Kanra and Eridan Oneshots

Sleepy (Human AU)

Ok, I have some time to kill, plus I'm bored, so another update! Enjoy :)

ERIDAN

"Kanra?" I called as I walked into my apartment, wondering where my little sister had disappeared to. "Kanra, you here?" I hung up my jacket on the coat rack and glanced at the clock in the kitchen.

5:30

She was defiantly off from school by now, so where could she be?

I put the groceries down in the kitchen and walked down the hall, slowly opening the door to her room and peeking in. Nope not there. Hm.... maybe she's with one of her weird friends? No, she probably would have told me..

I wandered back out into the living room and was about to call her cell when I herd a little whimper from the couch. Putting my phone down, I went to investigate. Looking over the edge, I saw a pale little figure curled up in a ball, a book labeled Pre-Algebra was on the floor, along with page after page of practice problems. The girl's green eyes where closed, and her face was covered with her messy, short, wavy black hair. An empty Starbucks cup was on the floor, along with the books, meaning that she had clearly planned on studying for a while.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. God, does this girl even understand the proper function of a bed? Why does she insist on making my life even more difficult?

"Jeez, Kanra." I whispered, picking her up bridal style. Wow... she weighed, like... nothing. Does she ever eat?

She squirmed slightly in my arms as I opened the door to her bedroom and gently placed her on the bed. While she curled herself into a tight ball, I quickly covered her up with a knit blanket and gently tucked her in.

I smiled. "You know," I whispered, bending down to her eye level, brushing her lime streaked hair out of her face and carefully removing her thick, black reading glasses. "You're alright kid." I gave her a peck on the forehead. She muttered something I couldn't understand and I laughed a little.

"Well, at least when you're not trying to annoy the shit out of me." I turned the light off and closed the door gently.

*Time skip to 7:30 p.m.*

"Look who's awake!" I exclaimed dramatically as Kanra entered the kitchen, rubbing her eyes. She looked pretty pissed, but then again, she was never a morning person. "Just in time for dinner, too."

I slid an only slightly burned bowl of Mac n' Cheese to her, which she picked at for a good ten minutes before allowing any of it in her mouth. The moment she finished her bowl, i filled it again.

"What the hell, Eridan?!" She yelled, looking ticked.

"Hey, language!" I responded sternly. She rolled her eyes

"Fine. What the fucking hell?! Better?!" She asked sarcastically. I nodded and gestured for her to go on. Is that bad parenting? Psh, of course not!

"I just ate, why did you give me more? Trying to make me O.D. on mac and cheese?" She sassed.

"No," I said calmly. "You don't eat enough, I've lifted cats heavier then you. Now eat, you've got homework to finish." And with that, I left the kitchen, after all, there's a harry potter marathon on in a couple minutes. No way in hell am I missing that!

KANRA

I sat there and stared at the full bowl in front of me for a second... Did Eridan just show..... concern? Towards me, of all people? But, I thought he hated me! 

Against all of my best efforts, I felt the ends of my lips curl up into a small grin. I closed my eyes and took a bite of the food in front of me. though it was now slightly cold, it was still decent.

I smiled a bit more. Maybe... just maybe... he actually did care....
