"Gamzee..?" Tavros asked as he slipped in the room. "are you better...?"

He laid there very limply. "Mmm..." Was his tired response.

He carefully walked over to Gamzee. "hey, hey, you okay?"

"I-I...I'm ok..." He croaked out, voice hoarse from yelling.

He walked over and sat next to Gamzee before hugging and petting the other's hair. "Shh..."

Gamzee made a soft sound and leaned against his love. "I'm ok..."

"I'm glad." he kissed the other gently.

Gamzee kissed back sleepily. "I love you."

"I love you too Gamzee" he nuzzled the other happily.

He pressed a lazy kiss to Tavros' lips.

Tavros laughed softly and pet the other's head. "Is there anything you would like...?" He then noticed the blood and stood to get a washcloth and bandages

He whimpered a little and tried to pull Tavros back to him. "I just want you."

"I know...." he cleaned the highblood's neck and gently wrapped the wounds. "There we go... that's better"

The chain jingled slightly and Gamzee winced. When it was done, he pulled the lower blood close.

Tavros gently nuzzled into the other. "Warm..."

He smiled. "I love you..."

"I love you too Gamzee"

"I'm so sorry for what happened." He whispered, looking a bit sad.

"Ah, don't be..." He smiled up at him

He shook his head. "Maybe one day I can be completely in control.."

"I hope so..." He nuzzled the other and kissed his cheek. "I'll help however I can."

Gamzee sighed, tears running down his face silently.

He looked up and wiped the purple tears away. "Gamzee..."

"Tav..." He sounded miserable, leaning into his friend.

"you don't need to worry my dear..."
