Goodies and trinkets and rumpets and bobs!

Location: The Hive of Inappropriate Touching and Hugs
Time: Backdated to Christmas morning
Style: STRONG and cLoWnY
Status: Closed

[Equius has been in Vatheon long enough to know that when the locals insist on you doing something, it's best to just listen and do what they say. So he dutifully hung up a stocking (a long, pin-striped one), although he's still not quite sure why, and made out with his matesprit under some mistletoe, and found some gifts for his friends. Then he curled up in bed like normal and went to sleep.]

[Which he still would be--asleep, that is--were it not for the sudden introduction of a heavy, feathery butt on his head and loud, excited kwehing in his ear. It seems the chocobos are awake and worked up about something.]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[Gamzee stares as the lightweight clubs tumble onto his lap. These are definitely not right for fighting with. They are far too light and delicate. One good smack, and you'll just have a broken club. Which is something Gamzee recognizes instantly. He might not have many skills, but he can juggle.

His fingers practically itch to use them (oh god how long has it been?) but rather than do that, he shoves them aside, and pounces on Equius, half on his lap, his arms tightly around his neck.]

I love it.

Yeah?

[Equius breathes a sigh of relief. He wasn't sure if Gamzee would like them or not; he'd been worried they'd stir up bad memories, which is why he deliberately made them as lightweight and cheerful as he could.]

I'm glad.

[Just wait until Gamzee uses them for the first time and sees the light feature!]

[He will just freak at that.

Gamzee hums faintly, nuzzling at Equius' cheek, for once not leaving smears of make up.]

Want yours?

[Awww, Gamzee remembered!]

I would.

[Honestly, though, Gamzee didn't have to get him anything. Everyday with him is a gift.]

[Gamzee digs into his sylladex, pulling out two things. One bag he drops behind his back for now, while he presents Equius with the other thing first. He didn't even bother to pack it. He figured with Equius' strength that would just be unfair.

Also he tried and got caught up in the tape and had to be freed by Darkleer. Embarrassing stuff.

The box he has contains a number of DVDs. The title Rowboat Wars is portrayed quite proudly on the front, though the actual pictures on the box show more robots battling than any sort of shipping vehicles.

The other thing he will give in a moment. This is mostly because he honestly hadn't been able to choose.]

[Funny, Equius had to ask Darkleer for help getting Gamzee's gift wrapped. Even with the older troll's assistance, that shoddy job was the best they could do. Folding paper is just not meant for STRONG trolls.]

[Movies. Movies about robots. Movies about robots fighting each other. Equius' eyes, not hidden behind his shades, light up and a big, spontaneous grin spreads across his face.]

These are amazing! Thank you so much.

[Gamzee figured he'd like them! And hey, he's getting something out of it too. He bets Equius wouldn't mind some wicked cuddles while watching robots beat each other up.]

Got something else too.

[Equius would absolutely not be opposed to some cuddles while they watch robots destroy each other!]

You didn't have to do that.

[Not that it's not appreciated, mind you. Just a pleasant surprise.]

Hmm, close them peepers for me, aight?

Okay.

[Equius obediently closes his eyes and waits.]

[Gamzee quickly pulls the bag out again, first slipping the necklace with the Sagittarius symbol around his own neck, then sliding the one with the silver Capricorn symbol around Equius' neck.]

Aight. Done.

[When Equius opens his eyes, he doesn't notice the pendant resting on Gamzee's chest right away. He only sees his matesprit, who he loves and pities so much, and that's enough.]

[Then he sees the necklace.]

[Then he really sees the necklace.]

[Oh god...]

[Oh god...]

[Wait, he's wearing one too...]

[OH GOD!]

[That's... that's Gamzee's sign he's wearing. And that's his sigh around Gamzee's neck. They're wearing each other's signs, and that is a really big deal, that is like serendipity level stuff, and Gamzee wants that... with him?]

[The room suddenly feels too hot, and Equius knows he's probably pouring sweat, but he only has eyes for Gamzee. Carefully, with a hand that only shakes a little bit, he reaches out and lightly, gently, brushes the sides of his fingers across Gamzee's face. He really wants to wrap his arms around him and never let go, but this poor substitute will have to do.]

I love it.

[A pause.]

I love you.

[Gamzee leans into the touch, before leaning close, pressing their foreheads together.]

Love you too.

[Equius keeps his hand still, letting Gamzee lean into it, and when their foreheads touch, he smiles.]

Thank you. Thank you so much.

[He's never taking this off. He probably can't, because he'd break it if he did, but the point still stands.]

[Gamzee leans in to kiss him for a moment.]

Good. Weren't all sure if it wouldn't be too fuckin' much, you get? But it all felt right when I did go and found them.

It's not too much.

[Shyly, Equius nuzzles at Gamzee's neck.]

It's just right. It's perfect.
