Glorious Escapism Roleplay

[Oblivious to the company he had, the only sign Gamzee has heard Aradia was the twitch of his ears and the barely audible moan before he rolled to his side. Oblivious he was, for he was dreaming.

In his dream, Gamzee was laying on Goatdad. They didn't speak, for they didn't have to. They simply enjoyed actually spending time together. The beating of his Lusus' heart was relaxing to Gamzee, calming him down like no Sopor slime could. The thick, soft white fur was comfortable, and if Gamzee were not already dreaming, he could drift off here.

He'd first started sleeping outside when he was just two sweeps old, waiting in vain for his custodian to come back. He'd collapse, and the horrorterrors would scare him, but that didn't dissuade his vigilant waiting. His young mind figured that if staying in the Soporific Sludge was keeping the monsters at bay, maybe if he ate it, it'd have the same effect. Turns out he was right.

Before long, Gamzee would spend the day waiting for his Lusus almost three times a week, ignorant of the effects of his slime. He'd gotten addicted before he knew what addiction was.

Back in the waking world, the Highblood was still pretty much dead for all intents and purposes. Gog knows what that would be doing to Aradia's short fuse.]

[Her inability to elicit a response from the boy made Aradia frown. She watched him shift slightly, a smudged smile settling across his painted lips, and she wondered if he were ignoring her.
"Wake up." She snapped, her voice still quiet, but with more harshness in her tone. "We need to talk about what happened."

Still no response. Aradia was now frowning outwardly, watching Gamzee with near contempt. It appeared as though he spent his entire life knocking back slime and sleeping. She let her gaze wander up and down his slender form only once, before focusing on his lips. She still couldn't believe she'd kissed him. The mere thought almost repulsed her. Almost.

Gamzee flicked his tongue against his lips in his sleep, like some kind of strange creature catching flies. It made Aradia shiver. It was like he was trying to tease her. She eyed his soft lips once more, in a rather uncomfortable mix of disgust and longing. Perhaps she'd better kiss him again, to make sure it was -that- awful...

The sheer stupidity of that idea didn't really sink in until it was too late, and Aradia had already leant over the sleeping indigo-blood, her eyes closed and her lips only mere centimeteres away from his. She was making it hapen. Managing to stop herself before their lips met, she opened one eye, and was promptly greeted by another pair of wide, spacey yellow eyes gazing back at her.
"Hello motherfucker." Gamzee broke the silence, causing Aradia to stumble back in surprise, planting her rear in the sand.]

[His dreams and his initial grogginess upon waking meant that Gamzee didn't realise that it was Aradia on top of him, or that she was motherfucking kissing him almost until she was sprawled on the floor. A floor, as it happened, that he found himself sprawled on seconds later.

Panicking in a way that only finding the girl you hurt badly and nearly pailed with suddenly appearing on your face allows you to panic, Gamzee stood up and began to walk backwards, rubbing his head as per usual.

"Oh, hey bro." he began, not sure where to start. He'd wanted to apologise all day, but now that he had the chance, he didn't know what to say. Backing toward his door, he decided absconding was perhaps the best thing for now. Turning, he walked briskly toward the doorway forgetting that he was taller than it. The tips of his horns crashed into the doorframe, sending him backwards to his second trip that day to the floor.

"Motherfucking ouch." he moaned, resigned to his fate.]

[Aradia winced as she heard the dull thud produced as Gamzee's horns collided with the doorframe. She'd been expecting him to abscond, but -that- had been impressive. Feeling her hands twitch, she fought back the urge to initiate a facepalm x2 combo, instead slinking over to the indigo-blood anxiously. She didn't want to intimidate him. Not just yet, anyway.

"You're what humans would call a 'wuss'." Aradia smirked, but there was jest in her tone, much to her dismay. It was incredibly hard not to find the boy endearing, even if he was a no-good coward. She examined the look of confusion (hardly anything new) on Gamzee's painted face for a few seconds longer. "I'm not going to get angry at you, you know. Here." She outstretched her hand to help him up, forcing a friendly smile as her eyes scanning the ocean once more, merely in an attempt to avoid eye contact.
"I-I'm not saying I want to, um, reconcile with you or anything, but how about we..." She paused, trying to recall what Terezi told her. "... Go slam a cold drink, or whatever it is you like doing?"

'There's probably no other way to get an apology out of him.' Aradia thought to herself, still trying to convince herself that was her main motive her.]
