If it's for you, I'd do anything... (Gaster x Groober)

''I'll send this town to the fiery depths of hell!''

"Gas-Gas-Gas-Gas-Gas-Gas!!! Today is the day Gaster is finally sending this town into the fiery depths of hell! Gaster can feel it! --Gaster!" Gaster said enthusiatically. Groober was sat contently, listening and watching as Gaster explained the plan, not talking unless promted to.

"And then Gaster will-- are you ok, Groober?" Gaster stopped explaining the plan, seeming concerned about Groober, as he was sat there, staring at Gaster and not seeming to be focused on his surroundings. "Huh-?" Groober snapped out of his thoughts "Oh, I-I'm ok, just lost focus with the world for a bit" Groober replied, looking down at the floor and trying to hide his nervousness. "Do you want a drink? You look very nervous and uncomforotable" is what Gaster asked, seeming quite worried about Groober, Groober responded with "Oh-- uhh, sure... I could do with a drink to help cool down". "What drink do you want?" Gaster questioned, while making his way to the fridge "Cola" Groober said, looking down at the floor he was sat on. 

Gaster went to the kitchen, and thought to himself  *why is Groober acting like this? He's a lot less talktive than usual, I wonder if he's okay..*, Gaster got too caught up in his thoughts that he forgot what he was doing. When he finally snapped out of his thoughts, he went to their fridge and grabbed a cola for Groober and himself along with two straws. 

As Gaster was doing so, Groober was still sat down, looking down at the floor he was sat on, he was lost in thought, what is he thinking of-- or shall I say, who is he thinking of? Gaster. He's been paying attention to his surroundings a lot less recently, all he can think of is Gaster, from the tiny little aspects, like how he's more energetic than usual, or how he's more tired than usual, to his enthusiasm and the change in his posture, the way he moves or the way he speaks, Groober notices every small detail.  Whenever Gaster does something differently, Groober notices it. 

Gaster was humming the tune of his and Groober's theme while walking back to where Groober was, with two cola's and two straws in his hands, he was still worried about Groober but was trying his best not to think about it and to focus on them sending PaRappa Town to the fiery depths of hell, succesfully this time.

Gaster made his way back to where Groober was sitting, everything seemed normal, from the back, that is. You could tell Groober was a nervous mess from the front. Again, Gaster tried to push the questions aside and to only focus on their mission, sending PaRappa Town to  the fiery depths of hell , without failing this time.

Groober was yet again lost in thought to even notice Gaster was back with his drink, for some reason he can never get Gaster off of his mind, sure they see each other every day but until these past couple of weeks, Groober has had other things on his mind, like how they should send the town into the fiery depths of hell, but lately he just can't help but think of Gaster. He's never experienced anything like this before, and it isn't like he can talk to anyone about it because he only really talks to Gaster. 

Gaster noticed Groober was lost in thoughts and didn't want to disturb him, but at the same time he was wondering if Groober was ok. He was concidering the options he had, and he chose to try and snap Groober out of his thoughts. Gaster tried things like saying Groobers name, tapping his shoulder, waving his hand over Groobers eyes, none of those worked. Gaster decided to see if hugging Groober would work. 

Groober was lost in thoughts, thinking about the things Gaster and him did to try and send PaRappa Town to the fiery depths of hell, when he suddenly felt someone wrap their arms around him in a hug, he got startled but soon realised it was Gaster and started blushing without realising. Gaster had succeeded in snapping Groober out of his thoughts, he was proud of himself. Since Groober was successfully snapped out of his thoughts, he and Gaster could finally drink their cola and start thinking of executing their plan.

"Here, your cola" Gaster extended the hand that was holding Groobers cola out so Groober could take it, and that's what Groober did. Groober took the cola from Gasters hand, "Thank you..." Groober said after taking the cola, Gaster responded with "You're welcome, this should help you cool down" and started to drink his cola, hoping that Groober was ok. Without realising it, Gaster was lost in thought, staring at Groober. Groober hadn't noticed, because he was trying not to look at Gaster, so he was sat there, staring at the floor, drinking his cola and cooling down slightly, that was until he wanted to ask Gaster a question and noticed how Gaster was lost in thought while looking at him. 

Gaster was lost in thought, and normally those thoughts would be about money or sending PaRappa Town to the fiery depths of hell or him being feared by others, but this time his thoughts were different. He found himself thinking about Groober because he was geninely concerned about how silent he was being, and how nervous he is, he's almost always commenting on what Gaster has to say about the plan, but recently he's just been quiet and looking down at the floor. It's making Gaster worry and hope Groober doesn't hate him.

After a bit of thinking and Groober noticing that Gaster's lost in thought while looking at him, Gaster snapped out of his thoughts and him and Groober made eye contact for a second or two, until the both of them looked away and nervously laughed. The two of them sat in silence for a couple of minutes, waiting for a conversation topic to come up, and Gaster remembered about his plan, but decided that it could be put aside for a bit.

Gaster broke the silence by saying "Gaster thinks we should go somewhere to take our minds off of  things", this intruiged Groober "Like where?" Groober asked, Gaster tried thinking of  somewhere to  go but got carried away by looking at Groober for a bit, but realised that he was looking at Groober and pretended he wasn't and he was just  thinking, "Hm... Oh! I know! How about we go to the pet shop to adopt a cat?" Gaster suggested, "Gaster, that will only take your mind off of things" Groober replied to Gaster's suggestion, and added "Besides, we can adopt a cat  another time" Gaster nodded to show that he understood.

The two of them were thinking of places for them to  go until their thoughts were broken by the noises of the telephone ringing, Gaster went to pick up  the phone. "Gaster speaking..... Really? Us?.... Ohhh, that's fine with Gaster..... Ok! We'll be there shortly.... bye!" "Who was it?" Groober asked "Papa PaRappa, he was asking if we could look after Pinto  and PaRappa while he's gone" Gaster replied, "Us? Couldn't he just get someone else? Like General Potter"  Groober asked again, "Well, he can't get anyone else because they're also going with him, and I think they're going for a couple days so we might want to pack some clothes to change into" Gaster replied, Groober didn't have any other questions so went to pack clothes for him to change into, while Gaster did the same.

They were all packed and ready to set off and make their way to the Rappa household, they had to walk there but luckily it wasn't too far away from their current location. They had taken a telephone just in case of emergencies.  On the walk there they were talking, and at one point Gaster asked "Is there anyone special you've met?", completely forgetting that he's the only person Groober talks to a lot. "Gaster, you do know that you're the only person I talk to a lot?" Gaster realised and said "O-of course I knew! Are you trying to call Gaster stupid?" Gaster pretended to be mad, and Groober saw through his facade and just started laughing, and then they just started laughing together and before they knew it, they were at the Rappa household.
