The rest of the night you were more or less just lying in the sofa watching TV and discussing how many shows that was based on movies. You found out it was a lot more than what people usually thinks. You were in a little argument over if Heroes were based on Marvel (Tav voting for) when your phone gave out a little buzz. Leaning over to check it you suddenly remember Tav.
"Okey for yah if'ah take this?" The young dude slightly lifts his head and gives the phone a quick look and a tiny nod. "Yeah, sure, uh, no problem."
You pick it up and slide the code. It's a message from Kanaya:
I Have Been Wanting To Talk To You Since You Got Back, But You Did Not Return To The HQ, So I Am Informing You Through This Message Instead. Her Condense Wants You To Join Us In A Rather Small Mission Tomorrow. Some Incompetent Halfwits Decided To Camp On The Harbor. She Wants Us To Take Care Of Them. Pleas Report In The HQ Tomorrow Morning At 11.
-Kanaya
Tavros must have noticed your somber face because now the boy was sitting up and leaning over to get a better view of the message. You don't really mind it so you give him the phone so he could read it better.
"This means I've to go motherfuckin' early tomorrow, but'cha can just stay here if yah want to. I don't mind." You give him a little smile but he just returns a little dismal face.
"But, um, what if I come with you?" quickly turning his face to the better and sending you a little smile and a hopeful look.
"I mean it has been a long time since the, uh, accident, so I should get another chance, right?" Tavros was getting more and more excited over the idea.
"Tav, I wouldn't get all motherfuckin' exited if I was you. If I know her Condense right she won't give yah another chance," You see the little guys face lose some hope, but not all of it.
"But what if I, um, tell her this might be a chance for me to, uh, prove my use!" His face was even more lighten up now. You are sure that if he have had a tail now it would be wiggling like a fish out of water.
"I don't know, Tav…" You drag a hand through your hair. His face went out and only disappointment was left, tearing up his cutie-ness.
"Oh, um, ok…" Gooooood, why was he so cute! You can't say no to a face like that. He is just like a puppy! And the truth was that you didn't want Tavros to join you because the missions are dangerous and you really didn't want him to get hurt or cry. Tavros crying is the saddest thing ever. Imagine a four year old kid. He is just like that! He gets this enormous, brown eyes as they get all read and wet and tears start to cry down his apple cheeks. That was Tavros when he cries. That was the face he was starting to make now. And you knew this was important for him. You knew that he had been waiting for years for her Condense to trust him. You knew he had been waiting his life for a chance like this. That was the only reason you said:
"Ok, fine. Cha can come, but don't get too motherfuckin' disappointed if she says no!"
Tavros smile was so big now that you almost could not handle it. He jumped up and leaped over you in to a hug as he shouted a "Thank you, Gamzee!" and quickly you wrapped your arms around him to manage to hold you both in the couch. He still cried, but of happiness. He cried as if he were a kid that had just got to meet his dad after he came home from ww2 unhurt. Like he was hugging him for the first time in five years. Like he had almost lost all hope for him, but still he got back. He cried after a new chance. You laughed it out a little.
"Yah know you can count on me!" you stuttered as the boy was squeaking himself tighter against your chest. You hugged for at least ten seconds before he started to try to get himself up. He put his hands up under himself and started to push himself backwards, but were losing grip and falling back down on your chest knocking out the air of both of you. You knew he would not make it, doe to his lack of feet to help him balance up and his arms simply not having enough balance.
You grab his shoulders and push you both up in a sitting position, he on top your lap. He looked up as you both noticed that it was only a couple of centimeters between your faces. You looked in to his as could see every little detail. The tiny freckles that was just over his nose. The tiny green circle in the middle of his chocolaty eyes. His soft lips. You were just centimeters from them. Just centimeters from touching them. Just centimeters from kissing them. Just centimeters from feeling him.
Tavros face caught a gigantic blush and he quickly moved away, pushing himself of you and back up in the sofa, awkwardly laughing and dragging a hand slowly through his hair. Disappointment was what you felt. You had been so close, but it was just a flash in the pan…
"S-shouldn't we go to bed. It's getting kind of late and we are getting up early, um, tomorrow!" You take a new look at your phone just to check the time. Oh, shit, it's midnight!
"Yeah, your right, bro. Want me to help you?" Tavros, still red like a beetroot, gave you a little nod. You lifted the cutie in to his wheelchair. His skin was warm and you felt his breath against your chest as you carried him, which now gave you its cold after taste. You walk around the chair and proceed to push him in to your bedroom.
"You sleep here and I'll be sleeping on the motherfuckin' couch. Ok?" Tavros turns over and gives you a worried look.
"Um, I-is it ok if we sleep together instead? I-I don't have tinker bull here and, um, can't sleep without someone." Tavros now turned to beetroot soup and his lips in to a straight line. You already knew about this. Tavros told you about his plushy a while back. It was a gift from his brother, Rufioh before he left the family to find his own territory. No one knows where he is…
"Sure, Tavvy! We'll share the bed!" Of course you don't mind sleeping with him! You wouldn't want anything else!
Tavros gives you a relived smile and his blush finally started to disappear. You both start dragging of your clothes revealing your way to white and skinny belly and Tavros's nicely toned one. Pushing a wheelchair really gave him muscles and they stood nicely to his slightly tanned skin. He noticed you were staring at him and started blushing before he wrapped his arms around himself in a failed attempt to cover up.
"C-can I borrow a t-shirt to sleep in?" his face was starting to get crimson and his smiles more and more edgy.
"Sure, Tavbro!" You bumped him on the shoulder and went in to your closet and got up two oversized t-shirts to use as pajamas and gave one of them to Tav.
"Will this do?" Tav gave you an unsecure smile and pulled it on. It was an old Metallica shirt.
"Yeah, it's, um, cool!" He smiled a thank you as you grabbed him in bridal position and lifted him up in to the bed.
He curls up in to the side and you scoop after him so that you both lay in a spooning position. Tavros freezes as you wrap your long arms around his little body and breathe in to the back of his neck, picking up every scent his got and saving it in your memory.
"G-Gamzee! W-What are you doing!?" The little guy starts to panic a little smacking his arms out and shivering in his whole body. His so cute!
"Shh, brotha… if we're gonna to sleep togetha we've to cuddle! It's tha rule for miracles!" You are pretty sure the boy is reddening again, but he starts to relax and breathe in a normal paste.
"Oh, okey, uh, I g-guess that's alright…" he moves himself closer alongside you, relaxing in your arms you both fall asleep.
