"Something's wrong with him, Kar..." Gamzee mumbled to Karkat.
"I think it's because likes yo-pie! He likes pie..." Great recovery.
Gamzee stared at him for a moment. "I can't even..." He grumbled as he walked over to Tavros, who had his arms crossed tightly over his chest, staring off to the wall.
"Yo, Tav."
Tavros whipped his head around to see Gamzee. "Oh, hey, Gamz." He smiled and relaxed a bit.
"What's eating you?" Gamzee asked, skipping any other conversation that would have been brought up.
"What do you mean?" Tavros raised an eyebrow, tilting his head slightly.
"I mean, you've been acting weird lately..."
"What? Nothing's wrong." Tavros replied with a slight hesitation, putting on a fake smile.
Gamzee saw straight through it but decided to let it slide and pretend to believe him, smiling in return. "Okay, if you say so."
"Yo, Gamz!" Gamzee turned to the voice and saw Nepeta standing there, wearing huge shades, a backwards hat, a large jacket and baggy pants with a gold chain around her neck. Gamzee bursted out into laughter, along with Tavros and Karkat.
She smiled and flopped her arms around. "Yo! I will cut you bitches!"
Vriska tried to stifle her laughter, accidentally letting out a chuckle.
Eridan stared for a moment before walking back into the hall and dragging Feferi away.
"I'm a gangsta! You little shits bettah watch the fuck out! Because I'll keeel you all!"
"God damn it, Nep!" Karkat laughed as she threw gang sighs.
"This is great!" Tavros squealed as he pulled out his phone and began recording her.
"Oh, you're recording?" She used her normal voice, throwing in a giggle before deepening her voice again. "I mean-Fuck bitches! Where's Dave when you need to throw down some sick fires?"
"Uh...right here..." They all glanced to the door to see Dave, Rose, John, and Jade standing at the door.
Nepeta stared for a moment before walking up to him. "Sup mah bruthah!"
Jade had to walk away, knowing her laughter would be loud and rather violent.
"See, bitches be scared of me! Gimme dem bitches and no one dies!"
Karkat slowly got close to her. "I'll be your bitch." Of course he decided to be childish now.
Nepeta's face flushed with green, her eyes widening from behind the shades. Karkat chuckled and slid them off, setting them aside as he did the same with the hat, smiling at how cute she looked.
"You're adorable..." He muttered as he gently brushed his knuckles across her cheek before gently pressing his lips to hers.
She was a bit shocked at first but soon melted into the kiss. There was a round of 'Aw's before Karkat pulled away and stared into Nepeta's green eyes. She smiled and mewed, pawing at his chest. He chuckled and hugged her.
Gamzee glanced to Tav who seemed to be eyeing his arm, making him a bit uncomfortable. He looked to the new couple and reluctantly slid his hands into the pockets of his jacket, laughing as Nepeta climbed onto Karkat's back and grabbed his horns. "TO NARNIA!"
Everyone had to look away when she did that. Just thinking about, none the less, seeing it sent shivers down their spines.
Karkat squealed when she started rubbing them. "N-Nep! What are you-" She silenced him with her lips, smiling against his.
"C'mon, KarKitty! I know what I'm doing!" She replied happily as she climbed off his back, standing in front of him.
Karkat stared for a moment before sweeping her off her feet and running down the hall, her loud giggles becoming more distant.
Gamzee laughed and rolled his eyes. "Well...now what?"
Tavros chuckled and shrugged. "Anyone else wanna get together?"
Gamzee wanted so much to say something but couldn't. He decided to just stay silent. He glanced over to Tav who was now holding his hand, indigo flooding across his cheeks.
"Gamz...can I talk to you...in the hallway?"
Gamzee nodded as he was led into the hall, closing the door behind him. "What's up?" He asked with curiosity.
Tavros took Gamzee's hand and slid the sleeve up to reveal the cuts on his wrists. Mandarin tears pricked at Tav's eyes as he stared at them. "I'm sorry..." He mumbled as he hung his head, lightly tracing his fingers along the cuts.
"T-Tav..."
"Don't..." He interrupted. "I know what you're gonna say...I'm sorry for not being there...I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you..."
"Tav, there was no way for you to be there!"
Tavros whipped his head up, face drenched in tears. "Gamzee..."
Gamzee's indigo eyes widened at the sight. "Tavros...please don't cry..." He whispered as he hugged the low-blood. "It's not your fault..."
Tavros cried into the juggalo's chest, gripping his jacket. "I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..." He kept mumbling through his sobs.
"Tav..." Gamzee muttered as he rubbed small warm circles into his back. "Please don't cry. It wasn't your fault. It's mine."
-It's my fault you weren't there.-
