Once upon a time in another universe called Skaia there were two young men, Tavros Nitram and Gamzee Makara. They had ten other friends; Karkat, Sollux, Eridan, Equius, Nepeta, Kanaya, Vriska, Aradia, Feferi, and Terezi. But they are not relevant.

Two and a half alternant sweeps after Sollux and Aradia's failed attempt to make them play a game called S.G.R.U.B Gamzee and Tavros are now 9 alternant sweeps old. Gamzee has recently moved in with his "Tavbro" because he has got stoned at work and can't hold a job therefore not being able to pay rent. Tavros had no problem with Gamzee moving into his compartment, Tavros usually was very shy and timid but Gamzee did not pity him for being a cripple and had recently got Gamzee to go sober. Tavros felt able to express himself around Gamzee and loved to have his company, but after all these years he wanted more. He had never really been able to tell if Gamzee liked him because he is so "chill". Gamzee was truly the jelly to his peanut butter sandwich.

Gamzee was always haunted by horrifying dreams and had him up until he was sober. After he was sober Gamzee realized that his only two friends were his pies and Tavros. Now that his pies were gone he realizes that Tavros was his only "friend" that didn't belittle him or pity him. Gamzee is also glad that Tavros lives in a different bedroom in the apartment because now instead of nightmares he usually had them about Tavros, sometimes the dreams turned into wet ones so yeah…

One day Tavros had woken up and fell out of bed and onto a horn that Gamzee had left in his room. It was so high-pitched and Gog knows where it had been before. He got up and walked down the hallway and into the bathroom. He proceeded to wash his face off, he then reached for the towel to wipe his eyes off. His hands found purchase on the towel and he wiped off his eyes. He then put the towel down and looked up, there in front of him was Gamzee facing him and looking at him with wide eyes. Tavros had not even heard the shower, walked in, pulled the towel off of Gamzee's naked body, dried off, and was now looking at Gamzee in all his glory. Gamzee acted as if nothing had happened and said what's up, but when Gamzee realized what was "up" he quickly grabbed the towel and covered up. Tavros started to stutter "S-S-Sorry Gamzee I-I didn't hear the shower" Gamzee then walked past Tavros not knowing his bare arse was showing, Tavros saw this sand was frozen in place by the element of surprise.

Tavros went back to his room to get on Trollian to talk to his friends but the only person on was TerminallyCapricious so he turned off the computer and laid down. He felt really guilty for walking in on Gamzee so he went to his room and knocked, he then slightly cracked the door open to see his buddy dead asleep on the bed. He walked in and gently tapped on Gamzee's arm to wake him up; Gamzee's inanimate body grabbed his hand and pulled it closer to his face. Tavros didn't want to wake him up anymore so he kept his on Gamzee's cheek and lay down in the bed. He gently took his arm off his face and put his arm under Gamzee's, instantaneously Gamzee wrapped his arm around Tavros' waist and pulled him closer to him, this made Tavros happy even though he knows Gamzee was asleep. At that very moment a frown came across Gamzee's sleeping face. His eyes then darted open and locked onto Tavros' face. He looked confused, and then a sad smile appeared on his face as his eyes watered with indigo tears. Tavros asked "What's wrong Gamzee?"

Gamzee then proceeded to say "I had a nightmare that you had to fill a colignant bucket with me."

Tavros had a mixed expression of sad, confused, and slightly disgusted with what he said while he said "Why would you have such a dream?"

Gamzee then wiped the tears from his eyes and said with a hopeful face "Because Tavros…"

"Because what Gamzee?"

"Because it's the exact opposite of what I want, Tavros."

Tavros leaned closer to Gamzee's face and then their lips were about to touch. Tavros woke up from his vivid dream and fell out of his bed because he leaned too far. He must have fallen asleep and dreamt about the impossible. He sighed deeply then tried to get up; only resulting in further depression because he had forgot his legs were paralyzed. He laid there thinking about his wonderful yet far-fetched dream. He wanted to take his mind off things so he grabbed the nearest entertaining thing, his computer. He logged onto Trollian hoping was on because one, he wanted to talk; secondly he was stuck on the floor and couldn't get up. Sadly he was not, then it clicked, Gamzee had taken a shower because he had an interview.

"Of course" he thought, "once again I am alone and helpless, and need Gamzee."

