Chapter 23
Aye, it's me, coming back with a shitty update! Sorry it took so long!
Now, as a warning, I'd like to warn that their is a spiked drink in this chapter. Nothing graphic happens, but I just wanted to caution that if you're uncomfortable with this subject to skip this chapter and probably the next.
~~~
The blond before you grins, lifting her cup up to her lips, taking a sip.
"I swear to god Roxy, you're going to kill me." You place your hand on your chest.
"Oops." She giggles, nudging your shoulder playfully.
You poke your tongue out before taking a drink.
You had met Roxy not that long ago. She had come along to a movie night that Dirk had with his friends. At first sight of Dirk's friends arriving, Dave fled, leaving you alone. For quite some time you just kept to your room, playing some random online games and did homework. But as you snuck out to grab something for dinner, Roxy bumped into you, dragging you to join them all.
"So," she grins, "having fun?"
"Well, I did only just get here." You shrug.
Just as Roxy was about to continue on, probably to get you to do something stupid, an arm wraps around your neck. You look over to your right to see Feferi suddenly there.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we need to go find the others," Feferi says, "They seemed to have disappeared."
"Alright, time to find Janey!" Roxy exclaims before running off.
You roll your eyes before looking back at Feferi. She just smiles over at you before you both head off. You thought it was just an excuse, but the others had run off somewhere. As you wander around you finally finish your drink and chuck your cup into a bin. You stop walking when you notice a familiar purple streak of hair. You tug at Feferi's hand; she turns to see Eridan too.
"You go get him; I'll look for the others." Feferi tells you and let's go of your hand.
You nod and make your way over to him. You frown when you notice him swaying, grasping his head. You quicken your pace, gently grabbing his arm gently. His head shoots up to look at you, his eyes barely able to stay open.
"Eridan," you try to speak over the music in a calm voice, "are you alright?"
You knew he wasn't, but you just wanted to try and get something from him.
"(Y/n), I don't feel so good." He mumbles, his head resting on your shoulder.
You begin to panic at his slurred voice, rubbing his back.
"Alright," you try to stay calm, "let's get you out of here."
Eridan nods against your shoulder. You wrap an arm around Eridan and help him out of the building. Once you get far away enough from the loud music and partiers, you pull out your phone. First you try to call Bro, but he won't pick up. So you try Dirk, you knew he didn't have a car but at least it's better than nothing. Plus he was already at the party so he'd be over quicker. You could feel your panic rising, but you had to stay calm, for his sake.
"Hello." A voice muffled by music and voices picks up.
"Dirk, you have to come outside," your voice was quick and getting louder, "it's Eridan, there's something wrong and I don't know what to do."
"Alright, alright, just give me a second and I'll be out there." He tells you and hangs up.
You shove your phone back into your pocket and look around. That's when you notice a pair or figures walking down the street towards the both of you. Just as you were about to head back in, not wanting to trust whoever was coming down the street, you bump into someone. You snap your neck up to see it was Dirk.
"I'm so sorry Dirk," you begin to blubber, "I tried to call Bro but he wouldn't pick up."
"It's alright (y/n)." Dirk calms you down.
He looks over at Eridan, who almost looked asleep on his feet.
"Shit, someone slipped something in that poor kids drink." He hisses.
You squeeze Eridan's waist tighter, "what do we do?"
"Well, let's get him to our place," Dirk says, "and then I'll call up the others."
You nod, Dirk wraps Eridan's other arm around his neck and you make your way home.
~~~
You and Dirk finally sit Eridan down on your couch, where he promptly lays down.
"I'll go tell the others about what happened," Dirk informs you, "just, try to get him to drink something and sleep."
You nod and Dirk walks off, phone in hand.
"Okay Eridan," you speak to him, "I'll grab you a glass of water and be right back."
You get up and walk out into the kitchen.
