TRIGGER WARNINGS

***
Eridan was sleeping not-so-peacefully in a chair in the library before something landed in his lap. That thing is a grumpy Terezi, crossing her arms and frowning. "Ter? Wwhat's wwrong?" He puts a gentle hand on her shoulder as she huffs. "3v3ryth1ng. K4rk4t 4nd D4v3 4r3 f1ght1ng 4nd K4rk4t tr13d m4k1ng 4 sch3dul3 for MY qu4dr4nts! 4nd Vr1sk4 th1nks w3'r3 b4ck 4s th3 Scourg3 S1st3rs. 1 st1ll don't know wh4t my qu4dr4nt 1s w1th K4rk4t, 4nd D4v3 1s not 4ny b3tt3r..." Eridan wraps his arms around Terezi's waist, pulling her into a hug. "I knoww, quadrants are confusin. You should try talkin to them. Tell them howw it makes you feel." Terezi hums, "Y34h, 1ll do th4t. L4t3r. For now, 1 just w4nn4... y43h." Terezi curls up into Eridan's lap and he finger brushes her hair until she falls asleep. He took a nap earlier, so instead, he picks up a book lying around and reads as best he can with only one hand available. Someone enters the library, and Eridan looks up from his book to shush them.
It's Rose, who nods to Eridan's pointed finger. She walks over to the desk and quietly does something in her book, past the page where Dave made Karkat draw the dicks. She tears it out as quietly as possible and holds it up for Eridan to read. 'QUIET PLEASE, SLEEPING TEREZI'. Eridan nods with a smile and Rose hangs it up on the door and leaves. Eridan keeps reading, occasionally playing with Terezi's hair to keep her asleep. Eventually, she wakes up and stands to stretch. "Th4nks 3r1d4n. You'r3 hon3stly th3 b3st mo1r41l 1 3v3r h4d." Eridan smiles and stands as well, bending down and placing a soft kiss on her forehead. "Thank you for distracting me from wwhatevver I wwas upset about in my nap. You're the best moirail I’vve had too." Terezi grins and goes to do whatever she needed to do then. Eridan wanders out too, a small smile stuck on his face.
