Feferi took a swig from the grape flavored Faygo and smiled.
"I seriously cannot understand why our friends dislike this. It's actually quite good!"
Gamzee smiled. "Thanks, fish sis. I guess you and I are the only ones who can taste the miracles. You should all up and try a flavor besides grape!" Feferi capped the soda and put it down for the time being, settling into Gamzee's horn pile.
"I really enjoy hanging out with you, Gamzee! So far my only piece of advice to you would be to invest in more comfortable furnishings. These horns are a little uncomfortable." Feferi picked up a horn from the pile and honked it for emphasis. That made Gamzee chuckle.
"I suppose that ain't too bad an idea. Maybe I can help chainsaw sister make a couch!"
"That would be nice!" said Feferi. Her mind wandered over to Gamzee once again. She pictured sitting with him on said couch, snuggling up close to him, taking in his sugary sweet scent, and feeling his arm cradle her. However, she pushed the thought back, not wanting to blush in front of him again. She believed she was developing flushed feelings for Gamzee.
"Well anyway," said Gamzee, taking a seat next to Feferi on the horn pile. "There's not a whole lotta stuff we can do now aside from talk. My hive is kinda boring for other people. It's more like a little haven for me, y'know?"
She smiled perhaps a little too hard, nervous at how close he is. "Yeah, I understand. If you were in my hive, you would be bored out of your mind."
"Aw, I don't think so," said Gamzee. "You're the most fun troll I've ever spoken to! I'm sure your hive would be fun. If, y'know, I could all up and breathe underwater."
"I'm the most fun?"
"Fuck yeah!" said Gamzee. "You've only been to my hive twice, but you always say lots of interesting things, you don't yell at me or try to lick me, and you like Faygo! Hell, we should definitely hang out more!"
He suddenly pulled Feferi into a big hug while she was still caught with the thought of licking him, and she blushed immensely at his swift embrace. She hugged back, no longer able to push back the blushing, and grinned.
"Aww, thank you Gamzee! You're so nice, and you're fun too!" She mentally berated herself. Wow, that sounded so awkward!
He pulled away and gave her another one of his famous dopey grins. "Heheh, looks like we'll both be havin' lots of fun in the future." Then he looked at the clock. "Oh shit, time flew like a motherfucker. Shouldn't you be headin' back to your hive? Eribro might be worried sick."
She thought about leaving for a moment before shaking her head and grinning. "Oh, forget Eridan! I'd like to stay a little bit longer, if that's fine with you." She turned more to face him, eager to continue speaking with Gamzee.

Eridan decided he would swim by Feferi's hive before visiting Gamzee. However he spotted Feferi just entering her home, looking tired. He called her name and she turned to him, smiling and holding the door open for him.
"Good evening Eridan," she said with a yawn.
"Goodness Fef," he said. "Wwhere wwere you? Do you havve any idea howw late it is?"
"Very late, I know," she said. However, she grinned, as if recalling something earlier. "I was talking with Gamzee almost all night before I fell asleep. He woke me up and told me he was sorry he kept me awake. I told him it was no big deal, and that was that."
"Wwhy do you look so happy?" asked Eridan.
Feferi blushed. "I was so weary that he had to carry me into the water. It was so sweet of him!" She giggled and dropped onto her couch, stretching. Eridan didn't look too pleased. Was she falling for Gamzee? That couldn't possibly bring good news. Gamzee could hurt her, or worse.
"Fef, I think wwe need to talk," said Eridan, taking a seat next to Feferi.
"I would, Eridan," said Feferi, yawning again. "But I would very much like to go to sleep now." She stood up. "Gamzee will be busy tomorrow, so we can hang out in the afternoon, okay?"
That seemed to make Eridan feel better. "Okay, that sounds good. See you tomorrow, Fef."
He gave Feferi a hug before stepping out and letting her sleep, swimming back to his hive. He would surely let Feferi know his thoughts tomorrow, and hopefully she wouldn't be too upset with him. However, Eridan felt it was necessary to let Feferi know how he felt about her hanging out with Gamzee, and her feelings towards him in general.
