Ever since that day, (Y/n) had tried to forget that the event had ever happened. She had tried to drown herself in video games and watching re-watching *troll Jason in Space*, but she seemed out of energy most days. 'Maybe I should get some rest....not that that's going to help...' she tiredly thought, and she knew the reason behind it. 'Even if I try to forget about him, I can't.' Sighing, (Y/n) made her way out of her block to grab something from the hunger trunk. As she slinked her way to the hunger block, she
looked around a bit, only to find Eridan in there. Honestly, she didn't know why the others disliked him so much. Yeah, he was a complete nooksucker at times, and thought that everyone was below him...but he wasn't as bad...ok that was kind of a lie.

"Hey Eridan." (Y/n) said quietly, wanting to get in and out of there as quick as possible. Eridan gave a grunt, before speaking in his slightly agitating stutter, "You knoww, that thick-skulled asshole has been a complete fuckup since the last time you talked." (Y/n) froze in place, wondering how he had know she had talked to Equius.
"Eq had told Nep, wwho told Kan, wwho told Kar...and I fuckin' knoww you understand knoww howw I knoww." He said, giving her a stern look. (Y/n) was at a loss of words, as the sea-dweller continued.

"I knoww I shouldn't be givving advvice to you, land rat, but I fuckin' wwill. To keep that swweaty vermin from breaking anymore things, I wwant you to go and fuckin' talk to him, confess you're feelings to him." With that said, Eridan left with a pep in his step. It seemed like hours, but was only minutes as (Y/n) felt like she was turning into dust. "Thanks..." she murmured, a weak smile on her lips as she made her way into the husk-top room. She didn't know why Eridan's shitty pep talk gave her a little confidence, but it would let her take the first step.

Entering the room, (Y/n) took in a deep breath and looked around for the blue-blood. Finally finding him, she flinched when she heard a loud snap of something breaking. Gulping, she slowly made her way over to him. "Equius, can I talk to you?" (Y/n) said, slightly surprised how strong her voice sounded. Equius froze in place, sweating slightly as she turned in his chair to face her. "I...suppose that would be fine."

(Y/n) breathed in, clinching her fists as she said her next words, "I'm flushed for you, and I completely understand if you don't have feeling like that for me. I know that I'm a low-blood that doesn't stand a chance, and I k-." Equius interrupted the (l-b-c) troll from her starting a rant by removing his broken glasses. "Who ever said that I don't return your feelings. I understand from our last conversation that I may have said something to upset you. Yes, I think of you as a low-blood...but as a low-blood I want to protect." It was a long silence before (Y/n) 's face broke out into a full (l-b-c) flush.

"O-Oh." she whispered, as he looked away from her. "Also...would it be alright if we...hung out tomorrow?"

The question stunned her, before a smile blossomed onto her lips. "I'd love too."
