Chapter 10:

"A carnival!"

Gamzee said a loud as he ripped a flyer from the wall of a building.

"Oh shit, it's gonna be miraculous! I-I should take Tav.."

Gamzee said to himself. He was quiet for a while, thinking of what to say to Tavros, then he pulled out his phone and dialed the boys number.

"Hey Tav."

Gamzee said as someone answered, but he went quiet when he heard the voice of an older, angrier man on the phone.

"Tavros is busy, he can't talk right now."

The man growled. Gamzee frowned.

"I needa talk to him real quick, it's urgent."

Gamzee said. The man growled, then there was shuffling on the other side. Tavros answered, and his voice was horrible, like he'd been holding back cries, his tone cracked on every word.

"Hey Steve, uh, now's not a good time."

Tavros said trying to ignore his step dad as he kissed his neck.

"Hey, Tav, will you go to the carnival with me tomorrow? I'm paying for everything okay?"

Gamzee says quickly before Tav can say anything against it. There's a hushed sound on Tav's side of the phone and it takes Gamzee a few seconds to realize it was a moan. He blushed.

"I uh- I don't think I can. I have to watch over-over Sammy."

"Come on bro, Sammy can come along...we can all just escape home for a while."

Gamzee said closing his eyes and anxiously awaited Tavros' respond. There was a long pause then,

"I'll uhm...I'll think about it."

Next Day

Tavros looked at the giant roller coaster in front of him. Behind him was Gamzee and his two twin siblings and Sammy. Tavros felt his heart beat raise.

"S-Steve! Steve look! I rode that roller coaster when I was younger!"

Tavros says turning quickly to Gamzee, Gamzee's eyes were still stuck on the roller coaster.

"T-that thing!"

Gamzee said coldly, remembering the day Tavros and him had first rode it. He was left with a horrible fear of roller coasters afterwards.

"Let's ride it!"

Tavros says. Gamzee nods. "Okay, you and Sammy go, I'll wait here with my twinbros!"

Gamzee says hurriedly. Tavros frowns.

"Hey, you guys wanna ride with me?"

Sammy asks the twins, they immediately start screaming and jumping in joy. Gamzee frowns. The frown goes away though, as soon as his hand is grabbed and he's lead to the roller coaster. He looks down at his and Tavros' hands and blushes.

"This is- this is really fun!"

Tavros says as they wait in line. Gamzee fakes his best laugh and agrees with him, then turns away and whimpers. Sammy was showing the twins some game on his phone, and they were really intrigued. They were like too balls of pure energy, bouncing and jumping in joy.

As they got closer and closer to the front of the lines Gamzee swore he was gonna piss his pants. It had been forever since he rode a roller coaster, and he wasn't too fond of the idea now.

And then it happened. Tavros handed his tickets to the man and moved up two steps of the stairs. He turned and waited for Gamzee with a large grin. Gamzee smiled back then reached in his pockets.

"Oh-oh man! Oh no! I think I dropped my tickets!"

Gamzee says holding his hands up and shrugging.

"It's okay! You can take some of ours!"

His twin brothers said handing the man four and four tickets. The man nodded, counting eight and motioned for Gamzee to hurry up and move. Gamzee took two steps up then looked down at his brother and grimaced.

"Coooooooooooome oooooooooooooooon!"

Tavros says annoyed by now. Gamzee gasps as he's pulled over to a cart. Tavros gets in then Gamzee slowly, and carefully gets in followed by a low whine.

Tavros stared dumbfounded.

"You're not scared are you?"

Tavros asked shocked. Gamzee's eyes widened. "Ah, me? Nah! I just...haven't riden one since...a long tiiiime." Gamzee said looking away from Tavros so he wouldn't see the fear in his eyes. Tavros chuckles.

"Steve, it hasn't started yet, you can get off. You don't have to ride it."

Tavros says smiling. Gamzee smiled. He didn't have to be told twice!

clink.

The metal bar stopped him. The man that had pushed it into place walked away. Gamzee stared at his lap, his lips pursed as he tried not to scream out. Tavros giggled and it caught Gamzee's attention. He looked up at the other boy with wide eyes.

"What?"

"Guess you're riding this thing huh? Unless you can get that guys attention."

Tavros says giggling. Gamzee turns around and starts screaming at the top of his lungs for the man to come let him out but he was too far away. Then, the car jolted. Gamzee spun back around and grabbed the metal bar with all his effort and readied himself. Tavros bursted out laughing at Gamzee's actions.

Then, it started up the hill, raising up until they were at the very top and Gamzee held his breath. It creaked as it slowly moved forward, and suddenly Gamzee's attention was on something else.

He looked over at Tavros in the short time span, then looked down at their hands that had intertwined.

Then they dropped. Gamzee slouched forward, his eyes shut. He bit his bottom lip as the cart jerk and jolted. He squeezed Tavros' hand tighter. Tavros sat beside him laughing, screaming, with his right hand raised.

Gamzee opened his eyes as they rose and Tavros pointed at the sky smiling. Gamzee looked up, then back over at Tavros.

"Just relax and concentration on the sky. It's like you're flying."

Tavros said removing Gamzee's hand from his own then, as he began to say something more Gamzee interrupted him by clutching his arm. Tavros giggled.

"Look."

Tavros said pointing at the sky again, and when Gamzee looked they dropped down another slope. He opened his mouth wide and started screaming, but hearing Tavros laugh as he was, he eventually joined in on the laughing himself.
