I forgot to say sorry for any mistakes in these chapters, I haven't had time to really look ever them properly.

Chap. 19 - Gamzee: You Motherfucking Broke Davebro,, Sis?

We were waiting for Karkat and Dave. I was sitting with John, Tavros, Rose, and Kanaya in first row of bleachers by the wall. Tavros messed with the end of his gym shorts uneasily from his chair. I patted his head, "Relax, Tavbro. Everything will be chill." I knew he hated Gym, Orphaner was a dick to most people, including his kids, but he was one even more so to the less fortunate. John noticed Tavros's expression and smiled at him,

"Yeah, Tavros! We'll probably just end up doing Dodge Ball again or something, it'll be okay!"

"Um, if you guys say so…" Tavros mumbled glancing around the room, looking for our teacher. I squeezed his hand gently pulling his attention back to us,

"We're here for you, Tavbro. Orphaner can't do a fucking thing about it." He gave me a small smile and nod before looking away again,

"H-hey there's Karkat and Dave an- uh, oh…" Tavros cleared his throat and looked down. I turned to see where he had been looking, only to frown. Sure enough, Karkat and Dave were walking towards us, with Sollux, who had one of his arms wrapped around Karkat's shoulder, while Dave was sporting the stupid yellow hoodie that the genius normally wore. John grumbled from next to me, it made me feel a little better that I wasn't the only one that disliked the multicolored eyed best friend stealer.

'You could have picked a motherfucking fight with him, but nooooooooooo, you just had to all up and fucking tell Karbro you'd give him a chance. Nice fucking job, Makara. Better wipe off that frown because you know if Karbro sees you he'll rant your ear off.' I rolled my eyes at the voice and put on my "best" smile. "Hey Karbro, Davebro. Captor." I tried not to sneer his name.

John seemed to be having a hard time too, "Hey guys!" Dave took a seat by him, while Karkat and Sollux stepped over our row to sit behind us with the girls. John's usual charming smile looked forced, "Dave you know if your cold you could have just taken my jacket from my locker. Captor's coat looked so big on you," He paused and as an afterthought added, "I'm actually just now realizing just how lanky you are Captor. Must be from all the time you spend on the computer, huh?"

Sollux smirked taking his arm from around Karkat and flexing it revealing a decent amount of muscle that normally goes unnoticed. "I think I'm doing okay in the fitness area, actually, but you look like you could use some work. Eh, Egbert?"

John frowned, the girls along with Karkat and Dave snickered quietly. "Don't worry, Egderp. I think you look wonderful." Dave smirked, "You don't need mountains of muscle."

"I have muscle!" John complained. It wasn't a lie, John was fit, just not like me and not like Sollux. Right about then Jade skipped over to us, her dark brown ponytail whipping back and forth,

"Come on guys! We're supposed to go out to the track. Orphaner just sent me in to get everyone." She smiled, "Hey Karkat." She said holding out the 'r', "Would you do me a favor and yell it for the rest of the class?"

"Fuck. Fine." Karkat stood and walked to the middle of the gym, "HEY FUCKASSES! MR. ASS-FACE WANTS US ON THE TRACK NOW. SHAKE A FUCKING LEG, DIPSHITS."

"You have such a way with words, Karkles."

"Fuck you, Strider!"

I laughed quietly to myself as we stood and all made our way outside. I walked next to Tavros and luckily there was a cement ramp that went from the outside doors down to the track. Unluckily our teacher was standing at the open part of the fence that wrapped all the way around the track. When our entire class got down there he smiled at us,

"Alright you maggots! Three laps around the track!" Everyone started to groan, he yelled, "NOW! HUSTLE! HUSTLE! HUSTLE!" His yelling startled a handful of students in our class, all of whom started through the gate to get on the track to start their laps. My group of friends was the last to get through, but when Tavros tried to go through Orphaner stuck out an arm. "No chairs on the track!"

"W-what?"

"You heard me, Nitram!"

"B-b-but I, uh, I need i-it to move." Orphaner laughed shortly,

"Well to bad! Find another way to do your laps. Only sneakers are aloud out on the track."

"Are you fucking serious?!"

