I Believe Your Darkness

You and Vesta chill out for a while. When the clouds start looming over you, impending rain, you both go back to your house. You make it just in time.

"Glad we missed that," she says, a little concern hanging around her.

You chuckle and take off your shoes and then suggest she does the same.

"If you don't like the rain you'll be held the fuck up here for a while. It's going to come down on us hard. Gods must be angry."

She laughs sort of nervous. You begin walking to the kitchen and you hear her follow. Out of the corner of your eye you can see her looking in awe at the place.

"Didn't get a good motherfuckin look before I pressume?"

She shakes her head and her jaw drops ever so slightly. You chuckle. Her own apartment is anything but big. It's got all its stuff in one room basically. This is a fuckin shock to her. You meet the kitchen and notice a paper on the counter.

Dear GAMZEE,

We all went to the movies. We'll be back around 9. Roxy made you food, hope you don't mind.

-Dave/Karkat

All around the paper were scribbles; Karkat and Dave must've been fighting again like the idiots they are. That stupid Dave stealin your moirail... You push it out of your mind.

"Looks like it's just us, they all went out to the movies and won't be back until nine."

She smiles softly.

"I bet you could use some kind of fuckin rations right now."

She nods and sits down at the island separating the kitchen and living room. When you open the fridge, there's a sticky note on Dave's aj. And Gamzee, don't fuckin touch my apple juice, fuckin wriggler. You laugh instinctively.

"What?"

"Just... Dave. He hates it when I pop his aj... He left me a stupid human note. Ahaha."

She gives a small giggle and then settles down. It's quiet while you split up the food Roxy left you and then you get a bowl of fruit and put it between the two of you.

"Thanks Gamzee..."

She nibbles away. You can see her feeling a lot more nervous than comfortable. You slow down your eating (although you're starving) to pace with her. When you're both done you wash the dishes. You can see in the reflection of the window that she's watching you. After, when you turn back around she quickly looks away. You don't say anything.

"We should watch a movie, I mean if they are... Plus it's all kinds of perfect weather," she says.

You nod and she gets up and runs over to the couch, jumping over the back and landing comfortable. She looks back at you and pats the place beside her.

"C'mon."

You shake yourself out of just looking at her. You grab a sweatshirt after giving her the selection of films to choose from.

"Hey where are you going?"

"I'm going to get a sweatshirt cus it's hella cold."

"Do you have any blankets, despite my own sweatshirt, I'm still really cold."

You nod and leave the room. When you get back she's already got something playing the previews. You shut off the light and sit beside her. You give her the blanket and she puts it out over the both of you. She cuddles in. You find it.... startlingly cute. And you can't stop looking at her.
