Switching Places

Ch. 5: Lets make it work

~it is 11:42 PM, 13th of February~

Gamzee and I had played Mariokart all the rest of the day. He had seemed to have a good time, even though I had to teach him all of the controls again. At the current moment he was sleeping rather heavily on my couch. We had put his facepaint back on once we had gotten home and he seemed to relax greatly.

I sigh and start cleaning up the mess we made, gently taking the controller out of his hand. I was glad he was sleeping and glad he was home, I had just hoped he would be more active. I look up when the front door opens and closes.

"Honey 1m home~"

I chuckle some at that. "hEY RUFIOH,,,,"

Rufioh walks into my room and pauses when he sees Gamzee. "So you f1nally got /h1m/ back.....?"

I hesitantly nod some, "yEAH UHH,,,,,,HE CAME HOME TODAY~"

Rufioh rolls his eyes some at that. "maybe now you'll shut up about h1m and be yourself aga1n"

",,,,wHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?"

Rufioh leans lightly on the doorframe now, "1 mean that all you've talked about s1nce he got hurt 1s your 'prec1ous gamzee' and how your 'baby's hurt because of you'. K1nd of s1ck of 1t honestly."

"rUFIOH,,,," I cover Gamzee with a blanket, hoping he'll stay asleep all night. I stand up now and glance over at my punk of an older brother. I mean why does he need a red Mohawk? Much less three? "iVE BEEN WORRIED ABOUT HIM,,,,,,tHATS ALL,,,,,"

Rufioh rolls his eyes again and turns to head towards the kitchen. "As long as you two don't have loud as hell sex 1m cool w1th h1m stay1ng here ton1ght..." He starts walking off now.

I pause some at that then quickly get up to follow him "w-wAIT,,,,TONIGHT? yOU MEAN HE CANT STAY HERE LONGER?"

Rufioh doesn't even look back at me. "Of course he can't."

"wHY NOT?"

"Because you two w1ll have rough, loud sex l1ke usual and he's freak1ng dangerous." He starts nonchalantly looking through the fridge

I try to move so he will look at me "yOU BRING DAMARA OVER HERE ALL THE TIME! aND HES BETTER BEHAVED THAN HER!"

Rufioh sighs and looks at me now "Tav.....you don't know that anymore....."

",,,,,,yES I DO,,,,hES MY BOYFRIEND,,,,"

Rufioh just kind of shakes his head, "1ts k1nd of sad l1ttle man....."

I wrinkle up my eyebrows some "wHAT IS,,,,?"

"That 1 can tell that he's not the same and you can't......."

"hE IS THE SAME!,,,,iTS JUST,,,,"

"Just what?" Rufioh turns to look at me, squinting his eyes and critically looking me over. "He's h1t you already, hasn't he?"

"nO HE HASN'T!!" I raised my voice a little too much at that, so I quieted down some and tried again "hE HASNT HURT ME 'YET',,,,AND HE NEVR HAVE OR WILL,,"

"Well that's fuckin bullsh1t and you know 1t. 1've watched h1m and how he acts to you somet1mes"

I just cross my arms and turn away from him, marching myself right back to my sleeping clown. He'd only hit me maybe three times ever, and I'd asked for it...i guess. I move to plop myself down on the floor in front of the couch, leaning into gamzee as much as I could. He was snoring softly, drool sliding out of his mouth.

"yEAH RIGHT, LIKE YOURE A VICIOUS MONSTER,,,," I sigh and look over towards the doorway into the kitchen, Rufioh leaning on the frame, watching us. ",,,,,hES STAYING HERE,,,HIS APARTMENTS DONT HAVE AN ELEVATOR AND I CANT CARRY HIM,,,,,"

"......three n1ghts...that's all. He can't stay here." He just rolls his eyes and turns around to head back into the kitchen "and keep h1m away from my p1zza rolls. Those are m1ne and I swear to god 1f I go 1n there and they're half gone, 1m fuck1ng h1m up."

"nO ONE WANTS YOUR STUPID PIZZA ROLLS" I go to flip the tv from gaming to watching tv. I haven't watched much tv since the accident. I have so many shows to catch up on. Hopefully I'll have enough to distract myself from everything.