"That's four laps, Vantas! And another hour on your detention tonight!" He barked at Karkat who was standing on the track with John and Sollux.

"Fuck!"

"That's five."

"Why don't you just give us 10, you insufferable prick." Sollux asked crossing his arms. To my surprise John actually nodded in agreement, frowning at out teacher. Orphaner smirked,

"You want 10 you got 10, boys. Another hour in detention for you, Captor, and I'll be expecting you for an hour as well, Egbert."

"Fine." John said, "But you can't expect Tavros to do his laps without his chair! It's the only way for him to get around."

"I don't believe I asked for your opinion, Egbert." Orphaner scowled and wrote something on the clipboard in his hands, then looked back at the rest of us on the outside of the fence. "Strider! Where are your gym clothes?"

Dave shrugged, "Left 'em at home." Orphaner opened his mouth, but Dave beat him to it, "Yeah, I know. Detention. Now can you move so we can get our laps done?"

"Sass, huh? You know what, 10 laps for all of you." Orphaner seemed pleased with the unhappy expressions on our faces. One of the teachers yelled for him from up by the gym. He looked from the teacher to us, "I'll be right back, find a way to do your laps, Nitram. All 10 of them!" He stormed up the hill leaving the rest of us. Jade put a hand on Tavros's shoulder,

"Are you alright?"

Tavros looked like he was ready to cry, he sighed in frustration. "Y-Yeah, fine.. I'll, um… I'll just drag myself around the, um, track." He moved to get out of his chair, but I crouched in front of him to stop him.

"Tavbro, I have a motherfucking idea." I smiled and turned around so my back was too him, "Get on my back."

"G-Gamzee?"

"Get on my back."

"What a wonderful idea!" Kanaya said stepping around me to look down at him, "You can do your laps that way."

"I-Isn't that, uh, cheating?" Tavros asked fiddling with the ends of his shorts again.

"Mr. Ampora never said you couldn't piggy back off someone." Jade smiled while patting his head, "Just as long as you make it around the track 10 times." Tavros stayed still.

"Tavbro, either get on my motherfucking back, or I'll carry you like a bride through the fucking threshold." I looked at him from over my shoulder and winked.

His face turned pink, but he nodded and wrapped his arms around the shoulders and I held his legs at my sides. "You all up and motherfucking comfortable?"

"U-uhm, yeah."

Karkat groaned, running his fingers through his mess of black hair, "Can we fucking go already? Everyone else is almost fucking done!"

At first we all ran together as a group, but by the time we were on our 4th lap, we started to separate accidentally. Rose and Kanaya ran a little ways ahead of me, Tavros, John, and Dave, while Karkat and Sollux were a couple paces behind us. And Jade, the spunky ball of energy would go back and forth between us, not able to decide on what speed she wanted to go.

I'm just glad that the track isn't an obstacle course because I would have ran into something by now if it was. I couldn't get myself to stop looking at Dave. There was just something… different about him today. I went over his appearance in my head, 'Same blonde hair that's always parted the same way.. Same shades… same baggy pants… but not his usual hoodie.' I frowned staring at the article of clothing, 'Maybe I don't like it because it's Captors.. no. There's something else about it.'

Dave caught me looking at him. He raised an eyebrow and spoke between puffs of air. It goes without saying that running is not Dave's favorite thing in the world, "S-sup?"

I shrugged, making Tavros's head, which was resting on my shoulder, bob with the movement, "You look motherfucking different today, Davebro."

He stumbled slightly over his feet and sputtered, "Wh-what?! I-I do no-ot! S-sh-shit, b-ro." He stopped and held his side, "R-running is n-not my f-f-fucking th-hing." He was breathing deeply trying to keep some air in his lungs. John and I had stopped to wait, until a voice yelled:

"Egbert! Strider! Makara! Nitram! Move your asses!"

Orphaner was standing looking out the gym doors at us, the rest of our class was already inside doing whatever our next activity was. John patted Dave on the shoulder, "Come on, Dave." Dave groaned but started running again. By now Karkat, Sollux, and Jade had caught up with us.

"What's the matter, Strider? Can't keep up?" Sollux teased. Dave snapped,

"F-fuck y-ou, Cap-ptor."

