Bees or Seahorses? (An erisol fanfiction)

Bees or Seahorses?

authors note:
**let me just clear this up before I start, I did some research, though VERY rare, it is possible to have natural red iris/irises, also, I'm not writing in with "th" instead of "s" because many people find that hard to read! Okay, to the erisol now! **

Sollux stretches out in his bed, not wanting to leave the bee patterned blanket.
"This sucks" Sollux groan at his lisp, which in fact is one thing tacked on the reasons he hates himself.
Getting out of bed is a struggle, but it happens.
"Shit! I'm going to be late!" He complains.
Not putting much thought into his outfit he grabs jeans, a GTA 5 shirt and a red and blue belt. He slides on his black and white vans and was out the door in a matter of minutes, praying he didn't miss the bus.
"That's great" he smiles a bit as he notices he just barely caught the bus.
As he scans the seats for an open spot, he noticed a few, internally grinning when one of them was next to Eridan. He walks over and sits with him
"Sup ED?" He asks, looking at him, wondering if his glasses were real.

"What do you want Sol?" He asks, trying to act annoyed.

"Are these even real?" Sollux pulls the glasses off his face, putting them on.

"What are you doing freak?" Eridan takes them back defensively.

"Freak huh? Sounds suitable" Sollux chuckles darkly, can't Eridan ever just be nice? He just rolls his eyes, quite obviously turning his attention to Feferi.
Why can't he look at me that way? I mean no, never mind, that won't happen. Sollux thinks to himself

"It is so obvious ED" he mutters a bit too loud.

"Ex-fucking-cuse me?" Eridan growls, probably praying his precious Fef didn't hear.

"Seriously, I'm surprised she hasn't figured it out" Sollux snickers.

I can hold a grudge can't I? She's getting all I ever asked for! Sollux yells in his head.

"It is not! Is it really there's no w-way!"
Shit, he is starting to develop that nervous stutter he gets before crying. Sollux thinks, feeling horrible.

"I was joking" Sollux sighs, pissed that he is so obsessed with her.

"Oh, okay, that's good; I wasn't that worried" Sollux can see he is definitely bluffing.

"Whatever" Sollux thanks life that the bus ride ended there so he can go wallow in self pity. So he gets up without saying anything to Eridan, just wanting to get to class.

But Eridan just sighs as Sollux gets up. Wishing the other boy could see through the act of being obsessed with Feferi. He only did it so he wouldn't get made fun of for being gay.
"Damn it Sol..."

Sollux finally gets to first period, sighing and landing in his seat, already tired. For the first 10 minutes he just stares out the window, sure he likes school and all, but he just can't focus today.

"Captor!" His teacher yells, breaking him out of the trance.

"Oh, um, yes Sir?" Sollux is embarrassed; he never liked being called out.

"Did you hear me tell you your partner?" the teacher asks impatiently.

"P-partner for what?" after this most of the other kids break into giggles.

"The week long project on any living thing of your choosing" this guy probably thinks Sollux is an idiot at this point

"Uh, no sorry" Sollux internally groans.

"Ampora! Man, is anybody listening today? Captor and Ampora, you two are partners" Both boys groan, thinking the other wants nothing to do with them.

"Really? Him?" Eridan says, acting as if he'd rather be with anybody else.

"No complaints!" the teacher yells at Eridan.

"This should be fun..." Sollux mutters under his breath.

After more and more dry and dull hours of school, the bell finally tolls and kids pour out of the doors of the large brick school building.
Sollux decides to walk home, namely because he wanted coffee or some kind of pick me up. He walks slowly, not having anybody to go home to anyway. He walks into his favorite little shop. It was always warm and homey. Plus, they have the best sweets with honey, his favourite taste! Sollux sits down, stretching a little bit while the waitress made her way over.

"Hey Jane!" Sollux smiles at her familiar face.

"Hey Sollux! The usual?" Jane was always a great friend, and her girlfriend Roxy is a relationship guru!

"Of course, and is there any chance Roxy is free later?" Sollux decides talking to her might help his sexual frustrations, she's great at figuring people out.

"I don't see why she wouldn't be! Okay, I need to go bring your order over, so meet me in a half hour out back, my shift will be over then" Jane smiles again, she is so nice all the time, Sollux couldn't do that if he tried.

"Thanks a lot Jane!" he says to her disappearing figure.

Sollux looks over to the seat next to him, bad idea. He made eye contact with Eridan. Sighing, he turns back, only to get a concerned look from Eridan. Eridan ends up walking over and sitting on the other side of the booth.

"Hey Sol" Eridan smiles, getting nothing in response. He decides to poke Sollux's face at this point.

"What are you doing ED?" Eridan notices something about Sollux, but doesn't bring it up. "Just leave me alone, the project hasn't started yet anyways"

"Jesus Sol, calm down I just wanted to talk, you know?" Eridan looks a bit hurt and Sollux immediately feels guilty.

"Sorry" he gives a brief apology, and thank lord Jane came over to break whatever tension was left.

"Here you go darlin" Jane places a honey bun and a latte with honey drizzled on the rising foam on Sollux's side of the table. Then she whispers in Sollux's ear "he's so got the hots for you, don't have to be Roxy to tell that he only acts like a jerk because his friends won't accept who he is." Sollux blushes a little, hoping Eridan doesn't notice.

"Thanks Jane" Sollux chuckles, turning back to Eridan.

"What'd she say? Hittin on ya?" Eridan accidentally sound defensive.

"Nothing, and who would hit on me?" Sollux brushes off Eridan's tone of voice as nothing.

Eridan replies under his breath inaudibly "me"

"What was that?" Sollux asks, intrigued.

"Nothing!" Eridan says a bit too quickly.

Sollux laughs softly "okay?"
