You stop yourself from bursting straight through the door to his respiteblock and knock loudly, “Eridan! Eridan!” You call his name urgently and within moments he opens the door, concerned with your fearful tone and looks down at you questioningly. “Wwhat is it? Wwhy do you look so bloody scared?!” You breathe in deeply and blurt out what you saw as fast as you can, “A pirate ship is coming and it is part of Mindfang’s fleet!” His eyes flash with recognition and he grabs you by your shoulders and pulling you into the room, “Stay in here and don’t come out for anythin do you hear me?”

He gives you a serious look and you nod, “O-okay…” Your bloodpumper beats quickly, you recall when one of Mindfang’s ships docked near your town, raided all the highbloods’ hives and threatened to come back and kill everyone in town if anyone snitched before leaving without a trace. Not two days later the Admiral himself visited, and no one said a word. The greatest and most infamous pirate in troll history has been preceded by her terror-inspiring reputation, you can still see the flag. A spider head with one eye with eight pupils.

He must have read your panic and fear in your eyes because he is talking uncharacteristically soothingly now, “Don’t wworry, I wwill handle it, no bloody pirate wwould dare approach this ship.” He turns and begins to walk out, but you swear you hear him say “except for one…” but all you have time to do is blink and gawk before he walks out and the door clicks.

It has been ten minutes, ten agonizing minutes, and you have no idea what is happening outside of the room. It is killing you; being on the inside of this bubble and separated from the unknown. You want to open the door; you came close twice, but fear and nervousness beat you both times and bullied you into the middle of the room.

Why is it so quiet? Better question: Why is the ocean so freaking loud? You can’t hear a peep! Even if you pressed your ear against the door and focused really hard you still can’t hear over the roar of the ocean.

You have to go out there; you can’t stand it any longer. You grab the door knob, nope! No going back now! You turn it quickly and pull it open before inching down the hall, ears honing in on any noise they pick up. You hear arguing on the deck, so against better judgment, you walk towards the yelling.

You reach the end of the hall where it opens up to the deck and you nearly crap yourself when you see the pirate ship docked right next to the one you are on with a wooden board acting as a bridge between the vessels. The unmistakable flag flying proudly at the highest point of the ship for all to see, from here you can see the crew from both ships standing parallel, glaring and ready for a fight. Maybe you should have stayed in Eridan’s block after all.

Both ships have a blueblooded crew and they are using those mutual, chilling blues to stare daggers at one another, waiting for a reason to cross that makeshift bridge as they face one another. The tension is so thick it makes you want to jump off the ship to escape it, but you edge out a little more to see Eridan, looking very angry, with a shorter troll in his face shouting. The shorter troll has an eye patch and a metal arm with sharp claws. Despite her yelling, she has an almost sinister smile that screams of the mischief in her one blue eye. Her victim, Eridan, is just… taking it. He isn’t saying a word but the piercing glare he is silently giving her would make your blood run cold, even though she seems to be too cold to even notice.

Why hasn’t he done anything at all to her? He is just standing there while this pirate shouts in his face! You are beginning to doubt him but he finally abandons his vow of silence and shouts sharply,”Vvris! Get out of my fuckin face before I take you into custody to be tried before the legislacerators for the heinous act treason against the imperial crown!” The pirate only seems to be amused and cackles in his face, “Oh reeeeeeeeally? Would you turn in your own kismesis? Even your daddy, Dualscar, wouldn’t do that!” she grabs Eridan by the chain of his cape and drags him down for a heated hatesnog.

Eridan seems surprised for a moment before grabbing her by her upper arms, growling into the snog. You feel disgusted and you almost feel a pang of jealously. You know you don’t want him as a kismesis but… oh come on how could you NOT think about kissing him at least once!? He is gorgeous and maybe you are starting to feel something towards him that may or may not be red! You are pretty sure there is some kind of syndrome that explains this, oh right, TrollStockholm Syndrome. Whether not this applies you aren’t sure, but he hasn’t exactly been treating you like a prisoner, besides being a bossy douche, but that is just how he is.

