The Good Ending Meme

3. On To The Next Generation - Marriage, children, and the passing of the torch...

4. Reborn Into Happiness - Death does not always have to be the end. There's always reincarnation, after all...

5. Earn Your Happy Ending - They went through hell, but damn right it was worth it.

6. The Bittersweet But Still Happy Ending - They lost many people important to them, but still, life goes on, and people rebuild their lives.

7. Sometimes, People Can Change For The Better - They used to be bitter, twisted, and more often then not, their own worst enemy. But not any more!

8. Sick No More - Whatever medical contion that has been wrecking havoc on their lives has gotten much better.

9. The Luck Bonanza - Something very lucky has happened to them.

10. Not Dead After All - They or their important people weren't dead after all. Time for a happy reunion!

[ Because this meme needs more Eridan.

Also. orz Only Eridan fails HTML on an opening post. ]

[ Feferi stared down at her screen for a while, with a little bit of shock, and a lot of... intrigue?

Red, huh? ]

I t)(ink...
T)(at t)(is somet)(ing we s)(ould reely talk about in person.
I'm coming up.

[ He stared at his screen for a second, pumpsack thudding. Nononono. Eridan was not good with emotions. He was already having a hard enough time doing this via Trollian.

MOTEHRFU-- ]

fef wwait i

[ Fuck, no response. Oh god. WELP. TIME TO HIDE THE WANDS IN HIS CHEST. Even though she knew about them in his refrigerator already. Still. It was the principle.

He primped and made sure not a hair or fold of clothing was out of place in record time. And he didn't want to seem desperate when she arrives, so he'd wait inside until she arrived, because what is courtesy even--

ACT. CASUAL. NOT LIKE SHE'S BEEN HIS RED FUCKING CRUSH SINCE ALWAYS. ]

[ It always took her a little bit to get her bearings when she came out of the sea. The land was strangely awkward for her to navigate, and her hair always became so much heavier when it wasn't floating freely around her.

Not to mention having to wring it out...

Okay. That's better. Once she was sure she wasn't dripping everywhere, Feferi made her way up to Eridan's ship, her lips twitching a little as she climbed up to the door. Such a ridiculous hive. But so very him.

She doesn't even bother knocking when she gets there, just walks on in instead, looking around. Ugh, what room could he even be in this time. ]

Eridan? You didn't run away on me, did you?

[ Really, he'd always thought it was an endearing trait of hers--that is, seeing how the hair clung to her face out of water. It was still sprightly, even when not floating around.

Not like he would ever say anything like that, though. He had an image to uphold, after all.

He was trying to think of something mundane to do. Something that they could both do, so he didn't look like a raging idiot just standing there, fidgeting with whatever-have-you, so he was in the nutritionblock, sitting at a table with a plate of goldfish crackers and a portable husktop nearby. Cause of course he was totally doing other things. He was too aloof to stress out like that. ]

Fef? [ He got up from where he was sitting after taking a deep breath-- trying pretty damn hard to seem chill about it--and stood in plain view at the far end of the livingblock. He had his arms across his chest, putting on his usual theatrics despite the purple tint dusting his cheeks. ] Fef, a'course I wuh-wouldn't run awuh-way, that's just despicable comin' from a wuh-well bred troll like me.

[ Eridan, you idiot. Invite her to sit down and snack or something. ]

[ Oh there's no need for the invitation and the being proper or any of that. A smile lights her face when she spots him and any and all pretense flies out the window. Feferi takes off down the hallway toward him, moving at a pace somewhere between a jog and just walking.

When she gets close enough, the last few steps are ignored altogether and she leaps, launching herself into him to wrap her arms around his shoulders and hold on.

Don't mind her, she's just going to nuzzle against your chest as she holds you. No big deal. ]

[ Nope. Not with Feferi, not with the troll that knows him better than anyone. Better even than Karkat could ever aspire to know him. But still, she is a Tyrian-blood, she is the Heiress, and she is his pale-pal. And it was one of the few ways he knew how to actually show he had a few redeeming qualities under all those abrasive layers.

A small, confused sound sputtered from him at the quick pace, but he was about to just turn and lead the way into the kitchen wh--dsjufbdv thinkpan says wat.

Luckily he just reacted and instinctively caught her. ] Uh--er...

[ Brows knit a bit, but not in a bad way at all. He was actually trying to manage a smile, but it was beyond awkward as she nuzzled him, oh god. It took a few moments of standing there, just staring in utter disbelief, before he realized that maybe she would like it if he put an arm around her? That's how these things were supposed to go, right? Yeah. Yeah, he was supposed to hold her, too. ]

[ Yes. Holding her back would certainly be a good place to start. It's called a hug, Eridan. Better start getting used to this.

She stays like this for a little while, her eyes closed as she stayed there, simply drinking him in. So wonderfully warm and comforting and...

Hee.

After a few moments of quiet she finally lifts her head to look up at him, giving him a Very Stern Look. ]

Why did you wait so long to say something!

