When Karkat spoke, Eridan had winced slightly. He hadn't brought it up to be some dig at Karkat, he was merely stating a fact. But it was obvious that it was sore, hell it was obvious before Karkat had even said anything. So fuck, there he was making mistakes again.
When Karkat said his name, Eridan had looked straight at him. Maybe he should have expected that punch, maybe he should have ducked, stepped away, did something instead of stare as that smaller blob took a different shape, it's weird blurry limb drawing back and then extending, laying a strong punch where Sollux had minutes ago. A surprised and pained noise escaped Eridan as the fist connected, causing the Aquarius to stumble back and hold his nose--which was now bleeding.
"FUCK!"
It really was all he could say for the moment. As much as he was pissed off by the assault, as much as he wanted to just tackle Karkat back and give him a one-two punch, he was grateful for it. Had they parted ways and Karkat not lay a single hand on him--it would have eaten him up inside. He peered between his fingers when Karkat spoke again, a certain hesitance about him as he listens.
He actually lowered himself to look for the halves of his glasses before answering, not looking up at Karkat at all. Searching for black forms against the green grass.
"I understand Kar, I meant it when I said what I did. I won't fuck up again. I hate you more than anythin' this world or our world or--hell anythin' paradox space as to fuckin' offer--okay? Again, I fuckin' promise, no more fuck ups." He sounded sincere, if not aggravated. He hated repeating himself and he thought he had made himself clear enough the first time, but at the same time... He did understand where Karkat was coming from.
His expression lightened though, when he finds the halves of his glasses--sure he couldn't do anything about them now, but at least he had found them.
Sollux huffed slightly. He didn't mean to keep arguing- or maybe he did. It was just so easy to do with Eridan, but he didn't want to upset Karkat anymore then he sounded already. He was the one who was going to have to go back to the hive with him, he didn't need him being grumpier then usual. Though that was probably inevitable.
"Yeah, whatever."
He would have to make more of an effort in avoiding Eridan, or at least not antagonizing fights from him unintentionally.
Eridan had merely nodded to what Karkat had to say. He knew he wasn't going to have another chance after this--Karkat didn't have to remind him, god. But that wasn't even the worst of it, when Karkat came back over and swatted his glasses from his hands, he silently cursed at the other. Thinking Kar was just being an inconveniencing asshole--but no.
Oh no. He was being a megadouchebag. Eridan couldn't see what he was doing exactly--him being extremely far-sighted was starting to really fucking bother him at this point--but he could hear it. The breaking of his glasses, those stomps on the lenses and whatever hope he had to actually see his way home was now utterly crushed, much like his poor glasses.
"Kar you fuckin' asshole! I know you're an irredeemable fuckin' prick, but how the fuck am I suppose to return to my hiwe now!?" He knew he shouldn't even bother asking, because chances were he'd get some smart ass reply about how it wasn't Karkat's problem. Not to mention, he wanted him to get going? Going where? Like he knew which direction he needed to go! Eridan was shaking with anger by this point and if he could really see what he was doing, he'd probably deck Karkat in his stupid smug mouth.
Standing back up, he's glaring at the blur he thinks is Karkat.
"And go where? I hawen't a fuckin' clue where to ewen start now you fuckin' skyhorseass!"
Sollux wasn't sure what had happened at first. He had a very obvious guess that Karkat had broke Eridan's glasses, but it wasn't until he heard the sea troll bitching that he got confirmation. Oh that was a nasty thing to do. It was hilarious to hear though and even funnier to imagine. He wasn't the only blind one now. He couldn't help but snicker at that.
He was still keeping his mouth shut otherwise though.
Sollux glanced over to Karkat surprised that he hooked arms with him. It wasn't bad, he just was expecting him to hold his hand like he was used to. He was comfortable with it though as a second later he had fallen back into his usual slouch.
"Yeah, I had my fill of walking today anyways."
First a walk with Kanaya and then this whole thing. Yeah he was going to be good for a while. He didn't even care for walks in the first place.
