We're getting there guys. We're getting there. Sorry for the story moving so slowly, btw.
The instant I told Tav about my message he agreed. I knew he would. He was always so nice to every motherfucker in town, even those who used to tease him or be jerks to him in some other way. He was stronger than people gave him credit for.
So now I was making dinner for the three of us. Sollux was sitting on the kitchen table and Tav was pretty close in his wheelchair. The kitchen was pretty crowded, but I somehow manage to move around.
"So, what were you all up and doing to forget food again?" I ask Sollux and he shrugs.
"I wath coding", he answers. It flashes through my mind that Tav must feel pretty awkward with us both being at least two years older than him and that he doesn't really know Sollux too well. Only through me and Karkat.
"Making those motherfucking miracles?" I ask grinning and turn around to look at him while I let the food slowly cook.
"Yeah, you could thay it that way", he says smirking a bit in a way that reminds me vaguely of Dave.
"It's not, uh, a good idea to stop eating", Tavros stutters and Sollux turns his head to look at Tav.
"I know. I jutht forget. Many timeth", he says and looks back at me through his multicolored shades. "And I like hith cookingth."
Tavros smiles and we all continue a chat while I finish cooking the beefs and other stuff I had planned out for this. Oh how I would have loved to grill this, but I don't happen to own a grill.
"Thorry if I'm rude, but what'th the thituation between you two?" Sollux asks pointing at the both of us with his fork. I glance at Tav and he sort of smiles to me apologetically. So he told Sollux.
"Not sure", I answer really not wanting things to get awkward right now.
"Not thure, eh? Maybe you thould go on a date. Thee how much fun it ith and then get together", he suggests. I glance at him warningly. Sollux had always been like this, saying what he thought straight away, not caring how the others felt, as long as it didn't hurt them too much. I wouldn't have minded but now, though, Tav was getting uncomfortable.
"Maybe", I say and finish my food. "Would you like that, Tav?"
"Umm, sure, sounds, uhh, nice", he says smiling shyly. Yeah, he was uncomfortable all right.
"Good! Now I have thomething to report to KK about", he grins at me. Oh yes, Karkat would love to hear about this, wouldn't he?
"Just don't tell everyone", Tav asks and I roll my eyes smiling. I put the dishes in the dishwasher and the three of us go to enjoy some video games in the living room. I'm starting to wonder if Sollux will ever leave. Yeah, it's nice to see him somewhere other than at work or on the computer, but I would really like some time with Tav to, well, talk things out.
After losing a billion times to Captor I manage to get him to leave. Or more like he says he'll leave the two of us alone. We say our good bye's and then I'm alone with my bro.
"What would you like to motherfucking do?" I ask smiling a bit at Tav, who's sitting on the sofa.
"I don't really know. Do you, uh, really want to go on a date?" he asks a bit shyly.
"Hell yeah", I answer grinning and sit down next to him.
"Oh, um, all right. Where?" he asks and I stare at him.
"You mean you want to go on a date? With me?" I ask unbelieving.
"Uh, yes, I think that's what I said", he says blushing and I briefly think it's cute.
"Well that's motherfucking awesome. It's a pure miracle!" I say grinning from ear to ear.
"Um, sure. Miracles", he says smiling a bit. "So where would you want to go?" he asks again.
"The movies sound like fun. Haven't been there for a while", I say thoughtfully. "That would be motherfucking bitch tits."
"Then let's, uh, go to the movies tomorrow!" Tav says a tad excited. I feel like I could just burst open. I've been wanting this for so long and Tav looks so happy right now. I think I could just die from how happy I am.
"Awesome! This is a miracle worth celebrating for", I say with a wide grin and fetch a bottle of my miraculous Faygo. I open it and offer some to Tavros, but he doesn't want it. I simply shrug it off and sip the awesome drink.
"What will we go see?" Tavros asks and I shrug.
"Let's choose there", I suggest and he nods, changing the channel on the TV. We spend most of the evening watching useless programs on the TV. I quickly check the weather forecast and Tavros insist on trying to teach me a new card game. I fail at learning it miserably, but Tav doesn't mind. Instead he laughs it off, puts the cards back in their box and cuddles on my lap on the floor. I hug him gently close to me, careful this time not to choke him or anything. Don't want to lose this miracle just when I got him.
I jerk a bit as I hear my phone signal a new message and gently move Tav into his wheelchair. He follows me to the kitchen and I check the message.
"Karbro wants me on the computer", I read the text to him and he nods.
"I think you, uh, should go then", he says and I ruffle his Mohawk.
"You're the best", I say before leaving to my room. I hear Tav moving around for a while until he finds a place he likes. I sit down on my chair and swivel around while I wait for the computer to power up. I really should ask Sollux to fix it up some time. It's been behaving very suspiciously lately. Like it would shut down any second.
I barely get to log into Pesterchum when Karkat already pesters me.
