*I love this pairing, I love it sooo much! I'm a Gamzee cosplayer and R. so if you're an Equius, support this pairing, and want to chat please talk to me!*

After ensuring Gamzee's safety and health Equius picked up where the younger troll left off, carefully placing everything into the bag before putting the messenger bag style strap over his shoulder and picking up the other troll. He carried Gamzee down the stairs to the main room where a few were still chatting idly. They silenced themselves to better observe the strange situation before them. Equius began to sweat nervously when Gamzee tried to curl in tighter toward the warmth. Karkat had to put his hands over his mouth to keep from laughing. "Mudblood, thank you for inviting me but I believe it is time for us to take out leave" "uh, okay… Goodbye and take care."

Once Equius reached his hive he went ahead and put Gamzee in the spare recoupracoon. He went to his desk and sat down with his husktop. "Equius!" the troll shot out of his chair and ran to the other. 'dear Gog' Gamzee tossed and turned in the sopor. He clawed at his arms, crying, and screaming. Equius reached into the slime after the smaller troll, accidentally falling into the sopor in the process. Equius put his hand on Gamzee's shoulder to shake him awake but stopped, Gamzee was calm again. He tilted his head to the side in confusion. Gamzee was still asleep, wasn't he? Equius tensed as the smaller troll wrapped his arms around his upper arm and cuddled against him. That's when it hit him. The presence of another troll kept him calm in sleep. Equius smiled at the other's portrayed innocence. He was truly adorable. 'I suppose I could stay for a while' Equius closed his eyes and fell asleep.
