A/N: Wow i'm really sorry for the lack of activity ;u ;'' So I figured I'd post what I had then post the rest asap. Thank you those who've reviewed and followed my story ;A ; It means so much 3 I also have an editor now so the newer chapters will be much better! I'll stop rambling now! Hope you like the new chapter(well the first half of it)!
"It'd be better off if you didn't come around here any longer." Aradia's face has a delicate smile and is looking at you reassuringly. "B-but-"You plead wanting to stay with her and then maybe... maybe through her they'd forgive you. "I think it would be best for you, they want to kill you Eridan. I promise we'll still talk over Trollian." "Tho you're thill here? I thought you would have realithed no one wanted you here. You mutht be deluthional if you thill feel like you can thow your fucking fithy fathe here. Do uth a favor and get the fuck out." Your hands fly up grasping and empty nothingness. Wordlessly you glance at the time and sigh. You still had plenty of time to meet Feferi and the others. During the night she had messaged you saying to meet her at her hive so she could take you to meet the kids. Staggering out of bed you trip up a bit due you being entwined into your purple sheets. Your thoughts float to Aradia, how you missed her. There was something about her, she'd always wordlessly listen to your rants about the land-dwellers and tell you not to apologize when you were finished. God, how you must've hurt her for talking about her friends like that. It didn't take a noticeable toll on your friendship at the time though, no that'd be much later. Your mind quickly went from pale to flushed being around her so much and you began to notice everything you loved about her. The long curly ebony hair with the slightest bit of red sheen to it, her rosy tender smile seemed to blind you of your problems and hatred if only for a moment. You, of course couldn't be in any quadrant with her Sollux had admitted his red feelings before you had the chance and they became matesprites. That was about the time everything went sour for you and Feferi, well let's be honest with everyone. Slowly the resentment built and you became frustrated. "I-I'm not that bad…" You feel hot tears prying to rebelliously fall from your eyes. Eventually their hatred finally won over you and you exiled yourself from everyone. Today though, today you had to face them all again. Not bothering to eat you pull up your black and blue striped jeans and throw on your one of many Aquarius shirts on. It fit you well though you've grown a bit and the fabric was taut on you, perhaps you'd ask Kan to alter some of your favorites to fit you better. Glancing at yourself in the mirror you brush your hair back with one hand fixing your purple streak before pushing up your think framed glasses and heading out grabbing your scarf on the way. Seahorse dad was still looking a bit disgruntled so you decided to walk to the beach near Fef's hive alone. It'd only took you about 15 minutes to walk to the beginning part of the beach near Fef's hive and no sooner had you stepped on the sand did you hear a familiar squeal. "ERIDAN!" Feferi exclaimed running up to you as you carefully tried not to trip over various pieces of driftwood and rocks, " Aren't you EXCITED?!" She looked at you expectantly causing you to feel ashamed to not be able to reciprocate her excitement. "A lil nervous to be honest..." You decide to tell her you'd not been looking forward to going and about your nightmare, leaving out Aradia of course. "Awh c'mon Eridan! Your only problem should be Karkrab and he's always shouty!" She dismisses your feelings again but you hope she's right.
The awkward small talk on the long trek to Karkats is almost unbearable but at the same time some contact with the outside world did you well. Seahorse dad wasn't exactly the greatest at conversation. You could tell she was trying way too hard; you blamed yourself for that as well. You were forced to grow up fast, faster than trolls normally have to grow up and it turned you into a bitter hate-filled troll whereas Fef… Fef was so innocent even though she was an heiress. As long as you kept her lusus happy she was happy, or so you thought. She saw your decent into your depression and anger and she'd always been overly cheery as if to make up for your lack of enthusiasm. You wanted so desperately for her to go back to being herself… But what you'd done to her could never be changed and god you hated every fiber of your being right then and there. "A—HEM! Are you even paying attention Eridan?" She gives you a pouty angered look and instantly something in you seems to snap. There you are laughing your head off only to see her eyes go big in bewilderment, this of course makes it far more hilarious. "Water you laughing at?!" Her face tinting pink embarrassingly and she suddenly becomes self-conscious. "You looked... just like a little guppy… When your eyes got all big. I'm sorry I just-" You managed to say in between gasps of breath and laughter. The high from the laughter fades and you readjust both your sanity and your scarf flashing your former moirail a smile. Wow how long had it been? It was nice to forget your troubles for that brief moment and Fef has joined in smiling and going on about taking fish puns to a whole new level. A good hour or so passes and wow it feels like you'd been talking for fifteen minutes but sure enough Karkats' hive is only a few minutes away. You can see the block-y building with various red awnings, honestly the troll keeps his blood color this huge secret yet there he goes displaying it on his hive for all to see; completely ridiculous.
I hoped you enjoyed ;u ; I will be fixing any grammar errors asap! Can my own story give me otp feels? I think so. Eridan's just so cute. # Eridan feels
