(Authors note: This is Mituna BEFORE the accident so he still has the lisp but isn't too broken.
If you don't like the way I write the lisp please say so and I can remove it and re-type it =c=
I hope you like ittttt R&R and Sollux will continue to be awesome)
Both rooms fell silent as Eridan's eyes snapped open as he began to feel nervous about meeting the two strange boys.
"he's asleep" Cronus groaned out as Eridan heard shuffling from the couch and the older man's footsteps head towards Cronus's room. The steps continued into Cronus's room but soon exited and returned to the couch.
"he'th not in your room cro" Mituna's voice rings out as the shuffling on the couch continues as Eridan frowned and as he took a deep breath before turning to leave the room.
"AHH COD" Eridan's voice screamed out as he fell back onto his back as he stared at the crack in the door. The younger male with the DS had moved right to the door and had scared Eridan when he had gone to peek out of the door again.
"tholluth! What are you doing!?" Mituna's voice called as Eridan caught his breath as the boy referred to as "Sollux" peered back at Mituna.
"Hith in here" Sollux bluntly answered as Eridan heard footsteps approaching as he quickly stood and brushed himself off. Mituna quickly became visible through the door as he peered in at Eridan who gave him a glance.
"Thit… Cro he lookth juth like you" Mituna chuckled out as Eridan scoffed and watched as Mituna left the doorway to return back to Cronus as Eridan emerged from the darker room looking down at his feet as he did. Sollux kind of backed away from him as Eridan simply looked up and over at the couch where Mituna was shoving Cronus's shoulder.
"Look at that cro, hith all up and ready for today and you on your couch thmelling up the place" Mituna informed Cronus as Eridan watched the older man sit up on the couch. He had to swallow his laughter as he spotted the other man's hair that was completely messy and sticking out all over the place.
"Shut up Mituna" Cronus growled loudly as he grabbed his head and groaned loudly as he got up off his couch and groaned, he seemed to be suffering some kind of hangover.
"Just go get started on the fucking bed and I'll get started on giving a shit about that kid" Cronus groaned out as Eridan's heart sank slightly, Cronus's seemed angry not like yesterday when he was all laid back.
"Fine Athhole, but thith ith the latht time I take time out of my thaturday to help you" Mintuna grunted in a more pissed off tone as Cronus pushed past him towards the bathroom with a small grunt in response to Mituna's threat. Mituna grumbled and began to mumble under his breath as he brushed past Eridan, he smelt of honey, and entered Eridan's room. Eridan simply stood out in the apartment and was unsure of where he should go as he turned to face his room maybe he should go help Mituna.
"I wouldn't if I wath you" Sollux quickly added before Eridan froze and turned to the slightly lisping boy with a confused glance.
"Mituna ith very bipolar, when he mumbles hith in a bad mood and won't hesitate to thnap at you" Sollux informed the shorter boy as Eridan gulped and began to play with the seam of his shirt slightly. He watched as Sollux simply strolled through the apartment and took a seat upon the leather couch as he kicked the Cronus smelling blankets and pillows to the floor as he closed the Ds he was previously playing with and set it aside and casually flicked on the TV and began to channel surf. Eridan was taken aback by the boy's carefree attitude as he contemplated joining Sollux on the couch, though before he could decide Sollux spoke up.
"Hey, Eridan is it? Yeah go get me a Soda" Sollux almost demanded as Eridan peered up at the relaxing male. It irritated Eridan that Sollux had just met him and already was ordering him around, but Eridan didn't really want to make enemies with the first boy of his age. With those thoughts in his mind he proceeded to the kitchen and grabbed a Soda for Sollux before returning to the couch and handing Sollux the Soda.
"Thankth" Sollux said with a slight grin towards Eridan, though Eridan found himself staring at the taller males lip, on the right side there was a white scar. It wasn't very long though it was noticeable when facing the boy head on, Eridan frowned at the line as Sollux raised an eyebrow at Eridan.
"Are you juth going to stare at me or sit down?" Eridan peered off to the side as he simply moved to the other side of the couch as Sollux settled for some kind of cartoon in which Eridan didn't recognise.
The two sat in silence for a while as Sollux changed the channel every now and then although Eridan was spacing out. After some time Cronus appeared from his room wearing some tight blue jeans with another plain white shirt with his hair all fixed and slicked back. A lit smoke hanging from his lips as his green eyes examined the two youngsters on the couch and gave them a strange look before continuing into the other room. Eridan didn't understand how Cronus could change so much in a span of a couple of hours, it was really unsettling. Eridan just kept staring over at the door as he found no interest in the television shows.
