Outcast (JohnKat)

13: Apologies

Dave was glaring at Gamzee, who was sitting down on the couch.
He had came in with the gun and Dave, but said he needed to talk.
When Dave had saw him outside, he was going to run. So, in response, he pulled out the gun.

"Um, that probably wasn't the best way to do that yknow.." I laughed nervously, holding Karkat in my lap. He wasn't making any eye contact with Gamzee.

"Heh, sorry about that brother.." He rubbed the back of his neck, "But it ain't my fault. Strider wouldn't let me mother fucking talk."

"Well, you know.. With a past like that, who wouldn't run from you?" Dave rolled his eyes.

Gamzee shrugged, "Anyways, I just all up and wanted to mother fuckin' apologize about my behavior in the past.. With.. Nep, Eq and you two.. It was really stupid of me.." He looked down. "I'm a better dude now. I have a friend whose been helpin' me with my problems and I even got a troll! He's the sweetest mother fucker ever! His names Tavros. I think him and Karkat should all up and have a play date or somethin!"

"Wait.." Dave turned to him, "You got another troll?"

Gamzee nodded. "Yup! I've had him for months! My good friend Terezi helped me with my drug problem, and she said her friend had a troll to give away. Of course, I thought I couldn't handle him after last time, but after meetin' the little guy, he really turned my whole world around."

"Wow.. You don't sound like the guy Dave told me about. You must have really changed! I still don't understand the gun though.."

"It's a toy gun bro.." He picked it up and pressed the trigger, a little flag popping out with BANG written on it.

"Oh for gods sake, YOU HELD ME FORCEFULLY, SCARED FOR MY LIFE WITH A STUPID TOY?!"

Gamzee grinned.

Karkat looked up a little, he seemed more comfortable with Gamzee's presence after hearing everything.
Gamzee seemed to catch his gaze.

"Hey little troll dude, I'm all up and sorry about scarin' you when you were a lil' troll.. Or.. Well.. Littler.. My mind was in the wrong place. I hope ya' can forgive me.."

Karkat stared at him, blinking. "Um.." He buried his face in my chest. I scratched behind his ear.

"Wanna meet Tavros?" Gamzee tilted his head, "He's a cool troll!"

Karkat nodded a little.

"Alright, I'll be right back.." Gamzee got up and went outside.

Dave looked at us. "I don't know whether to believe his shit or not.. What if he brings an actual gun?!"

"Oh calm down.. Give him a chance?"
"Fine.." Dave crossed his arms.
Soon, Gamzee came back in with a pet carrier. He set it down on the floor and opened it. A little troll tried running out, but his big horns didn't allow him to.
Karkat saw and giggled, jumping down to help him out.
The little troll finally got out, and hugged Karkat, thanking him for his help.

"Aw! They're gettin' along!"

"HE'S SQUEEZING ME!!!"
"T-Thank you!" Tavros smiled.
"NOOOOO!!!!! IM DEAD!!! DEATH BY HUGS!!!!!"

We all burst out laughing. Gamzee patted his lap, and Tavros came running to him. He jumped up and hugged Gamzee, purring.

Karkat came back to me, jumping back up. "HE SQUEEZED ME! IVE BEEN SQUEEZED!!"

"Heh, yeah. He's a squeezer alright. He's been a lot more open ever since I took him in. His last owner kinda made him unconfident. I've been helpin' him with that.." Gamzee kissed Tavros's forehead. Tavros purred more and nuzzled him.
