I maaaay have rushed the last chapter. Sorry bout that tho.

The sun spilled from the curtains and slowly aggravated your eyes enough to open. You sat up from the floor looking around your room. Everything that has happened in the past few days was indeed real. You looked up at the foreign body sleeping in your bed. Then examined your room further until you were motivated enough to feed your empty stomach. You looked at the troll once again, what will happen when he is better? Should I have taken him to get professional help? You made your way through your messy room, shutting the door behind you. You tried to be as quite as you can cuz the guy needs all the sleep he could get. You descended down stairs and looked around your living room. There is no life in sight and nothing to disturb the quiet except your footsteps on the wood. You walked into the kitchen and everything is how you left it to no surprise. What else did you expect when theres no one else here. You think back to the troll laying in your bed. You sigh to yourself- stopping the thought from continuing.

You open the fridge grabbing everything necessary to make a breakfast sandwich. You passed your landry room and couldn't help but notice the washing machine. You turned it on while your down here and hopefully his clothes wont get ruined. You returned to the kitchen and finish up what you were doing. It was quite messy but you manage to make two each. You also made yourself coffee and got out your favorite ironic mug that you cherished. You went upstairs with everything in your hands, trying to balance it all with immense determination to get it there without any mishaps. You opened the door with your foot and managed to do with ease. You looked in and what you saw what a bit unsettling. Eridan was sitting up on your bed looking directly at you. Little light hit his face and the yellow of his eyes were really the only thing standing out. You swallowed your siliva in an uncomfortable way but still managed to smile towards him. He moved his head to look at the things I was carrying and his features changed to what your more used to but you never really been exposed to trolls long enough, thats gonna have to take some adjusting. "Feeling any better?" You tried to be as gentle as you can. He looked at you once again but you could see he looks different than when he has his scowl. His eyes more apparent and sort of mesmerizing. "I feel like I got punched in the gut." You handed him one of the plates. You sat down with your coffee now warming up your hands. You take a sip while nonchalantly glacing towards him taking a bite of the sandwich. You looked at the sharp teeth that sunk into the bread with ease.

He looked in your direction and couldn't help but smile. You smiled too with the mug still to your lips. "Wwhat dying questions do you havve about my appearance?" You spit out a bit of your coffee, quickly whipping it away. "What makes you thing I was gonna say that??" He rolled his eyes as if it was obvious, "aww come on you wwere staring at me. I dont think you havve much experience wwith our species." Fuck. he read you like an open book and this is the great opportunity to ask so why not. "Ok fine smart ass. I was wondering a few things about you. I mean how can I not? Your not like anything ive seen before." He looked conflicted on what you said for a moment, "wwell this wwill be the perfect time." You couldn't believe it. You were getting kinda excited about an alien that is laying before your very eyes! It was unbelievable and you were getting gitty at the thought of it. You brought the chair that you had at your desk and pulled it up near your bed. Your smiled was plastered on your face as you can hardly control yourself. "There is a clear differences between you and me and its those weird looking things on your head." You looked up at them and scrutinized the masses that sit on top of his head. They are very bright colored which made you attracted to them. You forced yourself to look away but when you looked at his face your eyes went to something that wasnt there before. His face was turning purple by the metion on them. "Uh... wwell." He cleared his throat and put of his usual royal facade. "Horns are critical for troll...reproduction." You froze. You didnt expect it to be anything like that. "Ok then how about those neck things?" He expression went back to normal, "wwell isnt it odvvious? I am a highblood sea dwweller so i can swwim and junk.. but i do spend a lot of my time on land." You were totally rapt on what he said that you were staring alittle too intensely at him. "That is amazing." You smiled widely and he was wide eyed and looked away. You laughed and pushed your swivel chiar back to your desk, grabbing a hold on your warm mug and take a sip.

"If you want you can go take a shower now?that.. is if trolls take showers." You must remember that this is an alien speicies but you figured since they are very similar to humans. He looked at you puzzled and it hit you that he probably doesn't know what a 'shower' is. But thats bullshit! He speaks english. "Yeah a shower. To clean yourself with water?" You sighed and walked to his side to help het him up, "here ill show you." You grabed his hand and placed a hand on his back to secure him. He was shaking to get up but managed to stay balanced " alright alright i dont need anymore help." He wobbled when you let go but stood up straight. You saw him and smiled, he took the first step and triped slightly. He pushed his arm off the bed and continued to walk towards the door.

You went down the hallway to the door near your moms room and opened it up. "Ooooohhhh you mean to go in your Ablution trap." He pointed to the bathtub at the far end. "Yyyyyeeess? The Ablution trap. You do know how to use human shampoo & conditioner right?" "Of corse I do." He said quite sure of himself so im not gonna press on. "Well, be careful with your stitching, dont scrub it too hard." You emphasised the last part." He nodded and shut the door and locked it. You sighed and walked back to your bedroom. You gathered all the towels on the bed and it had blood stains and sand everywhere. You hope that the stains will come out once you wash it. You quickly trot downstairs and set the washer. Soon after you hear a little yelp coming from what can only be the bathroom. You snorted and realized you forgot to give him a towel and did alittle "oh" to yourself. You went to your hallway closet and grabbed a towel out of the many unnecessary towel you own. Seriously who bought this many? You knock on the door, "eridan. I brought you something to dry yourself with." You hear some squeeking noises coming from behind the curtain and assumed he got the shower thing down. Cracking the door open you see a pair of glasses on the sink and gawked at the clothes lazily dropped on the floor."Set it wwherevver." "And Im gonna grab your clothes so I can wash them. "Wwatevver, alright." You blinked at the curtains for a moment before putting it on the seat and collected the clothes with minimal amount of cloth to skin contact. You took a deep breath and went on your way.

You questioned what had just happened. You shook your head and banished the thoughts. You are not going to do something idiotic just because someone is at your house for once. You threw his clothes in the washer and put his cape thing in the dryer.
