['We're gonna go on a fuckin' date on monday', is what Gamzee had said somewhere on sunday. He hadn't named a time, and in fact, had spend most of his monday morning sort of lazing around, happily distracted by the reappearance of his mind bubble buddy, giving no inclination that he still remembered his words from the day before.

But somewhere around the afternoon hour, after lunch, he finally gets up from his comfortable spot, stretching, before he turns to Equius.]

Ready? Oh, wait, motherfucker. First, all like go and put these on.

[He digs through his pocket, finally pulling out a make-shift blindfold. It's okay, Equius. He's got this. ]

Comments

[420]

[Gamzee nuzzles his hand, kissing his palm for a moment --sorry about the paint there!-- before he curls his fingers around it and he steps aside. The horse is still there, craning its neck to check for more sugar cubes, and Gamzee makes use of that moment to gently guide Equius' hand against the front of the horse's head.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[It's okay, Equius is used to having paint all over him.]

[His breath catches in his throat as he feels the horse's soft, warm forehead under his fingers.]

I'm... I'm doing it.

[420]

And the motherfucker ain't hurt at all.

[Gamzee gives him an encouraging smile, slowly helping him move his head to pet the horse's head from the top of it down to the super soft nose.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Heh...

[Slowly, some of the tension in Equius' body starts to fade away, and he lets Gamzee move his hand down over the horse's face. The horse, in return, nudges its head forward when Equius' fingers brush across its nose.]

It's so soft...

[420]

Yep.

[Gamzee helps him stroke the horse' head a bit longer, before he coaxes the animal closer so he can help Equius stroke its neck.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[The horse, realizing the sugar cubes are a lie, decides that petting is okay too, and leans its head out to snuffle at their hair. Equius holds perfectly still, and having a horse blowing in his hair is just like having Aurthor back for a moment.]

I love you, Gamzee.

[420]

Huh.

[Sorry, Gamzee was a little busy there helping Equius pat the horse's mane. After a second or two he catches up to watch Equius said, giving him a sunny smile.]

Love you too, babe.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[And all is right with the world.]

This is the best date. You are the best matesprit.

[420]

[Gamzee lets go of his hand, so he can move over, pressing his mouth to Equius'.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Oh, all right, it's kissy time now.]

[Equius is more than happy to kiss back, and his hands stays suspended in the air, the horse rubbing its nose against it.]

[420]

[Silly horse is still thinking it can get some sugar cubes here. But nope. Cause the only person getting some sugar here now is Equius.

Gamzee lets himself sink into the kiss, and they kiss a lot, they really do, but it never really gets boring. He runs his tongue over Equius' bottom lip, over his snaggly fangs with a content, low sound.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius could kiss Gamzee forever. And kissing Gamzee while a horse noses at his hand? Perfect day.]

[Equius echoes Gamzee's happy sound, his eyes closed and his thought bubble an almost blinding shade of red.]

[420]

[Gamzee's thought bubble is red enough to match, looking oddly like that totally amazing lamp Karkat got him for that human Perigee's Eve thing. It even seems to be humming quite cheerfully.

Gamzee brings both his hands up to cup Equius' face, making a happy little sound as he continues to kiss him, coating his lips in a layer of dark grey, his eyes shut. This is good. He could do this forever. This is--

PONY NOSE ON THE BACK OF HIS NECK.

Gamzee yelps, nearly but not quite biting down on Equius' tongue when the horse, having gotten kind of tired of just nosing at Equius' hand, returns to its sugar cube hunt, checking the collar of Gamzee's shirt for any wayward treats.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius freezes at that yelp, afraid he's done something wrong and somehow ended up hurting Gamzee or the horse.]

[420]

Horse. Neck. Horse. Neck.

[Gamzee is twisting kinda oddly, trying to get the horse away from his neck. Horse. Horse, you are silly and you are a horse. You do not need to get to Gamzee's neck. There are no sugar cubes there and also it is sensitive. Seriously, horse. Knock it off.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Huh? Oh...

[Equius looks around and figures out what is going on. Okay, it's kind of ridiculously cute, seeing the horse nose at Gamzee's neck, but this is also a bit of a dilemma. He can't push the horse away, or really pull Gamzee away; how to get it to let him go?]

[After a moment's quick thought, Equius makes a rumbling, whickering horse noise, deep in his chest. It's the noise Aurthor always made at him when he was misbehaving and the lusus wanted his charge to stop.]

[420]

[While the horse noises do make the first horse stop and raise its head, staring at Equius, it only draws three other horses in, equally curious over what is making that noise, snuffing at Equius curiously as horses are wont to do. i hope. i don't know horses. why am i writing horses.]

no, that's totally what horses would do, you're fine

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Whoops. And suddenly Equius is in the middle of a group of horses, all snuffling and blowing on his hair. One even lips some long strands into its mouth and starts nibbling at them.]

[There is really only one thing to do in this situation. And that is to start giggling like a dumbass, because omg horses!]

Horses, kinda like trolls.

[420]

[Gamzee can't help but laugh either, giving Equius a good natured shove.]

Fuck, don't laugh, it's trying to fuckin' eat me.

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Of course, that shove doesn't even move Equius, but he barely notices, as one of the smaller horses has its nose right in his face.]

This is awesome.

[Between giggles, he makes a few more horse noises, quiet, reassuring rumbles.]

[420]

[Gamzee snorts in laughter when one of the horses snuffs his ear and even though his ol' Goat was way bigger than these tiny horses, the sensation does remind him of him. Enough, at least, for his bubble to fill up with the flicking images of the great while seagoat, as Gamzee reaches to grab Equius' wrist, and tries to shoes the curious equines out of the way. He needs a safe place! A place where horses can't come and snuff at his ears while he tries to make out with his matesprit.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius notices Gamzee's thought bubble and the images of the seagoat lusus. That's okay, his own bubble is full of Aurthor and, occasionally, a shadowy figure who looks a lot like Darkleer.]

[One of the horses whickers curiously, and Equius recognizes the sound as a question; it probably wants more sugar cubes. He nickers a response, and the horse, not liking it, stomps one hoof and snorts. But it's too late to do anything, as Gamzee is starting to lead him away.]

Where are we going now?

[420]

Gonna find a place just for us.

[Gamzee leads him along, peeking into the stables. It seems that all the horses are outside today --after all, it is a lovely day-- leaving the stables themselves blissfully quiet and abandoned.

He glances back at Equius with a grin.]

Ain't in the know about you, but I was fuckin' enjoying what we were doing back there.

[His thought bubble reacts again, and the images of his lusus are quickly replaced by him and Equius and them kissing and pressing together and kissing more in various states of undress. Though never quite naked.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Whoah, that... that is one very intriuging thought bubble. It's like porn, but porn featuring him and Gamzee. Don't mind Equius, he just got a little distracted and is busy STARING.]

[420]

[Please, Equius. It is pg-13, at best! There aren't even any missing pants.]

Uh, babe?