You feel yourself start to glare and cross your arms and clear your throat. Eridan’s back goes straight and he turns to you, not letting go of “Vvris” and he glares at you. “ [First three letters of name]! I thought I told you to wwait in my block!” You glare back, honestly pissed that he didn’t tell you that he knew who was on the ship, so you ignore him and put your hands on your hips, “Why didn’t you tell me you knew her? I had no idea what was going on! Is this how you treat the people that help you even though you trollnapped me!?” The pirate bitch pushes away from Eridan and strolls towards you, oozing confidence you wish you had, but you stand tall.

“Who’s this, Eridan? They have a lot of talk for a lowblood on the ship of a highblood, especially you, Eridan.” She looks you up in down, but talks to Eridan like you aren’t worth talking to. “This is that teacher I told you about, or did you not evven read it the letter? They shouldn’t evven be here right noww.” He stares at you and you shrug it off. “Of course I read it! I just didn’t think you would be able to deal with the fact that she was “lowwer” than you.” She smirks, mocking his accent, and you try not to roll your eyes and you answer before he can, “He has no choice, plus I made him deal with the fact that I am lower than him. I wonder why he still deals with you!”

She walks around you in a circle, “He deals with me because his daddy, Dualscar, is my mother’s, Mindfang, kismesis, and he is fortunate enough to be my kismesis. Have you been whipping my kismesis into shape while I am not here?” You feel a small blush dust your cheeks but disappear but she grins, nothing gets past her does it? She must take after Mindfang, because she kind of scares you when she stares you right in the eye.

You have heard rumors that Mindfang’s children also possess her gifts, so that means she can control your mind, so you stiffen, feeling like a subject of dissection. “Vvris, stop it!” You blink and realize you are closer to the railing of the boat than you were moments ago and you make eye contact with Vriska and break it immediately, looking to Eridan for help who seems to be growing extremely uneasy. You quickly move away, knowing what she was warning and glare, this time you will be ready, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you, there is a very good reason that I am here and if you try that again, you are gonna find out what it is.”

You glare at her, and just like you expected, she takes it as a challenge and grins. The physic waves hits you like a train to the face and nearly overwhelms you before you shout a spell. Suddenly fire shoots from your palms and directly in her face, which she ducks and throws a diamond shaped die which nicks your cheek, a bit of [b/c] blood gushes out. You back up and glare, looking at the water and focus, using a levitation spell to funnel up a blob of water which you turn it to sharp, ice shards and shoot them at her head.

Eridan seems shocked; mouth open and catching flies as you two strife, both crews watching with wide eyes as the lowblood and the pirate strife. She pulls a sword from her side and lunges at you. She has much more experience than you, so you stumble backwards and bump into the railing and she is on you in a blink of an eye.

She has the blade of the sword at your throat, and you have a fireball in each hand on either side of her head, but you are bent backwards on the railing, uncomfortably close to falling off and plunging into the sea. You are both giving one another death stares, but you turn your heads when Eridan shouts angrily, “Both of you stop it right fuckin noww! Vvriska! Let her go! [name] Drop those cod damn fireballs because I wwill not have you twwo cullin one another on my ship!” His purple eyes burn with anger as he shouts the order.

You both look at one another for a moment before she pulls the sword away from your throat and you let the fireballs fizzle out in your palms before standing straight and moving away from the railing. Vriska nods at you before leaving the ship and sailing off, knowing when it wasn’t a good idea to push the highblood from personal experience, leaving you to deal with the furious troll.

You’re sitting on his bed while he paces in front of you, muttering angrily and you know he is about to chew you out big time. You look down when he stops in front of you and makes eye contact with you. He looks really angry, “You completely disobeyed me, [name]. I told you to stay in my block! She nearly CULLED you!” He shouts and you cringe, but gasp when you feel strong arms grab you and yank you from the bed and wrap tightly around you, as Eridan presses his face against the side of you head.

