A/N: hokay first-ish Homestuck fic. First one I'm posting anywhere, anyway. Only thing I have to say about this I think is the fact that this is kind of AU? The trolls have played Sgrub and are now stuck in the Veil, buuuuut I don't really care to write this into continuity with the story because I don't want to this shit to get really complicated with all the killings and stuff, and other things may be weird because I'm kind of aging them up in my head, etc., etc. idk, I just wanted to write a straight blackrom fic and not have to sweat over it, and I just like the idea of them being in the Veil. =I So like, just be prepared that this may not be the most structurally sound fic setting, but I hope people can enjoy it anyway. Welp, without further ado.

Eridan whipped his head away from his computer screen, looking behind him and craning his neck slightly to see the trolls on the other side of the room. For a moment he caught Sollux glancing over his shoulder back at him, but the gaze was quickly returned back to Feferi, who was standing to his right, as if there had been no one there at all. Eridan could see a small smile breaking at the corners of his mouth as Feferi spoke excitedly about something, eyes wide and bright as she laughed and giggled at whatever she was talking about.
Eridan couldn’t hear what they were saying. He could only stand there and watch, clenching his fists at his sides and feeling the skin on his palms tingle in pain as his nails dug deep into them, not paying attention, not even caring. He felt his heart drop as he suddenly wondered if Sollux had shown that pesterlog to Feferi, if she had been looking over his shoulder the entire time and laughing at him too. Eridan bit his lip, wanting to go over there, wanting to go over to that lowblooded scum and hurt him somehow, hurt him the way that he was hurting Eridan right now. But the seadweller was at a loss, wouldn’t know what to do even if he did make it over there, and his entire body felt too heavy to move anyway. So he could only watch them.
Feferi was looking at Sollux, looking at him with those amazingly bright eyes, every feature on her face radiating with pure, unadulterated optimism. Eridan used to complain about how much that boundless optimism annoyed him, but the truth was that he was envious of her positivity, and especially now felt embittered about how much more hopeful she was than the supposed “Prince of Hope” himself. Eridan wondered if Sollux noticed how her eyelids would flutter whenever she giggled, looking down sheepishly. He wondered if he noticed that whenever she heard something she liked, her gills quivered ever so slightly. He wondered if he noticed the way her fingers always fidgeted excitedly. He wondered if Sollux knew exactly how much it hurt Eridan to see her happy with someone else.
But that yellow-blooded troll. The fact that it was him made it sting even worse. The fact that the lowblooded piece of trash had the gall to ignore his advances, to block him, to laugh at his intentions. He, an inferior, treating his superior with such horrendous etiquette. And then, on top of all that, he takes her from him. He takes away the one thing that Eridan had ever held dear, his matesprit (as unrequited as it was).
Eridan felt awful. He could feel the pain of the skin of his palms threatening to break, and felt his lip already torn by his sharp teeth, tasting his own purple blood; but it still wasn’t enough to mask the pain of having Feferi ripped away from him.
Nor was that enough to mask the nagging feeling in the pit of his stomach that came whenever he looked at the yellow-blood.
He hated him. He hated that fucking lowblooded nooksniffer with every fiber of his being, hated him for everything that he was, everything he stood for, and everything he had ever done. Eridan found himself flushing purple as the feeling grew inside him, a feeling so black he could scarcely hold it in. Never before could he remember hating someone this fucking much, not even Vriska. It was so intense that Eridan thought that Sollux couldn’t possibly hate Eridan as much as Eridan loathed Sollux. And that just pissed Eridan off even more. But it was an odd feeling. It was something he didn’t quite understand, but even with so much hate, all of his fucking hate, he didn’t want Sollux dead. It wasn’t like seeing a reprehensible beast- like a whale or an angel or something -and wanting it exterminated. It was… deeper than that. The feeling was amazingly invigorating, when he thought about it. It was the kind of intense feeling that made him feel awake, alive; it made him… excited.
His fists now trembling at his side, Eridan’s focus shifted erratically from Sollux to Feferi, his feelings swinging violently from exhilarated to heartbroken as he did so.
Oh my god, this was completely emotionally exhausting. He felt as if his head would explode from the severe mood whiplash he was experiencing.
Eridan finally managed to convince his legs to move at this uncomfortable rush of feelings, and he hurried over to the transportalizer on unsteady legs, going as quickly as he could in an effort to avoid making eye contact with anyone. As he stood on the pad and waited to fizz out of sight, he kept his gaze focused on the ground. Because of this, he couldn’t see that Sollux watched him as he left, following him as he trekked across the room while Feferi prattled away, not noticing that the attention was no longer on her. Nor did Eridan see that after he transportalized, Sollux’s gaze remained locked on the empty pad for a while longer before eventually returning his attention to Feferi.
