(A/N: ok, I will write the next chapter of my Dave x reader fan fictions soon, but i want to focus on this one. and the reason I'm focusing a bit on this one is because THERE IS A HUGE LACK OF ERIDAN X READER FANFICTION!. But for now I just want to get this one going. ^_^ I'm loving this one and as your best friend I shall force you to continue talking to Eridan *flails arms like a chibi* and yes I know that I'm not using the speaking style for Eridan because it's really hard to remember for Feferi, Eridian, and sollux so I'm just going to use it when they're texting and that's it but I will try to make him more dramatic since we all know he is :P all weirdness aside, I hope ya enjoy the chapter. Please review when you're done cause I love hearing from you guys :D)
You and Eridan walk over to Feferi, Jen, and Sollux. You give them all a death glare while they just continue to smile.
"We were looking for you guys!" Feferi said. You roll your eyes but say nothing since even while you were extremely nervous you did enjoy spending a little bit of time with Eridan.
"Where to now?" Sollux asks
"I'm feeling kinda sick" Feferi, to anyone else it might have been convincing but you know exactly what these three are doing and you're not going to fall for it. and now Jen will say-
"Oh, I can drive you home. (your name) can just drive back with Eridan." Jen says, she winks at you and then the next totally expected event occurs.
"I'll go with you, We planned to hang out later anyways"
"wait, what-" Eridan starts but is cut off.
"BAAAAAAAi!" Jen shouts, waving before running towards the front of the mall. Feferi and Sollux both follow at a more reasonable pace. Eridan turns to you, still confused, and shrugs.
"I guess now we won't have to go through the mess of finding them again" He sighs. You laugh, not exactly knowing why but being both happy and still nervous now that you will now be spending the entire day with Eridan.
Feferi's Point of view
"YAAAAY! I call shotgun!" Jen shouts as she jumps into the passengers side of her car. Literally. She jumps. I laugh while Sollux facepalms.
"Jen, you're supposed to be driving" I say and Jen, who seems very amused by this all just sticks her butt out and wigs it.
"say that to my invisible tail!" she says, not making much sense as usual.
"whatever, I'll drive" Sollux says as he walks over to the driver's side.
"ok, so now what? Are we all going to go home or are we going to continue hanging out?" I ask curiously as I slide into the backseat. Jen turns around in her seat and kneels so that she can see me over her seat then starts making weird faces at me. Her form of entertainment is very….unique.
"Why don't we see a movie?" Jen suggests with her weird faces.
"Jen, sit down" I giggle.
"Yeah, that sounds fun. Just because we're leaving those two doesn't mean we can't do something fun." Sollux agrees.
"you in, fef?" Jen asks
"yeah, I'm up for anything!" I say happily.
Your point of view
You and Eridan walk around for a bit at the mall as you discuss what to do next.
"We could always just hang out at your place" Eridan suggests.
"Oh, yeah I guess" You say with a smile.
"Besides, up until now you've never talked to me much and I haven't ever gotten to spend that much time with you" Eridan says, looking towards the front of the mall. He's hiding a slight blush but you obviously don't realize that since he's not looking at you.
"O-oh" You stutter, not really knowing what to think about this. You've always been nervous around him, which was pointed out earlier.
"Anyways, it could be a great chance for us to get to know each other." Eridan says, looking back at you. You nod due to not trusting yourself not to stutter again.
"Should we go?" Eridan asks
"Y-yeah" You say with stutter again. you quietly scold yourself for stuttering so much as you both walk back to Eridan's car
"So where's your house?" Eridan says as he starts his car.
"Uh, it's on (name of your street)." You say, you pull out your phone to see that Jen has texted you.
CK (catastickitten): (your name) YOU BETTER NOT MESS THIS UP .
SK: I can't believe you would do this to me .
CK: Stahp texting me and talk to Eridan! .-.
SK: But I don't know what to say!
CK: o_o well too bad cuz I'm not answering from now on
SK: . JEN!
SK: -_- ok fine, I'll try talking to him
You try thinking of something to say but you draw a complete blank. You kinda just stare blankly out the window until you get that weird feeling that you're being watched and Eridan speaks up confirming that he is the source of that feeling.
