Ding!

'hey _______. im comin ovver. dont tidy up your house or anythin. itll be a wwaste a time.'

You smiled as you read the text your best friend, Eridan, sent. You never cared if he came unexpectedly. And he knew that. You are always welcome to company. Especially Eridan's. You've been best friends with him ever since you could remember. And over time, you began to develop a slight... Crush for him.

No, not because he hailed from a rich family. You just liked him. Even though he was a bit of a douche, he was really fun when you got to know him enough. He may be clingy, but you liked that.

'Alright. Can't was to see you! ^w^'

You set down your cellphone and brushed your rat-nest hair to get ready for him to come. Never said anything about getting yourself ready.
After you were all done, the doorbell rang. You grinned, then bounded to the door. When you opened the door, however...

Eridan... Was wearing...

"Heeey, _______~"

Cue scream.
He had smudgy makeup all over his face with uneven pigtails. He was also wearing stuff that looked like what a stripper would wear, such as a seriously short miniskirt and a shirt that wasn't even a shirt anymore. Hell, he was even wearing high heels. Worse? Nothing to cover his legs.

"ERIDAN, WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK ARE YOU WEARING?!" you screeched, trying to shield away the horror that was before you. Eridan smiled an assholish smile, "Wwell, it's March noww, right? I decided to try somethin' neww this year!"
"Is that Feferi's miniskirt?!"
"She wwouldn't mind. You knoww her, right?"
"But, you're dressed up like some sort of slut!!"
"Like it?"
"HELL NO!!"

You tried to slam the door on him, but you were too slow. He stopped the door and slipped through into your house before you could shut and lock it. Now you have to deal with... Whatever the fuck Eridan was right now. He instantly plopped down on your couch and grinned. "So, wwhat havve you been up to?"
You only responded with a disgusted glare. "Eridan, get off of my couch right now." you growled.

"Wwhat? Wwhy?"

You went over to him and pushed him off. "Because there's NO WAY you're touching my furniture in that."
He just pouted. "... Alright, what the fuck is going on?" you asked. "Nothin'~ Just wanted to havve a little fun is all."

"..."
You took out your cellphone. "I'll be right back."
"Wwait, you're not callin' who I think you're callin'."

Yes, you were calling who he thinks you're calling. You browsed your phone until you could find the number you were looking for. With a push of the 'call' button, you dashed into your room and shut the door. "_______! Please don't call him!!" you heard Eridan plea from the other side of the door. You locked it for good measurement.

'Hey there, _______. Vwhat's goin' on, sweet cheeks?'
Thank god he answered.
"Cronus, do you have any idea what the FUCK your brother is wearing?!" you asked, a little too exasperated. 'Vwait, vwhat are you talking about? Vwhat is he vwearing?'

You were glad that your phone could take and send pictures to people while calling. You quickly opened your door, snapped a picture, and shut it again. "Okay, I'm sending you the pic." you said and sent it.
Wow.
Technology these days.
On the other line, you could hear a crapload of laughing. Well, seems like he got it. '_______, vwhat the fuck am I looking at here? Is this REALLY Eridan?' he asked between laughs. "Yeah, unfortunately. And he's right outside my door. What am I supposed to DO here?!"
'Vwell, one thing's for sure. I hawve some blackmail. And another thing is... Vwait, he hasn't told ya yet? Man, no matter howv much I tell him, he still doesn't hawve style.'

You rose an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
'Vwell,' he began, 'He vwas askin' me for some advwice a fewv days back, see. Vwhich vwas outta character for him. The advwice he vwas asking for vwas howv to get girls. Y'see, I knewv he vwas talking about you. So, I told him that it has to be a surprise. But, this vwasn't exactly vwhat I had in mind.'
... Wait. Eridan liked you? "Eridan likes me?"

'You havwen't noticed? Then I guess you're made for each other. _______, he's head ovwer heels for ya.'

You almost dropped your phone. You didn't know how to respond to that. '... I'll talk to you later, alright?'
With that, Cronus hung up. This was... Quite unexpected, really. You never knew... How could you have not noticed?! You set the phone down on your dresser and went to the door. With its lock unlocked, you swung it open and embraced Eridan.

"_______... I'm sorry. I lovve you. But, I didn't knoww howw to confess. I thought that-"
"I love you too, Eridan... You don't have to say anything..."
He returned your embrace.
