Chapter 47. We're two chapters from the end. We can do this!
After drying myself I put on clean boxers and a t-shirt and go to the living room to find Gamzee waiting for me.
"Got something to all up and be telling me about?" he asks and I halt in the doorway. His tone of voice is rather frightening.
"W-what do you mean?" I ask.
"You got a call while you were all up and getting your clean on. I checked who it was and answered. Wanna take a motherfucking guess?" he asks a small smile tugging at his lips.
"Uh, Vriska?" I suggest. I wasn't expecting a call.
"Nah, I wouldn't have answered that bitch", he says, leaning back on the couch and inviting me over. I wheel there and he helps me onto the couch, grabbing hold of my hand.
"Then, uh, who was it?" I ask and he smiles.
"It was motherfucking Equius."
My heart jumps to my throat and I can't think of a thing to say. I open my mouth a few times before finally finding my voice.
"W-what did he, um, want?" I don't even need to ask. I already know.
"He said your legs will be ready on Friday", Gamzee says smile faltering a bit.
An awkward silence falls into the living room and we stare at each other. Gamzee seems to be waiting for me to say something, but I'm having a really hard time coming up with anything. Finally I let my gaze drop down to my hand, still in his.
"I-i'm sorry, for not telling you", I say, voice a bit strained. "I wanted it to be, uh, a surprise. And I didn't think they, um, would be ready this quickly."
"I's no problem", he says and my eyes dart up to meet his almost purple ones.
"Y-yes it is. I s-should have told you, uh, the day I ordered them", I say chewing at my lower lip.
"Seriously, it's not like it's my business anyways. Great you can finally walk again!" he says grinning widely and I stare at him mouth slightly open.
"So I was wondering how much they motherfucking cost you", he says after a short silence and I shake my head.
"It's not that much. I've got the money saved", I say and he chuckles.
"I can pay half", he says and I shake my head again.
"No. I'm not letting you do that", I say and he frowns.
"Aww, why not? Can't I help my boyfriend out?" he asks and I sigh.
"Gamzee, I'm paying for them. That's, uh, final."
Gamzee frowns a bit but agrees with it.
"When are you gonna get to walk with them?" he asks.
"I don't really know. Um, maybe after the surgery", I say. Maybe that wasn't the best thing to say. Gamzee's expression turns worried the instant the words have slipped out of my mouth.
"You have to go through a surgery?" he asks, horror leaking into his voice.
"Uh, yeah. The legs, uh, can't be used otherwise. I'll try to get the time, um, this weekend", I say and squeeze Gamzee's hand. "It'll be just fine."
Gamzee stares at me for a bit before a small smile finally forms on his lips.
"So you're gonna go to a surgery this weekend", he starts.
"If I get the, uh, time. And then it'll take some, uh, time to get used to the legs", I say and he smiles.
"We'll get through this! We motherfucking will!" he says with an ear-to-ear grin on his face that makes me giggle.
I'm about to say something else but he interrupts me by leaning in for a kiss. I smile and return the kiss, leaning in a bit.
Suddenly I feel his cold fingers under my shirt and gasp. He takes the opportunity to slip his tongue into my mouth and I shiver. Why's he so eager all of a sudden?
He pushes me back down on the couch, getting on top of me and slowly pulling my shirt up. He pulls it all the way off and starts sucking and biting at my neck, making I shiver.
Then I get it. He's scared. Scared of losing me. I smile as another shiver racks through my body. Maybe I'll let him do it, just this once.
Also, if anyone wants to read this following part I will be uploading it as a seperate story, Just the two of us. I will be keeping to my promise of only one rated M scene in this story.
