Bees or Seahorses? (An erisol fanfiction)

The one where Sollux is pacing

The school day on was finally over, just two days after his encounter with Eridan at the coffee shop. Sollux is bent on hiding his excitement about seeing Eridan in a few minutes. He's pacing back and forth outside of Eridan's house, trying to calm down a little.
"Okay okay okay, you can do this" Sollux convinces himself.
"Uh, what the hell are you doin' Sol?" Eridan opens the door, stopping Sollux in his tracks.
"oh nothing" he starts walking to the door, feeling stupid.
Eridan chuckles
"You looked really funny walkin' around like that" Sollux finally gets to the door, chuckling nervously. Eridan flicks him on the head to snap him out of whatever funk he was in.
"What was that for?" sollux rubs at the spot where he was flicked.
"You were bein' all nervous" Eridan has no idea why Sollux was all nervous, so he dismisses it.
After being led inside Sollux feels a lot less nervous about being with Eridan the entire night...alone.
"So, what are we doing the project on? I like the idea of doing it on bees." Sollux says
"Well, I really like sea horses..." Eridan replies.
"Could we do both?" He genuinely thinks it'd be a fun idea.
"I don't know, how about I email the professor?" Eridan walks up to his room to grab his laptop. Sollux waits for him, sitting down on the couch. After a few minutes Eridan joins him on the couch.
"An' done" he says after a few more minutes of silence.
"Now we wait" sollux says, stretching.
after about ten minutes their professor replies with the following email:

" though doing two topics would be a rather large challenge, if you really cannot decide you can most definitely do two. If it is possible I would like it to be on one poster board though"

"There we go!" Eridan smiles "we should get started right now then, I'll start sea horses and you start bees"
Sollux smiles at how excited Eridan seems about the small aquatic creatures.
"Sounds like a plan" he chuckles "I don't think I need to look anything up for a small project like this. I know enough without it"
"I think I'm on the same page as you with this" Eridan smiles again.
"Then we need poster board for this" Sollux thinks aloud.
"I might have some downstairs, let me check" Eridan stands up, walking to the basement.
After a couple minutes of searching Eridan emerges from the basement with poster board, smiling.
"Found it" he smiles at his accomplishment.
"Nice job, how about like, markers or paint or something?" Sollux asks.
"I have both" Eridan walks away again to get supplies.
When he returns Sollux has already started on his third of the board with pencil. Sollux looks up,
"Hey" then he returns to the board.
Eridan joins him on the other side, bulleting different facts he comes up with.
"How does 18 facts each sound? Good facts though." Eridan suggests.
Sollux nods in agreement.
"I already have 9" he smiles, wanting to decorate it.
About 5 minutes later the boys get bored
"This is startin' to get borin'" Eridan complains.
"I won't argue with that" Sollux puts down his pencil "we just need to decorate anyways, might as well do that tomorrow" Sollux is worried Eridan would say no to him coming over again.
"Definitely!" Eridan sounds a bit eager. "So, what do you want to do then?"
"Watch Walking Dead re-runs?" It's one of Sollux's favourite shows.
"Sounds fun" Eridan recently took a liking to the show from Sollux's recommendation.
Eridan reaches for the remote, laying the poster board down next to the couch. Sollux smiles, stretching himself out. Eridan turns it on, flipping around on demand until he gets to the show.
An episode in Sollux, without really thinking, leans on Eridan comfortably. Smiling to himself, Eridan wraps his arm around the other. Sollux bites his lip, holding back a smile. They cuddle for a while during the next few episodes of the show.
Sollux yawns quietly, causing Eridan to turn his head to him.
"Tired?" Eridan asks him.
"Just a little" he lies, he was pretty fucking tired.
"Lies, you're practically fallin' asleep" he wouldn't mind at all if Sollux fell asleep like this, but he doesn't say that aloud.
"Okay yeah I lied" he chuckles, yawning and sitting up.
"Nope" Eridan pulls sollux back over to him.
"No homo" sollux jokes.
"Yes homo" Eridan chuckles, holding Sollux. Eridan starts to feel drowsy after Sollux has been asleep for about twenty minutes. He allows himself to fall asleep holding Sollux.
Sollux wakes up at seven thirty, praising whatever is up there that it's Saturday. He adjusts, giving himself a good view of Eridan's face. Sollux watches Eridan as he sleeps, finding the faces he makes adorable.
After some time of being asleep Eridan wakes up, looking curiously at the other who has been watching him.
"It's not like I was looking at you or anything..." he blushes lightly.
"Liar, you so were" he chuckles.
"Maybe..." he laughs with eridan.
"Well it was kinda cute" he shrugs, smiling.
"Cute?" Sollux questions, blushing.
"Absolutely cute" he chuckles softly.
"O-oh" he smiles, still blushing. Eridan smirks at the blush, finding it great how he can do that to Sollux.
"What's the smirk for?" sollux questions.
"Bothin'" he drags out the vowels in the word. Sollux gives him a questioning look.
"Okay?" he lays his head back down on Eridan "you're warm" sollux smiles.
"Huh, I guess I am aren't I?" Eridan holds Sollux closer.
"I'm hungry" Sollux's stomach growls rather loudly.
"Well there's food in the kitchen" he shrugs
The two boys walk into the kitchen, still a bit drowsy. Sollux yawns and stretches. He then sits at the table, with horrible posture compared to most normal human beings. Eridan is over at the stove, cooking food that Sollux is too tired to notice.
After some time Eridan brings the food to the table.
"Holy shit" Sollux's eyes widen. Eridan just smiles, sitting down across from Sollux. The two immediately dig into the food, eating like there was no tomorrow.
"Omg Eridan remember the aquarium?" Sollux reminisces
"Did you just say omg?" Eridan laughs but then looks mortified as what the other said sinks in. "
No! that was no! Don't bring it up!" Eridan blushes.
"But! It was hilarious! C'mon, you fell in the fish tank!" Sollux brings it up.
"SOL!" he laughs, remembering it fully.
"You fell in and almost got stung by a sting ray!"
"I know that!" Neither of them can stop laughing. Sollux almost chokes on food at one point.
"So, should we get the project finished?"
