*Hello, guys it's me again, please don't kill me for my OOC with Kanaya and Tavros's relationship. I really think the two would be great morails personality–wise even though they don't interact too much in Homestuck. Also to switch things up a little, this chapter will deal mostly with Gamzee's feelings! Okay, begin the story-telling :]*

Meeting an Old Friend: Crashes and Crushes

Gamzee awakes feeling another warm body nestled close to him and realizes both he and the person next to him have no clothing whatsoever. Gamzee, recollecting the events involving the small boy sleeping soundly against his chest, smiled and slowly begins disentangling himself from Tavros. The young man, now viewing the clock for the first time, realizes the two had slept into mid-afternoon.

"Taaaavbro, waaaake uuup," Gamzee says in a sing-song voice, "it's, like, two in the afternoon." Slowly, Gamzee shakes Tavros until the younger boy's eyes opens.

"Hey, uh, Gamz," Tavros stutters quietly, "did that, uh, really happen?" Gamzee nods his head and picks up his young lover. "Uh, Gamzee what are you-" Tavros squeaks before being hushed by the taller boy.

"We motherfucking need to up and start a new day," Gamzee states grinning uncontrollably. He always wanted to date Tavros, but the he never seemed interested. Gamzee attempted everything to get the little orange-eyed miracle to notice him. Eventually, he gave up at the beginning of high-school and, later began doing drugs which removed any chance of attracting the shy boy. Gamzee knew Tavros hated the drugs, but Gamzee's life became so stressful he, no matter how hard he tried, couldn't give it up.

"But, uh, Gamz what are we? Like, uh, are we just, um, friends or um boyfriends...?" Tavros asks expectedly, looking up at the bigger boy carrying him. Gamzee stops in his track, now realizing that little detail never came up.

"Motherfucker, It would be motherfucking miraculous to be your boyfriend," Gamzee replies softly, kissing the boys lips, "now, let's get all cleaned up. Tavros grins broadly and lets Gamzee carry him to the shower. The older boy let's his Tavbro down in the shower and turns the water on, causing the bathroom to steadily fill with steam. Gamzee notices the other boy reaching for soap, and quickly snatches it giving him a playful smile. He then proceeds to open the bottle and squeezes out a fair amount. Tavros stares at the older boy, who now moves closer, in bewilderment. Gamzee surprises the other boy by placing his now soaped hands onto his chest and begins massaging the soap into Tavros's skin. Gamzee allows his hands to wander down the boy's small frame and slowly bends down, rubbing Tavros's thigh. Tavros begins moaning from the older boy's touch. Distracted by Gamzee's wandering hands, Tavros fails to realize Gamzee's head closing in on his midsection.

"Gamzee! Ugh!" Tavros groans loudly, as he grabs the shampoo. Gamzee watches as his boyfriend squeezes out the shampoo and begins dragging his hands through Gamzee's hair. Gamzee goes down on Tavros, causing the boy to start breathing heavily and moans quietly. "Gam, I think I'm gonna-uh-," Tavros exhales. Gamzee begins picking up the pace and hollowing his cheeks, causing the other boy to groan loudly. His efforts are quickly rewarded and an appreciative Tavros moves to return the favor.

However, right then Rufioh bangs on the door of Tavros's room, which they can hear from the bathroom, "Hurry up, we need to talk." Detecting the frustration in the man's voice, Gamzee and Tavros quickly wash up to see what's wrong. Gamzee grabs his clothes off the ground and puts them on quickly and Tavros throws on a black tee-shirt joined with a gray button-up, and gray jeans. The two boys walk downstairs to see why Rufioh seems irritated.

"Boys, come in here," Rufioh yells from the kitchen. The nervous boys slowly creep into the room, only to receive stern looks from Tavros's guardian. "Now we need to discuss something; what were you doing last night?" Rufioh asks sharply, "Gamzee. What were you doing with my little brother?" Gamzee looks down at the ground and gulps rather loudly.

"Rufioh, Gamz and I were, uh-" Tavros begins.

"No! Let Gamzee explain what happened," Rufioh shouts interrupting his younger brother. Gamzee respects Rufioh for taking care of Tavros, and never caused the older Nitram grief before so he felt incredibly uncomfortable with the current conversation. Rufioh arches his eyebrow expectantly and waits for Gamzee to say something.

"Well, Rufioh, Tavros and I are motherfucking boyfriends now," Gamzee confesses, looking down as Rufioh gestures for the older boy to continue, "and, uh, I, uh, I mean we, kind of, went and-" Gamzee states before glancing up and noticing the suppressed laughter of his boyfriend and Rufioh's amused look. "You motherfuckers are screwing with me!" the embarrassed boy exclaims, initiating hysterical laughter from the Nitram brothers.

