It's there. Watching you. Sitting smugly in the corner behind the coffee machine. You can almost hear it's spidery laughter.

"Feeeeeef!" you whine loudly, and soon Feferi enters the kitchen.

"What is it, Eridan?" she asks, looking adorably confused.

"Aranea's spider. Right there. Watchin' me. Look at it, the cocky bastard," you mutter the last part darkly, glaring at the offending insect. Feferi follows your gaze before shrieking and hiding behind you. You pout at her. "You're fuckin' useless, you know that?"

"I don't like spiders any more than you, you know," she pouts right back at you.

After several failed attempts at apprehending Aranea's precious tarantula, the two of you finally give up and call on Sollux.

"What is going on in here?" he asks, sounding more than a bit miffed and with his hands on his hips. "I was in the middle of a game."

You both give him your best pouting faces. "Aranea's spider got out," you whine. He stares at the two of you before pinching the bridge of his nose and sighing.

"You two are hopeless," he says, grabbing a plastic container and slowly setting it over the spider. He leaves it for a moment, going into the sort-of office and coming back out with a filing folder. He slides the folder under the container and lifts it up, showing you the trapped spider. "Wow, that was so difficult."

"I don't appreciate your sarcasm," you mutter, glaring at him.

"I'm sure you don't," he says, walking into the guest room, presumably slipping the spider back into it's crate. Feferi giggles, kissing his cheek in thanks. He looks at you expectantly.

"What?"

"Aren't you gonna smother me in affection as a thank you?"

"Fuck off," you say, shoving him. He laughs, but you do kiss him appreciatively.
