Gamzee stretched out on the floor, only a blanket cushioning their back. Their hair flows out from their head like a cloud. Equius has her knees pulled to her chest, staring at Gamzee. Her ponytail cascades down her back, Gamzee's eyes tracing its path. Sweat drips down her face, Equius dabbing it off with the towel beside her.
"What's up with you bro? You got all quiet and shit outta fuckin' nowhere." Gamzee asks.
"Nothing is the matter, highblood. I am simply grateful to be in your presence." Equius feverously dabs at her forehead.
Sitting up, Gamzee's face is placed about 2 inches from Equius'. They peer at Equius, her eyes drifting away from their gaze.
"Alright, if you say so brother. Gotta respect a motherfucker's words and shit you know?" Gamzee shrugs, staying put.
"...I want to kiss you..." Equius mumbles.
Gamzee pauses, "What'd you say? Your kinda mumblin' on me man."
"I want to kiss you!" Equius turns away immediately after.
"Whoa, like for real? With me?" They point at their chest, mouth agape.
Equius nods timidly, covering her face as she looked to the side. Gamzee grabs her hands in their own, before moving one of them to cup her face. They turn her head towards themself gently, gazing tenderly into her eyes. Her eyes flicker over their features, gently closing as they lean into her. Gamzee throws one arm around her shoulder, pulling her into them as well.
Fireworks sparkle in the back of Equius' brain when they finally kiss. Her bloodpusher felt about ready to explode from how hard it thuds against her chest. She froze, unsure of what to do. Gamzee pulled away a bit at the lack of reciprocation. Equius pushed into them, wrapping her arms around their waist carefully. The shared breath between them was warm with love floating through it.
Gamzee's chest brushed against Equius' own as she moved her legs under her. Gamzee felt as if she couldn't be close enough to her, wanting to practically be inside the other's skin. The rhythm of their bloodpushers synchronized, Gamzee almost able to feel Equius' underneath her shirt.
The two pulled away from each other only momentarily, laughter bubbling up from them and into the kiss. They smiled into the other's lips, sunshine beaming from both of them. It felt like hours went by as the two sat with each other, with the breaks only lasting for as long as they needed to.
Eventually, they part from the kiss for the final time that night. Gamzee lounges back down, gesturing towards the other. Equius grins nervously, laying against them. Gamzee holds onto her tightly, their breath evening out. Equius' hands rest against their chest, afraid to hold onto them too firmly. Her own vision fades into the rising daylight, not caring for the possibility of nightmares as she slept away from the recuperacoon.