"Okay, okay, time to be serious," Rufioh states, rubbing away tears from his eyes, "I am perfectly fine with you two being together. I just needed you guys to know that I accept you guys. However, what are we going to do about your father Gamzee? "

"I don't motherfucking care, if he finds out, too bad. Otherwise, I don't give a motherfucking damn," Gamzee states bluntly, "Dad probably won't motherfucking care, his boss doesn't find homosexuality wrong so it won't motherfucking matter to him." Rufioh nods and grabs the two boys bringing them to the car.

"Uh, Rufioh, where, are we, uh, going?" Tavros asks, perplexed.

"Your friends, Karkat and Terezi, wanted to talk to you guys," Rufioh states. The three of them climb into Rufioh's car, Tavros and Gamzee slipping into the back seat.

"Uh, Gamz, uh, is okay, if I, uh, tell everyone we're together?" Tavros, questions quietly. Gamzee looks at the boy and smils, ruffling the hair of his mohawk.

"Tavbro, I don't motherfucking care who you tell. Actually, I do motherfucking care. Tell everyone and maybe that motherfucking blue bitch will shut her motherfucking mouth," Gamzee states, referring to Vriska. The girl always seems to enjoy teasing Tavros for everything, and tries ruining school for the teen. The boy seems to take it well, but Gamzee can't stand her stuck up attitude and Kanaya's relationship remains the only reason he doesn't shut her up himself. Gamzee smiles at the idea of silencing the girl, and from the amused expression on Tavros's face, he agrees.

As the car pulls into the driveway of Gamzee's other best friend, Karkat. Rufioh tells them he will return to pick the two boys up later. As they walk towards the house, Gamzee wraps his arms around Tavros and the younger boy settles into the other's side. As they enter Karkat's house they unexpectedly find all of their friends gathered here.

"Well, well, well," Terezi says in her raspy voice, "looks like the love birds finally figured it out."

"It sure took long enough for you stupid fuckasses to fucking get together,' Karkat adds loudly. The two suddenly realizes the reason Kanaya knew they liked each other; apparently everyone did. "So, because you idiotic fucks finally discovered the blatantly obvious, completely clear, infatuation any eleven year could see, we decided we needed to celebrate. Well, at least the rest of these fucking idiots did, I don't give a damn about your pathetic fucking attempt at romance."

"Anyway," Kanaya interrupted, "we bought tickets to fancy hotel to celebrate. Therefore, I suggest that after the festivities, you two pack up. We leave in two days," Gamzee and Tavros, clearly stunned by their friends, only smiled and nodded enthusiastically. Tavros then ran around and thanked everyone profusely. However, Gamzee went up to talk to his friend, Karkat.

"Thank you, motherfucker, you're the mother fucking best friend a guy could motherfucking have," Gamzee says obnoxiously while wrapping his short friend in a hug.

"Let go of me, you fuckass, it was mostly Kanaya and Terezi's idea," Karkat grumbles, not convincing anyone.

The rest of the night went by quickly. Gamzee felt happier than he had in years, and enjoyed the party. However halfway through the party, Sollux brought out some alcohol, which he, Gamzee, Terezi drank, with a little help from Tavros. By the end of the party Gamzee got so stoned, he passed out, and Tavros half carried him into an angry Rufioh's car.

"Are you fucking kidding me Tavros," Rufioh shouts, "you let Gamzee drink half a bottle of whiskey by himself!" Rufioh continued down the road, fuming and yelling at his little brother. The now drunk boy just got out of rehab!

"When we get back you are so grounded and you are not going on the vacation!" Tavros looks up at his brother in shock.

"B-but Rufioh!" Tavros retorts, utterly stunned by his brother. Tavros never saw Rufioh in such a state. Usually, Rufioh keeps a calm head about everything and accepts people no matter what.

"No, buts! You are not going, period," Rufioh states with a definite tone of finality. Tavros, uncharacteristically upset with his older brother, grits his teeth in frustration. Clenching his hands into tight fists, he stares down Rufioh with an angry glare. Gamzee put a hand on Tavros's shoulder, but this does nothing to calm the him.

"You can't tell me what to do. You're not my father!" the teen shouts angrily at his brother, too angry to care about what he says. Rufioh turns around quickly in his seat, anger in his eyes, knowing his brother intentionally hit a soft spot.

"What did you just-" Rufioh begins before being drowned out by the screeches of metal. Tavros watches as an eighteen-wheeler crashes into the driver side, directly into his older brother driver's seat. The whole entire car begins to compress and suddenly the car jerks, sending an unfastened Tavros headfirst through his window. The teen flies out through the window and collides into a thick oak tree. His vision fades as he lies on the ground, bent at awkward angles.

*I don't have much to say this time around... But thank you so much for reading, as always :]*
