So being apart from my normal JohnKat stories- gotten a request for a GamTav, normally my stories have GamTav as a side pairing but this story is all about them along with side-pairings of others. So you dont get confused on how Im putting this story, here is the full summary to guide you. This is just a filler, the action rises as the story progresses.

Summary:

Tavros Nitram is a flower boy at a local flower shop, he is one day taken out to a local restaurant by his friends and meets new ones along the way. Something comes up, which calls for him to assist in a accident. During that time he meets the injured who is no other than Gamzee Makara. Tavros was spared the details of what all went on- Thinking a new found friendship will make things better, it slowly proves otherwise. Gamzee has a dangerous past, and little does Tavros know, he is being sucked into something other than friendship. As Tavros's feelings grow addictive, things start to turn for the worse.

Tavros will be forced to make a decision.

Chapter One- Ascend

Tavros never thought he would be with anyone, and certainly he never thought he would be with… what was he, some kind of clown? Tavros recently was introduced to his friend, Karkat, who explained everything. The clown make-up wearing boy was known as Gamzee Makara. Karkat had told him of his troubles and fighting, leading to those scars on his face. He also explained that make up was used to cover it, along with something called mirthful messiahs he known of.

Tavros gently ran a hand over the scars, flinching whenever it seemed the other stirred.

~Earlier ~

"Uh… that will be ten dollars." Tavros wheeled himself over to a girl that had long black locks of hair that seemed to flow around her. She had a sun dress on, adoring matching pink flip flops and headband.

"Th—ank you Tavros, these flowers are so sweet, just like you!" Tavros blushed slightly.

"Uh.. thanks Feferi.. are these for you?" The girl giggled and tucked the flowers under her arm, while pulling out the pay, then handing it to him.

"They are for a certain dog loving someone of mine. She is so… no words can describe her! She isn't shellfish or anything like some of the guys I have been with lately." Feferi had a habit of using fish puns, but they seemed to fit her bubbly personality. Tavros sighed as he recalled her last relationship; it was with someone who switched from one personality to the next. She agreed to be friends with him, and later introduced him to a hipster that seemed to cling onto him.

He admired her braveness and confidence, he lacked that from what he has been told; but never let those people get to him.

"I better be going, sea you later!"

He waved as she left the flower shop. Tavros wheeled himself to a nearby window; the sunset was so romantic like, not to mention the surrounding flowers made that obvious enough. If only he could share this moment.

"Yo. Ring me up bro."

He turned his head to meet shades.

"Hi Dave…u-uhm... are you buying that for a lady friend?"

Dave kept his poker face, but tilted his shades down in question. Those reed eyes seemed to pierce through Tavros, he found himself stuttering more than usual.

"Eh, guess you can say that. She is one hell of a crazy-"

"Hehehe.. these smell like all sorts of colors!"

Tavros leaned over Dave to see a rather, interesting girl. He figured that was who he was buying for.

"Her name is Terezi or TZ is what I call her. She can't see, but she sure knows her way around. It's like she's got this sensitive shit going on, she can see with touch and smell along with other things." Tavros smiled in response.

"You seem to really like her."

Dave gave a slight nod before paying for the flowers. Tavros watched in amusement as Terezi ran up and started smelling- tasting the flowers. She cackled at Dave's reaction and they both left the store soon after.

"Aren't they just purr-fect! This is going on my shipping charts." Tavros turned his head to be greeted by his friend, Nepeta. She helped run the shop, along with her best friend who seemed to have a sweating problem. Tavros found him sort of friendly, once you get past the body built frame that kind of scares you at first.

She was very kind, and stood up for him whenever he got pushed around during their childhood. He found out she has a slight obsession with felines; to her clothes and to her numerous pets at home, either way, she was a good friend.

"Mhm…"

Nepeta glanced up, worry in her eyes.

"Tavros, are you alright? You seem down today- wait I know what can cheer you up! Fur real! Feferi invited us to the restaurant tonight! It's not that crowed, so we can hang out there, what do you think Tavros?"

Tavros didn't get to reply before he was dragged out of the shop, leaving Nepeta's friend to close it down.

They reached the restaurant, Aquarius. Tavros gaped in awe as he watched the numerous fish swim above and beside him. It was undersea themed. Nepeta guided Tavros over to the far end of the place, where four people had been sitting, chatting time away.

They were all dressed formally; being this seemed to be a special night. Tavros noted some of his friends along with others he hasn't met before, were sitting there. Sollux was the first to look up along with Feferi and called them over.

"Glub! Glad you could make it!" Feferi scooted over to make room, and made sure to push a certain hipster to the floor in the process.

"Wwhat the fuck Fef?"

"Eridan I told you not to sit close to the edge, sea what happens?"

"I wwas not! You fuckin' pushed me!" Tavros giggled. Eridan Ampora, he heard about him before, being he was with Sollux. Tavros never understood their relationship, because they seemed to always fight, then leave at odd times. Feferi assured him they were 'working things out' and they would be fine.

"Eridan you're tho thtupid…" Sollux ducked as a plate was hurled his way, Sollux grinned when he saw the furious expression of the boy's face.

"You fuckin' lowwblood…"

Dave interrupted.

