Status: Closed. Unless you are nepeta stalking.


['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

[bestestfurrend]

[And now that she's fallen over her thought bubble is more visible, except it seems to have overloaded and gotten stuck on the image of Gamzee and Equius from her wall with a neon red heart flashing on and off above it.

A tiny, hard to hear 'oops...' is uttered at realizing she's been discovered.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[All right, that's pretty damn cute, but also pretty damn embarrassing, and Equius is just going to busy himself picking straw out of his hair. What, this is totally casual, shut up.]

[420]

[Gamzee just sits up, sitting squarely on Equius' stomach as he watches her, tilting his head curiously.]

You aight, sis?

[bestestfurrend]

I'm sorryyyy! I didn't mean to interrupt your date! I just wanted to see you having fun!

[She crawls into view now, looking rather bashful. Thought bubble still stuck on Gamzee and Equius.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

This is what happens when you make the shipping wall, Gamzee.

[Equius sounds more amused than anything, and he picks more straw from his hair, one corner of his mouth quirking upwards towards a smile.]

[420]

It's chill, it's chill. I didn't all do no fuckin' thang what I would be minding my peeps knowing about.

[That is to say, all that being mushy and loving with Equius? Totally fine with other people knowing. Now maybe if their make-outs had progressed a little further...]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta is just going to go over and drape against Equius' side now, picking out some more pieces of straw from his hair for him.]

You two are the cutest matesprits!!! Especially when you were petting the hoofbeasts together.

[stayb100ponyboy]

Gamzee helped me pet them. And then they tried to eat our hair.

[Equius relaxes, leaving the straw removal to his moirail. He's not particularly upset about their date being interrupted; he'd had a wonderful time petting horses, and now he's hanging out with his two favorite trolls in the world. This is a good day.]

[420]

Knew you could do it. You just hadda have the fuckin' faith to.

[He relaxes comfortably on Equius' stomach, really not bothered by Nepeta's presence. Moirails are important and it is important to him to get along with her. Besides, she was his friend, and considering what he would do to her in the veil... she really deserved better than that, more out of him.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Now that she's seen that they don't seem to mind her being there she relaxes and smiles brightly at them both, laughing and forgetting all about cleaning Equius' hair in favour of rubbing her face in it instead.]

Yes, yes, Gamzee's right! And I can't blame them about your hair, you do have furry nice hair. [Nuzzling it a bit more now, and then she sags against him for cuddles.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Thank you.

[Equius accepts the compliment graciously, then stretches out underneath them. It's like he's buried under a blanket of love, in a pile of sweet-smelling hay, and he think he could stay like this the rest of his life.]

[420]

You do.

[Gamzee can't help but agree with you there, Nepeta. Equius does have the best hair. So good in fact that he has to reach down and run his fingers through it, picking away a straw or two.]

[bestestfurrend]

The nicest everything.

[She adds to the conversation with a giggle, looking at him with incredible fondness. It means the world to her that not only didn’t they get angry at her for interrupting their date, but that they’re so obviously happy to include her as well. She takes up stroking the opposite side of Equius’ hair from the one Gamzee is paying attention to, really enjoying the way her moirail seems so relaxed and happy, and wanting it to last a while longer.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[What is this, Play with Equius' Hair O'clock? Not that he's complaining, mind you. Rather, he just closes his eyes and lets them toy with it, enjoying the feeling of their fingers running through the long strands.]

[420]

And the best fuckin' smile.

[Please. It's 'play with Equius' hair while gushing over him'-o'clock. Please keep up.]

[bestestfurrend]

Uh huh!

[Nepeta agrees readily, but she can't even think of anything else to join in with because he looks so peaceful and happy that she just has to wrap her arms around him instead and squish him hard - not that he'll really even feel most of it. She laughs and tucks her face against his neck and purrs loudly, as happy as a kitten with a ball of yarn out in the sun.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Go ahead and squish away, Nepeta, it won't bother him. Equius submits to their care for a few moments longer, then picks his head up and looks around.]

I have an idea. Why don't we go get some ice cream?

[If they lay here in the hay much longer, he's going to fall asleep.]

[420]

[Well, naps in the hay would be very nice but Equius just went and spoke the magic words there. Gamzee is so down with this you don't even understand.]

Fuck yeah, icecream!

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta would also have been perfectly okay with a catnap in the hay! But ice creaaaam. The word has her on her feet in seconds, attempting the impossible task of tugging Equius upright.]

Yes, yes, ice cream!

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius chuckles under his breath, then slowly, carefully stands up, trying to pull both of them up with him.]

Then let's go get some ice cream.

[420]

[Gamzee rolls off of Equius stomach, smoothly rising to his feet before slinging one arm around his shoulders. He leans in to press an impulsive kiss to his cheek, using his thumb to wipe away the paint left there.]

Lets go. Come on.

[bestestfurrend]

Yay!

[She grabs Equius's hand, attempting to swing their arms together back and forth before tugging him onwards enthusiastically. If they'd been on their own she'd probably have climbed him like a tree by now, but it seems right for him to have her and Gamzee on either side of him like this.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[If Nepeta wanted to get between them and swing, Equius would be completely down for that. But this is good too, having them on either side of him, and he lets them hustle and hurry him down to the nearest ice cream shop.]

[Which happens to be his favorite, since they have the best b100 ice cream.]

[420]

[Gamzee is happy to visit the shop with the best b100 ice cream. Any ice cream shop is miraculous to him with all those fuckin' flavours to choose from. How did they even all fuckin' find so many flavours, man? It was like a whole motherfuckin' rainbow of taste all exploding in his mouth.

He doesn't let go of Equius until they get to the shop, and then only before trying to manoeuvre them all through the narrow door would just be a recipe for disaster. Instead he untangles, pulling open the door to let them in like the real kind of proper gentletroll Mrs Brisby is always trying to make him.]

[bestestfurrend]

Thank you, Gamzee!

[Equius has taught her to mind her manners, after all. Between him and Mrs Brisby they may be gentletrolls yet!]

Oooooh, Equius, Equius, what are you having? [Like she can't guess.] Everything looks so yummy, I want it allll! [She clings to Equius's arm, eyes wide at the choices in front of her and sounding on the verge of panic - how does she choose?! Luckily Equius shouldn't be too worried, this is what happens every single time they come here for ice cream.]
