Gamzee was finally at the Kansas airport. He was sound asleep in one of the chairs at the airport however, and he hoped Nepeta was just a little bit behind because he was supposed to greet her. He wondered if anybody would question-
"Excuse me boy, where are your parents?" a flight attendant had asked. Wow, that was faster than he thought. Luckily, he had come up a handful of excuses and arguments to keep the attendant occupied.
"I'm waiting for my parents to get here. They're gonna get here from North Carolina." he said confidently. He smiled when the attendant asked the next expected question.
"Alright. Last name?"
"Thompson." he answered. See, Gamzee had done some research while he was at the airport, and discovered that a family by the name of Thompson was coming to the airport from North Carolina. The attendant nodded, and wished Gamzee a safe flight. After the attendant left, Gamzee chuckled to himself. He silently thanked Eridan for the lessons in politeness.
After awhile, he got bored, and hungry. All the money he had been given was gone, and nobody seemed to notice he was shivering from famine.
But suddenly, as if on cue, a light tap on the shoulder caused him to look up. A cute girl with short, black hair was standing in front of him, holding out a Faygo bottle. It took him awhile to realize that she was offering it to him. But when he did realize it, he found himself smiling.
"Thanks, sis. That's motherfuckin sweet of you to do that." Gamzee said, taking the bottle. The girl smiled.
"I just thought you looked really hungry, but I didn't have anything to eat, so I gave you this." she said. "Although, it was for someone that I was supposed to be for someone else, but he'll understand."
And then Gamzee found himself speechless. Realization that this voice was awfully familiar hit him like a wave.
"Are you... motherfuckin Nepeta?" he asked slowly.
...
Nepeta's smile had widened as she realized she had given the Faygo to the right person after all. She jumped for joy as she answered Gamzee's question.
"Yes! And you must be Gamzee! Oh my gosh it's so awesome to see you!" Nepeta said as she tackled him got the ground in a big embrace. Gamzee smiled.
"So, I must be pretty motherfuckin weird to you with all the washed up make up, huh?" he spoke in his stoner drawl. Nepeta sat up and giggled.
"No Gamzee! I don't care what you look like as long as you have a good purrsonality. Er, personality." she said. Nepeta had been trying to correct her cat talk ever since she talked to Gamzee, so he wouldn't think she was a freak. But she got so excited that she let it slip a little. However, to her surprise, Gamzee grinned.
"Aww, that was adorable Nep. Do you usually talk like a cat?" Nepeta sheepishly nodded.
"Well I think it's motherfuckin cute. You don't have to disguise it for me."
And at that moment, their hearts couldn't take the separation anymore. They embrace and passionately kissed. The moment was absolutely perfect, even if they both didn't smell all that great, and their feet ached from running so many miles. For the rest of the day, they talked and snuggled like a normal couple, not even thinking about going home.
Eventually, the police looking for Nepeta did catch up to her at the airport, and took her into their custody for the second time. But she didn't really care, because she considered her mission was complete. They also took Gamzee into their custody, but after doing a full body inspection, found that something wasn't right.
"Gamzee, do you consider your home to be safe?" he was asked as he was taken into the questioning room. Gamzee hesitantly shook his head. He didn't really want to deal with this to be honest, because he knew that afterwords he wouldn't have a place to live. But surprisingly, the police knew a lot more about his father and his other relatives than he thought.
"Gamzee, your father has been arrested multiple times for drug dealing. Did you know that?" Gamzee was astonished, and shook his head.
"He's also abused you and your brother, right?" Gamzee nodded. The man sighed.
"The home you've been living in isn't suitable for you and your brother." Gamzee looked down at the ground. He didn't want to be adopted. But the police officer surprised him yet again.
"Gamzee, you know you have an aunt in Brooklyn that you can stay with. Is that alright with you?" the police man asked. Gamzee thought about it.
"Well, what's she like?" he asked.
"She's a kind woman. She takes care of your cousins quite nicely."
"What are my cousins like?"
"The first one is kind of quiet at first, but once you get to know her, she'll open up. She's a great adeventurer, and strives to be an archeologist. Your other cousin is her older sister, but is in college, so you won't see her often." Gamzee smiled as he thought about it. He liked the sound if that.
"Sure. Sounds sweet." the police man seemed happy with Gamzee's choice, and called the police station in the west to come and get his things.
When he told Nepeta the plan for him, she was really excited.
"Brooklyn? That's two hours away from where I live Gamzee!" Gamzee was once again shocked.
"Nep! Holy Messiahs this is a motherfuckin miracle!" he shouted he brought her into a big hug. She returned the affection, and thought of how warm he was. She wanted this feeling to last for a very long time. It seemed that the both of them had found that their long journey to meet each other really was worth it.
Woah I'm finally done! Just a little note before I shut up: let me know if you want me to edit this chapter, because I'm on so much pain meds right now that I dunno if what I said makes sense. In fact, it was probably was a bad idea to write this, but whatever, I hoped you all liked it :)
