Sweetheart, You're Sadly Mistaken

by Katastrophi

In a world where human hybrid "pets" are all the rage with the Rich and well to do, Gamzee Makara isn't so lucky when he is abandoned in a park and chained to a bikerack. Karkat Vantas, a poor retail worker, stumbles upon the poor puppy and saves him from the bitter cold rain but... is that really the best thing for the hybrid?

Karkat adjusted the hood of his jacket to cover his face better as the rain fell harder. He was on his way home from work, and the walk wasn't too far, but it was made all that more miserable by the storm. He hurried over gutters flowing with miniature streams, avoiding the worst of them when he could. He turned a corner, taking a shortcut through a park. The trees should provide some cover from the rain, and maybe he could stand under one for a few minutes before gaining the balls to trek the rest of the way home. He kept his eyes to the ground for the most part, watching carefully to avoid puddles, and had wrapped his arms around his body, trying to retain as much body heat as possible.

He glanced up at one point to gauge how much distance he had left and stumbled over uneven ground in surprise as he saw something ahead of him. He narrowed his eyes and quickened his pace. Was that...a person? Chained to a fucking fence? As he got closer, he realized slowly that no... It was.. It was one of those hybrids, wasn't it? A guy with dog ears, dog ears that were flattened down sadly, the fur dripping wet from the rain. He wore a collar with a leash connected to the fence. Karkat glowered. Who the fuck had left him there like that?! He hurried toward the poor thing, feeling himself get sick from the thought of him being abandoned like that.

A rather tall male was sitting on the ground, shivering and grasping at his knees to try and conserve as much body heat as he could. His tail was curled around his torso, it being the only fur he had besides his ears. He was sniffling and trying to watch the people walking by. He hated days like this; it was so cold and people sped by, usually accidentally kicking him or splashing him with water on their bicycles. He bit at his bottom lip, a whimper escaping him. He hated sitting here, he really did...but Mr. Scratch had said he had to... Gamzee was hungry and scared, not to mention a rather bit on the sick side. He noticed someone walking up, flinching away. Hopefully, this guy would ignore him and keep walking rather than some of the other people who hassled him or stole what little food the doctor had left him.

Karkat knelt down beside the poor hybrid, his movement slow so as to not startle him. "Hey there..." he whispered, suddenly unsure how to go about this. He remembered hearing somewhere they could talk, but he wasn't sure, as this was the first he'd ever been in contact with. He tried anyway. "What are you doing out here?" he asked gently. It was hard to keep his voice at a calm, level tone, especially with how much he felt like hunting down whoever had left him there and beating the shit out of them. With how cold and wet the tall male looked, he had to have been out here for a few hours at least. He was trembling, and long wet hair clung around his face, flattened to his head to fully expose the furry black ears that pressed against his scalp, as if they were trying to keep water from getting inside. His gaze landed on the collar around his throat and followed the leash connected to it, to where it was tightly secured to the fence.

Gamzee coughed slightly, turning his head so that he didn't get it on the male talking to him. The soft tone the male had made Gamzee's ears perk just slightly. Was he finally going to get adopted? A loud whimper pulled from Gamzee's throat and he bit at his lip to try and muffle the sound. When was the last time someone had talked to him? Doctor Scratch...maybe? He opened his mouth, his throat incredibly sore from the multiple days of different weather and not having talked to anyone. "D-da-addy told me to st-stay and b-be a g-good boy..." he lifted the sign that Doc Scratch had originally propped against his feet. 'Free Pet! Unchained him and Gamzee is yours. 9/06/13".

Karkat's eyes widened when the "pet" spoke and he frowned. "Daddy?" He shook his head and looked at the sign he lifted. He refused to think of him as an "it", like so many other people did. He hadn't noticed the sign before, his concern for the male being his top priority. He read the sign and felt sicker than he already had been by the situation. "Gamzee, huh? Is that your name?" He read the sign over and over again. 9/06/13. The current date was the 19th of September... Had he...had he actually been out here, chained like this for that long?! He looked over him again, this time making out the - no, /Gamzee's/ near emaciated body through his baggy clothes. The poor thing was starved... He felt a spark of determination light through him. He was /not/ going to leave him out here like this. No way in hell.

Gamzee nodded, his tail giving a faint thump against his lap to show that he was actually happy to be talking to someone. He couldn't read the sign, his owner refused to teach him to do that. He shakily reached out and touched his new friend, his eyes wide and hopeful. "A-are you gonna t-take me b-back to Daddy?" He missed curling up in his bed at his father's feet and hearing him complain about the big white and gray papers in his hand. "D-daddy said I-I have to be a g-good boy an n-not leave until s-some sap takes me h-home...I d-dont...know...what that means..."

Karkat shook his head angrily but did his best to keep his face blank. He shivered himself at the touch of Gamzee's cold fingers on his hand but he just made himself smile and reached up to unclasp the leash from Gamzee's collar, then unbuckled the collar and dropped it to the wet ground beside them. "Don't worry about that right now, okay? You're coming home with me." He shrugged his jacket off and wrapped it around Gamzee before helping him up. He left the sign and leash where they were, wrapping his arm around Gamzee's waist to help him stand. He was taller than Karkat, which made holding him up awkward, but he was so starved it wasn't too hard. "Can you walk?"

