My friend was drawing the Capricorn linked with the Taurus sign on my arm and I was playfully saying "AAAAaaahhh! oooww!" And the title for this story popped up and I decided I would make it a story. So I am.


Chapter 1:

There was an awkward silence, though not many people were in the library to even make noise. Gamzee's indigo eyes searched Tavros for an answer to his silence. Finally Tavros spoke up.

"I uhm, I always thought that tattoo was just for fun. I mean, it looked silly, and weird, and I just...never thought that it was...well...I didn't- just-wow." Tavros says. Gamzee frowns.

"Sorry motherfucker, if you wanna break up with me, I'm totally ...cool with that." Gamzee said, but thought otherwise. Tavros sat up immediately.

"No, no! I uhm, I am not going to break up with you because you were in a gang. I mean, it's over right? You're clean as can be right?"

"Yeah bro!" Gamzee reassured Tavros. He rolled down his sleeve and curled his lips upward in a large smile.

"So uhm, I wanted to tell you something." Tavros said pulling Gamzee's hands into his own. Gamzee leaned forward and before Tavros could continue he kissed the blushing boy, nudging his head back and his rectangular glasses slid up the bridge of his nose. Tavros giggled nervously when Gamzee pulled back then cleared his throat while fixing his glasses with one hand. When he finished with his glasses Gamzee pulled his hand back into his grip.

"Well, now that we're all up in motherfucking adjusted, lay the motherfuckin truth upon this fella." Gamzee said with a crooked smile. Tavros nodded.

"Okay, well, remember how I told you my dad wouldn't be able to afford surgery for my legs?" Gamzee nodded, his smile still remaining. "Well, my dad talked to my mom, and he uh, convinced her to lend him some money." Tavros giggled. Gamzee gasped then began laughing happily.

"Shit bro! This all up n motherfuckin true!?" Gamzee asked leaning across the table and smacking his lips repeatedly against Tavros' forehead. Tavros pulls away giggling and nods.

"Yeah! I'm getting new legs by the end of this month." Tavros said cheerfully. Gamzee grabbed his book bag and slung it over his shoulder, then he rounded Tav's wheel chair.

"You wanna go out to eat?" Gamzee asked. Tavros looked over his shoulder, his caramel eyes gleaming with delight.

"I guess."

Last week of the month:

Gamzee's phone vibrated against his leg, and he took a moment to actually pull it out. It was a text message from Tavros, who he noted hadn't been to the first two classes he had with him.

Gamzee, my dad was in a car accident. I'm at the hospital, could you please come see me when you have time? He's in really bad condition.

Gamzee looked up from his phone, then back down.

I'm on my way.

He replied. He shoved his notebook into his bag and slid it onto his back, he raised his hand and asked to go to the bathroom.

As soon as he left the class room he bolted out of the school to the parking lot to find his car. He jumped inside, reved up the engine then sped off.

Once he reached the hospital he hurried inside and messaged Tavros of his arrival. The other replied with a simple Stay there. Soon the elevator doors to Gamzee's right openned and Tavros called Gamzee over.

The doors shut shortly after Gamzee got in. Tavros rolled his wheel chair over to where Gamzee was, then held his hand. Gamzee doubled over him, pressing the smaller boys head against his chest.

"Everything's gonna be fine my lovely lil miracle." Gamzee whispered into Tavros' fluffy hair. It was a light brown, fully surrounding his head, curling gently around his small ears in whisps and flipping down and out on his neck. His face was still round and his puffy cheeks were usually red. They were both Freshmen in highschool, though Gamzee had been one for two years now.

"I-if he dies-" Tavros began but Gamzee cut him off, "Don't say that Tavbabe! That ain't gonna happen!"

"But, if he dies, I'll have no other relative to go with other than with my mom." Tavros sobs, "And I haven't seen her since she left my dad and I when I was seven." Tavros continued. Gamzee frowned.

"I won't let anything bad happen to you Tavros. I promise." Gamzee said sealing his promise with a passionate kiss. Tavros kissed back immediately, his arms folding around Gamzee's back.

Things didn't turn out according to plan however. An hour after Gamzee arrived Rufioh Nitram passed. Days later Tavros packed his things and sat on his porch next to Gamzee, waiting for his mom to come pick him up. She was hours late, but to the two lovers it was fine, more time for them.
