a/n: well. I haven't written a fic in forever…at least not one that I'd be willing to put on here. I recently got into Homestuck, and pb&j/Gamtav is one of my OTP's. I've been reading a ton of Gamtav fics and I rp a lot as Tavros(including a very fun Gamtav story with my rl moirail.) and I had this idea a while ago when I was heading to bed. I wrote it down in my phone and look at it every once in a while, but didn't think I'd actually write it until I started reading a ton of really cute and/or really depressing gamtav stories and I just got the overwhelming urge to actually write it out all pretty like. So yeah.

I think each chapter will take place on a different day, with them a different age each time.

Umm…I'm not Hussie, I don't own Homestuck.

As The Years Pass

Age: 5

He ran through the playground, his little legs not carrying him fast enough as he glanced behind him, his pursuer catching up to him. He climbed up a ladder on the playground, hoping to escape in it, but she just ran around to a staircase. As soon as he reached the platform, a few feet off the ground, the girl pushed him backwards, standing on the platform above him scowling as he tried to hold back his tears. She laughed and jumped down, kicking him in the shin after landing.

"What's the matter, Tavros? Did the baaaaaaaaby fall again?" She asked, hands on her hips.

His lip quivered as the tears started falling. She smirked, "Oh look, the baby's crying again."

Tavros wiped the tears from his eyes, "Vriska, stop," he begged.

Rather than stopping, she looked around, calling to the kindergarteners on the slides, "Look! Tavros fell again and now he's crying like a baby!"

"Am not!" He angrily wiped the tears away and tried to stand up, but before he could, she shoved him back down.

"Yuh-huh! You're such a baby, you can't even take a little fall, can you?" She laughed again.

"I-I can!" He said as the tears started falling again, sniffling.

"Hey sis, why not lay off the little bro for a bit?" Said a boy Tavros didn't know with the messy black curls.

"Why should I? Maybe Tavros here should learn to be stronger, and stop acting like a little baby whenever he gets hurt," she scowled at him, crossing her arms.

The boy shrugged and shoved his hands into his pockets, walking up until he was right next to her. He was a good few inches taller than her, and his black hair made his pale skin seem even lighter.

"Maybe he's just all up and scared because you're all in his face all the time," he said, looking her in the eyes, "You probably should just leave him alone."

She held her ground and glared at him, "You can't make me."

Tavros watched in silence from the ground. He had friends who tried to help him, yes, but they never actively stood up against Vriska for him. He watched in amazement as this total stranger stood against her, as the boy glanced behind Vriska. Tavros noticed and followed his eyes, seeing the playground monitor, busy watching the group of children playing on the basketball court.

Suddenly the strange boy screamed out in pain and fell to his knees, putting his hands over his crotch. The playground monitor looked over and ran toward them.

"What happened?" She asked.

The boy curled up a bit and let out a choked response, "s-she punched me."

"What?! No I didn't!" She defended herself, "Ms. C, you have to believe me!"

"Tavros, did she punch him?" Ms. C asked, and Tavros nodded silently. He didn't care that he was lying, Vriska was finally getting in trouble, even if it wasn't for hurting him.

"A-and she only did it, because I s-said she shouldn't push him over," the boy added, tears in his eyes.

"Vriska Serket," Ms. C scolded, "you know very well that violence is not allowed here. Say sorry to the boys right now."

Vriska looked down, pouting, before turning to glare at Tavros, quietly mumbling an apology to each of them. She was then taken away for a time out. Ms. C asked if he would be okay, and the boy nodded. When she asked Tavros, he nodded as well.

After Vriska and Ms. C were out of sight, the boy stood straight and held out a hand to Tavros, helping him stand up.

Tavros smiled and looked toward the ground, "uh, Thanks."

"It's no problem, little bro," the boy was a good few inches taller than Tavros, but that wasn't surprising to him. As he looked up, he found himself looking into smiling dark blue eyes, "Today's my first day, but I don't think you're in my class. I don't remember seeing you."

Tavros shook his head, "No, I'm in Ms. C's. Whose class are you in?"

"Mrs. M's. She's nice. I'm Gamzee, by the way."

Tavros smiled, "I'm Tavros."

"It's cool to meet you, Tavbro," Gamzee said, ruffling up Tavros's hair.

Tavros smiled at the nickname, "It's cool to meet you too."

a/n well this is the beginning. Expect at least three more connected chapters. That's really all I have plans for but I mean it could always change. I have no smut planned for this, yet, so that could always add an extra chapter or two. I also don't expect this to turn into a sadstuck. This fic will MOOOST likely be mostly fluff. I like fluff. It's cute.
