"Hey Sol?"

Sollux looked down at the half-asleep troll in his arms. His eyes were closed and his ridiculous hair had deflated, now sprawled all over his face. But Sollux always thought he looked the best this way; perfectly natural and calm.

"Yeah ED?"

Eridan snuggled deeper into his matesprit's shoulder, practically burying his head in Sollux's neck.

"I lov-ve you."

Sollux smiled and squeezed Eridan tighter, causing the other to sigh in bliss.

For once, Sollux was completely and utterly happy.

"I love you too."