"You ok, (your name) you look a bit upset. Did I do something?" He asks with concern painting his face.
"Oh, no. Sorry I was just in deep thought." You realize that you are now driving down the street you live on and you look to your house. "My house is that one" You say pointing to your house. Eridan pulls into the driveway and you hop out of the car. You go to your door and unlock it before walking inside. Eridan follows you and you lead him to your room. You open the door and watch Eridan's expression as he looks around your personalized and especially awesome room. First he looks towards a (favorite band/ music artist) poster and smiles.
"I'm really into that kind of music" He says walking deeper into the room than just the doorway.
"I do too! but, you probably figured that out" You say blushing slightly due to how nervous you are. You then watch as Eridan scans the rest of your room.
"This looks really cool. I see we have a lot more in common than I thought" He says. You laugh and he looks at you with a smile.
"What?" You ask
"Oh, it's nothing really" He says with a sigh and smiles wider. you place your hands on your hips and lean to one side making a questioning look. Eridan just laughs and you can't help but break the serious pose to laugh again.
"What do you want to do?" He asks you and you stop to think for a moment.
"I don't know, there's not much to do here" You shrug and Eridan then sits down on your bed.
"We could order a pizza and watch a movie" He says.
"Yeah, ok"
After picking out choosing to watch (favorite movie), and getting the pizza you both head to your living room and sit on the couch. You receive a text from Jen.
CK: Sup, kitten? :3
SK: Hush, I'm trying to watch a movie
CK: I bet ya $10 that you can't jump off your roof without breaking a bone o_o
SK: Where the hell did that come from?
CK: my head. now shut up and talk to the total hottie that is sitting next to you .
SK: JEN!
CK: We all know you think he's hot, don't lie!
SK: Yes, but you're the one who texted ME so don't tell me to shut up
CK: SHUT UR FACE AND SPEAKALIZE YOUR WORDS! hah I made that word just now :3
SK: I noticed, I'm going to stop now.
You hear a quiet laugh from next to you and see that Eridan is looking at you. You quickly turn your phone off and shove it it your pocket while tilting your head down to avoid the blush from showing. You just hope that he couldn't read what you were saying because you can't bring yourself to ask.
"the movie is starting" Eridan says pointing to the screen. He seems to have a smile on his face throughout the entire movie, maybe he finds the movie to be funny. Between the two of you the pizza is gone and once you finish the first movie you just end up adding a second. But neither of you are really paying attention, you both just talk to each other the entire time.
"Hey, tomorrow is supposed to be really nice, why don't we ask the others if they want to go to the beach or something?" Eridan asks.
"Uh, yeah! That would be fun" You say no longer nervous, not for now at least.
"Hopefully they don't bail out again, Feferi didn't look sick at all and Jen and Sollux seemed way too eager to leave with her. I wonder why" Eridan says. you laugh
"I have no doubt that something will come up." You say.
"Oh, and why's that?" Eridan says and turns to look at you. You look directly in his eyes and suddenly you're nervous again, plus you don't know how to answer that without saying 'Because they've been trying to get me to talk to you since I've had a crush on you like forever'
"I-I" You stutter trying to think of something to say"
"Do you think they're planning something?" Eridan asks once he realizes that you're not going to be able to finish that sentence.
"No! not at all" You say automatically.
"Oh well. The movie seems to be over…wait, what time is it?" Eridan asks.
"2:00" You say, more than happy to change subjects.
"I think today has turned into a day of movies" Eridan says. You both pick out another movie and begin to speak again.
"I texted Sol and Fef and they said they would love to go to the beach, Jen is still with Sol and she agreed to go, too." Eridan says.
"ok!" You say with a smile, you've always loved the beach and you had just gotten a new swim suit about a week ago. Again you get a text from Jen.
CK: OOOOOOOH THE BEACH maybe he wants to see you in a bikini :3
SK: Jen, he's not like that
CK: yeah but that doesn't mean he wouldn't enjoy it
SK: we're just friends.
CK: skip the friend stage GET TO THE FUN STUFF
SK: o_o what?
CK: I'm watching you outside your window :3
you look out the window to see that Jen is no where to be found
CK: made ya look ^_^ now pay attention cuz he's looking at you! .
