Young Volcanos (EriAra)

[A/N]surprise bitch

i bet you thought you'd seen the last of me
CHAPTER 8:

"Really? You interrupted one of my iller beat sessions just to get my opinion on some douchebag?"

"He's not a douchebag! I just wanted your opinion before I... yanno... actually date him."

"I dunno, Ara," Dave said after taking a long sip from his apple juice. "He kinda seems like a douche to me."

Dave had been another one of your long time friends. You had met through Rose, and the two of you clicked instantly. You even found that the two of you are both Time players in your favorite video game!

You were on the phone with him discussing your possible newly found relationship with Eridan.

"He's not a douche! He's actually kinda sweet," You defended.

"Sure, but who the fuck dyes ONE streak of their hair purple? And why purple of all colors? It has douchery written all over it."

You chuckled. "How does having one streak of purple make him a douchebag?"

"He's making the OCD people uncomfortable. Like, the ones who hate asymmetry and shit. I don't know." He slurped the rest of the apple juice through his straw, even though it was gone.

"You know there's nothing left in that glass, right?"

"This shit is fucking gold. All hell would break loose if I let a single drop of this bitch go."

You laughed. What an idiot. "Back to the topic. Eridan-- date or no?"

"If you wanna date someone just getting over their scene phase, I say go for it. The OCD's will pray for your downfall."

"I can handle that."

"Great. You've got my blessing. I gotta go, Ar. These sick beats aren't gonna throw down themselves."

With that, he hung up.

You loved Dave, but what a fucking douche bag!

You thought you should really give Eridan a chance. After all, you had a Strider's blessing!

You opened the Pesterchum application on your phone and clicked on Eridan's contact.
