Chapter Text

"Ah!"

"Don't worry Eridan I'll save you!"

"Thanks."

You two are playing Minecraft hunger games. When you saw that she had Minecraft on her computer you couldn't help but wanna see her worlds and you two have been playing Minecraft since math started.

"Heath?"

"Two and a half."

"Hunger?"

"Four chicken legs."

"Eridan eat something for goodness sake, I've given you plenty of cookies and bread."

"Ar I can't eat that, that's peasant food."

"Ugh fine trade me the bread and I'll give you pork chops."

"That's better."

"You are so ridiculous sometimes you know that?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about in the slightest."

"Mhm yeah sure you don't."

You couldn't help but smile, you seem to have been doing that more ever since you two ever started hanging out. And you think it's the same for her.

"Supply drop."

"Alright, Eridan, people are going for it so you stay here."

"Good luck."

"Ha I don't need luck when I'm this geared out man."

"Would it kill you to give me a piece of that armor?"

"Maybe. And here, iron pants."

"That's it?"

"There was two pairs of iron pants from the drop so yeah that's it."

"And oh look, it's just you and me left."

"What Ar I-."

"To late you're dead and I win again. Woo!"

"Yeah yeah good job."

You could hear the notification from Pesterchum through her earbuds.

"Hey, give me a sec okay?"

"Sure."

While she's busy typing away, you also get a Pesterchum notification.

Ask her out? You've been hanging out for a few months now and offically became part of her gang. You really are a lot happier when you hang around her. Even happier than when you hang out with Feferi, which isn't very often any more.

"Oh god no I can't look!"

"Oh come on it's not even scary."

"It is fuckin scary how come you're not petrified?"

"Stuff stopped being scary to me when I was like five."

"That's not fair."

"Do you know what's also not fair? You should be holding me at the jump scares and not me holding you."

"Shut up the jump scares are terrifying."

"Yeah uh huh sure."

"Any normal person would agree with me."

"You're not normal though."

"Well neither are you."

"Good."

"Why'd I let you talk me into getting this movie."

"Because I'm awesome and your face isn't."

"My face has never been so insulted."

"Okay I'm sorry. Does your face feel a little less insulted now?"

"Yes. Thank you."

"Sure."

You do the old fake yawn and put your arm around her shoulder. Then she moved in closer and lied her head on your shoulder. Okay so far so good.

"Next time I'm pickin the movie."

"Do you think your taste in movies are any better than mine?"

"Okay you got a point there. But I'm still choosing the next one."

"Alright."

------------------------------------

You two end up falling a sleep half way through the movie and are awakened when you hear the sound of yelling in Japanese.

"くそったれ雌犬 !"

The next thing you know you're being dragged off the couch.

"What the fuck!"

"Damara!"

"ザ·少年は悪いです!"

"彼は素敵だと私は彼が好き!"

"何が?本当に?"

"はい。"

You have no idea what they're saying and you wished you did. Then Damara is whispering in your ear.

"You hurt Dia I hurt you. Understand?"

You whisper back. "Yes."

"Boy. You out now."

"Alright sheesh, bye Ar."

"Bye Eridan."

Then you're pushed out the door and left on the porch. You get in your car and pull out your phone.