Gamzee moved slightly, his bare feet numb and almost frost bitten. He nodded sheepishly, his legs wobbling at the blood rushing back to them after sitting so long. The way the doctor had tied his leash prevented him from actually standing up. He didn't blame doctor scratch though; he was a shorter man. He had to lean on Karkat slightly but his tail wagged to show how happy he really was.

Karkat gave a small smile to see his tail waggling. It was a sad sight, drenched and tangled, but it was so hopeful. "I don't live very far away. I promise. Then I'll get you nice and warm and get you something to fucking eat, alright?" He wanted to hurry, wanted to get Gamzee off the streets as soon as possible, but knew he couldn't take it too fast, watching the way the hybrid limped. He supported all the weight he could and held him closer, trying to supply as much body heat as possible. At least the rain was slowing a little.

Gamzee wanted to nuzzle Karkat but he knew he shouldn't. Gamzee knew that he smelled bad and hadn't been given a bath for weeks. The walk was painful but he didn't want to stop and get left again. "Al-almost," he turned his head and coughed, "h-home?" There was a distinct sound of hope in the dog's voice.

Karkat glanced up at the question. "Yeah, just about." He hugged the dogboy tighter to him. His small rental came into sight and he quickened their pace just a bit, wanting to get Gamzee inside soon. He helped him up the steps, fumbling with the keys both because he was using his non-dominant hand and because his fingers were numb and pained from the icy cold. He finally got it unlocked and turned the handle, pushing it open with his foot. He helped Gamzee to his sad living room and started for the couch. "Come on, sit down."

Gamzee immediately started shaking once he got into the warm house. It was such a climate shock that goosebumps formed on his skin and a prickling sensation washed over him. "W-warm." Gamzee smiled up at Karkat, his ears weakly perking. He did as he was told, curling into himself like he had at the park. He watched Karkat, genuinely confused as to why he was helping him.

Karkat stood nervously, fidgeting. He wasn't sure what to do now that he got him off the street. "Okay," he started, kicking his wet shoes off. "First things first. I need to get you warm." He looked Gamzee over, staring at his drenched, dirty clothes. "Can you, uh, can you take those off? You'll warm up faster without all that wet shit on you." He did his best not to blush and started walking to the bedroom to get a few blankets, pulling his own wet shirt off along the way.

Gamzee did as he was told, slipping out of his shirt and sleeping pants. He stood in the living room, shaking softly as his body still hadn't readjusted to the temperature. He pet at his tail, water rushing off of it slowly. Unable to fight it anymore, Gamzee shook his head, getting water out of his hair and ears.

Karkat walked in with the blankets just as Gamzee shook and froze as water hit him in the face. He blinked a few times, staring at him in surprise. How the hell had his hair held so much fucking water?! He finally raised one of the blankets edges to wipe his face, hiding a small smile under the cloth before looking back at Gamzee. "Sit, on the couch." He kept his gaze on Gamzee's ears, staring very intently at them instead of lower places. He realized if he had a nicer couch it would be a dumb idea to let him sit on it before giving him a bath, but he didn't care. He'd only paid ten bucks for the damn thing, anyway.

Gamzee's ears flicked slightly as he turned his head and nodded. He sat down, noticing Karkat was shirtless as well. His eyes trailed down the little male's body but stopped quickly; scared that he would get flicked in the nose like his daddy would do to him. It was rude to stare after all. The dog hybrid's tail thumped happily against the couch as Karkat approached him again with the blankets. Without the water logging his hair, it was noticeably curly and long, almost covering his ears if they weren't perked at the moment.

Karkat smiled a little at the way his tail wagged against the couch and how his ears moved. He dumped the blankets on him, covering and wrapping him up, covering one over his hair. "What... uh... What do you eat?"

Gamzee shrugged, unsure of what to say. "Daddy said it was expensive stuff from a bag." He finally got the cold stutter out of his voice thanks to the blankets Karkat had given him. "What's your name...? Thank you for savin' me."

Karkat's eyes widened. He was fed dog food?! He shook his head again, trying not to think about it. "Uh, Karkat." He shrugged. "I couldn't just fucking leave you out there." He wandered into the kitchen. "...Can you eat a sandwich?"

Gamzee trilled happily, his tail wagging a bit more in excitement. "Daddy ate those. I hope he wouldn't be mad if you gave me one. Pets ain't supposed ta eat people food." He nuzzled into the blanket, not realizing his owner had been quite the abusive asshole to him.

"Don't worry about that right now, okay?" He set about gathering the items needed and considered. Gamzee was completely starved. He wasn't sure how much to feed him. Just in case, he made him two sandwiches, all ham and cheese to get some protein in him, and brought them out to the living room. If it wasn't enough he could just as easily make more. "Eat /slowly/, okay? I don't want you throwing them all back up." He handed the plate to him and went back to get him a glass of water. He was trying extremely hard not to think of what kind of guy his owner had been.