[ Hey! It could be worse. Even if Feferi was his Moirail, he was still pretty tight with Karkat. Who watched those ridiculous romcom movies. And tried to peddle them off with occasional success to Eridan. He could be blowing this in the most hilarious and obvious of ways.

But yes. He could get used to this. This was definitely something he could negotiate doing for Feferi. The silence was more than helpful for the awkward turtle, and as the moments passed, he relaxed and kinda eased right into this foreign thing that was called--what are they called again? Oh, right. hugs.

His cape just kinda ended up draping around her, too, and he really didn't mind at all. Nothing would ever hurt her when tucked away in his cape. ]

Wuh-wh-- [ He snapped out of it quickly and quickly became flippant, albeit his reactions were somehow slightly milder for right now. ] Oh come on, Fef. These thin's take time. Like, I can't just blurt it out the first chance I get, it takes careful plannin' an preparations to brin' up subjects'a this sort.

Just think'a howuh-wuh it could'a gone if I had carelessly chosen some random fuckin' moment to sprin' it on you. I wuh-would look like a guppy.

[ Feferi grinned and lifted a hand to poke at his cheek, her head tilted to the side as she looked at him. ]

But you could've been so much happier so much sooner.

[ And then she was standing on her toes and stretching her neck up so that she could place a tiny little kiss to one of his fins, cupping the back of it with her hand to push it forward, just enough that she could reach. ]

As soon as you said it, it was like... something opened up and said hey, silly girl in the water, you should probably realize that something about what he just said feels right.

[ Brows raised as he looked down at her, hiding part of his face behind a fold of his scarf. He could feel the violet getting a little darker and betraying him, so he just kinda..looked off to the side and mumbled. ]

Yeah, yeah. Like I said though, these situations hawe to be approached wuh-with finesse.

[ But then his attention came back to her, and he looked bewildered againsodvffb. Eridan dipped his head a little bit to make it easier, ~~because god if that wasn't the cutest damn thing,~~ and cupped the fin in one hand with another awkward grin. That little display was, unfortunately, as well as he could communicate his appreciation and affections. He was terrible with this emotional stuff. ]

Wuh-well a'course, Fef, I could'a told you that a long time ago. Wuh-we are both sea dwuh-wellers--an I'm not sayin' that's the only reason here, but it's just that.. [ Nope.jpg. Eridan is stopping right there. ]

Edited 2012-06-01 06:58 (UTC)

[ Oh no you're not, Eridan. Feferi purses her lips together a little and absently lets her hand move from his fin to the back of his head to toy with his perfectly coiffed strands of hair. So meticulous. It's sort of adorable. ]

It's just what?

[ She lowers herself back down to her feet again and tilts her head curiously, blinking her eyes rather owlishly.

She's gonna get it out of you one way or another, Eridan. It'll be easier and less painful if you just give in right away. ]

[ His hand twitched from his earfin, waving it to try and shoo Feferi's hand from his hair as if his need to protect it was instinctual. And it was a good distraction to help change the subject, on top of that. ] Hey, be careful, I spend a lot a time keepin' up wuh-with these flawuh-wuhless looks, you knowuh-wuh.

Like it's nice an' all that your hair just does that kind'a thin' naturally, but some'a us hawe to take time an style this kind'a perfection. [ Oh, look. Eridan managed a subtle compliment, even if he didn't realize it. There's something else to talk about!

But the wide-eyed look just had him giving Feferi his own, mildly bewildered look. What ever could she be expecting from him? ~~Please, no, don't make him say it Feferi, it's embarrassing.~~ ]

[ Too bad. She's playing with the hair. It'd be kind of nice to see him let it down for a change. ]

It's just the two of us here, Eridan, and there's no need to try to impress me.

[ She presses in closer and does bring her hand away from his hair (eventually) in order to tap his lips with a shake of her head. ]

Uh uh. You're not changing the subject on me. What were you going to say before?

[ And then she grins. ]

Tell me and I'll give you something very nice.

[ Bluh. Well, that didn't stop him from trying to lean his head away or something. But there's a reason he doesn't leave it down. His hair teeters on that thin borderline that divides 'wavy' from 'curly.' It just..it looks like a mess. ]

Impressin' you isn't the issue here, it's a matter'a principle, Fef. It could ruin the whole point if I wuh-were to say somethin'. [ Not really. But he just blinked, looking away again with a grumble as she played with his features as she pleased. He, in the mean time, was still more than happy to just keep her nice and tucked away in his cape. And hopefully maybe warm since she was still damp. ]

I don't see wuh-why it's so important all of a sudden, an I think it goes wuh-without sayin'-- [ He paused and raised a brow. ] Like wuh-what?

[ It's incredibly warm, and comfortable, and reassuring, and Feferi is pretty sure that if she could just wrap herself up in the cape when he wasn't around, she'd be perfectly content. He'd be with her, even when he wasn't with her.

