Death's Coffee Shop

Death puts Feferi's tea onto the counter. He asks if Eridan is ok.

*fef holds a hand to her mouth trying hard not to laugh*

)(aving trouble t)(ere?

Embarrassed and kind of angry with himself, Eridan straightens out his clothes, trying to ignore the burning feeling on his lips and hands.

just burned myself is all happens to the best of us

*fef grins smugly*

Death blue screens.

Eridan tries to take another sip of his tea to avoid eye contact, but is painfully reminded he burnt himself not ten seconds ago and puts it back down.

*fefs grin vanishes and she looks sad*

Did t)(ose moments mean so little to you, -Eridan?

Eridan pauses, trying to find the right words, then looks away.

Death snaps out of it. He attempts to stop Eridan by saying he should at least finish his tea first.

*fefs eyes tear up*

-Eridan... I tried so )(ard to be t)(ere for you... I wanted to )(elp so bad but you just...

*fef chokes up, too emotional to continue*

*Eridan turns to face Feferi again*

*For a moment Eridan seems completely lost, with no clue what to say or do. Then he breathes deeply, recovering his resolve*

*fef has tears streaming down her cheeks and her face is a mixture of extreme sadness, regret, and anger*

Death casually steps away with his cup of tea.

*fef attempts to wipe the tears from her eyes, failing miserably*

*Fef stares at Eridan, a thought sparking in her head*

-Eridan... w)(at are you trying to say to me?

*Fef stares blankly at Eridan for a long time*

*Fef leaps out of her seat and gets right in Eridan's face*

*Fef slaps Eridan in the face. Hard*

Get out.

*There is a second where Eridan doesn't respond, and just looks at Feferi, eyes wide in shock.
When he speaks again, his tone and expression have shifted from remorseful to bitter*

i wwas goin to do that in the first place remember

*He turns around and strides toward the door*

*Fef ignores Eridan, turning away from him to look out the cafe window*

*Under the counter, she clenches her fists*
