The days have been busy lately, for some.
Feferi visits Eridan on his last day at the hospital which has been close to 2 weeks so far. She's exhausted but happy to have him back. The healed up boy in bed is awake and talking with his girlfriend, "I honestly don't know what came over me. But the whole thing with sollux just pissed me off.." she's very concerned at this point. "What do you mean by that eridan?" letting out a sigh and holding her hand tightly. "I-i'm just so afraid that all the people i've talked to..are just going to leave me behind and i only have you left. Like i should be able to have friends but since things have been crazy and awful shit happening around, i'm already losing everyone i know of." the boy tries to hold in his tears but couldn't and let them hit the hospital blanket that's covering him up. Feferi leans over and hugs him closely to her as possible and rubbing his back, "Not all things are over, okay? You still have me,aradia,karkat, rose and your brother..Plus just leave Sollux behind." hugging her back and listening to her words as she continued on, "He's the main problem all of these things are happening to you but it doesn't mean you break him or cause any more dramatic fights. You're not that kid anyways..You're 17 and close to get out of high school and going into the real world. The real world is much more important than your drama with him. But if you truly want to end this war between him and you, it's best to stand you ground and talk to him. No throws. No magic. No hatred. You have to understand Eridan, in life you need to talk down through things to get the best out of something and doing that with Sollux will help him understand more of you than he'd expected to learn about. Your true feelings. Your gut and brain feelings."
As this conversation has been going on, feferi stops with the advice now and gets up to help eridan get into his wheelchair. "Feferi, i don't think i need that." "Oh yes you do." Lifting him up and placing him gently onto the wheelchair they gave to him for a couple of days. The boy hears her sigh and looks up at her, "Eridan..You don't know how scared i was..For god sake's, you were terribly close to death once you reach the hospital. You can't be doing this to yourself anymore." "I'm really sorry..like i said, i didn't know what came over me, y'know?" she nods and kisses his head with a smile.

After checking out and leaving the place, both of them see Eridan's brother and kankri with hi. As kankri sees them, he quickly walks towards eridan and asking him nonstop questions. "Kankri, don't get on his level please." he turns around and nods. Going by tha, cronus opens the back door for kankri and feferi to put eridan in. After awhile of getting things settled, cronus drives away from the hospital as he has a sleepy feferi in the backseat who's with Eridan, watching over her. Once getting to their house, kankri immediately got out of the car to do eridan's door as he waits for the boy to step out. "Are you sure you can stand?" "Yeah, at least my legs aren't damaged." chuckles softly once stepping foot and standing up perfectly with a little lean on the car for a bit of support. Feferi comes out of the other side and quickly goes to his side for support and walking up the door steps to the house. Therefore, the boy settles in on his bed with feferi cuddling up to his chest, sleeping beautifully and rubbing her back. He watches her sleep like a bug in a rug until a knock on his door appears, "Hey, just to let you know kankri is leaving so i'll be back from dropping him off alright?" "Okay." the girl moves in her sleep as if she was getting disturbed from the talking. And the night is slowly coming to an end since now it's 11 pm and tomorrow is going to become today. The boy's eyes went shut and holding onto feferi, bringing her close in his slumber.

Tomorrow is today.
Today is going to be awkward.

Lunch is around this time and eridan stayed close to his girlfriend's side, holding onto her hand and walking behind her slowly. Feferi protected him as they walk off from the cafeteria to go outside and eat. Eridan kept looking down until he felt someone bumped into him causing both the girl and the boy to fall down onto the grass aside them, "Hey, watch where you're going!" she didn't see who it was as she looked around for faces. She ignored that and helped out Eridan, "Thanks honey.." "anything for you." kissing his cheek and grabbed his hand, leading to go somewhere to go eat and sit , peacefully.

Isn't Eridan's day going out swell?

The last period of the day, he has a class with aradia and sollux but surprisingly sollux wasn't here all day today. "Oh my god! Eridan!" running up to him and hugging him with joy, "H-hey Aradia! I'm glad you're here." she smiles and unravels her arms from the hug and places her hands in her backpack, searching for something. "So how's your day?" continuing to walk to her seat and the boy follows her from the behind telling his day, "Well shitty but not welcoming i suppose..and let me say, i got knocked over from some jerk." Getting done with looking for the gift and turns around towards him, "is that for me?" "Well of course sweetheart! Who else?" Taking the gift, he examines it and doesn't see a name from it was from. Shrugging his shoulders and opened the gift up as he sat down on a near by chair. "What the hell? Wait...this is my other scarf! Who.." opening the scarf up to see a note and it smells like honey; sollux. "Is this an apology letter?" Aradia goes up to him and is very concerned since this is her first time ever hearing or seeing this from him. Eridan reads out loud to her.

Note:

Dear Eridan,
Sorry for what I have done and this is very unnecessary of me to hurt you like that. I had to tell my brother and the principal about it..y'know the fight and the last fight we can ever perform. As you can tell or have not already, I'm being homeschooled at the moment and will forever be until this year is over but if you ever see Aradia, tell her that I love her and I'd like for us to still be together..like I truly want to be with her. But anyways, yes Eridan Ampora I had your old scarf for I don't know how long but I'm giving it back to you. Don't you dare give it back to me as if you don't need it anymore.

Sincerely Sollux.

Aradia sighs and tries to hold in her tears, "what am I suppose to do now? He was always there..and how could he blame himself?.." eridan looks up at Aradia who is already sobbing. "Aradia! No no don't cry okay? Plus you can see him any day you'd feel like." Aradia wipes her tears and noticed eridan coming in to hug her, so she took that request and hugged tightly, crying into his scarf that he is wearing now.
How could he blame himself?
It's suppose to be myself that hurt him..
