Being a maid is hard. It's hard and nobody understands.

Characters: [OU] Eridan Ampora, [OU] Vriska Serket, [AU] Karkat Vantas, anyone else who wants to encounter him
Setting: Residential floors
Format: Whatever you want
Summary: Eridan is doing his stupid maid job. Later, he gets eaten by a big spider.
Warnings: At least PG for swearing. Maybe higher for being eaten by a freaking spider.

Eridan hates his job. He feels he has good reason. HE shouldn't be made to clean the rooms of others. Of all those in the Tower, he least of all deserves that hateful job. Menial. As if he were no better than a lower troll. He's royal, a Prince, and yet here he is, sneaking from room to room and cleaning every fucking surface before gathering the sheets into his arms and bringing them down to dump them in the laundry room for later. He's alone. He can't stand the thought of his lusus watching him do this, even to help.

Of course, he can't always manage to choose an empty room.

Hissing between his teeth, Eridan nods fiercely down, headbutting Sollux. "Do it yourself, I brought evverythin' here already. I'm not your fuckin' servvant."

Sollux reeled a bit at the headbutt, trying to push Eridan off of him and gather his wits enough to get his powers. "I have a job! I clean the fucking pool, and you clean my rethpite block. You can't jutht wriggle out of it!"

Bracing his legs, Eridan bared his teeth at Sollux. "I can wwhen you're insistin' on fuckin' wwatchin' me demean myself. Besides, you made me spill it." He blushed, and then continued, doggedly. "Are you gonna followw me to the fuckin' bathroom and wwatch me...wwatch me refill the bucket? Is that wwhat this is about? Softcore bucketplay?"
thekidsare0kay: (fuck n0)

Sollux blushed so deeply Eridan could probably feel the heat, and quickly decided to change the subject.

"Actually I had another idea for that bucket," he said, then blinked at his own words, his mouth falling open a little as he began to stammer. "Not...not what you're thinking!"

For the brief moment that it was exactly what Eridan was thinking, his eyes went extremely wide, but he gathered himself together soon after.

"Wwwell wwhat's the idea, then? Teasin' me mercilessly as per usual, asshole, 'cause you'vve got that covvered."
thekidsare0kay: (grin)

Sollux swallowed twice before he managed to clear his throat enough to be able to talk. Then he smiled up at Eridan hopefully. "Okay, it'th a bit of a prank. I need you to take thome of my thopor thlime and do thomething with it. And it'll require you getting into thomeone'th rethpite block."

What. Eridan gave Sollux a look.

"This is pretty fuckin' vvague and sounds more than a little licentious."
thekidsare0kay: (2c0wl)

"Well, I'll tell you the thpethificth, but you have to get off me, first," Sollux said, trying to squirm out from under the sea dweller.

[identity profile] allthefeelings.livejournal.com 2011-12-03 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
Giving Sollux one last suspicious look, Eridan got off of Sollux and stood up.

Sollux got to his feet and straightened his clothing. Well, that wasn't too hard. "There'th thith girl," he said. "A human girl. She wantth me really bad. She showed up with a bucket at my front door and tried to break in to wait for me or thomething. And I told her I wathn't interethted, and bethideth that I'm taken in my caliginouth quadrant, but she wouldn't leave for ageth. I finally had to dump her in my 'coon to cool her off."

This might have been a slight exaggeration.

Whoa. That leaves Eridan feeling rather flattered. But still suspicious. "Wwhat does this havve to do wwith me? You wwant me to go and tell her off or somethin'?"
thekidsare0kay: (grin)

"No," Sollux said, and pointed to the discarded pail. "I want you to take thome of my thopor, and dump it in her trunk. I can't do it mythelf, but you have keyth to all of the rethpite blockth."

He grinned at Eridan and reached out, giving one of his fins a flick. "Pleathe?"
