This is a double drabble, people. In other words, I decided to post up two drabbles today reflecting on two pairings with Eris. Because she's an otherwise minor-but-recurring character, but I find her very interesting, especially when I write out my views of her in relationships. I'm really in a rush today to do homework and whatever so I'll spare you the rest of the author's note.
And I want to thank Crossover Fiend and KitKatBarStory for reviewing practically every chapter of this. You guys rock, I'm glad you find these drabbles interesting enough to review them.

Pairing: HossxEris
Maybe Grim was right, Adonis was a bit clichéd. But she was flesh, divine flesh, and would not stand to be paired with skulls and bones. A better lover awaited somewhere, and while Hoss fit neither her standards of cleanliness nor creativity, he possessed something attractive in his stupidity.
There had been the occasional moment when she would lose control, but for the most part, love was a boat on fair seas. He was impulsive, proud, rash, too "manly", but willing to protect her with the only ways he could. Nothing she wanted, but under the surface… everything she needed.

Pairing: GrimxEris
At first, she'd cringed at the thought of being held in arms of bone, but it wasn't so bad. They were warm bones—warm, and ready to comfort in the only way bones could: by touch. Her blonde hair would frame the white, her full red lips against an empty black mouth. Whispers would pass between them, meaningless words. Crush...chaos...bones, bones, bones...first kiss...remember?
She remembered. Her Apple was clutched to her breast with one arm as they embraced, her pale hand cupping it like a living heart between them. Really, hugging a skeleton wasn't so bad.
