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

[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.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius flashes Gamzee a quick, private smile as he holds the door open. Then Nepeta is hanging off his arm and eyeing all the ice cream, and he tells her what he tells her every time.]

You pick the one that sounds the most delicious today, and we'll come back another time and you can try another one then.

[420]

Pick one for me too, aight?

[Cause really, Gamzee doesn't mind which kind of ice cream he is getting as long as there is indeed ice cream to have be gotten. With sprinkles. Lots of rainbow sprinkles.]

[bestestfurrend]

Okay! [She hugs him tight – Equius is the best in a crisis, he always knows what to do – and then rushes to press her face up against the glass in front of the ice cream.] That one! [She jabs her finger at a chocolatey peanut butter concoction. And then again at a bright berry swirl.] And this one for Gamzee! Does that one look good to you, Gamzee? And we want wafers and sprinkles and syrup and nuts on it! In a big cone!

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Because he is the best of them in a crisis--or at picking ice cream flavors--Equius goes ahead and translates excited kitty girl into an actual order for the locals behind the counter, then waits while they make it.]

Why don't the two of you go find us a seat? I'll bring the cones over when they're done.

[420]

[Gamzee gives Equius a playful salute, before he loops a brotherly arm around Nepeta to steer her towards the tables.]

Come on, you pick.

[bestestfurrend]

Over here!

[She snuggles against his side before tugging him to a booth wide enough for the three of them to sit side by side - well, she'll probably have to mostly sit in Equius lap, but that was her intention in the first place she doesn't mind!

When her moirail comes to join them he's going to find an excessively bouncy kitty troll waiting for him along with his matesprit. She's just so happy. This is the best treat ever.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Equius is wise to your plan, Nepeta, and slides in beside her, moving slowly to give her time to get into his lap. Then he distributes the ice cream or, in the case of Gamzee and Nepeta, the sprinkles with some ice cream holding them together. His own cone is a simple, blue swirl compared to the explosion of colors they have.]

Cheers.

[420]

[oh god it is so beautiful. Also delicious. Time to let his tongue go to town on that particular flavour sensation.]

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta scrambles into his lap and takes her cone from him, eyes going wide wide wide at the deliciousness in front of her. She takes a long lick of her ice cream.] Mmmm! This is the yummiest flavour efur! [Which is also what she says every time they go out for ice cream. And then, inevitably, Equius’s cheek is treated to just as long a lick as she’d given her ice cream.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

Nepeta!

[Grump grump grump, wiping at the side of his face with some napkins.]

You're going to get me all sticky!

[420]

Aww, lemme taste, lemme taste.

[Gamzee leans heavily against Equius' other side, because it is not like Equius needs dignity or anything, making eyes at Nepeta's ice cream cone. He even holds out his own cone.]

Trade ya.

[bestestfurrend]

[Nepeta just laughed and kissed his cheek right after he was done wiping it, somehow getting sprinkles both there and on her nose at the same time.]

Okay! It's really good, Gamzee, you'll like it! [Equius signed away all rights to his dignity once he chose these two as his red quadrant fills, honestly. He almost gets smacked right in the face with Nepeta's cone as she holds it out to Gamzee, and the small kitty troll leans forward to steal a taste of the proffered ice cream.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Just gonna lean back and let these two go to town on each other's ice cream cones...]

[420]

Oh, it is good.

[Gamzee licks the taste of Nepeta's ice cream off of his lips, before going back for a few licks of his own --and one very sneaky ninja lick of Equius'-- before he leans in again for a taste of Nepeta's.

Just shut up and sit back, Zahhak, and watch your matesprit lick things enthusiastically.]

[bestestfurrend]

It's the best. [Nepeta assures them of this but whether she's referring to her ice cream or his or else the sneaky lick of Equius' that she steals for herself - nearly bumping heads with Gamzee, as they seem to get the same idea at the same time - is up for debate.]

Try some too, Equius! [His options are to comply or to end up inhaling the cone she thrusts up at his face.]

[stayb100ponyboy]

[Sorry, were you talking to Equius? He was completely distracted by the sight of Gamzee licking things, and imagining what that indigo-tinted tongue could do, and what it'd feel like on other places, and now he's far away, thinking about the least sexy things he can because dammit, he's got his moirail on his lap and he does not need his bulge to get a mind of its own right now!]

[You know what's good for curing a burgeoning awkward boner? Getting an ice cream cone shoved halfway up your nose.]

Bluh!

[Said more in surprise than anything else.]

[420]

[Gamzee starts a little at the sudden bluh before he laughs, using his fingers to wipe away icecream from Equius' face, licking them clean then.]

Ain't thinkin' that's where it all motherfuckin' need to go at, chica.
