni grinned at his comment. "A-aah thanks!" She said sweetly. Eridan smirked. "Wwhale I'm just telling you the truth." He responded. The duo sang together a few songs before they reached the house. They were both laughing, and singing, as well as seat dancing. Eridan was feeling a bit better, and looking much cheerier.
They finally reach Eridan's house, and park. "Well, we're here matey! Let's get inside!" Toni said, while unbuckling her seatbelt. He was already ahead of her, bringing in the items from the store. "Come on sloww poke!" He called out to her. Toni jumped out of her car, locking it before running in after him. "Slow down dummy! I don't like running!" She said, while doing a speed walk.
She got in, and closed the door behind her. "Whoo! You run too fast!" She said, while catching her breath. Eridan snickered at her, while setting down some of the items. She looked over at SeaHorse Dad, who looked very impatient. "Hey, did you feed him?" She asked Eridan, while approaching Seahorse dad. He looked surprised. "Oh snap! I didn't!" He said, while looking nervous.
Toni calmed him down. "Hey hey matey, calm down. I've got him. Here you go big guy. Fresh food." She said sweetly, while setting some new food down for him. He neighed in happiness before chowing down. Toni smirked, before sitting down on the couch. Eridan was setting up his new TV, programming it with all the functions. Toni played on her phone, waiting for Eridan.
Soon he was done, and a small blast of music came out from the TV that scared the daylights out of both of them. Eridan rushed to turn down the volume. As soon as the volume was down, Toni crawled from behind the couch. He looked at her, and giggled. She looked up at him. "Whats so funny? You got scared too!" She said with a pout.
Eridan couldn't help it, Toni looked like a wriggler crawling out of a cave. "You look so silly! You look like a wwriggler like that!" He snickered. Toni giggled as well, and wiggled her bottom. "I better WIGGLE my way out! Ngh ngh ngh!" She said, goofily while 'wiggling' her way out. Eridan started laughing hard at her silly movements. Toni snickered, and finally got herself out. Eridan's face was flushed with a light violet from laughing so hard.
Toni fanned him gently. "Heh heh, breathe mate! Breathe!" She said with a chuckle. He soon caught his breath, and sat upwards. "That wwas fun…" He said, softly panting. Toni snickered, and gave him a hug. His cheeks flushed, and gave her a hug back. She soon rose to her feet. "Come on, let's get you something in your tummy." She said with a smile, while holding her hand out to Eridan. He grabbed her hand, and got to his feet. "Okay Tone!" He said, smiling.
They go into the kitchen, and Toni pulls out a skillet to put on the stove. Eridan helps by turning on the stove, and pulling out the ingredients. Toni lightly oils the skillet before setting anything in it. The oil heats up, and Toni takes the frozen shrimp, and throws it in the pan. She lightly seasons it with her basic seasonings, and adds a bit of diced garlic.
Eridan was wandering around in the kitchen, taking in the nice aroma of food. He was nearly drooling from the smell alone. She looked at him, and saw him staring at her, which made her jump a bit. "Eep! Don't STARE at me like that!" She said, while turning back to the food. His cheeks flushed. "Sorry! Your cookin' smells so good!" He said, while walking up behind her, and setting his chin on her shoulder.
Toni let out a small giggle. Eridan stood there, watching the food being made. The smell was incredible, and was almost intoxicating. Or was that Toni's new perfume? It was something sickly sweet, that made Eridan cling onto Toni a bit. Toni looked at Eridan, and swatted him with her large ears. "Hey hey now! No sleepin' on the jerboa here!" She said, with a giggle.
He jerked upwards. "A-aagh." He groaned from the sudden swat from his friends ear. "Hey. Wwhat wwas that for?" Eridan asked, with a pout. Toni couldn't help but snicker. "Well, you were fallin' asleep on me." She said, while sticking her tongue out at him. He crossed his arms. "No I wwasn't. I wwas merely wwatching you cook. Thats all." He responded. Toni just giggled.
Eridan smiled again, watching Toni cook in his kitchen. She looked so intuned with cooking, like it was an art, and she was creating a masterpiece. Toni was adding in a few secret seasonings to the food. She covered it up in a way that only she could see it. He tried his damndest to look, but she was quick. He pouted, and he poked TJ playfully. "Hey, Tone. Wwhat did you put in there?" He asked her.
She looked at Eridan. "Ah, just some secret spices I use." She answered. He poked her again. "I can sea that. But wwhats in it?" He asked. She wiggled at his poking. "A-aah. Now you stop that! I can't tell ya! Then it wouldn't be a secret!" She said, softly giggling. Eridan smirked. "...I'll make you talk Tone!" He said with an evil grin slowly crawling on his face. Toni looked nervous, wondering what he was going to do.
She held out the spatula at him. "H-hey! No funny business! I am cooooooking!" She squeaked at him. He stepped back. "I'll get you wwhen you're not expectin' it." He said, while crossing his arms. Toni kept cooking, and her eyes glanced at him. "Oh no you won't. I'll getcha back." She said with her tongue sticking out. Eridan stuck his tongue back out at her.
