"Thup Ed?" Sollux said looking into Eridan's eyes.

"Sol... Wwhat are you doin here?" He said his eyes wide as he looked back at Sollux.

"Well I wathnt thuppothe to be here tonight but Kk and Gz dragged me here. Normally Im here Tuethday, Thurthday, and Thaturday." He said as he shrugged and listened to the girls from before start whispering.

"So wwait... you wwere the first one to wwatch me?" Eridan asked as he started to blush deeply and to feel nervous knots in his stomach.

Sollux nodded with a smirk and stood up, making Eridan stand up too. Sollux leaned a little closer to him and put his hand on either side of Eridan on the wall and whispers in his ear, "What time do you get off.", in a voice so deep that Eridan had to wait before he replied or else he would studder.

"Around two." He said before Sollux said,"I'll be waiting outthide for you." Then he turned and walked past the girls who, after watching Sollux leave, stared at Eridan and started asking him questions.

"Hey Captor, what took so long?" Karkat asked, as Sollux made his way back to the table with a slight smirk.

"Just talking to a friend, Kk." Sollux replied as he sat down and waited.

"Oh really? Was it the 'friend' you just watched?" Karkat started to laugh, but got an unexpected answer when Sollux replied in a one word answer, "Yes." Gamzee started laughing as Karkat turned bright red.

A few hours past. Karkat and Gamzee got drunk while Sollux only had two beers. He wanted to stay sober so he would remember he was waiting until Eridan got off. Around one Gamzee and Karkat went on home, though Sollux wouldnt be surprised if Karkat 'stayed the night' with Gamzee. He thought about drinking another beer, but he didnt want to chance it so he got a glass of water.

Like he said, Eridan got off around two and came out in his outfit. Alot of the other people in the bar had appearantly watched one of the shows he put on and cheered when he came out, which only made him blush darkly. He looked around and saw Sollux over in one of the darker corners of the bar. Eridan walked over and looked down at the floor. "I'm off now." was the only thing he said. Sollux looked up and smiled at him before taking his hand and pulling him down beside him.

"Well thatth good. How'd you do?" He asked.

"It was okay." Eridan thought a second before he asked a question in returned. "Sol... how did you not get in trouble when you walked back there, and why did the others crowd around you when you did?"

"Well letth put it thith way. The thong you where dancing to, ith mine."

Eridan's eyes widen as he understood what Sollux ment. "You dance here? When?!"

"Tuethday, Thurthday, and Thaturdayth." Sollux replies, very calm about it.

"Why didnt you tell anyone?"

"Thame reathon youre not."

There was a long silence until finally Sollux said, "Come on. Letth get outta here.", and Eridan nodded as he followed Sollux out. They got to Eridan's car in the back and Eridan got in on passengers side. He was just too tired to drive right now. Sollux drove to his own hive and they got out. Sollux had offered Eridan his place the nights he was working until he got use to being up late and using a lot of energy, which Eridan gladly accepted. Then they walked up to Sollux's place.