"Wow Makara, what's up?" Gamzee thought to himself, he had just shown his light purple package to his friend and could only say "what's up". He threw on some somewhat nice clothes, left his room, closed the door behind him, and out to the hall. He creaked Tavros' door open and found him sleeping on his bed. He was worried that if something happened, he wouldn't be there to help. He had a mini debate in his mind as to if he should wake him up or leave him to sleep like the little angel he was. He didn't want to be rude so he left, got in his car, and left. Gamzee was halfway to the interview when he was consumed by guilt, called off the interview, and headed home. "I'm coming home" he said.

Tavros just sat and thought, he thought about his friends, what they have become, what he had become. Kanaya is fashion designer, Sollux is a librarian, Vriska is a poor bitch, Terezi is a judge, Equius is a mechanic, Nepeta is a match-maker, Feferi died of cuttlefish poisoning, Eridan is a gay male pros... at that moment Tavros heard the sound of keys in the door...wait that sounds more like a credit card. The door bursts open and he heard footsteps in the hallway, his door opened and in walked a blonde male.

"Who are you?!"

"I'm Dave, I'm here to fuck shit up."

"Why do you have no horns? Why are you in red pajamas?" Tavros asked nervously.

"I'm a human; we don't have horns, alternate timeline stuff that I'm not getting into. These "pajamas" are my God Tier, but that won't matter, soon they will be on the floor."

Dave then grabbed Tavros and flung him on the bed. Dave pulled Tavros' shirt off, pushed his head in a pillow, and held his hands behind his back with his hand. Dave then slipped his pants and underwear off with one swipe of his only hand that wasn't preoccupied. He rubbed his bare groin on Tavros' pants tauntingly.

"Stop it you perv!"

Dave grabbed Tavros' pants "Now let's see what's in store." He pulled Tavros' pants down.

"Get off me you arsehole!"

"Well speakin' of arseholes, look at that arse."

Tavros began to scream and sob into his pillow.

Gamzee drove for what seemed like hours. He finally pulled into the hotel he and Tavros were staying at. He walked in the lobby, up the stairs, but when he got his and Tavros' apartment the door was ajar. He quietly walked in and heard sounds coming from Tavros' room, he tip-toed to his room's door and heard soft crying, it was Tavros'. He busted open the door, nothing could prepare him for what he saw. A blonde, hornless, freak had Tavros pinned on the bed with his dick in his hand. Gamzee was overwhelmed with rage, he didn't care who he was or why he was here, he charged at him, tackled him and pinned him to the wall.

"Who are you motherfucker!?"

All that came out was choked words, for Gamzee had a death grip on him. Gamzee dropped Dave and Dave fell to the floor, he then propped himself on one knee and said "I am Da-"

Dave was cut off as Gamzee kneed him in the face so hard, Tavros heard his jaw crack. Gamzee pinned him to the ground and repeatedly beat the living hell out of Dave's face with his fists. The amount of human's changed from 1 to 0. All was quiet until a black man with wings and a snout appeared. He was holding black, blue, and orange pajamas all covered in blood. He grabbed Dave and his red pajamas, with a tilt of his hat, then disappeared. Gamzee turned to Tavros and sat on the bed. He looked at Tavros with a look of "did he...?"

Tavros broke the silence and said "No..he didn't" then sniffled. Gamzee was about to open his mouth to talk when Tavros wrapped him tightly in a warm hug. Gamzee hugged back as Tavros began to cry into his shoulder.

"Thank you" was all Tavros said. Gamzee pulled the covers over Tavros and himself and laid there, Tavros' back on his shoulder, both of them lying sideways. He wrapped his arms around Tavros and pulled him closer.

Time flew by and Tavros how Gamzee felt so he said "Gamzee, please stop poking me"

"Umm, I'm not poking you- oh sorry."

"Gamzee?"

"Yeah Tavros?"

"Why were you so quick to get rid of...him, I mean...um thanks, but you were so quick..?"

"Because Tavros, he was, well, yeah, touching you, and I know you aren't like that"

Tavros rolled over to face Gamzee; he placed his hand on Gamzee's face. He then made his move, when their lips met gently, he wanted more, it then went from a light kiss, to a full on English kissing scene. "Gamzee, are you sure I'm not "like that"?" he said in a shy yet seductive voice as he reached down and grabbed Gamzee's bulge.

"Honk" Tavros whispered in Gamzee's ear.