SK: how would you know that
CK: Logic o_o
you put your phone back down to see that Eridan really is looking at you.
"Jen seems very interested in what we're doing." Eridan says with a laugh
"Yeah, she's a really curious person." you say putting your phone back in your pocket. you both spend the entire day watching movies until about 12:00 when you both realize what time it is
"wow, it got late quickly" You say as you finish another movie.
"Yeah, but this was really fun." Eridan says.
"Uh, it's really late. You want to just stay here?" You ask Eridan raises an eyebrow and your face reddens "I mean, it's just that you're here and-" You're cut off
"I know, I was just surprised that you suggested that. Every other time I saw you before today you were always really shy, and even today that seems to have only went away partially." Eridan says with a smile.
"I try really hard not to be shy but.." You trail off after talking really quickly and looking down.
"I just thought it was sort of cute" Eridan says looking back up at the TV screen. It takes you a few seconds to be able to fully recover from that considering it's pretty surprising.
"S-so.." You start
"I would love to stay" Eridan says turning back to you. You smile before standing up.
"Well, we might as well find another movie to watch now. Not that we were really watching them" You say going to grab a movie
"Yeah, I think it's mostly background noise." Eridan says as he follows you to help pick out a movie. You begin to watch the movie and this time after a little while you both do begin to pay attention and somewhere in all this you begin to doze off.
Eridan's point of view
The movie wasn't even 20 minutes in when (your name) had fallen asleep, she had fallen and leaned against me so I gently move her closer so she isn't in such an awkward and uncomfortable position and I let my arm hang loosely over her side. I then go back to watching the movie which is now much more boring and pointless since (your name) has fallen asleep. It doesn't take very long before I also fall asleep.
Your point of view
You wake up extremely disoriented and a bit confused. It doesn't take you very long to realize that you are not only using Eridan's chest as a pillow but he also has his arm around you. your face becomes red and you try to move yourself without waking Eridan. You fail to do this however, and as he wakes up he removes his arm from around you and looks at you. You quickly jump away with a squeak.
"I-I'm sorry, I didn't m-mean to fall asleep on you" You say stuttering a lot.
"It's fine, you're really huggable anyways" Eridan says with a smile.
"Wha-" You start to ask, face becoming brighter but then you hear the doorbell ring a thousand times. You run over to the door and open it to reveal Jen who is staring right back at you but continuing to push the button. As soon as Sollux makes it to the door he pushes her hand away, though.
"sorry, I let her get to the door before me." Sollux says.
"Jen, you have a key!" You say and just glare at her
"I know but this is more fun and-" She stops and both Jen and Sollux seem to be staring past you with a trace of shock showing on their faces.
"Hey" Eridan says and you immediately know why they're surprised.
"Hey, Eirdan" Jen says and looks at you with a smile that screams I-told-you-so
"So are we going to go? We need to swing by my house so I can get a few things anyways." Eridan says
"Yeah, (your name) Are you ready?"
"No, I need to go get some things" You say as you race to your room and grab a random bag. You shove your new swim suit in it and then grab sunglasses, a towel, and all that other stuff you would need. you change into your bikini and throw a pair of shorts on and some sandals. You then run back out to the others while putting your hair into a ponytail.
"Ok, let's go" Jen says as she runs out to Sollux's car.
"Should we just ride with you?" Eridan asks
"Yeah, that makes sense" Sollux says as he sits in the drivers side. Jen slips into the passenger's seat and both you and Eridan sit in the back.
"We also need to pick up Feferi" Jen says as Sollux begins to drive. You know that she is going to start asking questions so you grab your phone out and soon enough a question appears.
CK: Soooo what did you guys do? :3
SK: watch movies
CK: and? o-o
SK: ate pizza
CK: and?
SK: Talked
CK: and?
SK: stop it, that's all we did
CK: The fact that he stayed over says differently. soooo, and?
SK: He only stayed over cuz it was really late!
CK: whatever, Im not getting ANYTHING out of you.
you put your phone away and stare out the window the entire ride including when the car stops for Feferi and for Eridan to grab the stuff necessary to swim. The next thing you know you've arrived at the beach.
