[So red now. Fuckfuckfuck]

Yeah. I liked it.

[mo_cara]

[Oh! Good! Gamzee's face brightens, and he smiles, though he's just a little bit red, too.] Hell yeah! You're pretty fun to be kissing, too. I don't think you got nothing to be worrying about, you know, whenever you end up hooking up.

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur stares for a moment, then just.. puts his head in his hands]

Canwepleasetalkaboutsomethingelse.

[mo_cara]

Oh! Sure thing, bro. I just thought you should know. That you're good with the lip and tongue action, I mean. We can be talking on whatever you want!

[rule_britannia]

Gamzee would you just--!

[Oh, okay, he's stopped. Good. Arthur feels a little light-headed, probably thanks to all of his blood being in his face rather than in more vital areas. Arthur pushes a hand into his pocket, and pulls out the twist of paper that the other boy had given him]

What exactly is in this? And if you say 'motherfucking tea' I will brain you, I swear to god.

[mo_cara]

... but it really is. I wanted to be making something you could have. I added some shit, but nothing ... you know, nothing that would get you high, just to make it taste a little different. And sometimes tea smell be reminding me of you.

[rule_britannia]

.. Oh. .. Thanks..

[He twirls the thing between his fingers, then reaches over for his bag and tucks it carefully into one of the pockets]

.. What the bloody hell are you doing thinking about me, you soft git.

[mo_cara]

You're my friend! I was missing you. [relaxing a little, and rubbing the back of his neck absently] And thinking it was gonna be pretty sweet once we were in school again, so I wanted to make something what reminded me of how much I like you. [beams]

[rule_britannia]

[It's hard not to smile in return to that grin, and Arthur does]

I missed you too. You had me worried, you know.

[mo_cara]

Me? What's there to be worried about me? [wiggles his fingers and kicks one foot lazily up onto the seat next to Arthur] I be fine as fine!

[rule_britannia]

Gamz.. you know damn well why I was worried, don't play the fool.

[mo_cara]

[But ... he really doesn't.] I kept talking to you, though, my brother, so you wouldn't have to!

[rule_britannia]

That doesn't really alter the fact that you were about to cut yourself off from everyone just because of a.. Oh, never mind..

[He flicks the back of his hand against Gamzee's foot and looks away from him]

[mo_cara]

... I just don't like everyone being all mad at me. [looking down at his knees briefly] I didn't mean to make you all be worrying. I knew I'd be seeing everyone ...

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur chews on his lip. His first instinct is to snap, but he knows Gamzee won't really understand why he's being shouted at. So, he's quiet for a few minutes, watching the countryside roll by. When he speaks, it's quiet]

I know you didn't mean it, but that's what friends do.

[mo_cara]

... do what? [sounding bewildered now]

[rule_britannia]

[Facepalm]

Worry, you bloody pillock.

[mo_cara]

Oh. [Yeah, he guesses that's true. The lanky boy sits up and leans over, grabbing Arthur's hand and squeezing it unselfconsciously, like boys just do things like this all the time.] Then thank you. But I'm really okay.

[rule_britannia]

[Oh yes, boys do this kind of thing all the time. At least, Gamzee does, so it's fine. Mostly. Arthur's fingers twitch]

I suppose I'll believe you.

[mo_cara]

[laughs, his smile growing teasing] Is it so motherfuckin' hard?

[rule_britannia]

[Arthur brings his other hand over both of theirs and clasps firmly]

I would be utterly amazed to even find that you are capable of lying, Gamz.

[mo_cara]

Ain't we all in the same House? I can lie. [he chuckles, though really he doesn't very much, or he lies by omission] I guess I ain't much finding that's good for friends, though, 'cause what if I get found out and then all the brothers feelings is hurt? Straight up truth is mostly better.

[rule_britannia]

And that's exactly why I like you.

[He grins crookedly. Hell if he can remember how they ended up as friends but that, right there, is why he doesn't simply tolerate the younger boy]

[mo_cara]

Nah, you like me because I am motherfuckin' fine as shit, and can spin the ill rhymes, plus my sweet sense of style. [grins back, and mimes straightening non-existent lapels]

[rule_britannia]

Well, they factor in somewhat as well.

[There's a small, honest smile at that]