"Jesus, Strider. Are you really that out of shape?!" Karkat asked amused, "I thought the Great Dave Strider was good at anything and everything."

"I'm ju-ust not a ru-runn-er." Dave breathed, "Stop talk-ing to me. I-it hu-rts!"

Jade giggled, "Oh come on, Davey! Running is fun!" I felt Tavros nod,

"Y-yeah, Dave. You s-should be happy, um, that y-you even get the c-choice to do it." Dave looked up at him and frowned, letting out a loud breathy sigh,

"Y-yeah.. Sor-ry. My chest ju-ust hurts."

Sollux snorted while Karkat laughed and held his side, "Oh shit. Strider, don't make me laugh! That's just too funny." Jade looked between them and pulled Dave a little ways back from us to say something to him. I heard Dave huff something back, causing Jade to squeal.

Jade bolted past us a split second later up to Rose and Kanaya, I watched her run in front of them and speak to them quickly, waving her hands around. The two stopped abruptly before turning around towards us, the three of them all running back and passing us. 'I wonder what the fuck that was all about.' I turned slightly to see Dave kneeling on the ground catching his breath. John must have noticed because he turned too,

"Should we go back for him?"

"Nah, just let him be." Karkat smiled picking up the pace slightly, "I think the girls will be enough help." John nodded and the four of us, plus Tavros, kept running until we finished our 10 laps. Then waited at the gate for the girls to finish, dragging Dave behind them.

"You alright, motherfucker?" I asked Dave once they got to us. He nodded leaning on the fence as he tried to slow his breath. Jade giggled and nudged Rose in the side,

"And here I thought the Striders could never look unattractive."

Dave flipped us all off when we laughed. "I don't know what you assholes are talking about. I'm the spitting image of fine." He frowned shaking his head. "Now, let's get a move on with this torture."

Everyone started for inside while I sat Tavros back in his chair, "Easy does it, Tavbro."

"T-thanks, Gamzee." I chuckled and poked his nose, then walked behind his chair so I could push him inside.

"Not a motherfucking problem Tavbro. As I said, I like helping you."

He made a small noise of acknowledgement, but said nothing else as I we went inside. However the pink tint on his face spoke for him. A lopsided smile graced my face. Orphaner was standing at the entry point of the gym where they were playing Basketball. The rest of our friends were putting on the colored bands. "Looks like you lucked out, Nitram. You're the oddball that would make the teams uneven so you get to sit out the Basketball section of this term. Makara! You're on the green team with Strider. Go band up."

"Alright." I pushed Tavros's chair so that he was back where we were sitting before class. "See you after class Tavbro!" I smiled, walking over to where Dave was standing. He handed me a think green band. He had a matching one tied around his wrist. I took mine, debating on where to put it this time. We used the colored bands last year too, he said we could put it wherever we want as long as it was still visible. Most kids did what Dave did and just tied it on their wrist, but I like being different.

I tied mine around my head, knotting it on my forehead. "Heh." Dave looked up and me and chuckled before offering his fist to me, which I bumped with my own,

"Nice bro."

"Alright stop your horseplay!" Orphaner yelled to the kids on the court calling everyone together, "Here are the teams you'll be in for as long as we do Basketball. Team one, the Blue Team is Cronus Ampora, Feferi Peixes, Kurloz Makara, Jake English, Aradia Megido, Kanaya Maryam, and Rose Lalonde. Team two, the Red Team is Meenah Peixes, Eridan Ampora, Kankri Vantas, Porrim Maryam, Nepeta Leijon, Karkat Vantas, and Jade Harley. Team three, the Yellow Team is Jane Crocker, Damara Megido, Vriska Serket, Horrus Zahhak, Meulin Leijon, Sollux Captor, and John Egbert. Team four, the Green Team is Latula Pyrope, Equius Zahhak, Aranea Serket, Mituna Captor, Terezi Pyrope, Dave Strider, and Gamzee Makara. Remember your teams. Your team Captains are as follows, Cronus Ampora, Meenah Peixes, Jane Crocker, and Latula Pyrope. You'll listen to your Captains. The first game is Blue verses Green! Those members need to get with their teams, anyone not on those teams SIT DOWN."

