Status: ~~inevitably murdering my inbox and making me cry~~

[ Twilight fades into the darkness of evening, and a whole gaggle of trolls are up on the island to camp out for one very big reason.

One big, angry, honking reason.

But general terror of the Grand Highblood aside, they're still fairly functional in-so-much as trolls ever are. And that's where the shenanigans come in. ]

[Equius watches Gamzee do it, taking note of the angle of his arm when he cocks it back. He bounces the stone in his hand a couple times, and tries again.]

[And the stone sinks again.]

What am I doing wrong?

[Gamzee pats him arm.]

Who the hell knows, man. You just gotta keep trying it until you get it and it feels right.

[Gamzee has no idea what makes rocks skip sometimes and why they don't at other times. He doesn't think about angles or weight or speed, he just throws.]

[Equius tries it with a few more stones, and they keep sinking. Finally, on the fifth one, it skips once before disappearing beneath the waves.]

I did it!

[Shock!]

[Gamzee bumps his shoulder into his, grinning widely.]

See! Just gotta keep the fuckin' faith.

I guess so.

[Equius takes another stone and tries again, and this one skips twice before sinking.]

[Gamzee watches him happily, eventually chucking another stone himself, but he doesn't even mind when an oncoming wave immediately knocks his stone under water. Even with what is going on regarding his ancestors, standing here, shin-deep in the water is comforting.]

[Equius tries with a few more stones, and he's skipping about half of the ones he tries now. He selects a fresh one, really cocks his arm back, and puts some zing behind this one...]

[... and the stone, STRONGLY thrown, skips wildly across the water, all the way out to the barrier that encloses the island, hitting it with a soft whump and bouncing back, making it halfway to them before sinking.]

Whoops.

[Gamzee felt the gust of air caused by that stone flying forward, his eyes widening as he watches it soar out far over the ocean, almost so far they can't see it anymore, and then suddenly that whump of the barrier and it flies back.

But really, it is Equius' whoops that did it.

Snorting, he then just dissolves in helpless laughter, wrapping his arms around his belly as he squeezes his eyes shut, wobbling a little on his feet. That had been hilarious.]

[... okay, nothing broke, and Equius can see the humor in the situation now. He doesn't dissolve into hilarity like Gamzee does, but he makes an amused little hmmph noise and the corner of his mouth quirks upward in a grin.]

Guess I should rein it in a little, huh?

[Gamzee hiccups with laughter, pulling on his arm a little.]

Do it again.

[It is fun to have fun with Equius' strong thing for once.]

Okay.

[What his matesprit wants, his matesprit gets. Equius bends over, scooping a handful of rocks off the ocean floor. He straightens, selects a big one... and WHAM! He throws it hard at the barrier, and it bounces almost all the way back to them, sinking into the waves about twenty feet from where they're standing.]

[Gamzee whoops with glee, his eyes shining as he stares out into the distance, fixating on the smooth ripple each time a stone hits the barrier.]

Again.

[Equius obediently keeps chucking rocks at the barrier and having them bounce back. He can't quite seem to get them to bounce all the way back to them, however, no matter how hard he throws them.]

I bet if Dadleer tried this, he could get the rocks all the way back onto the beach.

I bet. But I ain't here with that motherfucker, I'm here with you being, and you're doing just fuckin' amazing.

[Gamzee grants him a smile, before he goes back to staring at the barrier and thrown rocks. No comparisons here right now. Just them.]

[Equius wasn't really trying to compare himself to Darkleer! Not this time! He was just commenting.]

[He glances over, catching that quick smile before Gamzee looks back to the barrier, and he bends down and plants a quick kiss on his cheek before flinging another rock and watching it bounce back.]

[Oh is it time for kisses, huh? Well, Gamzee can be cool with that. He doesn't even catch that rock bouncing back anymore, cause instead he straightens up to press a kiss to Equius' cheek himself, leaving a dark painted lip print there.]

[If it's kisses time, then Equius has completely and totally forgotten about the rocks! He turns to shyly catch Gamzee's mouth with his own, his hand opening and all the rocks inside it falling out and disappearing beneath the waves.]

[This is the best time. Gamzee wraps his arms loosely around him, leaning in to kiss him. After a few moment of that, he reaches for Equius' hand, guiding it up to his head, helping him lay it against his now short hair.]

[Oh, Equius likes that! Gamzee's hair is all rough and bristly beneath his palm, and he likes it even more that his matesprit knew to pick up his hand and run it through his shorn locks.]

[Hey, after a while of living with a guy and making out with him, you learn to pick up those kind of cues. Even Gamzee does.

He happily, sloppily, rubs clown paint all over Equius' mouth, dropping his own hands again to wrap around his waist, leaving Equius' hand to rest against his head.]

[Good thing they're standing in the ocean then, so Equius can wash off his face later!]

[Equius happily kisses back, a deep purr rumbling up from his chest, his hand still on Gamzee's head and feeling those little bristles on his palm.]

[Yes, they are sure standing in an ocean.

Gamzee's lips quirk a little against Equius', mischievously, before he snakes a foot around Equius' ankle, giving him a playful shove. THAR HE GOES.

really.

any minute now.

Damnit, being silly and playful and spontaneous is really hard when your boyfriend is about as hard to move as a mountain.]

[Equius glances down for a minute, confused. Why did they stop kissing? And why is Gamzee pushing on him?]

[Ooooh, he gets it! Horseplay! Gamzee's trying to play with him!]

[In a reaction that's only delayed by about ten seconds or so, Equius goes pinwheeling backwards into the water.]

haha, no calf action for you today, Gamzee!

someday. SOMEDAY.

we can only hope

1/2, hurry up with the icon packages, DW, I need my "flex" icon back!

2/2

be a winner, get a premium.

nah, I'll just wait for the icons

i need more icon packages. out of icons. situation critical

you're going to end up with like 800 icons, aren't you?

there is nothing wrong with 800 icons

I'll probably end up with a couple hundred myself

if you are going for a couple hundred, premium is prob cheaper.

yeah, probably /frets over natural cheapness vs. need to have 20 icons of Equius crossing his arms

It is not more expensive! Just paying everything in one go.
