Little Bitty Miracles {Gamzee x Tavros}

20

Aradia and I had made our way into town when we left Sollux's hive. Him and Terezi got into a dumb fight over who the winner was, and Aradia and I wanted no part. As for Nepeta, she just kinda . . . disappeared. We continued walking till my stomach grumbled.

Aradia chuckled. "Hungry?" she asked me and I blushed.

I nodded. "Y-Yeah, j-just a little."

She looked around while we didn't stop moving. She smiled when she looked at a fast food place and stopped, making me stop too.

She pointed to it. "How about there?"

I looked over to where she was pointing. "M-McDonald's?" I asked to see if I was correct. Aradia smirked and I shrugged. "S-Sure, why not?"

She smiled now and nodded. "Ok then, let's go."

We walked inside, some people moving out of the way to give me room. I quietly sighed but started looking at the giant menu.

"Find what you want?"

I nodded and pointed to it. Aradia nodded and went to order it while I went off to find a table.

I wheeled around for a little, then heard my name get called. I'd recognize that gravely voiced troll anywhere.

I rolled over to Gamzee's table with two pull out chairs, one was open. I gave him a hug while smiling and he pecked my forehead.

"What the fuck you doing here?" Gamzee asked, confused.

"W-Well," I started, "S-Sollux and T-Terezi got into a fight after we played some M-Mario Kart, so I-I think Nepeta tried to stop them while Aradia and I l-left." He nodded.

"Y-You don't mind if we sit here, uh, d-do you?"

Gamzee shrugged. "Go right ahead."

I smiled and rolled a little closer to the table.

After a few more minutes, Gamzee started gesturing someone over. I looked over my left shoulder to see Aradia making her way over to our table.

"Hello Gamzee," Aradia greeted as she sat down in the seat on my left. "Didn't know you were here."

"I didn't know you two motherfuckers were here either," Gamzee replied.

Aradia handed me a small cardboard box that held my food. I smiled and thanked her.

"What'd'cha get?" Gamzee asked, leaning a little closer to probably smell my food.

I giggled and playfully shoved him away. "I-I saw those c-chicken nuggets on the menu board, s-so I wanted to try them."

"Nice," he replied, nodding. "Sounds motherfuckin' sweet."

I took a bite of one of the chicken nuggets and instantly smiled, starting to finish that one and going to the next.

Aradia giggled. "You seem to be enjoying those," she said with a smile. I blushed.

"W-Well, they are really good," I replied with a half smile.

"That's a good thing."

I finally finished and Aradia looked at my things called 'french fries'. I glanced at her, then back to my french fries.

"D-Do you, um, want them Aradia?" I asked her.

She looked at me and shrugged. "I mean, I'll eat them if you won't."

I handed them to her and Aradia thanked me, starting to happily eat the fries.

"You know what," Aradia started, wiping her fingers with a napkin, smiling, "we should come here more often; start doing this."

I nodded. "Y-Yeah."

"So," Aradia started again, holding out her hand so I could shake it, "we got some sort of eating deal - I'll eat your fries anytime you get some nuggets, if we ever eat out together?"

I smiled back at her, shaking her outstretched hand. "D-Deal!" I told her, giggling.

She laughed too. "Alright then!" Aradia then stood up, picking up our trash and putting it on the tray that she had kept in front of her. "I'm gonna head back to Sollux's place - see if Nepeta fixed that argument or made it worse. I'll tell you how it went afterwards, ok?"

I shrugged. "S-Sure."

Aradia gave me a quick wave then threw our trash away and left the fast food place. Now it was only Gamzee and me at the table.

He gave me a lazy smile. "What now my little motherfucker?" he asked.

I shrugged again. "W-Whatever. W-We can head back to my hive a-and-" I felt a vibration in my pocket. I took out my portable husktop and saw a random number on it and two buttons - one green and one red. I looked at Gamzee confused, but pressed the green button and held it to my ear; like I've seen humans do with their 'phones'.

"H-Hello?" I asked nervously.

"Hi there doormat," she spat through the phone. I instantly paled.

"W-What are y-you doing c-calling-" she cut me off.

"Oh save your stuttering! I gotta talk and make this quick - for my sake.

"I can't believe you fucking survived that fall! You slightly tougher than I thought!"

"T-That was y-you?!" I rasied my voice slightly, leaning forward in my wheel chair a little.

"Seriously?" she asked. "How did you not know it was me? How many other trolls do you have on your bad side?"

"W-Well-"

"Shut the fuck up; I wasn't curious.

"Going back to what I was saying before," she started, changing the subject, "How do you feel on fighting?"

I was confused, getting more scared as the seconds ticked by. "U-Um, I-I don't usually do that, b-but I'm not against s-strif-"

"Great bitch!"

"W-Why?" I asked.

"Cause I'm gonna fucking strife you. To. The. Death."

I swear to Gog I paled so much that I was a transparent white. "T-To t-the-"

"You heard me, don't fucking repeat it with your useless stutters.

"I'll give you a while, or I might just surprise attack you! I know where you live, after all."

"B-But I don't want to-"

"DID I SAY YOU HAD A CHOICE, TORADICK?" she yelled. I had to move the P.H. a little farther away from my ear.

". . . F-Fine," I said slowly, holding back my tears as I forcefully agreed. I could feel her smiling on the other end of the line. "I-I do it."

"Good. That's all I needed. Now, if you don't mind never talking to me until I saw so, that would be lovely! See your corpse soon, little Toreashit." I heard a clicked and I removed the P.H. from my ear, turning it off.

I tried to keep my breathing study, until Gamzee asked, "Who the fuck was that?" He sounded worried.

I stayed silent for a second, then reluctantly lied to him. "I-I'm n-not s-sure. T-Think they, uh, c-called the w-wrong n-number."

I looked over at Gamzee instead of down in my lap. He looked like he was studying me, looking me over and over again. He soon stopped and gave me a sort of half worried half smile. "Alright."

I frowned a little, but quickly took a deep breath. "L-Let's go!" I said quickly, rolling backwards away from the table.

Gamzee sighed and stood up. "Ok my little Tavbro," -he pointed towards the closest exit- "lead the mitherfuckin' way."
