"Fef... I--"
"Hi, Eridan... its been awhale.."
"Still makin those fish puns, I see."
"Yeah! They kinda spice up a conversation."
"W-what are you doin here?"
"I heard you moved."
"And?"
"And I'm here living with my aunt for the year."
"How-w did you get my address?"
"Cronus still keeps in contact with Meenah."
"You still nev-ver answered the question. W-what. Are. You. Doin'. Here?"
"Whale... I still feel reely bad about what happened between us."
"It w-was three years ago, Fef. I'm
ov-ver it."
"I know!! But I'm not. I loved you, Eridan! I REELY did! I just... couldn't take it at the tide.."
"First of all, please stop w-with all those fish puns. they're distractin' me. Second, if you allegedly lov-ved me,
w-why didn't you tell me before rippin' my heart out into a million n' one pieces?"
"I was going through a reely rough tide-- sorry... really rough TIME, and I couldn't handle a relationship!"
"You could'a just said that instead 'a leav-vin w-without a w-word, yanno. I w-was hurt Fef, really bad."
"I know! I know! It was really uncalled for and I really regret it. I want to start over again. Please?"
"No."
"But--"
"Absolutely NOT, FEF! You fuckin LEFT ME w-with NO ONE ELSE. You w-were my ONLY FRIEND! I LOV-VED YOU! You can't just w-walk out on me and expect--"
She cut you off with her lips on yours.
As if that part didn't sicken you enough, you actually enjoyed it. Which sickened you even more. But why? You'd been waiting this moment your whole life! The girl you loved so much was in your grasp--
Aradia.
No, no, NO. You had ARADIA.
Realizing this, you pushed Feferi off you, teary eyed.
"I'm... I'm sorry... I thought you wanted--"
"I'm datin' someone, Fef."
"Oh.."
"And she didn't just w-walk out on me like you did."
"I.... I understand. I'm sorry for wasting your time, Eridan."
