"Ii had fun," Sollux walked Eridan home.
"Yeah," Eridan smiled, "I did too."
"Ii... Ii hope we can do 2omethiing el2e together 2oon?"
"Yeah. Maybe wwe can."
Eridan popped onto his tip-toes and kissed Sollux's cheek, "Bye, now."
Sollux waved and touched the spot that Eridan kissed. As soon as the door shut, Eridan broke into tears.
"I don't deservve this lovve," he picked up a familiar blade, "Wwhat if he's just playing with my heart?! I'll bet he his. Nobody could evver lovve me."
He ran the blade over his arms and sobbed horribly.
"Pain is my friend. Because nobody else is."
He stopped and picked up a larger blade.
"This is for Sollux. So he doesn't havve to put up wwith me anymore. So nobody does."
He placed the blade over his throat. His hands trembled and he took a deep breath.
"For Sol."
He retracted the blade quickly. He made sure to push as hard as he could.
His eyes widened and his heart beat quickened and it slowly.
Ever so slowly...
Stopped.
