Same warnings as before.
Implied Gam/Kat if you squint. Sorry if you don't like it. :(
It won't really affect the story at all so just ignore it if you want XD

Chapter 3: -Eridan, You )(ave a Wonderful Way of Meeting People 8D
Welp.
Feferi seems mad.
"Fef! What are you doin' here?" I stood letting the pencil and sketch book fall to the floor.
"Eridan! What am I doing here? What are you doing leaving the restaurant without even calling me? I had to leave in the middle of a meeting to go help out because NO ONE KNOWS THE RECIPE TO THE SEASALT CARAMEL SPECIAL BESIDES YOU, ME, AND GAMZEE!" she had stomped towards Eridan and began shouting at him on full rage. It went on for a few minutes before she simmered down.
"Fef...I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble..." I hated when she was mad, or sad, or anything that didn't fit her smiling personality.
Her anger began to fade into worry. The tone she spoke with was soft and concerned,"Eridan, what happened?"
I closed my eyes trying to figure out an emotion that she would buy. I didn't want to talk to her about what happened. I didn't want to worry her. I placed a slightly angered expression onto my face, "Can we not talk about this now Fef? I rather talk about miracles with Gam than what happened. Besides, can't you see that I have a guest here?" I made my tone somewhat arrogant so she would think I was normal as usual.
Sadly, she knows me too well.
"Eridan..." I looked at her with pleading eyes now. Her expression turned into one of frustration but she thankfully dropped the subject.
Sollux had sat through the whole conversation very awkwardly trying to find something to distract him. He had picked up one of my sketchbooks and was flipping through it.
"Oh! I'm so so sorry about intruding!" she covered her mouth with her hands and a light blush spread across her face.
I was really worried on what Feferi was thinking she intruded upon,"Fef... um... it's nothin' like that if your wonderin'..."
All three of us were now flushed pink.
"O-oh I just thought because he's on your bed, and he's looking through your private sketchbook and-"
"WAIT WHAT? SOLLUX PUT THAT DOWN THIS INSTANCE!" He dropped the book onto the bed and held his hands up in surrender.
"Thorry!" he was still blushing.
I think he saw what was in the book.
After everything settled down a maid had brought up some tea. The three of us fell into a more comfortable air on the coach. We began to talk about everything, really. We started talking about how I met Sollux then the topic ended up changing to space and stars.
"Sollux? By any chance do you know Karkat Vantas?" Feferi asked and sipped her tea.
"I was wonderin' about that too. I've seen a necklace like yours before at Karkat's job. You can only get one if your an employee," I added.
Sollux placed his honey drowned tea down onto the silver platter that had originally held it.
"Yeth I do. He uthed to be my roommate before he moved in with his boyfriend, GZ. I haven't talked to them thinthe I thuddenly got buthy. We were really clothe actually." He looked sadly at his tea.
"I know what you mean," Feferi and I said simultaneously.
"Sollux," he looked up at Feferi," What college do you go to?"
"Alternia," I did a spit take.
"Eridan! What the glub!" I was choking again.
"Cough Cough-h-cough-how come I haven't cough seen you before?" I hacked a few more times before gaining my breathe.
"You go to Alternia? Well, that would make thenthe now that I think about it."
Feferi dabbed a napkin onto her pencil skirt then looked up at Sollux, confused," What do you mean?"
"Alternia'th an Art, Dethign, and Performanthe College. I take up graphic dethign there. The thchoolth huge tho maybe that'th why I haven't theen you before."
"I-I see," I adjusted my scarf and stood up.
"Eri, you always meet people in the worst situations. It's like your a magnet for terrible first impressions," Feferi was giggling now.
"Really? How did he meet KK then?" Sollux was now leaning closer to Feferi, curious of what happened.
I turned completely red and whipped my head towards Feferi," You promised not to talk about it Fef!"
She just laughed and began telling the story, "Oh glub this is my favourite story," I sat down again and just glared at her.
"Eri's not really good at socializing so I brought him to my friend's house, Vriska, for a party. Worst idea ever," she facepalmed, "He ended up getting drunk," Sollux sat there with a huge grin on his face, and I was turning into a tomato.
She continued but kept laughing between words," It gets better. He ended up hitting on almost everyone haha, and that's when Karkat came in. Eridan was so drunk he haha he tried to makeout with him," now both Sollux and her were doubling over laughing.
"Okay I get it! I can't handle my liquor, hahaha. Can we move on? That was like 6 years ago," I crossed my arms and tried to control the hot feeling in my cheeks.
"Oh god, FF that'th hilariouth," Sollux was crying now but he was able to regain his composure with only a few slips of laughter here and there.
Feferi gradually came back but she was still smiling like an idiot," Oh glub, it's getting kind of late don't you think?"
"Oh damn your right," Sollux checked his watch, 9:34 p.m.
"It wath really nice hanging out with you guyth. I never get to relax anymore, and for thome reathon getting my laptop ruined hath never been more relaxing," all of us laughed and headed done stairs.
"Oh! Can I have your number by the way ED?" A black haired maid had come up to Feferi and whispered something into her ear. They looked at Sollux and me and started giggling like little school girls.
I wonder why.
"Yeah sure," I grabbed a piece of paper from my back pocket and a pen from the giggling maid.
I scribbled my number onto it and handed it to him," You can always pop by SSC if you want. I'm always there," I scratched the back of my head and looked away. I'll tell him later that I worked there if he didn't already guess.
"Okay, I guetthh I'll thee you guyth tomorrow," we waved goodbye to him as he exited the gate.
"Later Piexes," he waved at me and drove off.
It was actually a pretty nice day, and Sollux wasn't a dick like he came off to be. I closed the door then turned to see Feferi look at me strangely.
"What?"
"Why did he call you Piexes?"
"W-well you see-" I made a run for the living room with a huge grin on my face.
"Eridan! Get back here!" She was laughing as she chased after me.
Explaining can wait.
Let's stay siblings for a little longer today.
Thanks so much for reading! :D