"Yo, it's cool and all how you two have this love hate thing going on, but I'm hungry and I would like to keep my food. So you ladies shut up and sit down."

They both were about to protest on who started what, when two new people had joined their table.

"Jade! John!" Feferi called their names, and ran to hug the girl, to kiss her on the cheek, then over to John for a friendly greeting.

"So that's Fef's girlfriend?" Dave and Sollux both nudged Eridan in the side, earning a 'nyeh' in return.

"Guys this is Tavros, he is the guest of honor tonight!" John and Jade both waved as they took their seats.

"So John bro, you get laid yet?" Jade turn to glare at Dave, while poor John gasped for air, after choking on his water.

"D-Dave! Did you have to bring this up in front of everyone?!"

The cool kid shrugged.

"What about that.. VantASS kid you're talking to. Haven't you screwed him yet, or are you still on about that homosexual thing. Man, you gotta lay off on that." Tavros didn't think John's face could go any redder, but it did. Jade kindly made Dave shut up, by pouring a glass of water over his head, following a polite 'you need to cool down'.

After everyone had their fill of fighting and laughter, they had ordered food. Tavros enjoyed everyone's company.

A loud dinging sounded off during one of Eridan and Sollux's pestering. Dave was opening his mouth to say something but got shot down by Jade's glare. Her gaze softened as she met Feferi's.

"Uh... John is everything okay?" John looked up and nodded, a toothy grin plastered on his face.

"Just…a friend of mine."

Dave coughed into his hand, and uttered something along the lines of 'fucking lie' and 'screw him already' before being kneed under the table. That was the first time Dave showed any emotion, that emotion being pain shooting through his left kneecap. Dave cursed high heels before laying his head on the table in defeat.

"Guys I got to go, Karkat is in trouble… His friend got into a fight and he needs help doctoring him. He's freaking out about this." Everyone turned their head towards his direction as he spoke.

Nepeta offered to help along with Dave, being he didn't want to be alone with a bunch of girls. Eridan and Sollux seemed to disappear during all of that. Tavros shrugged it off being they were working out their differences.

Dave drove up to an apartment; it seemed to be decent apart for its size. Tavros was told it was quite small inside, but still cozy from what John had spent time in there. Dave took this opportunity to crack another joke.

It was about five minutes climbing stairs, before they reached a door. It was on the second floor, so it wasn't that long of a climb. Tavros had to be carried on Dave's back due to his lack of legs, while Nepeta agreed to carry his chair. John briefly knocked on the door before a black messy haired teen opened it. His skin was pale, and the dark tint under his eyes seemed like he barely got any sleep, besides that, he was very attractive looking.

"Fucking about time you assholes got here! Get the fuck inside." Karkat ran back towards the couch, where a beaten up man laid. The wounds weren't that bad, just a few scars across his face, that still tried to seep fresh blood. A bloody nose, that also seemed to slow down.

"What the fuck happened." Dave looked over the man before taking a seat on the other couch.

"How the fuck should I know?! I was fucking talking to John before I got a text saying the asshole was in trouble. He had the scars before, but they recently opened up again along with a new fucking injury."

Dave cut in.

"Talking to John? Are you sure you guys weren't getting it on." John's face went red again, while Karkat's dusted a light shade before he lunged towards Dave.

"THE FUCK ARE YOU IMPLYING STRIDER?! I'LL BREAK YOUR NECK SHITSTAIN!" Dave dodged countless books that were thrown and absconded out the door, followed by a seething teenager.

Nepeta quickly ran after them along with John, before asking Tavros if he was okay being alone with the injured one. Tavros nodded and watched as Nepeta quickly ran out the door, closing it behind her.

~Present Time~

Gamzee started to stir slightly.

Tavros yanked back his hand, and tucked it away in his lap. He didn't want the guy thinking he was a threat when he woke up, Tavros couldn't fight. He watched as the man slowly opened his eyes, deep indigo looking around before blinking to adjust to the light.

"Mother fucking brightness… " Tavros found himself attracted to that voice; it was deep, but not too deep. He listened quietly to the low grumbles that followed, before the gaze landed on him.

"Where am I wicked hair bro?" Tavros blinked in confusion before touching his hand to his hair, he must have liked the style. It wasn't much compared to Gamzee's. Gamzee's seemed to be a mane of black hair, untamed but attractive.

"Uh... you're in Karkat's apartment…you gotten into a fight and he brought you here. He isn't here right now, because he is chasing one of my friends, Dave." Gamzee's gaze seemed to harden at that name.

"Mother fucking Strider? That mother fucker better watch out, my bro will kick his ass." Gamzee's gaze softened as he sensed the fear in Tavros.

"Sorry…anyways, what's all up with you?"

Tavros blinked and gave a questioning shrug.

"I meant, what's your name?"

"T-Tavros Nitram…."

Gamzee let a lazy smile grace his features before offering a hand. Tavros reached out and shook it before smiling.

"The name is Gamzee Makara."

This was going to be some friendship, Tavros could feel it.

There is chapter one, hm.. might do about five chapters not sure yet; depends on how the story follows along. Let me know if you would like anything put into this story, since this is the first GamTav.

Thanks!

The next update follows the routine of my JohnKat series, but a day before. So in other words the update is in 5 days.
