Rage.

This is the only thing that Gamzee could feel after what Tav said. Rage so great that it made his skin boil and eyes sting, he felt as though every nerve in his body had been wound up and now he was ready to pounce at and beat the ever-loving shit out of that motherfucker who hurt his Tav like this.

"Who?" His normally gravely, rough voice shook, trying to contain himself for Tav's sake. "I...Gamzee please, its probably going to be yo-"

"MOTHERFUCKER I SAID WHO?" The clown's eyes had turned to a dangerous red tint now, his lips drawn back in a snarl, which clashed with the permanent painted-on smile. If it were any other situation, Tavros would've laughed, but all he could do now was shake in fear though he knew the rage wasn't directed at him.

"D-Dave. But he wasn't completely, y'know, a-aware of the situation!" The taurus stuttered, he wasn't trying to protect the Strider by any means, what he had done was unacceptable, but more so was trying to protect Gamzee from going to prison for manslaughter and becoming a single parent.

"What's a motherfucker trying to say?" The clown said, looking at the other curiously, the rage had simmered to at least a stable point, at this point his hand was off of the other's face and their noses were no longer touching, but Gamzee still held onto him.

"Well, uh...I was walking home one night, because Nepeta asked me to help her with something at the office, and of course, I said sure, but I forgot that I had to take the bus. So I missed the bus, and I couldn't call you to get me because the thing Nepeta needed was to teach Equius how to take a picture without breaking the phone."

"Luckily, my phone didn't break but Nepeta went through all my pictures and there was...y'know...that v-video on there..." Tavros fell silent for a bit, his whole face flushed, including his ears. Gamzee helped him stand up completely and walked over to their old couch his uncle had donated to them because it was 'a motherfucking mess that only that shithead would enjoy', he was right however, Gamzee loves that couch. Tavros thinks sometimes he purposely gets in trouble to sleep on it. "What does that all up and that have to do with you not being able to call a motherfucker though?" Gamzee inquired, sitting down on said couch and patting the seat next to him.

The Taurus took the seat and picked up where he left off on his story,"Well, she went through all my pictures, and then she saw that and pictures of us and she wanted to download all of them because they 'Give her so many feels'. I don't know what that means, and I certainly don't know why she wants a video of us d-doing that, I don't even know why that was on there I don't-"

"Ya mean that miraculous video of us doin' all sorts of crazy shit while we was fucking?" Gamzee interrupted, looking at the other who buried his face in his hands. "...Y-Yeah." Came the muffled reply, its owner obviously embarrassed beyond belief. The clown gave a honk of laughter, "Oh man! I remember that! That was the motherfucking bitchest of tits! Especially when ya let me eat yo-"

"Gamzee! Please, back to my point!" The Capricorn laughed once again, but settled down to let Tavros continue once again.

"But, uh, so anyway, she downloaded everything, which absolutely killed my battery. So I decided to walk home, and I passed that bar across the street, y'know, to get here. And I was about to cross the street but there must have been some gum or a crack in the sidewalk or maybe I just tripped over my own feet, and I fell down. But then, out the bar comes Dave and he helps me up and I say 'Thanks.' and 'Sorry I can't stay and talk, not that I don't want to! It's, just, Gamzeeme.' and he just walks away."

"So I get here and to the door, but I forgot my key, and I knew you were probably asleep and I didn't want to wake you up so I didn't bother knocking or calling for you." Gamzee huffs, irritated.
"Ya should've just woken me up, y'know I don't care if ya wake me up, even if it was for something stupid or ya could've asked someone for their phone to have me get ya."

Tavros nodded, " I know, I know. But you had been working hard lately and I didn't want to tire you out more." Another huff, but this time he turned to him and hugged the other, letting his head rest on Tavros'. "You don't tire me out Tav." The Taurus wrapped his arms around Gamzee's back, burying his face in his hoodie once again.

The taller leaned back onto the couch so that now he was laying on the couch with the smaller on his chest, listening to the rhythm of his heart.
Tavros felt himself be lured to sleep, his eyelids getting heavier.

"Tavbro? Tav~" Gamzee mumbled while running his fingertips onto the shaved parts of his head, chuckling lowly at the sight of Tavros shivering awake. The Taurus rubbed his eyes, looking up at the other.

"W-wha?" He pulled his head from the warm(ish) vicinity of the Capricorn's chest, looking at his painted face. "Your story Tavbabe, about that motherFUCK-I mean, Dave." Tavros' brain clicked back into reality, laying down back onto Gamzee, but he shifted above where the heartbeat was strongest to not fall asleep again. He wanted to get this over with as soon as possible.

"Where was I?...Oh! Yeah. So, I look around for the spare key, but then I remembered you had it because you lost your real key at your swimming class, and I didn't want to wake you up, oh. We went over that...Anyways, I figured to go back across the street since it wasn't that far or long ago."

"So,I go back. I look around the place I fell, I look in the street. I looked everywhere. Then, Dave came out of the bar again, except, significantly drunker. He kept going on about how he couldn't find Karkat, so I decided to help him find Karkat and see if he was sober enough to tell if Dave had my keys or he'd seen my keys."

Gamzee's nose twitches, his expression a cross between a snarl and a frown. "What?" Tavros asks, confused. He doesn't say anything and props himself and the other up with his elbow, leaning down to kiss the other on the lips. The smaller's eyes widen for a moment, startled, before closing and starts to kiss back.

"-Gam!" The smaller pulled back from the embrace to squeak out the other's name as he felt a cold hand slip under the hem of his jeans. He quickly tugged on the wrist of the taller, much to his lover's disappointment.

"Wha, what'd I do?" The capricon said, looking at the other with a big grin and a small honk, obviously looking to take this further. "I was just telling you how I- and you-! Ugh! Gamzee, please, this is serious!" The taurus huffed, placing his hands on his hips.

The clown nodded, a guilty expression on his face, he shook off the other's hand and placed his own on the stomach of the smaller. He leaned forward and placed his head on the crook of Tavros' neck, sighing lightly. "I know, I know I just...I hate that this happened to ya' and even Karbro didn't do anythin'."

Tavros didn't say anything, and was unable to think of anything comforting to say to his beloved.
He knew that Karkat and Gamzee had been best friends since Gog knows when, and for his best friend to not help his matesprit must be hard on him.

"Do...Do you want me to keep going?" Gamzee simply replied with a small head shake.

"No need to be dwelling on such an unmiraculous thing, gets ya'll stressed and shit." Taking his hand and bringing it to the other's covered waist, he leaned back, matching the taurus' amber irises with his own indigo.

"Besides," Before the smaller could protest, he was hoisted into the capricorn's arms. "I been thinking 'bout ways to make sure that lil' miracle's mine."

"What does-" The question Tavros was about to ask was quickly caught off as he was thrown onto their shared matress, to which he quickly shown what had Gamzee had meant by "making sure".