Did he have spares? She should steal a spare.

She shakes her head back and forth a few times and grins. ]

Nope! Telling you would give away the surprise. But I promise, it'll definitely be worth anything you might think is too embarrassing to say out loud.

[ Of course he does. He even has a few spare FLARP capes. And those are the cool capes with the spikes and everything. Of course she's welcome to them, but there will be a pointless fuss about her taking one of his capes and keeping it with her, because he's just stubborn and difficult like that.

But he would make sure she got to keep one in the end.

He was still going to be difficult about plenty of other things as well, but he always meant well in his own backwards ways when it came to Feferi. She was one of the few trolls he knew he could trust without question, so she'd always seen more glimpses of his agreeable side as they grew up. More than anyone else had seen anyway, so even if he didn't really know how to maintain a red quadrant, it would still come easier for him with Feferi filling it with him. Not that he could imagine it being anyone else, anyway.

He rolled his eyes with an exasperated sigh, but if he was going to say it, he was going to make it sound like it was absolutely no big deal at all. He was going to say it like it wasn't even worth really mentioning, even if it was actually pretty important to him. ] Fine... Wuh-whatewer, Fef. I wuh-was just goin' a say that it's cause I'm the only troll wuh-with the skills it takes'a keep you safe an all of that nonsense. You knowuh-wuh..your annoyin' Lusus aside an all.

Edited 2012-06-01 08:46 (UTC)

[ Good. She'll make sure to snag one of them, then. But not any of the ones with spikes because that's weird and, let's face it, it'd make sleeping a little bit difficult. Plus she might accidentally stab one of the cuttlefish with it and that just wouldn't be any good at all.

She's used to the stubborn, though. She can deal with it. She has for a long time, after all.

His answer makes her smile and she tips her head. There's happiness in her eyes as she giggles lightly. ]

Well, you're certainly the only one who can be there for me if I need you down in the sea.

[ And then she's leaning up again, raising herself back onto her toes. ]

I like that answer. Ready for your prize?

[ Well, if she can deal with the stubborn, then he can deal with the fish puns and over-bubbliness. Sounds like a plan.

But the look in her eyes puts him off again and has his cheeks darken just a little bit more with the new proximity, bewilderment poorly hidden behind a curious nonchalance. But then Eridan did his best to act flippant and casual once more. ] Fef, hawe I ewer been not ready for anythin'? It would be unbecomin' of an aspirin' general to be caught off guard.

[ Yes. Good blush. Feferi can't help but think that that little hint of purple across his cheeks is precious, and she's more than happy to see it. She likes it when he loosens up a little bit, even when he's pretending he isn't. ]

Good.

[ With a final grin, Feferi grips his collar and pulls him down the rest of the way, pressing her mouth against his. ]

[ Wait, what..

WHAT IS THIS EVEN-- ]

Edited 2012-06-02 02:00 (UTC)

[ Wait did she--

Are they..? ]

[ COME ON DON'T CHOKE, FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS UNDERGROUND. TIME TO MAN UP AND EARN THE STRIPES ON YOUR PANTS. ]

[ There was a moment where he just stared in shock after their lips met, initially tensing up like a purrbeast trying to get shoved into a pool. One might think he was about to jump backwards, but truth be told, Eridan was halfway expecting something like this from Feferi. He just hadn't let himself hope she would actually do it.

And even after his thinkpan registered that this was actually happening, he was tense, but at least he wasn't a statue any more. And he didn't look quite so lost. He just a little defeated, but in such a way that the only negative connotation behind the expression was just rampant nerves. In fact, a few sharp edges softened a little bit, but only for as long as they held the kiss.

Fuck's sake, he wished he could shrink away into his scarf. There was no hiding the rampant streak of purple across his face any more. BUT HE TOOK IT LIKE A MAN. Kinda. A grunting sound muffled in the back of his throat, sure, but Eridan would like to think he kinda redeemed himself by at least having the sense to drop an arm and hold her by her waist?

Feferi, was his other hand doing the right thing? It hesitated, but. It tried to brush some hair back behind one of her earfins. It felt like that's what he was supposed to do, but he was radiating awkwardness from every pore, and there was no more covering it up, even if he tried to make it seem like this was exactly what he was planning the whole time.

He totally planned this out, yeah. ]

[ She almost starts laughing. The noise threatens to bubble out of her, but she manages to keep it contained and stop it from coming out, capturing it in the back of her throat instead. He was just so glubbing cute, she couldn't handle it.

It's a relief when he finally drops his arm around her waist. There was a brief moment there that she was worried it was wrong, that she had read the tension between them incorrectly, but she was glad to see that wasn't the case. In fact, the moment his hand lowers around her, she squirms in closer, pressing her chest fully against his happily.

The hand against her fin caused a slight shiver to run down her spine and she gripped at his collar tighter, tilting her head to try to silently encourage him to touch the fin again.

And. You know. Maybe kiss her back a little bit. ]
