GamTav - IN PROGRESS

Tavros smiled nervously and eagerly ran to the door to greet Gamzee Makara. Aradia gave him a quick thumbs up, and he smiled gratefully. He knew he was supposed to act professional, especially when celebrities were the ones he was working with, but he couldn't help but blurt out, "It's such a pleasure to be working with you, Mr. Makara! I'm such a fan...". He immediately blushed, and was about to apologize, but Gamzee quickly cut him off before he could, saying, "Nah, just call me by my first name! Are you the up and motherfuckin' gorgeous model I'll be working with?" His tone was relaxed, joking, and obviously flirtatious. Tavros bit his lip, embarrassed, and said, "N-no.. just the photographer! But wow, uh, thank you..."

He was, once again, a blushing, embarrassed mess. He knew he was overreacting, but it felt so much worse, he had really hoped to make a good impression. "Oh, how did I get into this mess?", he thought to himself. Just earlier this morning, he felt so prepared. He had woken up feeling refreshed, and his roomate and best friend, Aradia, had cooked breakfast for them. Tavros was raving about how excited he was to meet Gamzee Makara, and Aradia was intently listening. She knew Tavros had had a crush on the actor and model for the longest time, and she hoped things would go smoothly, or maybe that they would even get together.

Tavros had been talking while she was thinking, but it was all pretty much the same. Tavros continued, "My whole... somewhat short... career has been leading up to something like this! I practically just graduated college, my career as a photographer and videographer basically just took off, and now I'm called down to the studio, being told that I'm gonna be shooting for Gamzee!" He excitedly went on, "And I know it's really farfetched, but what if we, like... get acquainted! And become friends? Aaand become boyfriends? Oh my gosh our wedding is gonna be so great!" He giggled at the thought, and was embarrassed, but barely showed it. He was okay with being embarrassing in front of Aradia.

Aradia laughed with him and commented, "Well, you were right about it being farfetched, but you never know, things happen! But hey, I call maid of honor!" She giggled, then glanced at the clock. "Oh, Tav, we better get going! You'll be late... and so will I! Assistants have to be on time too!" She put their finished plates in the sink to be washed later, then said "Hey, let's take my motorcycle!" Before Tavros could argue that that might get his clothes wrinkled, or whatever, she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the elevator. It went down to the lobby of the apartment building, and then they ran outside, and hopped onto Aradia's motorbike, with Aradia in front, of course. Tavros knew how to ride it himself, he just usually didn't.

They soon arrived at the building where they both worked. They got off, and Tavros hugged Aradia, saying "Thanks for getting us here, and for the breakfast!" She grinned and replied, "No problem!" They walked inside together, and they had only been preparing for less than half an hour when Gamzee showed up at the door, and Tavros began making an adorable fool of himself.

Gamzee grinned in reply to Tavros's thanks, saying "You're plenty welcome, you could be a model yourself if you wanted." Tavros sheepishly nodded, knowing that saying thank you again would probably sound stupid. He began showing Gamzee around the studio, starting with his dressing room. He'd need to know where that is, the shoot was going to be going on for a little less than a week, they needed a lot of material for this month's issue of their magazine.
