Backdated to December 25th

WHO: Gamzee Makara, Tavros Nitram
TONE: Playful, light
RATING: PG-13 for language
WHEN: Christmas day
WHERE: The Nitram family farm
WHAT: Gamzee goes to spend the day with his bro!
STATUS: On-going

It hadn't been very hard to convince his da to let him go to Tavros's for Christmas. The man never seemed to know what to do with Gamzee when he was there, anyway, and they opened presents on Christmas Eve. He did insist the boy be there for Christmas morning mass, but after that, he was free to go.

So after a ride from his da, a floo trip, and then a taxi, he arrived at the farm Tavros lived on with his mum, bearing presents, a rucksack, and an enormous grin, excited to see his friend. He'd stuck a reindeer antler headband on through his mess of curly black hair, and the little bells on it jingled as he jogged up to the house to knock on the door.

The area is a wide open space with the small ranch nestled not too far from an expanse of forest. The snowfall has left everything white and glistening, the house is decorated with evergreen and earthy decorations, even the stables are festive with large wreathes on the doors. The place felt old but loved and well lived in, even before entering the house.

Tavros answers the door, eyes widening but not as brightly as his smile. "Gamzee! Hey! Come... come on inside!" He steps aside, purposely moving more stiffly than he really needs to for benefit of the muggle family in the house. Christmas was always one of his most favorite holidays, but this year was already the best.

Tav get's swept up off his legs but he doesn't give a single fuck about it. He clings to his friend, as much for a hug as it is for support. The whole house smells of cooking food. Ham, Turkey, and an array of other things. Bella Nitram cooks for an army whether there's an army to feed or not. "Merry Christmas, Gamzee! I'm glad, that you made it here okay."

That sweater sure is.. festive!

Tav is a bit more subdued, wearing a dark green buttonup over a shirt he thought was amusing and holiday appropriate. "Ma's been, uh... cooking for days is what. She's probably, going to try and send some of it home with you. She always does that."

Once he's steady again he offers to take Gamzee's hoodie to hang in the hall closet. There's a small group gathered, close family and ranch folk that are just as good as. "There are snacks set out, if you're hungry now."

"We can, uh... put them under the tree, for now. And put your bag in my room. Or, uh... in the spare room. If you would rather that, instead." Tav's ma actually wishes he would eat more like Gamzee. In her mind, he's always been way too skinny.

He starts down the hall towards the family room where a couple people are gathered and the tree is set up next to the fireplace, walking like he can't really bend his knees that well. It's closer to how he was when he first was learning to use the braces.

"Oh yes! Of course, if you want to. The fun would be greatly increased, I think, if you stayed with me. I just, uh... wasn't sure if staying with me, would make Shinra upset." So he leads Gamzee around the hall to the stairs, more excited now that the other boy wants to stay with him. Giddy almost, which is a silly way to feel, so he tries to ignore it, or at least the possible reasons for it.

He stops at the bottom of the stairs, glancing around to see if anyone was looking before heading up as he normally would, knees bending just fine, and he replies in a bit more of a whisper. "Everyone else here, are muggles and uh... to them I, probably shouldn't be able to walk at all. So I don't want to push it, too much."

"Haha, yeah. That would be... kind of silly, I guess." There was a time when the thought of doing something like that scared the living crap out of him, especially with Gamzee. Probably because he'd wanted to actually do that with Gamzee. He just hadn't been ready or able to accept that sort of thing about himself. He's not sure how ready he is now, but at least it's not something he's completely denying anymore.

Now he just... can't see his worth as a romantic partner. What scares him the most is being a disappointment, that if someone bothers to try they'll find out how pathetic he is. There's a reason he'd attempted to court who he did. Deep down he knew from the start that he never had a chance. A fake hope doesn't hurt as bad when it's lost because it isn't really there to begin with.

"Yeah, and uh... some people that work here, for my mom. They are like family too. None of them, know anything about anything." He grins up at Gamzee as he heads into his room. Scantily clad fairies and flying beasts still litter his walls, Pokemon paraphernalia all over the place. "Last thing I need, is someone alerting the news, of some miracle cure."

He does like girls! Liking girls has never not been a thing that is, and that's what confused him the most about everything. Along the way there's been guys that started to catch his eye and it scared him. It had seemed like such a huge and life changing thing with consequences he hadn't wanted to deal with. Still doesn't, honestly, but he might try for the right person.

Tavros flops backwards onto the bed and stretches, a bone popping here and there. "Nah. They'll, uh.. probably go after desert, I think. And it's too cold, to hang around outside." He pushes up on his elbows to look over at Gamzee again. "Why?"
littlefairybull: (71)

Of course you did. }:P

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-08 10:27 am (UTC)(link)
He perks up at that, smile growing excited. "We could do that or, uh... maybe go, in the stable. I did want, to show you the horses."