Your eyes widen with shock and surprise as you feel his breath against your ear and he speaks in a hushed whisper, “Don’t evver do that again. Promise me you wwon’t.” For a moment nothing comes out of your mouth, “… I-I, uh… I promise.” You finally get it out and he sighs against your ear and you almost shiver… that felt kind of nice as he pulls away and stares at you. His eyes no longer carry anger, but relief that you’re okay and you smile up at him and he hugs you close again and this time you return the not-as-tight-but-still-constricting hug… and he doesn’t let go. “Uh… Eridan? This is a really long hug…” You talk after a long, mildly awkward silence and he finally lets go and you see the dark purple blush across his cheeks and you feel yourself blushing [b/c] too.

“Sorry… I just… you just really scared me wwhen you wwent up against Vvris…” He gives you a serious look and you are pretty sure he is going to hug you again, but he stops and looks down at you, “Do you… Do you wwant to go home?” The question startles you and you look up at him, “What?” He sighs and looks away and back again, “You really don’t belong out here, so now that you taught me I guess you can go home if you really wwant to…” He looks like he doesn’t want you to go, but he doesn’t say anything, you have never seen this side of him before.

“E-eridan… You are saying that you’ll let me go home? I mean… I miss home, but… there isn’t anything there for me… anymore… plus you don’t know magic yet, you only just started!” You absentmindedly grab your necklace. “I didn’t know you cared that much… h-how much DO you care?” You blush a bit deeper and he does too until even the tips of his fins are a deep shade of purple and he is suddenly the complete opposite of the angry, smug, and obnoxious troll you have come to know over these past couple of weeks. He looks down and stutters even more than usual, his unusual quirk even more prominent as he fidgets, staring at his feet, “I-I, uh… I wwas kinda wwonderin if you had a… ma-matesprit.”

Your eyes widen and you shake your head no, but don’t let go of your necklace. Eridan nods and laces his fingers with one of your hands and gently unbends your fingers so that you let go of the necklace and he laces his fingers with yours, making you blush immensely. “[Name], I-I knoww I havve been a real douche to you lately and I’m really sorry for that… I just feel like I don’t knoww wwhat I wwould do it you wweren’t in my life...”

You feel him hands grow a little sweaty as he takes a deep breath and looks into your eyes with his breathtaking purple ones and he looks like he is about to say something, but looks down and you barely here him mutter, “wwhat am I doin…” Your mind starts working again in the silence and you know what he wants to ask, but is too adorably shy and nervous to. You feel those underlying feelings that have been budding and prospering over these past couple of weeks flourish and bloom and you feel a warm smile come across your face. “Eridan?” You ask softly, making him look up from the rug.

“Are you asking me if you want to be my matesprit?” Your cheeks flush [b/c] again as your smile grows. Eridan opens his mouth to talk but closes it again and nods, you giggle because he looked like a fish when he did that.

Your giggle makes him blush darkly, but he finally opens his mouth, “Can I… kiss you?” You smile and nod, wrapping your arms loosely around his neck as he wraps his arms around your waist. You breath in air as your eyes close halfway and your lips hover for a moment, faces very close before he leans slightly and kisses you softly. It only lasts for a couple of seconds and barely grows deeper before you two gently part and look into each other’s eyes, you smile and lay your head against his chest, “So when is our next lesson?”
I AM SO SORRY THIS TOOK SO LONG! DX I was sick over the weekend and I have felt dead and tired [dead tired] ever since! This is SOOOOOOOO corny and bad... I need to write something that isn't about romance because I am not really good at this! DX please tell me if there are any errors, I will fix them immediately [or after I watch Dr. Horrible because my friend has been RELENTLESSLY harassing me to watch it!] I might start accepting requests for normal fanfictions or Xreaders. MAYBE. I haven't been feeling well and I don't want to give the people who request stuff to get crappy, half-done, spontaneous, plotless, BS i call writing when I am tired.

Happy Early Valentines Day everyone!

I am forever alone :iconcryforever:

Hussie owns Homestuck

Eridan owns you [indirectly Hussie as well unless you too have sold our soul to him]
