Unspoken Intimacies

Gamzee lay still, his eyes fixed on the darkness above, trying to calm the racing thoughts in his mind. The warmth of the bed and the gentle pressure of Tavros' body beside him were slowly lulling him into a state of relaxation. But just as he was starting to drift off, Tavros shifted in his sleep, his hand brushing against Gamzee's bare side. Gamzee shivered, his skin prickling with gooseflesh as the touch sent a spark of electricity through him. He gasped, his breath catching in his throat, and Tavros immediately sat up, concern etched on his face. "Gamzee, are you okay? You're shivering," Tavros said, his voice low and gentle. Gamzee hesitated, unsure of how to respond. He didn't want to lie, but he also didn't want to admit the truth - that Tavros' accidental touch had awakened a flutter in his chest. "I'm...I'm just a bit cold, I think," he said finally, trying to play it off. Tavros nodded, his expression softening with understanding. "Here, let me get you under the blankets," he said, pulling Gamzee closer and wrapping the covers around him. As Tavros' arms enveloped him, Gamzee felt a rush of warmth and comfort. He snuggled deeper into the blankets, trying to ignore the tingle that still lingered on his skin from the touch. Tavros settled back down beside him, his hand drifting to Gamzee's shoulder, where it rested in a gentle, possessive hold. Gamzee closed his eyes, feeling the warmth of Tavros' body seep into his own. He couldn't help but wonder if Tavros had any idea how much more than just physical warmth he was offering. The troll's heart beat a little faster at the thought, and he felt himself drifting off to sleep, lulled by the comforting presence of the trollspeaker beside him. As they slept, their bodies tangled together under the blankets, the connection between them seemed to grow stronger, a silent understanding that went beyond words. And when Gamzee woke up again, he couldn't shake the feeling that something fundamental had shifted between them, something that would change the course of their relationship forever.
