Today has not been a good day for Gamzee. It actually sucked ass tbh. He ran out of Faygo and when he went to go buy some more the store didn't have his favorite flavor. And when he got home he knocked over his bong and got bong water everywhere. Atleast the water didn't get in the side you put the pot.
He wanted to call someone over. He wanted to call over Equius. He wanted someone to talk to. He wanted someone to get high with. He goes on his computer to get on Pesterchum to Pester Equius.

CT: D --> I mean
CT: D --> I guess I could have 1 or 2 pot brownies…
CT:D --> It's not a very busy day for me anyways
TC: ThAtS tHe SpIrIt :0]
Gamzee logs off of his computer and starts pulling out some brownies, he had just 2 left, he could give one to Equius. He goes to log back on to Pesterchum to let him know he didn’t have to bring one but he already heard a knock at the door. How could he be here that quick? He goes and opens the door.
“ D --> What does a pot brownie do to you anyways?”
“It MaKeS yOu FeEl AlL fLoAtY aNd GoOd” Gamzee let’s him in. Equius takes his shoes off at the door, while Gamzee still has shoes on
“D --> Gamzee you should really take your shoes off in the house, do you have any idea how much bacteria tracks on the bottom of shoes?” He looks at Gamzee’s muddy sneakers in disgust
“OhHh ShIiIiIt I dIdN't EvEn KnOw ThEsE wErE oN aHaHaHa” He slips his dirty shoes off and puts them by his friend’s shoes
“Oh AnD bEe TeE dUbS i'Ve BeEn FeElInG sPaZzY tOdAy LiKe A bIt WeIrD sO iF i StArT fReAkInG oUt ThEn YoU sHoUlD pRoBaBlY lEaVe LaWl” Gamzee advises his best buddy ever.
“D --> Why would I leave you in a time of need?”
“It'S eMbArRaSsInG i DoN't WaNt YoU sEeInG mE lIkE tHaT lMaO”
Equius shrugs it off. “D --> I don't think I want to do a pot brownie”
“It'S aLl ChIlL! bUt If YoU cHaNgE yOuR mInD....” He waves a second brownie in his face “I gOt A sPaRe”
“D --> What do you plan to do with my company?”
“I dUnNo PrObAbLy JuSt PlAy SoMe GaMeS oR wAtCh A mOvIe Or SoMeThIn” Gamzee goes to his DVD stack. He decides that Big Money Hustlas is a good choice for a movie, whenever he’s sad ICP cheers him up, no matter how much he hates them they have some pretty good movies and music. He slaps the DVD in the player and waits for it to start. He pulls a beanbag up next to him. “WhAt'Re YoU dOiN jUsT sTaNdIn ThErE? pOp A sQuAt”. He pats the beanbag, signaling for his guest to take a seat
Equius sits down in the chair and patiently looks at the screen, waiting for the movie Gamzee picked out to start
“ThErE's TiTs In ThIs MoViE” Gamzee giggles, he sounds like a child
“D --> Is that the only reason you enjoy this movie?”
“NaH, iT’s FuNnY tOo”
Equius sits with his arms crossed watching Gamzee fiddle with the remote was so frustrating
“D --> Gamzee, let me try to get it to work” Gamzee shrugs and hands the remote over to him, he presses a button and the movie starts but there was a problem. It was at 100 volume
Equius whispers to himself while pressing the volume button, it wasn’t turning down, he had to get up from the chair and find the volume buttons on the back of the TV. Minutes of searching went to waste, there was no volume adjusters to be seen.
“D --> GAMZEE I CAN'T FIND THE VOLUME BUTTONS ON THE TV” He needed to speak up, but not quite yell, the sound of Violent J was awfully loud. He doesn’t get a reply from Gamzee, he looks over in his direction to see why he hasn’t responded. His face suddenly goes awestruck.
Gamzee has knocked the beanbag out of the way, he is now on the floor on his back with his hands on his ears, rolling around and groaning.
“D --> oh shit” He goes over to the man rolling on the floor, he grabs his arm. Gamzee shoves him away and yells, Gamzee throws the beanbag on top of himself. The beanbag cover his whole body but his legs, he kicks the floor while screaming into the beanbag
Equius had to do something about this crisis Gamzee was having, what the hell was going on? He felt kinda scared for him
He searches around for the outlet for the TV, he finds it and yanks out the plug. The TV turns off. Gamzee's groaning and screaming was now clearly audible. His thoughts were all over the place
Oh GoD fInAlLy It'S oVeR
WhY tHe HeLl WaS iT sO lOuD