Latula called us all together, "Alright guys! Are you ready to kick some Blue ass!?" she asked excitedly. Mituna chuckled, Aranea rolled her eyes, and Equius was watching Aradia from across the gym. Dave raised his hand,

"Yeah, so I have a question, Captain Pyrope."

"Speak soldier." Latula answered, fixing her ponytail.

"Alright, so why the hell is the blind girl allowed to play this?"

Terezi frowned at him for a moment before smirking, "Though my eyes can't see, my sense of hearing is past the peak of amazing as is my sense of smell. I can play this game without my sight and I bet I could kick your ass in one on one, Strider." She sat her cane down in the stands, "Watch and learn pretty boy."

Latula wrapped an arm around her sister, "Terezi is actually fairly good at Basketball. Do any of you guys not know how to play?"

"It's not so much as I don't know how to play," Mituna smiled, "It's more along the lines of I'm not good at it, because sports aren't really my forte." Latula rolled her eyes,

"Well get good. I don't wanna see a smug look of Victory on the other teams' faces." 'The other team being Cronus, Jake, my brother, Fefsis, Arasis, Kansis, and Flowersis.' I said turning to look at them with the rest of my team. Kurloz didn't look too happy about something.

I turned back to Dave, who happened to have the same expression as Mituna. Worried. 'Is something fucking wrong?' I tried to ask, but Latula called our attention to her,

"Here's how it's going to go down, we're each going to worry about our own player okay? Terezi I want you to cover Aradia, okay? I know she'll treat you like a normal player and not baby the fact your blind, but be courteous about it at the same time. Equius, you cover Fef, okay? 'Tuna I want you on Kurloz-"

"Well if you insist." The blonde laughed earning a smack from the redhead,

"Not like that! God, boys." Latula shook her head but smiled and continued, "Anyway, Aranea do you think you can cover Jake?"

"Of course. The Brit won't stand a chance against me." Aranea smirked. Latula nodded,

"Dave I want you to cover Rose, and don't let her physic you out. She'll act like she's not interested or paying attention, but she always is. Gamzee," She turned to me, "I left you with Kanaya. She really has no interest in the game, but I want you to watch her on the off chance she ends up helping Rose. Otherwise, I want you to help 'Tuna with your brother, because he can also be tricky. I'll take on Cronus myself." She clenched a fist in front of her face, but continued to smile.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea, 'Tula. He's stronger than he looks.." Mituna interjected, Dave nodded in agreement. Latula rolled her eyes,

"I'm not blind you guys, I can see that!"

"Hey!"

"Oops, sorry, 'Rez. Didn't mean anything bad by that." She apologized quickly. "Look if it'll make you feel better, the ones watching Feferi, Aradia, Kanaya, and Rose, can back me up if I need help. I know that none of the girls are really into this game, but they'll 'try their best' just so they don't get detention. We really only need to worry about Cronus, Jake, and Kurloz."

Mituna nodded, but Dave was still looking at the dark haired greaser. I nudged him, "You motherfucking chill?" It seemed to pull him out of his train of thought because he practically jumped out of his skin.

"Huh? Oh-Oh yeah, I'm cool."

"Ready guys?" Latula started towards the center of the gym where Orphaner was standing holding the ball. The rest of us followed and got across from who he we gonna be guarding. Orphaner looked from our team to the other, "Green team starts with the ball." He said tossing the orange thing to Latula before walking away. She bounced it a couple of times, passing it over to Mituna.

"You start, 'Tuna."

"Uh, are you sure?" He looked awkwardly at the ball in his hands, bouncing it once, then twice. I patted his back,

"You'll do motherfucking fine, you just gotta pass the ball off to one of us before you get up to the motherfucking hoop, unless you think you can get it in." He smiled anxiously and laughed cracking a joke,

"Oh yeah, I'm an expert at getting it in." I laughed along with him, in all honesty, I rather like Mituna. He's been over at our house almost every day after school because of Kurloz, and I've come to have somewhat of a friendship with him.

"But do you think you can all up and get it in passed me, Dandelion?"

Kurloz appeared in front of him with a lazy smile. Orphaner blew the whistle and before either of us could even move, Kurloz had the ball and was running across the court.

