John looked up at the crumbling apartment buildings in front of him. 'How the hell did I end up on this side of town?' he thought. He fearfully looked over his shoulders. 'Shit I better just go inside,' he thought scurrying inside the building. He flip open his phone and dialed a number.

"Yeah?" answered a gruff voice.

"Hey Gamzee. I'm here," said John.

"Alright be right down," said Gamzee hanging up before John could answer back. John sighed and put his phone in his pocket before looking around. John normally didn't hang out with the aggressive and violent troll but nobody was available and right now John really didn't want to be alone. Whenever John had a free moment his thoughts would automatically go to Dave. John shoved his hands in his pockets and looked around. 'Geez,' he thought, 'Gamzee lives in a pig sty.' The smell of stale cigarette smoke and cheap perfume hung in the air. There were various stains in the carpet and walls and every now and then a bug would scurry by. John was tempted to wait for Gamzee outside when he saw mouse run over his foot but when he thought what side of town he was on he knew he would be safer inside. "Gamzee where are you?" muttered John looking back at his phone.

"Hey John," shouted Gamzee announcing his arrival. John shoved his phone back in his pocket and smiled relieved.

"Hey Gamzee," he said giving a friendly wave. Gamzee walked up and petted John's head.

"Did you have anything planned?" asked Gamzee. John thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Just thought we could do whatever you wanted," John said.

"Whatever?" asked Gamzee with a mischievous smirk. John smiled and lightly punched Gamzee's arm.

"You know what I mean," he said. Gamzee's eyes flickered with annoyance but he smiled never less.

"I have a little business in the 801 district if you don't mind coming along with me," said Gamzee. John hesitated. 'My dad always told me to stay out of the 801 district,' he thought, 'He said it's where the gays meet to hook up.' John looked up at Gamzee's expecting face. 'Eh,' he thought, 'Just once should be fine.'

"Yeah let's go," said John smiling up at Gamzee. Gamzee snickered.

"When you stare at me with those innocent eyes I feel like you're almost seducing me," he said smirking at John.

"Eh?!" exclaimed John blushing, "N-no! I'm not I promise!" Gamzee laughed and shoved John's face.

"Whatever dude," he laughed walking outside. John trotted after Gamzee.

-Later-

"H-Hey," gasped John, "W-wait up Gamzee." Gamzee paused and casted a glance over his shoulder.

"Geez," snorted Gamzee turning around, "You're way out of shape."

"Not," gasped John in between breaths, "true... You're... just... really... fast." Gamzee snorted.

"Okay whatever dude," he said, "We're almost to the building. Just push on a little longer." John nodded and walked next to Gamzee trying his best to keep up. Gamzee stopped in front of a love hotel and looked at John. "You wait out here," he said before walking away.

"Okay," said John looking around for a place to sit. Gamzee paused and looked back at John.

"And try not to emit those sexy 'fuck me now' pheromones you've been giving out all night," Gamzee said. John flushed red.

"I have not been emitting pheromones!" he exclaimed indignantly. Gamzee snickered.

"Sure," he said before walking into the hotel. John crossed his arms indignantly like a little kid. 'Stupid Gamzee,' he thought, 'Why did I even choose to hang out with him. I should have just stayed home and made Betty Crocker ca- No, never mind Gamzee is still better than Betty Crocker.'

-30 minutes later-

John took out his phone and checked the time. 'He sure has been in there for a while,' he thought. John got up from the sidewalk and looked into the hotel lobby but saw no one except for the receptionist. He sighed and shoved his hands in his pockets.

"Hey boy," said a gruff voice, "Looks like you got stood up." John looked at a sleazy looking older man and instinctively backed up from him.

"Oh no," John said, "I'm here with a friend not a date." When he saw the older man's eyes light up, John mentally kicked himself. 'I should have told him my date said they would be here in a couple of minutes,' he thought. The older man took a couple of steps towards John.

"Why not ditch your friend and have some fun with me," he said. John backed up and realized his back was now against a wall.

"Eh heh no, no I'm fine," said John nervously, "My friend would kill me if I left." John glanced at the hotel lobby doors. 'Gamzee!' he mentally pleaded, 'Please show up NOW!'

"Well they aren't here now are they?" asked the older man closing the gap between the two. John squeezed his eyes shut and tried to get as far away from the old man as possible. "HEY!" the older man yelled and John felt his presence leave. John opened his to see Gamzee sling the older man away. Gamzee stalked over to John and roughly grabbed John's hair. He kissed John forcibly and shoved his tongue into John mouth.

"Nngh!" exclaimed John as Gamzee sucked on John's tongue and French kissed him. He pulled away and a thin stream of spit connected the two tongues then broke. Gamzee glanced over in the direction of the older man.

"He's mine," he growled. The older man held up his hands in a disarming position.

"S-sorry," he said, "I thought he was with a friend."

"If you understand, than scram," barked Gamzee. The older man nodded vigorously and ran off. John reached up and tried to get Gamzee to let go of his hair.

"Gamzee..." started John. Gamzee slammed John's head into the wall. John saw stars and whimpered.

"I told you to be careful," Gamzee scolded his friend. John opened his mouth to correct Gamzee but decided it wouldn't be smart to talk back to him. Gamzee let go of John's head and walked away from him. John stood where Gamzee left him rubbing the forming bump on his head. 'Should I follow him?' wondered John. Gamzee stopped and looked back at John. "C'mon," he said holding out his hand, "I got money to go see a movie." John smiled and nodded.

"Let's go," he said taking Gamzee's hand.
