♑ & ♌ | Let the winds of change blow over my head

[420]

Who: Gamzee (420 & Nepeta (bestestfurrend)
When: Backdated a little, closer to Feferi and Aradia's disappearance.
Where: Nepeta and Tavros' hive.
Style: These thingamabobs []
Status: Closed


[People went home sometimes. That just seemed to be one of those things you couldn't really avoid. Kinda like the moons --no, wait, it is moon now-- and sun doing what the fuckin' wished like and the way the tide would creep up and down the fuckin' sand kinda like it was all scratching it with lil' water claws, like the were best fuckin' buddies just giving each other a nice scritching-scratching.

But yeah, people went home sometimes, came back sometimes, stayed home sometimes. Seemed like nothing happy-making to just focus on that. Rather, wasn't it just better to focus on hanging out with your peeps while you could still fuckin' see them? That's what Gamzee thought at least.

So that is why he is here now, in front of Nepeta's hive. It's been a while since he and his most feelin-fine, feline of friends had gotten to chill together, just them. So clearly that made it a great time to. Maybe the wall needed some more work, or the plushie piles needed some drastic getting flopped down on, or who could even know what. Either way, he's sure they'd find some time to all spend time together.

Reaching up, he rings the hive bell, comfortably, patiently waiting.]

[The door doesn't open right away - Tavros is out and Nepeta is occupied, as is blatantly evident when footsteps finally patter up to the door and she sticks her head out, hair tousled and missing her hat and paint smeared over her cheek and nose.]

Gamzee! Hi Gamzee! [She bounces outside and into his arms in one graceful leap, laughing and holding on tight.] I haven't seen you in ages and ages and ages! Come in, I'm mixing up a new batch of paint! [Not that she bothers getting back down onto her own two feet. Gamzees are for carrying her around!]

[420]

You makin' it seem like it been sweeps!

[He laughs when she bounds into his arms, though he is used to it by now. His arms move automatically, wrapping underneath his legs to help keep her up. He might not be such a mighty force of STRONG as Equius, but holding up one kitty is surely something he can do.]

That does be sounding like some wicked pastime filling shit to do. Room for one more at your mixing schtick?

[bestestfurrend]

Hmmm. I'm not sure! It depends!

[She tucks her head beneath his chin and giggles, nuzzles on him affectionately. So much has happened in the last few weeks that it really does seem like it's been sweeps since she's just chilled out a bit with her best cuddlebuddy, and she didn't realize how much she'd been wanting to spend some time with him until she saw him there on the doorstep.]

Heehee, who purrcisely would be taking up the room fur one more if I said yes?

[420]

[He makes a happy enough noise when she nuzzles against him, though at her question, he makes a thoughtful noise.]

Aww shit, now there be some fuckin' question you got there. Who infuckingdeed.

[a pause.]

I'm thinkin' like Eridan probably totally wants in.

[bestestfurrend]

[She flails in his arms, accidentally bopping him one on the nose.]

Noooo! Gamzee, that's pawful! And not funny at all!

[420]

[Right in the honksnort!

He laughs, trying to keep her up despite her flailing.]

Awww, sister, he ain't all to being that fuckin' bad.

[bestestfurrend]

Well, maybe he's a little bit better than he used to be - but I'd still never let him near my wall!

[She clasps her arms around his neck again, looking mock-grumpy, lower lip sticking out in a pout.]

[420]

[He prods at her face with a laugh.]

Shit, if you ain't fuckin' watch it, your snout will all fuckin' get stuck like that, all harsh and grouchy like you be a brother's best friend.

[bestestfurrend]

[She pretends to try and catch his finger between her teeth, giggling loudly at him, her frown vanishing. It was too difficult to keep it up for long in Gamzee's company!]

And that would be absolutely pawful! Only Karkitty is allowed to ever be that grumpy. Gamzee, watch the paint!

[She may have just left trays and pots of it lying around everywhere.]

[420]

[He's watching it, he's watching it, his steps languid as he carries her into the hive.]

Brother might get all sorts of fuckin' frothy if he weren't the only motherfucker that fuckin' grumpy. Can't fuckin' beat Karkat motherfuckin' Vantas to a fuckin' grouch-off, you can't.

[bestestfurrend]

Nuh uh, I know I can't, I wouldn't even try!

You can set me down here! [It's a wide open space on the landing at the very foot of the stairs, the wall a brilliant white and just aching to be painted on.]

What colours do you want? I've got lots of them!

[420]

[If a wall is screaming for a fuckin' splash of paint, you can't just up and deny it that, no you can't. Wouldn't be nice at all.]

Uh... got any red? Like, the tightest sort of bright red is what I'm meaning here.

[bestestfurrend]

Oh yes! Of course! It's over there behind the brown!

[Nepeta sets to work once again, wholly focused on the bright shade of blue she's currently mixing up. She has a special painting in mind.]

[420]

Awesome!

[Yes, let him just bring that red over. Whoops, nearly knocked the brown over there, but he managed to catch it before it made a mess. Returning to her side with the red in tow, he glances over at the blue, his expression brightening a little. That is a very nice shade of blue, for sure.]

You gonna draw Equius?

[Equius is very blue, after all.]

[bestestfurrend]

Not just him! Now that Dad and Mister Psii are back, I want to draw a big picture of all of us together. Equius and you and Darkleer and me and Tavros and Lysunder and Signless and Karkitty and Disciple and Psii!

[She beams at him, getting more paint of her clothes as she waves a paintbrush around.]

It's going to be the best painting ever!

[420]

[That sure does sound like an excellent picture if he has to say so. Whole load of motherfuckers on there what he cares for greatly.]

That sounds like a motherfuckin' blast, chica, if I can all be saying so.

[bestestfurrend]

Do you want to draw some of them?? You can pick who!

[Because if there's anyone she trusts with putting his heart into his paintings, it's Gamzee.]

[420]

[He will definitely put his heart in!

His drawings will look like shit, but his heart will be poured in like fuck, man.

He thinks about her question for a moment, before giving a smile.]

Lemme do Darkleer? You do Equius, I do him. Then we both gotta do one of the motherfuckers.

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta thinks they will look great as long as there's lots of love behind them, oh yes.]

Okay! That sounds purrfect to me! You can have Dadleer and I'll take my meowrail!

[420]

[He peers at her container of paint.]

We gonna need a whole motherfuckin' load of blue. Bloo.

[Hehe. Equius is so quite when he says it like that.]

[bestestfurrend]

Bloo! [She chuckles.] Blooooo. [Giggling, hiding her mouth behind her hands.] Blooooblooooblooooooo! [Sorry, Gamzee, the word tickles her so much that she's just kind of sprawled laughing hysterically on the floor.]

[420]

[Because it is a great word. Especially when Equius says it cause he sounds silly as all fuck.] Bloo bloo bloo blohahaha.

[bestestfurrend]

[Don't mind her as she uses him to climb back off of the ground, still laughing hard before neatly tucking herself beneath his arm for hugs.]

[420]

[He wraps his arms around her in a good old hug, before leaning in, pressing his mouth just to her ear.]

Hey, Nepeta.


Bloo.

[bestestfurrend]

[She sinks into the hug, cuddling back and leaning in to hear what he wants to tell her...

...and bursts into hysterical laughter once again. Hopefully he's holding her up or she's just going to collapse all over again.]
