You jumped slightly as another whistle rang through the air, causing you to tighten your already solid grip on his hand. He chuckled slightly, squeezing yours back without hesitation. You were on a train. A real life train. You'd never been on a train before. That was supposed to be a secret; trains actually terrified you.
Your name was Tavros Nitram, and you were a goddamned scaredy cat.
"So, uh... This won't take too long, will it?" You asked, turning to him. He rolled his eyes, flipping a stray piece of long black hair out of his face. Those eyes looked bright purple in the cold, and he looked even more beautiful with that flush across his cheeks.
"It'll only be a few minutes, motherfucker. And that's too bad. We can always ride again if you want." He replied in that chill tone of his, pulling the thick, black wallet from his pocket and flashing it with a grin. You smacked him teasingly on the arm, letting out an indignant squeak. Sometimes you wondered where he got all the money he did; Gamzee worked at a small corner store, and because of that didn't get paid too much. You had ideas, but they were suspicious and therefore not thought about too much.
"I did not suggest this train ride!" You pouted right back. Sighing, he took your hand and held it tight to shut you up. It worked quite well. You fell silent, still glaring at him.
"Don't count this idea out, bro. It'll be fun. Trust me."
Trust me. Trusting Gamzee was a bad, bad idea, and you knew it. He was nothing but bad news. Then again, so was trusting Vriska, or any of your other friends. But did that ever stop you?
"I trust you."
"Of course you do."
At first, you were nothing but on edge. Every little bump of the small train sent you sliding closer to him, and he responded by wrapping his long, lanky arms around your shoulders. The train was going slow, just like he'd said, but it was really, really, really loud. Every half a turn sent the wheels squealing like banshees, and you were almost positive it would fall sideways and leave you even more handicapped then you already were.
It never did, though. Gamzee just sat silently next to you, holding you tight. The train climbed a tall hill- which was yet another surpise when it didn't go sliding backwards- and led to an amazing display of lights on the hillside. Your eyes grew wide.
"Wow!"
"Isn't it great, Tavbro?" You heard him say, and could hardly manage a reply. All those lights each lit up their own house? They were blue, green, pink, purple; every color you could think of! Some were flashing and others sparkled, illuminated by the moonlight. How were all those lights possible? You didn't think there were that many people in the world!
"It's beautiful." You replied, suddenly out of breath. He just sat, completely satisfied with your expression. You turned to him, grinning like a little kid. At this point, the train was slowly but surely making its way down the hill, disappearing just like your worries.
You sat back and looked at Gamzee, and he returned your gaze with happiness. The train sputtered and tooted and blew steam, eventually squeaking to a stop. There was a long line of people, all of their eyes full of excitement. You didn't know it, but yours were shining just as bright as them.
You yelled the first words that came to your mind.
"Can we ride it again?!"
Gamzee just smiled and nodded.
"Anything for you, motherfucker."