After a few more minutes, Toni was done cooking the food. "Eridan! Foods done! Go and wash yer hands!" She announced to him, while carrying the plates of food, to the living room. She didn't see Eridan around. She set the plates down, and walked back into the kitchen to grab drinks. "Let's see… I think he wants a cold half and half tea…" She muttered, while grabbing out his pitcher.
She sets it on the counter, and pulls out a cup, and fills it full of ice. "I think he likes his drinks cold." She said thoughtfully. She opens a drawer, looking around for some straws. She was busy looking, while Eridan crept up behind her, slowly and quietly. Poor Toni didn't see him coming. "Hm… Where in the bloody hell are those damned straws?" She asked herself, while scratching her head.
Eridan grabbed Toni swiftly, and held her with his strength. She let out a loud scream, while struggling. "A-aah! Let me go! E-eridan! Help me!" She squeaked out, while squirming. She felt the person's warm breath in her ear. "...Tell me your secret seasonings Tone…" He said. Toni stopped struggling, and looked at the arms that were wrapped around her.
Golden rings on both hands, and a few scratch marks. She was silent. "...Eridan. I'm going to harm you." She said, dully. Eridan snickered. "Not wwith my arms around you Tone. Noww, tell me, or else." He said, with a toothy grin. She turned her head a bit to look at him. "Or else what?" She asked him. He grabbed both of her arms with one hand and pinned them against the wall.
He had an evil grin on his face. "...Are you ticklish Tone?" He asked. Toni's face looked a bit nervous. "...N-no?" She said, hesitantly. With that, he started tickling the poor boa. She let out a loud squeak. "A-aah! Y-you mons-stahaha!" She yelled. Eridan snickered. "You gonna tell me?" He asked her, pausing for just a moment. She was breathing heavily, her legs shaking. He inched his finger up her stomach, to one of her tickle spots.
She was panting, looking at his finger. "N-noo. No more…" She rasped. "Tell me then Tone." He said, while letting her go. She dropped to her knees in front of Eridan, and looked up at him with a tired expression. "... Garlic, ginger, sugar, onion, and lemon pepper." She admitted to him. Eridan looked puzzled. "...Is that it?" He asked her, while crouching down to her level. She nodded softly. "Y-yes." She answered. He helped her up, and took her into the living room to rest on his couch. "Here Tone. Sit here. I'll get the straws, and drinks." He said, while patting her shoulder.
She nodded her head, while leaning back into the couch. He walked into the kitchen, grabbed the drinks, and straws, before returning out to TJ. "Here wwe go." He said, while sitting the drinks on the table. She glanced at him. "...I'm going to get you back. I hope you know that." She said, while sitting upwards. He smirked. "I already knoww. I was nervous that you might've tried to poison me" He replied, while sitting next to her.
Toni grabbed the remote to the TV, and turned it on. "What? I would NEVER poison you!" She said, as she scrolled around for a second, until Eridan pointed out a show that looked interesting. "How about that one Tone?" He asked. She shrugged, pushed play, and set the remote down. The show starts off rather simple, a girl in college who's trying to make it through, while living with her talking dog.
They both dig into their food, only to realize it had gotten cold. "A-aah mmf. Dammit. Cold. I'mma go heat this up. Want me to nuke yers?" Toni asked him, while standing up with her plate. He gave a small nod. "Sure. Can't hurt." He answered, while giving her his plate. She takes it into the kitchen, sets his in the microwave first, and nukes it on 2 minutes. She waits patiently for his food to be done.
As soon as the machine beeps, she takes it out, and stirs it around to distribute warmth throughout the food. She places it back in for one more minute, while holding onto his fork. Absentmindedly, she places it into her mouth. Eridan pokes his head in to be sure she's okay. "Everythin' okay in here?" He asked. She nodded, with his fork in her mouth.
He steps in with his cup. "Don't mind me, I'm just puttin' a bit more sugar in here." He said, while setting his cup down and pulls out his sugar. Toni hummed a bit at him, while waiting for the food. Soon, it beeps again, and she takes it out. "Here you go. All heated now." She said, while setting his plate next to him. "Thanks Tone." He said. He notices that his fork is missing. "Hm?" He looks back at Toni.
Toni was still over by the microwave, heating her food up, while suckling on his fork. Eridan's cheeks flushed for a second. Toni wasn't just holding it in her mouth, she had licked off some of the flavor from the food remnants, and gently swirling her tongue around it. Eridan had cleared his throat, getting Toni's attention. She looked up at him, his fork drooping in her mouth.
They stared at one another. "...My fork?" He said, while holding out his hand. She took it out of her mouth, and gave it to him. Surprisingly, it was void of any major slobber. "Sorry mate. I forgot that was your fork and all… Just wash it off." She said, while walking out to the living room with her food. Eridan stared at the fork, and he set it on his plate with his food. He put a bit of sugar in his drink, and quickly hurries back to the living room with his food and sweetened drink.
