Chapter Text
They both fell asleep in each others arms. Eridans dad comes home to see sollux and eridan curled up with each other on the couch, he narrowed his eyes but strugs and leaves them alone. 3 hours later they were woken up by the alarm going off and the smell of burnt food. Eridan poked his head up as did sollux both groggily, cronus came out of the kitchen coughing and waving the air around with his hand. eridan laughed which earned him a glare from cronus.
"oh shut up chief"
Eridan was still laughing and almost fell of the couch, sollux was snorting in his hand and caught eridan before he fell as quickly as possible with one hand.
"woah careful ed!"
eridan looked at sollux and gave a small smile, the tinyest smile ever, he just got an idea, its the weekend and close to summer so its the perfect chance.
he sat up on the couch and stared at sollux and took a deep breath.
"hey..... um.... sol?"
sollux just hummed in response wondering what was up with eridan at the moment to make him stare at him. he could feel the burning glaze and got embarrassed. sure he knew eridan liked him but he was conflicted with his emotions at the moment. the feeling of being liked by him....... it wasnt a bad feeling at all, he sorta liked it to be honest.
"do....do you think me and you can go to..."
oh god what was he thinking? sollux hated that place because its messy as hell and gets in his clothes and irritates him. but eridan loved it, he loves the feel and the sound of the wind.
"what ith it ed? where do you want to go?"
eridan fiddled with his fingers as he looked around.
"um..... i wwas wwondering if you wwanted to go to the beach wwith me one day"
he continued to fiddle with his fingers as he looked down now. sollux sighed, he knew eridan loved the beach, love feeing of the wind in his hair and the sand between his toes, he thought about it before nodding with a soft smirk. eridan deserves this out of sollux after everything that happened.
"thure ed, we can go to the beach"
his whole face lit up and he basically glowed in his spot which made sollux chuckle and stood up from the spot on the couch with stretched his arms over his head.
"really sol?!? you mean it?!?"
Eridan jumbed up off of the couch and bounced on his feet. he was pacing around the room with a grin on his face as he went in deep thought of what to bring. sollux of course was going to have to either go home to pick up his swim suit or borrow one from eridan. Then again he does have a extra swimsuit in eridans room somewhere. he will just have to find it.
"ed do you thhtill have that thwimthuit i brought over here?"
eridan stops moving and nods at sollux.
"wwell yea i do"
"well i am going to need it dont you think?"
watching him nod again then disappear into his room made sollux chuckle. he waited as eridan came back and handed sollu the swimsuit which he accepted and went into the room with eridan close behind holding his own swimsuit, they sliently got dressed with their backs to each other. every other time they would be laughing and pushing each other playfully.
seems alot will be differnet now, lets just hope its a good difference.
after they both got dressed and ready to go. they headed out and took eridans car, sollux was going to drive because he had his drivers license while eridan was still working on getting his own.
on the way there eridan had lowered the roof so the wind was hitting them in the face and he also put music on, soft melodys playing through the car as slowly but surely their hands had entwined and they took the scenic route.
today seemed like it will be a good day.
