snow - eridan feferi
‘---ERIDAN! Eridan, what is that?’ Feferi shrieked, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck, burrowing deeper to shield her eyes. ‘I’m... not sure.’ He admitted slowly, distracted by the feel of Feferi clinging to him. They were huddled together in his hive, protecting themselves from the chill of winter when all of a sudden white powder began raining from the sky, covering everything it touched. ‘S-should we touch it? Is it safe?’ She whispered to him, her breath warm on his cheek, her lips so close yet so far from his. He swallowed and forced himself to focus. He had to protect her no matter what, she was everything to him. His grip tightened on his crosshair as he gave her a reassuring smiling. ‘wwhy dont wwe check it out?’ Eridan offered, holding out a hand that she accepted with hesitation. They crept to the door and opened it a crack, feeling a frigid gust of winter air. Immediately he whipped off his cape and wrapped it around her slender shoulders. She argued and declined but eventually accepted it as they stepped outside together. The white substance crunched beneath their feet, surprising them both. ‘It’s s-s-so cold!!!’ Feferi whimpered, wrapping the purple cape around her tightly. Despite the freezing temperatures Eridan still felt his heart warm at the sight of her. Her knees knocked together and he hurried to wrap an arm around her as they went out further. Curiousity taking over, she knelt to the ground and picked up a handful of fluffy cloud whiteness. ‘It melts in my hand!’ She cried with glee, watching as it turned into cold water in her palm. ‘It’s just water.’ The childish heiress giggled and made his heart beat twice as fast. He struggled to control himself as he approached her, smirking. ‘its comin from the sky you knoww and noww youre covvered in it.’ With a gentle smile he patted her cascade of charcoal hair, covered in specks of white. ‘you look like... an angel.’ He muttered, his face flushing. ‘W-wha...’ She blushed fuschia and looked away shyly. 'Oh glub you! Quit teasing me like that!'
'no fef i...' Eridan began, then stopped just as suddenly. He wasn't even scared of the wintry white rain, he had just wanted to hold her and tell her everything was going to okay. Couldn't she see the way he pined for her like a fool?
God, he was such a coward. A hopelessly flushed coward.
