How did that last chapter get so many views?! XD oaky, well, here's chapter two for you then :3 also, note. I have a headcanon for humanstuck feferi. She makes fish puns a lot because she's a marine biologist and is used to using the terms at work, and she tries to cover them up and correct herself a lot. Weird but I like it XD
"Hey. Hey. Hey, ED. Heeeeey. Oh my god, wake up already."
"You know what I ju'tht realized? You look like a fish. You've got a fishy fac'the."
"Wake up, je'thu'th!"
"Hey, hey, ED, wake up, wake up wake up wake up. I'm hungry."
"Oh my god, fish-dick, wake up and feed me or I 'thwear I'll 'thtart jumping up and down on your 'thtomache."
Eridan was pretty sure that last comment was a bluff but he wasn't going to risk it. He let out a low, irritated groan and opened one stormy gray eye. "Fish-dick? W-What the hell, Sol."
"You look like a fish and you're a dick for 'thlamming the door in my face la'tht night and making me cry." Sollux retorted. He was sitting on Eridan's chest, paws tugged neatly under himself and duel tails twisted around him comfortably. Eridan grumbled something ineligible and pushed him off so that he could check the time-only to find he'd overslept at least an hour.
SHIT!
"Gah!" The teen was out of his bed and digging around for clothes in a minute. Sollux tilted his head, slightly confused by this, only to squeal loudly when Eridan scooped him up in one arm and literally ran down the stairs. He was set on the counter while his human acquaintance flipped open his phone and texted somebody furiously.

God, she was so amazing and adorable. Eridan sighed once then snapped his phone shut. It was too bad she already had a "gillfriend-oh wait, I mean girlfriend!" It still appalled Eridan that she'd rather got out with random vet girl than be his girlfriend. Sigh. He shook himself out of his thoughts and turned to Sollux, who was sitting with his paws hanging over the side of the counter with a brooding expression. "Are you done? Becau'the I want honey."
What the hell happened to the adorable purring mess Eridan'd carried up the stairs the night before?
"Are you bipolar or somethin'? Because you're actin' a hell of a lot more annoyin' now-w than you w-were yesterday." Eridan asked, while digging around in his cabinets for a jar of honey. He had no idea why the hell Sollux would want honey, Jesus, that was so random, but didn't bother asking. He just wanted Fef to hurry up so he could leave for collage already.
"Ye'th I am actually." Sollux snapped from his spot, tails twitching. "'Tho shut the fuck up and deal with it."
"I can tell already you're going to get on my nerwes." Eridan grumped, handing his troll-oh fuck it, Sollux was his troll, he was in his house, sitting on his counter-the jar, and Sollux immediately ripped the top off with his teeth and greedily starting licking the syrupy substance. "Mmmmm!" He pet out a purr and fall back against the counter to let it drip into his open mouth. Once again Eridan's heart lurched at the adorable.
"Take it you like that stuff?"
"Oh hell ye'th." Sollux stopped eating/drinking just long enough to fixate a cool look at Eridan. "Honey i'th the be'tht thing in the world."
Their conversation was interrupted by loud knocking. Eridan let out a sigh of relief and went to invite Feferi in. He was momentarily thrown off, however, when he was tackled in a tight hug. "Hey Eridan! Glub glub! I mean, gah, I don't know what I meant!"
Eridan laughed and hugged her back; heart lurching in his chest. God, he loved her so much...Jade was such a lucky bitch. "Heya, Fef. Listen, I don't hawe much time to talk, I'm late, but come on and I'll go intr'aduce you to Sollux."
At this Feferi let go and grinned. "Oakydokes! Lead the way, Mr. Ampora!" Eridan smiled at her again before turning around and leading her back into the kitchen.
"Sol! Did you finish that entire jar already? You're gonna get a stomachache!"
"I don't care." Sollux snapped bluntly before tossing his licked-completely-clean jar to the side and stretching. His eyes quickly settled on Feferi-and his jaw dropped a little before he flashed a wide smile at her. "My god, you're pretty!"
To this Eridan blinked. "W-Whoa w-whoa! W-What the fuck, Sol!" Feferi only giggled and grabbed Sollux, pulling him into a gentle hug, which the little troll was more than happy to return. "Aww, thank you! My glub, I mean cod, I mean god, you're such a cutie!"
Sollux laughed a bit at the fish puns-and oh god he started purring, that little asshole was purring. "Thank'th, I could 'thay the 'thame about you."
"Awww! You're cuter than a cuttlefish! Eridan, your troll is such a charmer! We're gonna be besties, I just know it! I bet Aradia could come over for a playdate too!" Feferi's smile was huge as she laid a big kiss on Sollux's forehead.
This was not acceptable.
Sollux, you mischievous devious fucking flirt.
Eridan couldn't believe he'd just been outcharmed by a troll.
"Okay, w-well, keep the flirtin' under control, I'we really got to go. Fef, just giwe him w-what he asks for-okay, hell, you already know-w how-w to take care of a troll. And for fuck's sake, giwe him a bath!" Eridan huffed, absconding out the door and to his car before he could get a response.
Once there, he turned the heart up, put his feet on the dashboard, and pouted.
