wALK,, Chapter 3"Awh man Tavbro, wassup?" Gamzee stood on the balls of his feet, slightly crouched. He had a bottle of grape faygo in his hand. Purple really was his favorite color, wasn't it? There was a smile on his face, a little goofier than his usual smirk. My heart was racing. "N-nothing just out for a walk. Couldn't sleep." Gamzee rocked a bit in thought. "A walk huh?" Then he giggled. Something about him was off, I couldn't place it though. He stood slowly and glance at the tree I was standing next to. With a leap, he landed on a thick branch, then jumped to the ground. He stumbled and giggled again. "G-Gamzee is there something wrong?" I reached out
wALK,, Chapter 2I saw his eyebrows arch a bit, and he crained his head back to see what I had been talking about. "Eh? Oh you mean the Gand Deck? Yeahthat motherfucker is kind of pricey." He stared blankly at it for a moment, before smiling and reaching for it. I watched him nervously.He rubbed the front of the silvery package softly. "Hey bro, Tav, come with me man." He dropped the box in my lap and quickly wheeledme to the front, catching the attention of a few kids from school. "G-Gamzee I-I-I-" Before I could finish, I was behind the counter withhim. Shoved next to a rather irritated looking guy my age. He glared down at me and wrinkled his nose.
wALK,, Chapter 1I had never been much. My entire life revolved around myself and my father. Dirt poor. With hardly anything to our names. A few yeas ago I got into a terrible accident on a field trip, and lost my legs. My father spent every last penny on buying me new legs. Ever since, we've had nothing but each other. Even with my loss, I developed like any typical boy would. I loved video games, well, any type of game really. I was especially fond of Fiduspawn. It was a little childish, but i never grew out of it. To my joy, they were opening a new store around the block of my somber little neighborhood. I had managed to save up enough money to at least
wALK,, Chapter 6Chapter 6"Woah motherfucker what are you doing?" Gamzee appeared into the light of the back patio. I sighed with relief. "G-Gamzee you startled me. I thought you were a m-mugger." I chuckled at my silliness."Pfftaw bro. A mugger? Naw." He stopped in front of me and smiled widely. "Mind if I chill here for a bit motherfucker? House is locked. I can't all up and get in."My eyes drifted to the door. I wasn't so sure about having Gamzee inside. My house was nothing compared to his Not only that, but I had disobeyed my father and gone out when he told me to stay inside. He was probably furious with me."Uhh.."I felt his hand touch m
wALK,, Chapter 4I awoke the next morning in my bed. I jolted forward. "G-Gamzee?!" My eye scanned the interior of my room. My heart was racing in a panic. Where was Gamzee? How did I get home? Was it a dream? There was a knock at my door and I felt my heart leap into my throat. The doorknob turned slowly and the door was pushed up."Morning Son,"It was my father. I sighed shakily. My father was a rather tall man, slim but muscular. Whiskers covered his strong jawline. He was known for clenching his jaw tightly when he was upset. Today he was sporting a white polo and black slacks, and dark brown dress shoes. I was hoping my dad wouldn't notice my panic.
wALK,, Chapter 5Sollux walked me to Karkat's house. He'd been to the gas station to pick up some of Karkat's favorite red candies. I explained what had happened last night, and expressed my worry for him. Sollux nodded along with my explanation, commenting here and there on what he thought might have happened. Chances where that Gamzee was either at home, or with Karkat. The two didn't live too far apart. That was a relief. My legs were killing me. They weren't meant for so much activity.Karkat's house was nice. The paint was dull, but the lawn was decorated nicely. Karkat's mother sat on the porch and sipped lemonade. She was reading a magazine. "How to
wALK,, Chapter 10The cupcake was sweet and soft, with traces of orange flavoring melded with vanilla. It was one of the best things I had ever tasted. Gamzee bit into another one and sighed aloud. "This is so motherfucking legit man.""Yeah, this is uh, really good Gamzee."He chunked the empty cupcake box in a nearby trashcan and licked his lips. I felt my spine tingle. "Where to next bro?" His head swiveled side to side. "Oh bro look at that!" He pointed to a store called "Love Shack" The name made my stomach flip. My eyes followed the direction of his finger as I timidly ate the last bite of my cupcake. Through the door-less entrance I could see somethin
wALK,, Chapter 9Chapter 9Gamzee and I had browsed through several stores on the first level. There wasn't much down here though, just a bunch of kiosks and booths with obnoxious salesmen. It was well into the afternoon now. I could see the sun shining brightly through the sky panel windows. There were clouds splayed across the sky, growing heavy, and showing signs of rain. The thought of rain made me happy. We needed it badly here. I honestly couldn't remember the last time we had gotten a good rain. We headed to the escalators. Gamzee hopped up on the opposite one, walking on it backwards but didn't move. He had his hands tucked into his hoodie, and the c
wALK,, Chapter 7I had to scarf my pancakes down before we left. It made my stomach hurt a bit as we walked along a strip mall to browse. So far I had found a nice pair of comfy house sandals. They were so much easier to get on and off than tennis shoes. Dad bought a few ties and cuff links for his work suits. There wasn't much around here on this side of town, but the FiduSpawn store was right around the corner. I was anxiously waiting to go see Gamzee. Dad decided to try on a few golfing hats. I stood there with an antsy feeling crawling along my spine. Dad took the hint, we left. I had barely gotten through the door before I was slammed into the wall in
wALK,, Chapter 8My dad decided to drop Gamzee and me off at the mall. He said something about paper work. He'd pick us up later. Gamzee wrapped an arm around my shoulders as we walked into the mall. Chattering happily about a prank he pulled on Karkat. I couldn't help but laugh, it sounded pretty funny. I wish I had been there to see.We walked into the first store we came across, a Walden Books. Gamzee pulled me to the back of the store and started browsing through random books that were on sale. I stood beside him and dug through the young adult section."Pffft-tt "I look up. Gamzee had his hands clasped over his mouth, and he was drastically tryi
wALK,, Chapter 13 Part 1It was almost as if my heart had managed to leap from my chest and soar up into heaven. Had I heard him right? I could feel my body swooning next to him."I mean it bro. Motherfucker, I've loved you for a long time."My head was swimming. Gamzee Makara loves me. ME. Me of all the people he could choose from. I was overwhelmed with several emotions, I couldn't decide on how I wanted to react. It was then I felt something wet on my cheeks. Dammit."Woah, man, fuck, don't cry bro I'm sorry!"He reached up and wiped a tear off of my cheek before weaving his fingers through the top of my hair, around the back of my hand, where it eventually ro
Natural Reactions Chapter 1Tonight was a night that he dreaded every month, but yet savored it in every way possible. There was a unique love for this fear that almost made him believe he was a masochist, and the fact that his best friend encouraged it, made him love it even more. Tonight was movie marathon night. A little event he hosted at the end of each month when his best bro came to visit for a few weeks at a time. Tonight's theme was zombies. The Walking Dead, to be exact. Gamzee wasn't one to be scared too easily, but zombies were a different story. The possibility of and actual epidemic such as a zombie apocalypse was unfathomable to most, but Gamzee had his o
