The next night Gamzee and Nepeta met as planned. The water was calm, and shimmered against the Alternian moon. Both had a lot on their minds, as both of their respective friends had put thoughts on their minds. Thoughts of compatibility, how everyone would perceive the relationship, and even if the other still had feelings.
Nepeta was the first to speak.
"Gamzee?" she looked up into his eyes, he met them.
"Yeah Nepeta?"
"Equius was talking to me last night, after I got home from your place, and he doesn't seem to approve."
She paused to see how Gamzee was taking the news before continuing. He looked calm, though she knew nothing of the thoughts that lay beneath his composure. He was thinking of what Karkat had told him last night, thinking that this might be the end of their brief red feelings. However, Nepeta was unable to detect this and continued.
"He was telling me that I should be with someone more of my blood caste and that you were too dangerous for me," she sighed, "But I don't want to listen to him for once!"
Gamzee perked upon hearing the words.
"For once," Nepeta continued, "I'm going against what Equius says, and taking control of my life! After all, he doesn't own me, and he especially doesn't own my romances!"
Gamzee was relieved to hear Nepeta's defiant speech. He wanted her more than anything and now, and knew that his expression showed it. He lay down on the grass, face-up to look at the moon. Letting out a held breath, he turned towards his matesprit.
"I'm really motherfucking glad to hear that Nep." He said with a smile. Sitting up, he pulled the other troll down beside him. The olive blood moved so that she lay on top of him, chest to chest. Cautiously, Gamzee put his hands on her waist, not sure what to make of the situation. Nepeta smiled at his nervousness.
"So now that that's out of the way, what next?" she traced the indigo sign of his shirt with her finger.
Gamzee said nothing, too tense and anxious to say anything.
"Well I have a few ideas if you're not going to suggest anything."
Nepeta kissed the highblood, and passion took them both.
