(Y/n) point of view:
You walk outside of the room where the troll girl you found was sleeping, slowly recovering. You managed to stitch her up and bandage her up as tight as well as you could. She seems to be breathing fine and her pulse is normal, so you decide to check on eridan. You had to kick him out of the room. He was in a frenzy and might have hurt himself or the girl. You open the door to see him sitting on a chair by the doorway, head in his hands. You call his name quietly, trying not to startle him. He quickly looks up, looking at your face for any signs of pity or sadness. Seeing none, he asks, "Is she alright?"
"She will be fine, eridan. She's breathing normal."
Eridan exhales, slightly more at peace. He stands and holds you, crying softly into your shoulder.
"Thank you...thank you thank you so much..."
You hug him back, then open up the door to the room and let him in. You talk in whispers as to not wake up the sleeping girl.
"Who is she?" You ask
"She's my moirai- ex moirail..." eridan says, going silent.
"So, like, your ex girlfriend?" You ask, slightly prying. He shakes his head no.
"Wwe nevver went beyond close friends...but I used to hope that wwe might...one day..." he catches himself and apologizes to you. "It's just....she wwas my first love. My first actual friend wwho I could talk to. I wwas so scared of losing her on the beach. I wwas so cod damn scared for my life...I'm sorry I flipped my shit earlier."
"It's okay, eridan. I understand... what's her name? And how did she get here?"
"Her name is feferi. And as to howw she got here...I havve no clue. Noww that I think about it, I don't knoww howw I Got here."
You both get really quiet. Then you ask, ".....do you want to go back? Or at least try to take feferi home?"
You both get quiet again. You feel hot tears starting to fill up your eyes, and suddenly Eridan is holding you in his arms. You hold onto him and bury your face in his shoulder.