Tavros chews at his lower lip a moment, then rolls over and pulls himself to the other end of the bed so he can reach over and pull up a large and lumpily wrapped present. "I, uh... hid this one here, because it is also a magic present, that I made for you. But I think, that it is safe to open in here. That is, if you want to."

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-08 10:40 am (UTC)(link)
He wriggles himself to the edge of the bed so he could sit up again, then stands up and heads back over to Gamzee to offer up the present. It's about the length of Gamzee's torso if not more, and squishy, even through the paper. "It is, more than cool. I guess I am, really bad at waiting, when I have a present to give."

The moment the sea goat gets hugged it comes to life and starts nuzzling Gamzee back, rubbing it's snout under his chin and pawing with it's hooves, tail wagging happily back and fourth. Tavros laughs as he's pulled into it, and he clings to his friend as much for balance as he does just because he's happy.

"Mam taught me, how to sew and knit and things, when I first got hurt. So I, uh... had something to do, while I got used to only sitting."

Now Tavros is blushing all the way up out his ears, but he stays where he is. It's warm here. "I'm glad, that you like it. I was worried, you'd think it was lame because it's a doll."

"You don't seem to, uh... like going home so much. So I though I could make him, so it wouldn't seem so bad. Tinkerbull, helped me a lot when I needed a friend so I, uh... yeah." And this would be one of the many reasons why people think Tavros is younger than he is half the time.

He tends to pay more attention to the needs of everyone important to him than he does himself most of the time. There's part of him that still wants to be a hero with great confidence and bravado, but even the bravest of heroes start somewhere. Not that he really considers giving someone a doll to make them feel less lonely all that heroic. Not so much a great champion of the people. "There's still something for you, under the tree too."

Tavros takes the gift with gentle fingers, eyes curiously wide as he takes in the additions to the paper. He starts to open it, then stops and looks back up at Gamzee. "Should I, uh... open it now? Or did you want me to wait. I mean... if this is the one, you wanted to be outside for."
littlefairybull: (32)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-14 08:54 pm (UTC)(link)
He bites his lip, then starts carefully pulling apart the paper do it doesn't rip too much. Gamzee drew on it so that makes it special? He sets the paper aside and holds up the potion jar, eyes focusing on the liquid inside. He's decent at potions, but he doesn't recognize this one. "Woaah! What's it do?"
littlefairybull: (69)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-17 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
He looks up at Gamzee again, eyes going almost comically wide as his mouth drops open in surprise. His voice is quiet, like he couldn't believe it. "... Really?"
littlefairybull: (57)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-19 08:00 am (UTC)(link)
Dear and rare? What did he even do to make this?

There's a moment that Tavros actually looks like he might cry. He doesn't have very many friends and the thought that anyone would go through so much trouble just for him is mind boggling and he legitimately doesn't know what to do with the things he's feeling.

So he ends up closing the distance between them and hugging his best friend tightly, "Th-thank you."

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-20 07:46 pm (UTC)(link)
All he'd ever wanted was to fly, and the first time he flew on a broom he actually did cry a little bit. Which of course he got made fun of foor because everyone thought he was scared. Far from it though.

This is different. If the potion works it'll be like flying how he dreamed of flying and it makes his heart swell with all sorts of confusing feelings. "Deserve, is a big word. But, uh... I will definitely appreciate it. Love, I think, is the more appropriate term to use, in this case."
littlefairybull: (01)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-21 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Haha. Bull.

"Well I, uh... want you there with me, when I do it. If that's okay?" He has his best friend and he's going to get to fly, he can't remember the last time he felt this happy and content with life. "You're staying, a few days, right? If we can't go out tonight, we can take the horses tomorrow."
littlefairybull: (04)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-23 10:23 pm (UTC)(link)
"I think being able to see, would probably be a good idea yeah." Tavros moves away a few steps so he can put the potion in a safe place inside one of his dresser drawers. "Now I can't wait, for it to be tomorrow. "
littlefairybull: (61)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-25 09:17 pm (UTC)(link)
"That sounds like, a really awesome and amazing idea. That I will also be looking forward to." He grins and steps closer again, shoving his hands in his pockets. "It will be dinner soon. Ma and I, made enough for an army so... I hope you're hungry."
littlefairybull: (01)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-27 07:26 am (UTC)(link)
"Yeah. I've been cooking with Ma since I was small." He grins and starts to head back downstairs. "It's just a lot easier now, that I can walk again."
littlefairybull: (23)

[personal profile] littlefairybull 2013-01-27 11:39 pm (UTC)(link)
He starts hobbling again once he gets downstairs where the other people are. They're starting to pull up seats around the dinner table, so they're just in time. "Haha, you should eat doubles, of the things you like the most. Not because of who made them."
