Last one for today, hoping to get some up tomorrow too.
I suddenly wake up to something, I'm not really sure what. I search for my clock, but can't find it. I rub my eyes with the back of my hand and pick up my phone from the table. I look at the bright numbers. It's 1.30 in the morning.
So what could have woken me up?
I fall back into my bed and close my eyes, wrapping myself into my blankets. Maybe I just had a weird dream. I must have imagined it.
I'm about to fall asleep again, but something gets my attention. It's small, barely noticeable, but it's definitely there.
I turn around to look at Gamzee. He's on his stomach, head turned towards me and limbs sprawled out in weird angles.
"Taav", he whines in a barely audible voice. Is he talking in his sleep?
"Don't, Tav. Don't tease", he mumbles and I can't make out the next sentence. Then I hear him whine softly.
Oh wait. No. No way. Nonono NO! He isn't just having a dream about me, is he?
I listen for a few seconds without hearing anything. Then he turns onto his side facing me, one hand in front of his head, the other near his waist.
"Ungh, Tavros", he moans. I stare at him, not able to think straight. Then he turns around and goes quiet.
I stare at his back for a minute before turning around. Looking at his bushy black hair won't help me fall asleep again. No chance with that. But his image is stuck in my head. His expression while saying my name. Wait, I think I know what he dreamt of.
It takes me a while to fall asleep again. I can't get Gamzee out of my head.
Eventually, though, I fall asleep and have the weirdest dream of my life. I wake up to my alarm and momentarily forget the dream, what ever it was about. I pull my wheelchair over and pick up my alarm clock from the floor. I then pull some clothes to change into and roll out of my room.
In the kitchen I see Gamzee slowly drinking some orange juice and freeze. My dream comes rushing back to me. It hits me so hard I can't move for a few seconds.
"Tav, are you all right?" he asks this like he did something wrong.
"Oh, what? N-no, I-I just remembered, uhh, my dream from last night. It was weird", I answer and roll to the counters getting the ingredients for my tee. "Did you have any dreams last night?"
Glancing at him from the corner of my eye I notice him tense. Yes, I had guessed right. I'm curious though, if he'll admit anything. Which I guess he probably won't.
"Umm, a pretty weird dream", he says slowly.
"Oh. What was it about?" I ask casually and continue making my tee. While waiting for the water to heat up I grab something to make a sandwich out of.
"I can't really remember", he answers sitting down at the table with his drink still half full in his hand. "What about you?"
"Um, it was very weird. I was in a forest, and then, uhh, you came there. And we ran through the forest to a mountain, and uhh, if I remember right, we flew up to the top and played with some bears and animals living there", I explain. Yes, that's excactly my dream.
What? Did you maybe expect something more? All I have said is I had a weird dream.
So I continue making breakfast and eat it rather quickly, excusing myself to go pack my bag for school.
"Do you ever miss school?" I ask Gamzee as he watches me come back.
"Nah, never liked that place. Full of all those miracle destroying adults an' stuff", he says grinning a bit and I smile.
"Well, they can't help it. It's, uhh, their job", I explain, even though explaining things to Gamzee isn't usually all that helpful. He never understands it anyways.
"Guess you're right", he says and gets up from the sofa. "I'll be going now. Gotta grab Karbro on the way", he says smiling. "See ya later Tavbro."
I watch him leave and sighing go to the TV. There are our consoles. There's a Wii and an X-Box 360. I play the X-Box a lot more, since most of the Wii games include moving a lot. Like Just Dance, or something like that. Though I do enjoy watching Gamzee dance. He's pretty good at it.
After waiting around for most of my free time thinking about Gamzee I leave for the bus stop. It would be awful to be late for the bus.
I go down the elevator, not seeing anyone on my way. It's like everyone is still sleepingor something. They're not out, at least I know that.
At the bus stop I see someone I didn't want to see. Vriska is standing there, even though her stop is later on.
"Hello Taaaaaaaavros!" she yells, waving her arm at me. I hesitate, but approach her and she leans down on me, putting her hands next to my head.
"Long time no see. Watcha doin' all alone? Don't have friends to come with you?" she asks grinning like a maniac.
"Um, I have friends. T-they just live a bit farther, or closer, to the, uhh, school", I say quietly.
"Oh, I see. So you're like what, forever alone or something?" she says and grins again. "I heard Dave left you."
What? Did Dave tell the others he left me? Oh no, this is going too far.
"I left Dave", I say and Vriska blinks.
"Excuse me? I thought I heard you say you left Dave", she says sneering and straightens up.
"Um, y-yes. I broke up with, him", I say backing up a bit, not able to look at Vriska.
"You're such a dork, did you know?" she asks and doesn't say anything to me after that. God am I glad for that.
