He waited for her to laugh in his face, or leave, or give some sort of negative reaction as vriska had the first time she had seen his place but to his surprise he received the opposite.
Aradia smiled at his rather simple living room, there was a deep purple futon in the center, adjacent to the flat screen mounted on the wall. Beneath it a small white console that held a few gaming consoles, games, movies, and a cable box within its shelves. The black wood coffee table sat between the two pieces of furniture with an assortment of men's magazines and a stray cup of tea on it. A stainless steel lamp with a black shade was on a slim table next to the right end of the couch.
"We'll this is very cozy eridan." She finally remarked. "Thanks," he replied "can I get you somethin' to drink? Alcoholic or otherw-wise?" He chuckled trying to ease the tension. "Actually vodka on the rocks doesn't sound bad." Aradia smirked hiding her blush. "Comin right up princess" he winked disappearing into the next room.
Aradia followed him into the kitchen so see first lilac walls, she admitted the color was a very pleasant one. A bar sat beside her white with black marble and black barstools to match with chrome legs. Across the room seated next to a giant window was a cherry wood table complete with six white leather chairs to match, above it hanging a lovely crystal chandelier that looked like glass balls hanging from strings to create an even bigger glass ball. The tile in the kitchen was white as well and she pondered how he kept things so clean. She wandered over to the left side of the kitchen to find black granite counter tops and white drors. In the center was an island that matched the kitchen with an electric stove on top. Apart from the neat little island was a stainless steel fridge. Eridan was digging around in a shelf above the fridge with several bottles placed in the tiny square shelves.
He pulled one out and nabbed a tall slender glass from the cabinets on the far left of the kitchen. He quickly had the drink made and aradia was quite impressed. "A bit under age aren't we?" She giggled as he pulled out jack Daniels and another glass serving himself. The clinked glasses smiling "just a little bit."he grinned at her. He downed his glass quickly and poured another, aradia making a mental note of how quickly he drank as she sipped her glass slowly. She enjoyed the taste of liqour and liked to make it last. "I must say though eridan your home is quite lovely" she commented. "Thank you, your face is also v-very lov-vely ara" he smirked. Aradias cheeks burned, how long had it even since someone had spoken to her sweetly? She looked at the ground avoiding his eyes even though she was quite flattered she wondered what to say. "T-thank you eridan, I try." She smiled. He crossed the counter and came closer to her, "but that's the thing you don't ev-ven hav-ve to try I hav-ve w-watched you for years, an ev-ven though you hav-ve been w-with that sollux guy, he has nev-ver treated you like a lady now-w has he? But I could, really I could ara if you'd just giv-ve me a chance." He sighed and looked at the ground putting the bottle back away. Aradia stood there stunned, pondering his offer. It had been a long time, too long in fact that she had felt loved.
