Illusion never changed into something real

WHO: Eridan and Feferi
TONE: This might break a couple of hearts. like Eridan's
RATING: PG
WHEN: 15/1/12 (After dinner but before curfew)
WHERE: Astronomy tower
WHAT: Eridan commented on Feferi's entry. Feferi told him they needed to talk. Rampant miscommunication, and oh Eridan baby you're babbling. This will be close to a conversation that they have in canon. They will both need snuggles after this.
STATUS: ONGOING!


Feferi drew her robe around herself a little tighter to ward off the chill of the castle (although if she was entirely honest with herself, she wasn't just shivering because of the cold), glancing around as she made her way through the hallways up to the Astronomy tower. She stared up the stairs for a moment before drumming up her courage and ascending. She gnawed on her lower lip worriedly, thinking about how best to start this conversation.

Her heart was pounding and her mouth was dry by the time that she came to the door at the top of the stairs, and she took a deep breath before pushing it open, expecting that Eridan was probably already up there.

"Eridan?" she called.

Feferi jumped to her feet when Eridan did, not because she felt threatened or anything but because it was the only thing she could think of to do. Watching Eridan was breaking her heart. Why did he have to make this so hard?

But the worst part was that she knew he was right. He was right, she should have tried to talk to him before it just got to be too much, but she was just...tired, now. She pressed the heels of her hands against her eyes. "I'm sorry, Eridan."

"What are you sorry for?" He was starting to get really crazy, now, and he reached out without thinking to try and pull her hands away from his face. "What did I do? Whatever it is I'll fuckin' fix it, I swear, you don't have to do somethin' like this."

backtagging like a boss

Feferi stiffened when Eridan reached out and grabbed her wrists, and she resisted his grip for a moment before letting her hands fall and looking up at him. "Eridan, stop! This isn't the end of the world! I'm not saying we can never be friends again, or even that we're not friends anymore!"

"You're tellin' me to go away!" He was not going to cry, and he was not going to shout, but his voice cracked awkwardly nonetheless. "You're tellin' me you don't want me to be part of your life anymore."
