Chapter 2:

Day 2

We were all inside, eating dinner around the table, laughing, hitting each other, getting hit and simply spending quality family time together. After I had dropped Tavros off I talked to my dad about inviting Kurloz, Rufioh, Tavros, and his dad over. He was against it at first until I finally got to him with so much pleading. I looked over at Tavros, smiled then reached under the table and reached for his hand. He pulled it away. He looked at me and frowned. "Just because you're moving it doesn't mean we can start over. You know what you did." "Moving?" Kurloz leaned over placing his chin on his hand. "Gamzee, you're moving?" I felt my face go pale. Everyone was watching me, making me shrink in my chair.

"About fucking time huh, Nitam?" My dad said and turned to Tavros' dad. The younger male shrugged, a soft smile on his lips. "Where are you going son?" My dad questioned me with doubt in his eyes. I shrunk even more in my seat and looked over at Tavros. He had been staring at me with a baffled expression.

"Gamzee...I thought you said your dad was being forced to move away?" I looked down at the plate of food. I could've sworn those potatoes were almost as smashed as my happiness. When I looked up both Tavros and my dad glaring at me.

"What're you trying to say? I'm too poor to pay my rent? I did something to get us kicked out?" My dad said tapping his fingertips against the wood of the table. "What's your point Gamzee?" I looked over at Tavros who had spit that sentence out like poisen. Kurloz slammed his hand down, his palm smacking flat against the surface, causing a loud sound.

"Don't pick on my cousin. He probably got his story mixed up. It could happen to anyone. Stop making him feel so bad." I looked at the fourteen year old smiling ear to ear then down at his hand as it covered mine.

"Gamzee has a reason behind every thing he does, right Gamzee?" I was quiet before I shrugged softly. "I'll be in my room. Good night." I mutter standing from my seat.

"Gamzee, come on, don't be like that, you know we love you, it's okay!" Kurloz pleaded leaning across the table to grab my arm. I moved away and dodged his feeble attempt. "Gamzee, go ahead and sit down, I'm sure your father didn't mean to upset you like he did." Mr. Nitram said with a smile, he pointed at my chair. I shook my head kindly and climbed the stairs to my room.


"Gamzee..." I looked up from my covers towards my door. He knocked softly against the white paint on my bedroom door. I sat up slowly, wiped my tears then stood and walked to the door. When I opened it he fell into my arms. His hand was raised as if he were about to knock. "Gamzee...I'm sorry.." Tavros whispers pushing away. I shrugged, moved aside, let him in then shut my door, locking it from habit.

"I uhm...had a great time today...reminds me just how sweet you are..." Tavros whispered loud enough for me to hear. I turned red, he looked up then back down at his scarf he was fumbling with. "Gamzee...if you weren't going to move away...why'd you say that?" I looked down at my shoes in thought of some excuse, I knew he wouldn't believe me if I told him the truth.

"I just want us...to think of this week as our last...what would you do with me if this was our last?" I asked. He patted the mattress beside him and I sat down immediately. Unexpectedly his hands were on both my cheeks, his finger tips hiding inside my curly, poofy hair and his slightly long nails tickling the back of my ears. He leaned closer, our noses touching. "I'd wanna kiss you...but...in a meaningful manner." My chest tightened. He leaned in and kissed my lips gingerly. I reached up slowly and placed my hands over his. He leaned back as I did so and closed his eyes.

"I'd...I'd want to tell you I love you so much, with every inch of my beating heart every chance I'd get of those seven last days." He leaned forward and kissed down the trail of the tear that had slipped my eye unknowingly. "Then...then tell me Tav.." I pressed my forehead against his and closed my eyes. "Tell me Tav...every single day. I'll show you every day okay?" He wrapped his arms around my shoulders pressed his lips to my forehead. "I'm sorry Gamzee." He whispered. I leaned back reluctantly and gripped his shoulder.

"Tav..you don't have anything to be sorry about. It's all my fault. I should've loved you more. I should've told you every day, showed you every day, I should've meant it every day Tav...I never meant to hurt you like I did babe."

Tavros stood. He let my hand slip from his and he stared down at me with tearful eyes. "I don't wanna see you cry Tav...please...please don't cry." I begged. He took a step back as I stood, tears began to fall and he covered his mouth.

"I'll see you in eight days." He cried. My shoulders sagged. "Tav-" "Good night Gamzee." He cut me off and hurried out of my room.
