A few days later, you were in your room setting up your DJ equipment. You loved music, and you always will. You have always wanted to listen to or make music. When your lusus died, you shut everyone out. At that point, you had no friends, no quadrants filled, no family...
But music was always there fior you. When you shut everyone out, you found yourself drawn to music. You were a fan of music, but ever since your lusus died, music has become more than... Music. It became your life.
In your spare time, which was all the time, you would lock yourself in your room and made remixes of various songs. Sometimes, you mixed music genres. Music blared from your headphones. You enjoyed listening to extremely loud music, and you eventually got used to it. It made you feel like it was drowning out all your stress.
You heard your HuskTop ring. It appears someone had Pestered you.

you didnt care if he was coming over or not, you continued working on your music. You eventually finished a half hour later, then you heard a knock on your door. "Come in." you said, headphones still attatched.
"Hey, ___. wwhat are you doin?"
"Oh, nothing, really."
"Wwoww. Thats a lot of equipment. I had no idea you wwere into this kinda stuff."
"Yeah, music is my life."
"Wwhat are you doin, though?"
You explained to him what everything was.
"Wwoww. This is amazin."
"Yeah. Music has always been here for me. Ever since..." your voice trailed off.
"Evver since wwhat, if you dont mind me askin?"
You sighed. "A few sweeps ago, my lusus died."
"Thats terrible!"
"Yeah... It was. At that point, i had no friends, no relationships with anyone. I never spoke to anyone. I just rebelled against everyone."
"Tell me more."
That reminded you of what Fef said to you a few days ago. 'why are you telling him this? You hardly know him.' you thought.
"...everything except music. Music was my only friend back then. Ever since then, i had a strong passion for music. Ive learned to play instruments, sing, dance, and my favorite, remixing music"
After a minute of awkward silence, Eridan hugged you and sobbed into your shoulder.
"Huh? Whats wrong?"
"Its Fef..."
"What did she do?"
"Wwell... I used to havve feelings for her. Like... Extreme flush-crush."
"Aww!"
"Yeah. Wwell, i thought so, too. I told her about them.. And she broke off our goddamn moirailance!"
He began sobbing more. You didnt know what to do; you didnt know how to deal with people. You had Dorian and Julia, but they never cried. You never knew how to make someone feel better. You simply rubbed his back to reassure him that it would be okay.
"So sorry to hear that. Sorry to say it, kiddo, but its harsh reality. You'll meet people you like, but they wont except you. You just need to except that and find people that do except you."
He looked up at you, sniffling.
"D-do you except me?"
"Well, yeah. Ive grown quite fond of you these past few days. You're alright, Ampora. I hope we can be friends. I mean, I'm no Fef, but still."
He hugged you tighter.
