Where it all begins (Humanstuck) Erisol (finished)

16

A month has passed now and it's getting near Eridan's birthday. A week from now. Feferi has been talking to Aradia and Sollux more frequently than she would with Eridan. At school, Eridan is surprised the fact he couldn't find Feferi anywhere so he went to sit down normally at their spot for lunch and waited. Lunch is almost over until he sees Feferi walk toward him with a upsetting look on her face. "Feferi? What's wrong?" "Listen Eridan..I've been thinking about our relationship lately and..I want to..b-break up with you." Feferi wipes a couple of tears coming down her face, Eridan comes in to give her a hug, "how come? Unless you don't want to tell then I won't put you into that much of pressure." Feferi having her head on his shoulder and has a soft voice, trying to speak up more. "I've been getting feelings for Aradia. And I feel like we grew close to each other..y'know?" The bell rings and they stopped hugging and Eridan nods his head at her response. "I'll see you later okay?" Both waving goodbye, feferi went her way and eridan went his own. Later on that day, Eridan goes back to his house and he's home alone now. Nothing to do. Sollux is still being homeschooled but seeming to be ignoring him here and there for awhile now. He didn't bother to mess around and message him so he went to take a shut eye afterwards of all of the exhaustion from school and the walk.

On the other hand, Sollux is trying to figure out most of his problems which is his health and Eridan's birthday. Until he gets a spam of messages and missed calls from Feferi.

New messages:
F: "sollux, I'm heartbroken."
F: "please pick up your phone!"
F: missed call
F: missed call
F: missed call
F: "Holy shit dude! Eridan is really fucked up and I need you..sol?"

Sollux is trying his best to ignore it but he never knew this would be important especially to Feferi unfortunately. "Feferi? What happened?" Once he made the call back, she answered the phone in tears. "Why would he do this sollux?.." "Feferi calm down ok-" "I cannot blame the hell down! He broke my heart damnit! He made me feel like a whore for fuck sake!?" She's basically telling on the phone now, "Wait what!? Okay Feferi please tell me what the hell happened?" Sollux listens to her words carefully to hear the situation. But the pictures came up. "I don't understand why he has pictures of him and Karkat! It makes no sense.. was he playing any tricks?" "I-I don't know Feferi..sorry." "Sollux, talk to him please. He's not answering me anymore and I need answers about this..plus he did bad things to m-" "he did what. I swear to god if he touched you in anyway bad way, I'll tear him up." "Good, that's what I want you to d-" before she could even finish her words, sollux hangs up angrily and storms out of his room and making his way towards the front door to leave and have a talk with Eridan. He's honestly pissed off about Eridan hurting his friend like that and bangs on his front door, not meaning to bang that hard or loud. Cronus opens the door and is surprised by this, "Hey um Sollux, what's with the loud banging?" "I need to talk to your brother. It's about Feferi." Cronus gives off a concerned look towards him and let's Sollux in their house, hearing heavy; quick footsteps toward his room. Eridan is still taking his nap til he heard his door opening up and closing loudly causing him to jump up from the sound and put on his glasses to see what that sound was necessary for. "S-sollux?..Sollux!?" Sollux pushes him back and lifts his up from his shirt, "what did you do to feferi?." His voice deepen and gets closer each time trying to get an answer from the scared and confused boy. "W-what do you mean? She broke up with me." "Because of you touching her without her permission AND those damn disturbing pictures of you making out with Karkat-" Eridan's hands covers his mouth and tried to keep his voice down but he pushes the boy's hands down and grips his wrists. "Don't you dare ever do that again to me when I talk!" "I-I never did anything bad except for those images! Plus she wanted me to have sex with her but that failed because of her sister coming over to pick her up!" The pinned boy's legs are under Sollux's lower regions and is trying not to touch the region as sollux keeps talking. "Why would you do these kind of things!? You are so ungrateful for her! I shouldn't have chosen her for you! Y-you fucking pervert." Eridan tried to adjust himself but those words cut him off guard. "Whoa whoa! First of all those pictures were to make you fucking jealous and give me revenge on you. And second of all, it was your idea to help me with my depression. So don't make up dumb fucking shit!?" Cronus opens the door, wide open with attitude coming from his mouth. "Hey! What the hell is this all about!?" Going up towards the boys and tried to separate them, "Sollux let go of his shirt now." Sollux gives Eridan a dark stare and let's go as he knows not to piss off Cronus. Settling everything down, eridan sitting up on the bed, sollux standing with his arms crossed and Cronus sitting next to Eridan trying to figure things out. "Okay, from what i heard. Eridan would never do that to Feferi especially touching I guess but the thing is why the hell would you want to make Sollux jealous?" Eridan pauses at that question and sollux taps his foot impatiently trying to hear what the boy has to say for himself. "I looked and saw Sollux's folder that I shouldn't have looked at.." sollux already knew this but acted as if he's not controlling his anger. "I saw nasty things from it and..sexual drawings but y'know as I was pissed off on the day..I um went over to Karkat's place and try to make up a plan. That kissing plan was my plan. Not his." "You just wanted my fantasy to come true, huh? Disgusting." Sollux rolled his eyes and keeps tapping his foot on the floor, "Eridan you knew you could've done a better job than this.." Eridan looks down and apologize for a few more minutes.

