Hot breath.
Pounding feet.
He was on a time crunch. Who knew if Sollux would go critical again; he needed to be there, but he needed to be there for Tavros too. This was on him.
Cold sweat ran down Gamzee's pale face as he rushed across town towards the book store. The summer heat crawled up his neck in swirls of angry thralls, threatening to suffocate him. He kept on slamming his worn out shoes against the reeking asphalt, each step closer to his destination.
Cussing under his breath as he faltered, skidded and fell, tumbling to the ground," FUCKING SHIT." Gabbing his knee with both hands, the Juggalo rolled over onto his side as more cuss words spilled out of his lips.
Slowly Gamzee rose to asses the damage: dirty and grit covered, bleeding and scraped, both hands and knee. Could be worse.
He continued to lamely run, his determination pushing him on. May be it was his worry more than his determination?
Finally at his destination he banged on the wood of the glass door," ROSA! GODDAMMIT ROSA!"
Footsteps.
A light.
"Gamzee? What do you need, where is Tavros, do you know what time it is?" Rosa said in a cross tone as she swung the door open and glared at the teen.
Quickly he explained the situation and held out his hand for Tavros' pain medication, not mincing words in the slightest, he didn't have time for this broad.
Rosa's glare only deepened," bring him back here, THIS INSTANT. He has other medications he needs to take! I understand he is at a medical facility, but he needs to be home! You are the only one of the three he actually knows! Imagine how awkward he feels waiting for you. You could have taken this time to have just brought him home instead of rush here to get him his medication! THINK BOY!"
Gamzee's mouth fell open, at a loss for what to say. She was right. He could have...he should have...what mush was his brain...Sollux...Karkat...Tavros...What's happening? Tavros is in a facility with tons of medication!
Gamzee sputtered and looked at the concrete then back up to Rosa," um...I...fuck...I have to go..."
"Here idiot boy." Rosa said coldly as se held out a bottle of pills," for Tavros," I just hope you didn't miss something you'll later regret. THINK." She said in a stern tone before shutting the door with a snap.
