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.

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.

"Wouldn't miss this shindig for all the dope in Mexico," he announces, then lifts his head to sniff at the air. "Woah, what is making all those fine, stomach rumbling smells?"
no subject
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."
no subject
"What do you want me to do with these?" he adds, lifting the bag of presents.
no subject
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.
no subject
"I'm staying in your room, ain't I?" he asks. "I mean, if you want me in another room, that's cool, but I don't snore or nothing. How come you be getting your walk on all funny?"
no subject
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."
no subject
He glances back as they head up the stairs, blinking, then nods slowly. "Oh, yeah, okay. Is it all the rest of your family and shit?"
no subject
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."
no subject
"Oh, damn, no, because then they'd all be taking you to motherfuckin' secret government labs, like in the movies!" Gamzee exclaims, looking genuinely worried for a moment, but then he settles into another of his mellow grins. "It's easier for me, 'cause everyone's got it up in their pans that I'm just shithive maggots. Ain't no one at home who ever believes half the shit what comes out of my chute, anyway."
He sets his rucksack down on the floor, and then a thought occurs to him, and he glances up at Tavros, biting the inside of his lower lip. "Are they gonna be around all day? And ... outside and shit?"
no subject
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?"
... I totally read that at first as 'a boner popping here and there'. XD
"'Cause of your main Christmas present. It's magic, but I ain't wanting to get you in any trouble. And we should probably go outside for it ... maybe the roof?" he muses. "You'll see later, anyway."
Of course you did. }:P
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."

"It's a motherfuckin' sea goat!" he exclaims in delight as it hits him, and he wraps his arms around it, giving it an experimental squeeze and then grinning as the way the squishy, plush thing fits in his arms. He leaps to his feet and pulls Tavros into an engulfing hug, the goat squashed between their bodies. "I can't believe you had the making of it, that's so cool!"
no subject
"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."
no subject
"And you made this little motherfucker alive! If that ain't the most bitchtits of all Christmas miracles, I don't know what is," he declares, rubbing his cheek against the plush animal, then nuzzling at Tavros's cheek for good measure, grinning like a loon. "Damn, this is like the best present a brother ever done got!"

He moves over to his rucksack, still keeping the sea goat tucked up against his side, and rummages in the bag, eventually pulling out a small package. It's wrapped in Christmas paper, but Gamzee has gone in with Sharpie, and drawn clown faces on all the reindeer and Santas that decorate the festive wrap. Inside is a small bottle containing a potion that looks a little bit like liquid sunlight, rich and gold and thick, like cough syrup. He holds the package out to Tavros, smiling. "This is the big one, though."

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."
no subject
And then he's getting hugged and everything's okay again, so he wraps his arms securely around the smaller boy, chuckling. "Hey, I figure you'd be the one all appreciating it most, so it's what you deserve, you know?"
no subject
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."

"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."

It's one of Gamzee favorite things ever, to lie side by side with Tavros, with one earbud in his ear and one in his friend's, so they can share music.

Which all makes perfect sense to Gamzee, even if it sounds like idealistic nonsense to anyone else.
