Hello, Network. Why don't you tell me about your monsters? Whether they're real, fictional, or people so horrifying that they're considered monstrosities.
[definitely not expecting that. he'd expected maybe some broken fingers, or getting a knife in the hand at the very worst - not tender hand holding. the flush of magenta in his cheeks is unavoidable, and embarrassing. he looks away from Gamzee, irate.]
Don't be fuckin' stupid, you're as much of an assblooded dirtscraper as the rest of 'em.
[not letting go of Gamzee's hand, though, because physical affection is rare and precious for ronery losers like him.
[He sees that and since Eridan's still holding his hand he's definitely going to keep his hold.]
Nope, we're still motherfuckin' in having that best motherfuckin' blood a motherfucker can all be up at having. You're the one up at in motherfuckin' having the motherfuckin' quasi-royal jokeblood up at in here.
[Gamzee's still glaring directly at Eridan for the thinkpan comment, but at least it's only for a few seconds.
When he speaks he's smiling.]
I up and got these motherfuckers from after I subjugglated Equius. Nepeta up and motherfuckin' all attacked my own-motherfuckin'-self. I all caught her at in on mid-pounce and up and broke her arm before she all hit the ground.
Didn't motherfuckin' all want her to get at in being disappointed or any motherfuckin' thing, though, and I all still had to up and motherfuckin' make shit funny. So, I all dragged her claws all on at my face while wearing the biggest smile I all could. Then I motherfuckin' all clubbed that cat at into kicking the wicked shit.
[the hand-holding ends when he digs his nails in, because too much sentimentality and he'll just get awkward. and then Gamzee will probably laugh in his face or something.]
Would it be worth wearin' your fuckin' greasepaint for the rest a the day again? 'Cos that shit don't come off.
[Good thing that wasn't the metal hand or that might have hurt for Eridan. As it is Gamzee still can't really feel it though and won't notice it being too bad until he has blood trickling down his fingers, so he's just going to give Eridan a much tighter hand hold if he doesn't pull away.
Speaking of metallic hands though, Gamzee's right arm is awkwardly moving behind Eridan in an attempt to pull him in even closer still.]
You already got your understanding on that's it's at worthwhile.
[he tangles his free hand in Gamzee's hair, leaning in and , for the most part, closing the distance between them. however, Eridan doesn't make the first move - he waits, to see if Gamzee will.]
wait no this is my tsun tsun icon

[making eye contact again! it's with a flat glare. then his focus sort of drifts off from Gamzee's eyes and onto just his regular face.]
Where'd you get those scars, anyhow? You newer told me.

I like 'em.

[Grinning and stepping in a little closer.]
You could all get at looking a little closer in on them.
no subject
Yeah, maybe.

Then he makes his move. The kiss he goes for this time is no less blundering than the first, but it is something much gentler than its predecessor.
Well, as gentle as it can be with his teeth and inexperience.]
