John and Dave were a big help to Tavros and even offered him a place to stay until he got a place of his own. He was hoping to stay with Gamzee after reuniting but… well you know.
"So Tavros, what even happened with you and Gamzee?" John asked as he snacked on popcorn.
Tavros hesitated. "W-well… Uh, Vriska asked me to go sailing with her.. She uh needed a-uh 'top notch crew' so I agreed. I told G-Gamzee and he seemed okay. He didn't really uh, say anything… He just… uh, nodded and asked if uh he was going too. I-I had to tell him no… Then he j-just got up and uh, walked away. I-I guess I should have umm asked Vriska?"
"Damn man. That's stupid as shit. I mean, yeah, you should have asked if your boyfriend could go but he also can't just expect you to ask." Dave put in. "I can also see why he was so damn upset. Didn't you and her have a thing?"
"Uhh, y-yeah." Tavros shrugged.
"Oh yeah, I remember that. I guess he wasn't completely out of it for getting upset… but he should have talked to you about it." John said.
Tavros sighed and nodded. He hadn't thought about that. He was just excited to be asked.
"So what are you gonna do now? Is Karkat like your Kismesis now?" John asked.
Tavros shook his head. "That's not r-really how it uh, works. I guess I could try to win Gamzee back?"
Dave sighed and stood in front of Tavros. "Tav, I'm gonna be honest with you buddy. You don't seem very sure of this. I mean, if I lost Terezi, I wouldn't be here considering fighting for her, I'd be out there, getting her back and I wouldn't stop until we're making out with our clothes off."
"Gross Dave." John chuckled.
Dave shrugged. "It's the truth man. Love isn't something you have to consider or think about. You just do what you feel is right for the other and yourself. You may fight and bitch and complain but you can't think about doing that with anybody but that one person."
Tavros nodded. "Y-you're right. I need to get Gamzee back, a-and if it means that I-uh, h-have to fight against Karkat then I will." He clentched his fists in determination.