"H-hey! Wait a minute!" Mituna called, Latula pushed him after my brother as everyone else started to move, "Come on, 'Tuna! We have to get the ball back!"

The game was still going on ten minutes later and I was already sure of a couple of thing. Aradia and Kanaya couldn't give a fuck about this game, Rose didn't try unless she had the ball, Feferi was actually good at 3 point shots, Jake seemed to be really good at the game in general, so good in fact that I stopped watching Kanaya to help Aranea with him, my brother really like to rub in his height advantage to Mituna, and I really, really, really, really don't like that motherfucker named Cronus.

When the boy from Jersey could get close enough he would roughly push down Dave, Mituna, Terezi, and even Latula a couple of times. She of course had had enough and tossed the ball off to the side, by the 6th time he'd pushed Terezi to the ground and had gotten away with. She took off running at him and managed to knock him on to the floor, unfortunately Orphaner came and separated them, ignoring Latula when she tried explaining what he had been doing the whole game and then continued to give Latula detention and a lecture about how Basketball is not a physical sport.

She groaned and stormed by me as I was helping up Terezi. Grabbing onto her little sisters hand pulling her across the gym mumbling something along the lines of "Gay-tight-pants-wearing-conceded-motherfucker-horseshit-" I looked back around the gym unable to find Dave, 'Weird. Where'd that motherfucker go?'

The whistle blew again and the ball flew passed my head, and sneakers pounded and squeaked on the floor. I turned to run with everyone else and only ended up taking half a step before I crashed into someone and fell on the floor, landing on top of them.

'Oh fuck..' If the bump under my hand was anything to go by, I'd say that I landed on a girl. 'But that motherfucking can't be! Latula and Terezi were on the other side of the gym with Rose and Kanaya. Feferi had just ran by me, Aradia was standing off on the other end, and Aranea had been blocking Jake..' I counted off the girls who were playing in my head, 'That's all of the motherfuckers, so who…'

I opened my eyes and pushed myself onto my hands and knees, Dave was laying underneath me with a look of horror stretched across his face. 'Davebro..?' I blinked at him and then looked at my hand that was still sitting on his chest. There was definitely a bump under my hand, 'Maybe it's just a motherfucking clump of his shirt and hoodie.. yeah. I bet there isn't one on the other motherfucking side.'

I moved my hand over and my eyes widened when there was. Dave let out a strangled squeaking noise and as I looked up at his face his fist connected with my right cheek. I rolled off of him, landing on my back, and staring up at the ceiling. I saw Dave sit up out of my peripheral vision and turned my head to look at him.

'Holy motherfucking shit. How the fuck did I not notice before?' It was even more obvious to me now that Dave was sitting. 'Dave has boobs, but that means…' "Davebro… you're really Dave.. sis?"

His head whipped around at me, "GAMZEE! WHAT THE FUCK!?" His voice raised a couple of octaves as he whispered screamed at me, no, her voice. I smiled at her propping myself up on one of my elbows before reaching out and poking her chest. I laughed as she turned red from her ears to her neck,

"Davesis you have boobs." She growled jumped on me, pushing me back onto the ground before gripping my shirt in her tiny hands and shaking me,

"It's not funny, you fucker!" She yelled then stopped shaking me to hit my chest. She whispered, "Stop calling me sis!"

"Honk!"

Mr. Bromwell 'Orphaner' Ampora is kind of a dick. xD

Gamzee and John get upset when Sollux is around their best friends, but for two different reasons. Gamzee is worried about Karkat's safety, John just feels like Dave has replaced him, and now because of what SOllux had said during their SBURB session, he's also suspicious about there relationship.

Sollux works out a little while his computer stuff loads? Eh, why not.

Jade loves running, living on a big island let her run a lot as a kid. Her and Karkat also have a connection and are relatively good friends.

Dave isn't much of a runner, but that doesn't mean that she's not in shape. Some people aren't made to run xD

Basketball, yessss, I know I didn't name off a bunch of other random names, but there are more kids in the class then just the homestuck kids. Just so you know. xD

Eh, heh, heh, Gamzee touched some Dave boob.