As the door opened again Eridan peered away as he heard a chuckle coming from the room as the two men exited. Cronus had his hands around Mituna's waist as he was grumbling into his ear as Mituna chuckled slightly. Eridan peered away as the two men awkwardly exited Eridan's room as Cronus refused to let go, Mituna grumbled something to Cronus as the now content looking man smirked over at the two kids on the couch.
"Hey Sol" Cronus called out with a grin as Mituna pushed away from Cronus slightly as Sollux peered over at the two men with a raised eyebrow.
"Why don't you take Eridan out for a bit ey? Show him were the cool cats hang?" Cronus smirked out as Sollux rolled his eyes under his glassed shades before grabbing his DS and jumping off the couch.
"thure thing cronuth but it'th going to coth you" Sollux informed the older male as Eridan found himself just staring off to the side.
"Sure kid come ere'" Cronus smirked out as he reached away from Mituna and into his back pocket and retrieved his wallet as Sollux approached the two.
"Have fun Kid" Cronus said as he gave Sollux a nod, before Sollux turned to Eridan and sighed.
"tho are you coming?" Sollux questioned as Eridan peered up at him and gulped slightly, he didn't want to stay because he seemed unwanted though he wasn't sure about how much he trusted Sollux either, though as all the sets of eyes fell on him he stood. Without a word he got up and headed into the door behind the couple and slipped on his shoes and grabbed his phone. Eridan then returned to the outside of the room and immediately paced to Sollux's side.
"You to be careful now, thol you take care of Eridan" Mituna informed as Sollux simply nodded as he opened the front door and held it open for Eridan, showing how "careful" he would be as Eridan gladly walked through it.
"Click" Sollux pulled the door closed as he peered over at Eridan slightly to see the other kid peering about like a lost child as he clenched to the scarf around his neck. With another loud sigh Sollux began to walk down the hallway towards the elevator Eridan had come up from without warning, though Eridan did manage to keep up. As they waited for the Elevator Sollux checked his phone for the time and decided to send a text message to his friends to see who was out and inform them of the new kid on the block as Eridan couldn't help but scoff at the old flip top phone Sollux had. He could see the worn down sides and clipped corner though when Sollux peered up at him when he scoffed Eridan peered away. He had to become friends with Sollux, he was the only other kid he knew so he had to be nice.
"thcoffing every time you thee thomething that'th not ath glamorouth ath you are will earn you a punch in the facth" Sollux smirked out to Eridan, was that a threat?
"Sorry it's just that … I can't remember the last time I had seen a phone like that"
"BING" the elevator arrived as the boys stepped into it and Sollux pocketed his phone with a raised eyebrow.
"Well welcome to the new neighbourhood were the wall'th aren't covered in gold and you have to fend for yourthelf." Sollux informed Eridan as the elevator fell silent. Eridan reached into his pocket and peered at his phone, it was the latest Iphone, his dad had gotten it for him for attending after school classes. He was so happy the day he had gotten it but now it was just a reminder,
"What'th your number?" Sollux asked as Eridan snapped out of his thoughts and peered over at the boy who was staring down at his old phone.
"W-what? W-why?" Eridan questioned as he whipped out his phone and unlocked it as Sollux's eye's peered over at the phone, his eyebrows raised.
"BONG" the elevator doors opened and Sollux stepped out and Eridan followed close behind though both boys stopped in front of the elevator.
"Becauthe I have a feeling that you're going to need it." Sollux sighed out as Eridan passed the other boy his classy phone and gave him a little grin.
"W-well thanks just type it in a-"
"juth becauthe I don't have an Iphone doethn't mean I don't know how to uthe one" Sollux informed Eridan as he quickly punched in his number and sent himself a text message. He gave the phone one last longing glance before handing it back to Eridan and rubbing the back of his head as he peered around the inside of the apartment building.
"Tho, Got anywhere you want to go?' Sollux questioned as Eridan pocketed his phone though perked up a with a little grin to the side.
"He gave you money right?" Eridan questioned even though he knew the answer as Sollux nodded as he felt his pants for the bill, making sure it was safe.
"W-well do you know anyw-where w-we could maybe go for lunch… w-well breakfast for me?" he questioned as Sollux peered down at the slender boy.
"You haven't had breakfetht?"
"No I don't know-w w-what I'm allowed to hav-ve in the cupboard's so I didn't touch nothin'" Eridan explained as Sollux felt a tad of guilt build up in his chest as he began to walk out of the building.
"Come on, there'th a fish and chipth thtore nearby" Sollux sighed out as Eridan began to follow the taller boy.
Had he made his first friend?
