No one's POV
It took them twenty minutes to get back to Tavros's house it wasn't that far away but Tavros kept on getting lost. Tavros slowly opened the door "D-Dad? Sorry I'm home so late.". A voice calls from the living room"That's okay Tav but you should've called" the voice (stop calling him the voice he has a name you know it's Rufio ) was forgiving and kind. The two new friends walked over to the living room Rufio was looking at a picture of himself, his wife and Tavros. Tears were running down Rufio's face he obviously missed her a lot. Tavros sits down next to him Gamzee still standing there silently."Oh dad don't cry uh, mom doesn't want you to be like this and you uh, know it." Tavros whispers to Rufio rubbing circles in his back.
"Mr. Nitram," Gamzee says softly. Rufio looks up at Gamzee almost thinking he was imagining it. He turns to Tavros " You see the kid with clown makeup too, right?" Tavros can't help but chuckle. " Yeah dad, he's real,I was wondering if he could uh,maybe stay the night, his own dad locked him out" Tavros has less of a stutter when he's with his dad so he spoke with some confidence for once. Rufio nods"So what's your name then?".
"Gamzee, and thank you for letting me all up and stay" he replies
"No problem Gamzee, so how'd you meet Tavros?"
"Well, we sorta just ran into each other" Gamzee replies with a laugh. Tavros chuckles too the events of their meeting were rather funny looking back to it.
Tavros wants to narrate now. Okay Tav take it away!
I'm Tavros Nitram and my new friend Gamzee is spending the night
This move is getting better by the minute thanks to the star of course, mom sent it to me for sure. I've already made a friend, yeah sure he's a bit odd but he seems really sweet and caring. He changed into some old clothes dad lent him before leaving to sleep although he still has his makeup on. "why do you wear all the uh, clown makeup Gamzee?" I ask in almost a whisper. He just looks down and refuses to make eye contact something is obviously wrong. I moved so I was sitting where he was, tears were starting to form in his eyes. I feel like how we were earlier except roles have been switched. Trying my best to comfort him I pull him into a hug. "hush, Gamzee it's gonna be okay, you're safe uh, here". He sniffles and looks up at me, makeup now running some I faintly see what appears to be scar marks. He's trying to smile but only ends up wrapping long arms around me and crying on my shoulder. So much for talking tonight I guess but I think it'll be okay. I nudge Gamzee "Come on, let's get you uh,cleaned up okay? I only get a whimper in response but I star getting up anyways him clinging on like his life depended on it. "Gamzee, it's okay I'm not gonna um leave you" I said softly as I lead him to the bathroom. I take off his makeup him slightly protesting but doing nothing about it. Like I saw some minutes ago he had three lines running across his puts his head down not wanting to be seen most likely. I take his face in my hands rubbing tears away.
"Do you wanna t-talk about it, Gamz?" I whispered trying not to stutter so much. He shakes his head no but that's okay I respect him for it. "Can we just mother fucking go to sleep bro?" he chokes out " Sure Gamz, follow me," I lead him to my room. " Here gamzee you can have the uh, bed, I-I really don't mind" he looks at me slightly confused I wouldn't know why." Tavbro, I can't just all up and take that from you" I return his confused look "Okay then, where ever you want is fine b-by me I uh, guess" I say slipping under the covers in my bed. He lays next to me warmth radiating from him but he's shivering anyways. I offer him another blanket fortunately he accepts. Then it's silent and I fall into a deep sleep.
Your name is Gamzee and you can't sleep.
You had just had a very long night but for some reason you can't sleep. So naturally you look around the room, there were boxes scattered around. They must have just moved here. A few posters and book nothing too special but your eyes meet something that might be. Tavros. The boy was sleeping soundly, smiling softly, so serene. You just met him that night and it wasn't the most pleasent way to meet someone, was willing to care for you when your own father locked you out. Your shivering still and unsure why, you move right next to Tavros he doesn't seem to notice. You grasp his hand, still no reaction probably for the best he stays sleeping. You lean in and kiss the top of his head and whisper" Sorry bro, you just make me feel wanted" and with that you drift off into sleep too.