Is inaudible thoughts were multiplying by the minute, he hears footsteps on the ground next to him. He feels fingers poke the beanbag, he hears a whispering
"D --> Gamzee? You alright? What happened?" He slowly lifts the beanbag up to see Gamzee rubbing his eyes and lightly biting his tongue
"D --> What should I do?" He's so shaken up from this whole thing. What the hell upset Gamzee so much he started doing that?
Gamzee gives no response. Not that he didn’t want to, he just straight up couldn’t do it. He wanted so bad, but shit would not come out his mouth.
“D --> Gamzee I'm not going to leave, that would be inconsiderate” Equius sits by the bean bag that was sitting on top of Gamzee. “D --> You know,,,” he pauses and chuckles at his own stupid joke. “D --> YOU'RE supposed to be sitting on the bean bag, not the other way around dipass”
Equius sits, still smiling at his joke, a few seconds later Gamzee gives a light giggle from underneath the bean bag. Gamzee found it so funny he started flapping his hands. Something has to be really fucking hilarious in order for him to do that.
Equius finds this behavior a bit familiar. He decides not to question him on it for now. After a few minutes of just sitting there, Gamzee decides to get up and use the bathroom. He takes a quick piss and then exits.
Equius looks at him in disgust. He didn’t wash his hands. Yuck. Gamzee turns toward his bedroom and sets one foot in. He looks through the doorway directly at his guest.
“D --> may I come in?” asks Equius. Gamzee nods yes with a little smile on his face, Equius gets up and tenderly walks towards his bedroom. Gamzee is sitting on the bed, he has a horn in his hands. He squeezes it, he likes hearing the little honk. It makes him happy.
“D --> so uh,,,Gamzee? What happened back there? What was with the hand thing?” Equius asks these questions like he’s clueless, but he definitely knows what he’s doing.
Gamzee doesn’t reply again. He still cannot talk for some reason. He looks down at his dangling feet but then his head perks up, he has an idea. He heads to his computer in the living room, and gets on Pesterchum. He types to Equius’ account, with the man himself peeking over his shoulder to see what he was typing.
TC: LmAo ThE lOuDnEsS oF tHe Tv MaDe Me Go BaTsHiT iNsAnE
“D --> Yeah I get that, I hate loud noises too”
TC: AnD tHaT sHiT i DiD wItH mY hAnDs Is JuSt SoMeThInG i Do WhEn SoMeThInG iS fUcKiNg HiLaRiOuS

TC:ThErE wAs BoNg WaTeR eVeRyWhErE eQuIuS. iT sMeLlEd So BaD. iT sMeLlEd LiKe SpIt
Equius shudders in disgust even thinking about the scent of Gamzee’s spit. Whatever, that putrid thought couldn’t distract him.
“D --> I'm sorry about yer uh,,,bong water issue but that whole thing just gave me a thought” he doesn’t want to tell Gamzee about it, but he figures it must be done. “D --> Have you ever thought you're autistic? or something along the lines of it?”
TC: WhAtS aUtIsTiC?
How could he not know what Autism is?
"D --> Well,,,I guess it's not important right now, are you ok?"
TC: YeAh I gUeSs, My HeAd HuRtS a LiTtLe BuT oThEr ThAn ThAt I'm FiNe
Equius was relieved hearing that Gamzee was ok, he wouldn't know what to do if he wasn't.
"D --> Well I'm glad you're ok, would you like me to go home now?"
TC: AcTuAlLy
TC: If YoU wAnNa StAy AnD dO a PoT bRoWnIe WiTh Me I'd Be Ok WiTh ThAt. PoT uSuAlLy TaKeS mY hEaDaChEs AwAy
"D --> Well,,I'm already here"
