Liar (Erisol sadstuck fanfiction)

Chapter Three

((Hey all! Sorry about extremely late updates, i've been meaning to update but  adulting sucks. Don't do it. Just don't if you can. Writer's block is suuuch a pain as well! Anyways, enjoy, you scrubs! >w<)) 

"ED.." I rolled over to Sol staring at me, eyes half-lidded and a small smile on his face. I looked around, my vision blurred as I had my glasses off. It looked as if we were in my room, I guessed by the faint violet walls that surrounded us. I sat up slowly, my head cloudy and my thoughts groggy. I had no clue how I had gotten to bed last night but I didn't care, I had Sol beside me, which was quite unusual considering we both have our own rooms.

"Did ya carry me to bed?" My hands slid across the bedside table until gently hitting my glasses, I slid them on and the world came into focus. Sol was still laying down, one arm draped over my waist as his red/blue eyes glanced at me sleepily. His hair was sticking out at odd angles, some of it covering his blueberry orb of an eye, he pulled me closer to him as he mumbled out his response.

"Yeeeee2. You fell a2leep after the thiird moviie 2o II carriied you to bed but you clung to me and refu2ed to let go." 

"So, you just climbed into bed wwith me and stayed?" He nodded as he slowly started to sit up, I guess after realizing that he wasn't going to go back to sleep. He had a small, sleepy pout on his face. Normally, if he had woken up beside me I would've kicked him out but with this last time...Of hurting myself...I wasn't in the mood to feel hate towards him. I looked down at my own body, which had been stripped of all my clothing except my undergarment. "You even stripped me dowwn...Pervvert." I chuckled a bit at the end and Sol looked over at me with a very unamused face. He shook his head as he slid out out of bed and stretched out, giving out a small groan as he did. 

"Yeah, cau2e II'm the pervert iin thii2 relatiion2hiip."

"Wwe're about evven."

"True." He trailed out of the room, leavin the door open. It was apparent that he was going into the kitchen to make breakfast, making the biggest racket in the world; pans clattering, the openin and closin of the fridge, tableware bein moved around, etc. I smiled softly to myself...I don't know why but my heart was leanin more towards a red quadrant with him. I didn't have the energy for hate right now, and I wasn't sure it would ever return but apart of me was alright with that. The other part was completely disgusted with myself and couldn't believe that love was overwhelmin my feelings of hate.

I got up and got dressed, I looked around for my cape before finding it crumpled up and torn in the corner of the room, my dried violet blood making dark splotches on the cape. I sighed softly to myself, my own mind seeming irrational again.

'Why..Why do I keep doing this..? Why do I break so easily? Am I really just...That hopeless?'

But then, another thought hit: 'You only do this because you're tired of sufferin through pain, torment and hatred. Everyone hates you, you know? They'd wish you were all dead, Sol is the only one who would ever care and he hates your guts most of the time too.'

I growled softly at myself. At my own thoughts. I took my cape and placed it on my bed gently, my fingers ran over my bandaged wrists as I started to slowly sink back down into my own thoughts again.

"ED, you okay?" I jumped at his voice, not realizing that Sol had appeared in the doorway. I spun around to meet him, my heart still beating rapidly. 

"Yeah, i'm fine! You just scared the fuck outta me." 

~Sol's POV~

I was in the kitchen making a human delicacy that I've found that ED loves to devour: Blueberry Pancakes. I had rummaged around looking for the blueberries that I had swore were in the pantry but weren't, I looked in the fridge and found them in the very back. Eridan must've moved them. Again. I had mixed the dry ingredients when I picked up a small noise coming from ED's room. A soft, small growl. 

What the hell is he growling about now?

I padded back into his room, leaning against the door frame, flour splattering my black t-shirt as I wiped the remaining sleep from my eyes. He was leaning over his cape, running his fingers over the bandages softly, a large scowl dancing over his lips. "ED, you okay?" He jumped at the question as his entire demeanor changed from aggressive Neanderthal to surprised squirrel.

"Yeah, i'm fine! You just scared the fuck outta me." He chuckled awkwardly as he ran his fingers through his mop of hair, slicking it back as he did. The small smile he had  on his face just made me grin, I loved the way his mouth curled up, cheeks indenting with his dimples and always dusted with a soft violet shade. He looked over at me with that awkward smile, cheeks becoming darker as he realized that I was observing him. "C..Can you please stop starin at me like that, sol?"

"Liike what? Hmmm?"

"You knoww.."

"II want you to 2ay iit."

"You're an ass."

"2aaaaay it, fii2hdiick."

"Fine! Please stop starin at me like i'm meat..." His purple orbs seemed to dart around as he couldn't look at my face, his blush made it apparent that he was either embarrassed or flattered. I couldn't make the distinction of which it was.

"Mmmm no. II won't ever 2top." My mouth curled into a catlike grin as I stuck my tongue out at him, wiggling my eyebrows slightly. Eridan huffed at me as he brushed past me and stormed into the living area with a pout on his face. It was a weird, but nice, change from his usual "Go-fuck-the-world" attitude. I had a feeling that I would like this Eridan, truth be told. I trailed after him and went back to making breakfast in the kitchen. 

It was still weird to call things by their human name but with Eridan always hounding me about "using the proper wwords," I was getting used to it quickly. 

"Hey, Sol?"

"Hmm?" I kept my focus on the task at hand and didn't realize that Eridan's voice was right behind me. He slowly wrapped his arms around my waist and buried his face into my back as his grip slowly tightened. I flinched when i first felt him hug me but quickly relaxed after realizing it was just him. A small smile had managed to creep onto my face without me noticing and i didn't realize I was until my cheeks had started to hurt. 

"Thank you..."  

'Did he just say thank you? What?'

 I had never heard him use his proper manners towards me. 

"...For what?"

"...For staying with me..For putting up with the chaotic mess that is my existence..." At that I turned around to where we were face to face. My brow furrowed up in slight annoyance. I don't know why I felt annoyed at that I just did.

"Lii2ten, ED, ii wiill alway2 put up wiith you. II'm not gonna giive up on you ju2t because you thiink you're unworthy of love. You may have lo2t all hope iin your2elf but II haven't. II know thii2 ii2n't what you're liike and iit'2 kinda freakiing me out to see you liike thii2. II'm not saying ii hate iit but iit's ju2t...Weiird. You know?" He nodded slightly as I turned back around and finished up our breakfast.