His apology is done. Sollux is stilling trying to believe this and trusts Eridan in a way. Cronus agrees with this apology and leaves the two boys behind to at least talk for a few more. "Eridan, were you trying to tell me that you liked me..?" Sollux sits next to him, a little bit far away and looks down, mumbling the question. "I-I...I suppose so?" "Then why didn't you kiss me..?" His time is different now, is he actually jealous? Eridan looks at him and tried to make more of an eye contact with the down boy. "Listen, me and feferi were still dating around that time and I j-" lifting up sollux's chin and his face to see his reaction and his eyes but he has a flushed face and blushing all around his soft cheeks. "Sollux..I didn't know you were jealous!" Sollux puts the boy's hand down and looks away again, "I'm always jealous of you and scared of the consequences for the both of us." "What do you mean 'consequences for the both of us'?" "Well we always fight at the most of things we can get jealous or angry at..that's just called love-hate eridan." Eridan now realizes that fact all those days and months, he's been playing around with Sollux like that. "i-i never knew..sorry about that." Sollux looks back at him and sighs, "Listen, let's just i don't know do something to just get this off of our minds?" The boy is trying to cheer up the heavy talk in the now dark room. He smiles and rubs Eridan's head, "Yeah, you're right! Um how about some-" "Sollux, your brother wants you home. Right now!" Cronus yells it out and both of the boys are confused about those words then Sollux began to leave the boy's room quickly to get back to his house. 

Eridan lays on his bed, playing games on his console and waits patiently for Sollux to message him. Felt like hours while playing his game. Waiting and waiting for at least something to happen but nothing ever happened til' he gets a call from Sollux. He seems to be having a panic attack by now. "Sollux..What's wrong?" Eridan pauses and sits up, worrying about what's going on. "D-dude the jocks are back..a-and i-i don't know wh-" Eridan hears yelling from his side and tries to calm him down a bit before he gets there. "Sollux, whatever you do. Stay silent." Hanging up the phone and quickly making his way out of his room and the house even when Cronus tried to figure out what was going on. Eridan tried to open the door but it seemed to be blocked by somethings so he tried again and seem to knock over a jock who was standing behind the door, blocking anybody's way to get in. "Sollux?!!" Running around and punching and knocking a few jocks over to look for Sollux. He hears terrifying screams upstairs and immediately made his way up there. The jocks are in his room. He knows it. He barely heard the jocks behind him, going to hold him back as he tried saving Sollux from all of this. Using his legs to kick the door open, trying to at least get a view of what they were doing to him. Eyes popped out. Jocks holding the scared boy up by his neck, strangling and making him choke on his own words as he tried to explain this out with the leader having a knife against his throat. 
Will this be the end of Sollux?
