"I don't like this...I feel useless..."

"Just give it time..." He said softly to his son. "The BrownBlood was crippled for years, but you made him feel worth while. Let him do it for you because it is true."

He sighed. "Tavros is cute though...I'm not cute...and so being crippled doesn't make me adorable..."

"I'm sure he thinks so... He is seriously in love with you." He sat beside Gamzee. "You've hurt him, and done so much, but he still thinks the moon glows out of your butt."

He turned away, face a dark purple. "Please don't remind me of that....it makes me realize I don't deserve him..."

"but you do though," he said. "you treat him as though he is the only thing in the world you care about. Anyone who loves someone that much deserves that person"

"No...I've hurt him so many times in the past...and been so much trouble...."

"son, relationships, even life is never perfect. There are mistakes, but you wok together to get through it. And it makes you stronger."

He folded his hands in his lap, looking a bit sheepish. "If you say so...I just hope I have him forever..."

"I have the feeling you will have him for a long time son" he said

He now looked dreamy. "If only I could have him forever..and we could have a simple, cute life...maybe with a cat and a little kid..."

"There are things that I know that you do not. Life works mysterious ways.

He blinked, taking a firm hold on his lustus, forming the cutest pout he could. "Tell me...? Pllleassse daddy?"

Falkor laughed softly. "Oh Gamzee, I can't do that..." he stroked Gamzee's head. "But you will have Tavros longer than expected."

He stuck his tongue out. "Bleeehh meanie~"

Falkor laughed softly. "I don't want to spoil your life's journey"

"If you say so Mr. Meanie pants."

He laughe softly. "I can live with that"

"Can you?" He grinned.

He nodded. "Of course I can"

He snuggled his lustus in the most affectionate way.

Falkor pet the other softly, avoiding the newly growing horns.

He hummed softly against Falkor. "You know, I'd love it if you were around a good bit now..."

"I will be... I'll be a good lusus." he laughed.

Gamzee frowned. "You've always been a good lustus.."