He settles back in, and plays the show. They happily chow down on their food, while watching the comedic show. They giggle during some of the funny bits, and comment on some of the characters. "Okay, I won't lie. That damned dog is pretty freakin' funny!" Toni said with a giggle. "Mmm, I like the brother a bit more. He seems to have more to say than the dog." He said, while wiping his mouth.
After a few episodes, Toni stood up and stretched herself out. Eridan stretched his arms out to the side, and accidently grazed his hand on Toni's ass cheek. She looked back at him. "So first you tickle me out of my secret seasonings, and NOW you're grabbin' my arse?" She said, while looking peeved. Eridan let out an audible gulp, looking nervously up at Toni.
Eridan wasn't ready for what she was going to do. She sat down on his lap, her bottom pressing against his groin. Eridan grunted as he felt the sudden warmth of Toni's bottom on him. "Hope you don't mind me sitting here." Toni said, while looking back at him. His cheeks flushed to a dark purple, his eyes lowering to her plump rear end. His mind started to go hazy, as he tried to focus on something else.
Toni grabbed the remote, and started to look for something else. "Anything else you wanna watch mate?" She asked him. Eridan cleared his throat, before giving an answer. "W-wwhale… Maybe… A crime show?" He asked. She shrugged, and looked for a crime show to watch. Eridan sat there, trying to keep his hands to himself. He bit his lower lip, gripping his couch, claws digging into the fabric.
Soon, Toni finds a show that they would both enjoy, and pushes play. She looks back at Eridan out of the corner of her eye. "...Are you… Comfortable?" She asked, her tone was almost sultry. Eridan looked a bit uncomfortable for a moment, causing Toni to get up. She looked back at him. "O-oh gosh Eridan! I didn't mean to hurt you!" She said, feeling worried.
Her eyes lowered to his crotch, and… He was wiggling down there. Her cheeks grew a dark purple. "O-oh my! A-aah…" She said while immediately looking away. Eridan looked down at his active parts, and covered himself up. "W-wwhale you shouldn't havve sat on my lap…" He said with a pout. Toni looked at Eridan, who was crossing his legs. "Do you want me to… Let you handle that?" She asked him.
Eridan let out a small growl from his throat. He stood up, facing Toni, and grabbed her wrists. Toni's ears drooped, realizing she might be in danger. "A-aah, Eridan… P-please…" She whimpered. He had a decently good grip on her, to the point where his claws might've been digging into her. He soon let her wrists go, trying to behave himself. Toni watched Eridan sit himself back down on his couch, trying to restrain himself.
Toni rubbed her sore wrists, while looking at Eridan. She sat down next to him, not making eye contact, or saying a word. Eridan didn't say anything for a moment. All was silent between the two. After what seemed like hours but was only minutes, Eridan finally spoke up. "...I'm… Sorry Tone." He said softly. "Its just… W-whale… Wwhen you wwait for someone for so long… You just…" He started, while putting his head in his hands.
Toni scooted closer, and rubbed his back. "Eridan, its okay mate. I understand." She said, pulling him into a hug. Eridan flinched, and sort of wiggled himself. "T-tone…" He groaned. Toni stroked Eridan's face, and leaned in. "There was little thing I didn't mention to you mate…" She said, while staring into his eyes. Eridan's cheeks flushed, wondering what she was going to tell him.
Before anything could be said, there was a knock at Eridan's door. They both looked at the door, and jumped up. Eridan pulled out his rifle while Toni pulled down one of Eridan's prized harpoons. They both approached the door, and counted to three before opening the door. Once the door was opened, they held their weapons in their hands, only to find out… It was the group! Everyone was there, Karkat, Dave, Rose, Kanaya, Lexii, and Rexii.
Toni frowned, and had her harpoon slapped out of her hands by Karkat. "Hey! Hey… why are you here early?" She asked, while letting them in. "Karkat didn't feel safe with stayin' at our place. So he wanted to come here, and we told the others." Dave answered, while patting Karkats back. Toni rolled her eyes. "Fine. I hope you guys all have your night attire." She said, while crossing her arms.
They all told them that they had their sleep clothes, and got settled in. Lexii approached Eridan with a couple of bags. "Here Eridan. We bought groceries so that we don't eat yours all up." She said sweetly, while offering the bags up to him. Eridan looked down at Lexii, and smiled. "Thanks Lex." He said with a smile as he grabbed the bags. Lexii gave him a big grin. He went into the kitchen and started to put the food away, while Toni got everyone comfortable.
Rexii walked up to her with a cage. "Here, I even grabbed your pets." He said, while handing her the cage full of squeaking rodents. Toni grabbed the cage, and looked in, seeing all of her four little guinea pigs. "Aaaa thanks Rex." She said with a smile. He gave her a thumbs up. Soon, everyone got settled in, and started to relax. They luckily relocated, and weren't seen by anyone.
Wow, what a way to ruin a moment, amirite? XD Well I hope you guys liked this chapter, and I hope to see you all in the next chapter! Bye bye for now!
