Second to last chapter? WOoooOw this took a long time to write to an acceptable measure i just felt so much like bleh.
That had been several days ago and you had gone through the entire book, looking at tall the pictures, there was none with your mother in them and you still had a suspicion that your siblings had something to with that. You sighed and shut the book, shoving it off your lap and standing up. You still wore pajamas and you slunk into the kitchen to find something to eat, and you jumped in surprise when you rounded the corner and saw Dave and Bro sitting at the table, Roxy and rose stood bickering at the stove as Roxy cooked. All conversation stopped when you entered the room, and you tried not to let the pent up aggression and anger that welled inside you into your voice.
"wow, it's surprising to see anyone here, it's been a ghost town" you forced a bitter laugh and sat down. The air in the room had gone pretty tense and Rose came and sat down beside you.
"Sorry Feferi, I hope we didn't disturb you very much. we hadn't been back very long and thought you were asleep" she smiled at you and Bro shifted in seat a little uncomfortably.
"So, where have all of you been running off too, at first at least someone stayed behind to hang out with me" you huffed, trying to blink back the tears that threatened to appear. You felt silly for getting angry, you knew they all had their own lives, but you thought you were a part of that now. Dave opened his mouth and you shoved back from the table, walking back to your and dave's room you grabbed a backpack. Dave followed you and stood in the doorway as you shoved clothes into the backpack, the tears overflowing and began running down your face.
"Fef, what are you doing?" he asked, walking over and trying to take the backpack from you.
"I don't think I am that bad to hang out with, but if I knew agreeing to live here meant i would be alone most of the time, I would have just moved in with Karkat or Kanaya." you said, tears making your voice waver as you tried to aggressively zip the pack up.
"Fef, will you just listen please" he said, backing up so he was in the doorway.
"Dave, move. I'll be back, i'm just gonna spend some time at Kanaya's. I haven't seen Porrim in a long time anyway" you said, trying to shove past him. He stopped you and you smacked and his chest until he moved, the rest of your family watched as you walked to the door. Roxy followed you outside and stopped you, pulling you into a hug. You broke down and started full out sobbing on Roxy's shoulder.
"I didn't want any of this" you said through sobs, she rubbed your back until your sobs had turned into hiccups. planting a kiss on your forehead, she leaned you against the wall. opening the apartment door and leaned in
"Send the signal, ready or not it's tum"
"time" she corrected herself. you could hear the mutual grumbling from inside and you pulled Roxy outside.
"Rox, what are you talking about?" your only answer was roxy brandishing from her purse was a pink blindfold. You shook your head and pushed it away, but you caved when Roxy gave you the puppy eyes. it really was hard to say no to Roxy. you turned around and let Roxy tie the cloth around your eyes. She led you down and helped you into the car, sliding in beside you, you were soon joined by the Rose, Dave and Bro. Everyone was silent as Bro started the car and started driving. several minutes passed before you fidgeted in your seat
"Where are we going?" you said, reaching up to tug at the blindfold. Roxy's hand clasped your wrist and brought it away
"You'll see" she whispered. Your answer was cut off by Dave's phone ringing, when he answered it you could hear Sollux shouting on the other side.
"Now?!" he shouted, and you could Eridan in the background trying to calm him down.
"yeah, change of plans, now" Dave said and hung up on the shouting man. another twenty minutes passed before the car stopped and turned off, Dave opened your door for you and helped you out of the car. the breeze felt chilly on your skin when you remember you're still in your pajamas, he talked softly to you as he walked you to a spot. Stopping you, he whispered that Eridan was beside you. You reached out until you felt Eridan's shirt, him jumping under the sudden touch. His hand clasped at yours and you twined your fingers together as Dave walked away. You heard other voices chatter as another car pulled up. You turned in Eridan's direction
"what's going on?" you whispered to him,
"you'll see Fef, you're gonna love, I just don't see why I have to be blindfolded too." he huffed, you used your free hand to reach up and sure enough, there was a bind of fabric across his face. you giggled and patted his head, the noise he made making you giggle more. Bro's voice cut off your laugh.
"y'all can take the blindfolds off" both of you using your free hand, you yanked the blindfold off to see that you stood in a patch of woods. You were surprised to see how many of your friends where here. All of your friends where here, including Porrim, Kurloz, Meulin, Latula and Mituna, and even Gamzee had shown up, he stood in the back of the crowd, attached at the hand by a girl with white hair. You assumed she was the girl Roxy talked about, Calliope, you're pretty sure was her name. The group stood in front of a huge sheet strung from trees, Eridan smiled huge at you and squeezed your hand. You noticed Cronus holding a video camera at you and Eridan, and with a glance over your shoulder, you seen two more cameras set up on tripods. Dave walked forward from the group until he was fairly close to you. He stopped and smiled, before clearing his throat and taking off his shades. You felt your stomach do flips, you had only seen his eyes two or three times since the party that brought you two together, and the color always took your breath away.
"Feferi, We haven't really been in each other's life that long, but i couldn't imagine life without you now that you are in it, and I know i haven't been around lately, but I promise you're gonna love why. So before I become a complete dork, I just have one question" You laughed as he pulled a pokeball out of his pocket, and you honestly started to cry when he dropped down to one knee.
"Feferi, will you, please, make me the happiest being in existence and marry me?" you squeezed Eridans hand and before you could answer, Sollux had approached from the background and had stepped over Dave until he was standing in front of you and Eridan.
"That, Dave, was terrible, lemme show you how it's down" Sollux lisped before turning and taking a knee, turning towards Eridan.
"So fishface, we've been together for a ridiculous amount of time, I've wanted to do this for a while, but didn't really know how. So, what do you say ED, will you build blanket forts with me and tell me weird stories at two am, oh and will you marry me?" Sollux said, and Eridan was full on sobbing. You smiled and hugged him, and he tacked Sollux and screamed yes, crying on his boyfriends shoulder. Sollux pulled out a box and opened it, and inside sat a ring with three gems. the two outside gems red and blue, and the inside jewel a deep purple. He slid it onto Eridan's finger and they sat there on the ground, crying a kissing before Dave waggled the pokeball in your direction. You covered your mouth with your hands and nodded, letting him slid the ring on your hand. You pulled him up and kissed him hard.
"I love you Dave"
"I love you too Feferi"