Gamzee's throat was scratchy from the weather so it was kind of hard to chew and swallow the first few bites of his food. When he had tasted it though, he couldn't believe it. Human food was so much...better! Slowly, he kept eating til the first sandwich was gone and looked up at Karkat. He smiled sheepishly. "Thank you Karkat." He finally uncurled his legs, a sign of comfort. He offered the plate back to Karkat. "I, uh, I can share."

Karkat smiled and shook his head. "Eat what you need. That's all for you." He watched the dogboy carefully, happy that he finally seemed at ease. He handed him the glass of water. "I'm sure you need this." He hesitated suddenly, something occurring to him. If Gamzee had been forced to eat dog food, would he even know how to drink out of a glass?

Gamzee tilted his head at the glass. He hadn't ever used one. Slowly, he did the only thing he could think to do: dunking his fingers into the water before bringing them to his mouth and licking them off. He'd seen Daddy's cat do it several times. He smiled, repeating the process after he realized that it worked for the most part.

Karkat's eyes widened as he watched. He was not reassured by the fact that he'd been correct. He shook his head. "No, Gamzee. Here." He took the glass from him gently and held it up. "Do what I do. Like this." He put the glass to his mouth, every movement slow so Gamzee could catch on, and tipped water into his mouth. He grimaced at the taste of grime from Gamzee's fingers but ignored it. He handed the cup back to him. "Now you try."

Gamzee did as he was told, his hands now a little slick from the water. He took a drink, only a little bit dribbling from his mouth. He looked over at Karkat, hopeful that he'd done it right. His tail thumped, taking another sip. "Like that? ...Gamzee did it right?" His eyes widened and he looked sheepish, hoping his new friend wouldn't chide or reprimand him.

Karkat laughed quietly and nodded. "You'll get the hang of it." He sat back and watched his new house guest. It occurred to him that, despite his anger at the guy that tied him up out there, he was actually in a pretty good mood. He didn't have a lot of friends, and he was overworked almost constantly. It felt good to smile and laugh for a change.

Gamzee nodded and smiled, nudging his head against Karkat's arm. He didn't know how to thank Karkat for his good will and hospitality, but he would try. The other male smelled so good...a lot different from his previous owner. Before Gamzee had realized, he was flopped on his back with his head in Karkat's lap, wriggling around and hoping for a belly rub.

Karkat looked down at Gamzee in surprise. What the hell? "Gamzee? Uh...what exactly are you fucking doing?" When he thought about it, Gamzee kind of was acting like a dog begging for a belly rub... It slowly occurred to him that that was exactly what he was doing.

Gamzee looked up at Karkat with his bright purple-blue eyes open wide and gave his best puppy dog pout. It didn't work on the doctor but maybe it would work on this guy? He pawed at the air, only one of his ears tickling softly against Karkat's leg. "Pet?" He nudged his nose against his new owner's hand.

Karkat couldn't help himself as a soft laugh escaped his throat. "Fine," he said, moving his hand to scratch behind one of Gamzee's ears. "Like this?"

A happy noise rumbled in Gamzee's throat and he nuzzled against Karkat's hand before nodding. His ears were super sensitive but not near as much as his stomach and tail. He trilled softly, his eyes fluttering shut.

Karkat smiled, watching Gamzee's reaction. He sucked on his lip for a moment as he considered, and finally decided to rub Gamzee's stomach lightly, thankful for the blanket that still covered him below the waist.

The puppy-like male grinned widely and licked Karkat's arm before resting and enjoying the sensations wracking his body. Karkat's fingers were nimble and light, a lot different than his daddy's. "Feels real good." He smiled, nuzzling his head against Karkat's lap.

Karkat scratched a little harder, still trying to be as gentle as he could. "I'm glad you like it." He scratched for a few more minutes before poking the end of an ear lightly. "Well, I think it's time to get you in a bath, since you've finished eating."

Gamzee nodded happily, sitting up. He pulled the blankets off himself, sitting up like a good boy. He didn't know where anything was or he would have probably raced the smaller male to the tub. He swayed his tail lovingly, letting it hit Karkat's let gently.

Karkat raised an eyebrow at Gamzee's behavior. He really was acting just like a dog. He looked down at the tail thumping against his leg and smirked, standing up. "Follow me," he told him, making his way down the hall to the bathroom. He stopped inside and stared at the tub for a minute. How was he supposed to go about this? He glanced back at Gamzee and mentally shrugged before turning the water on to a decent temperature. He looked up from where he knelt on the floor. "Do you know how to wash yourself?"

Gamzee nodded shyly. He tilted his head up at Karkat. "I can uh, get everything clean but my tail an' hair. Daddy always did that for me." A wide blush spread over Gamzee's cheeks and he looks down at his hands.

Karkat nodded. "Alright. Well. Uh. Okay." He plugged the bathtub and motioned toward it. "I'll stay right here. You go ahead and do that, and I'll get the rest for you when you finish." He smiled reassuringly at him before getting him the soap and sitting on the lid of the toilet.

Gamzee sat down in the tub and for a split second, actually looked completely human in the way he would run the the water and soap over his body to clean himself. He took extra time on his legs and feet, seemingly needing it the most. After a few moments, he looked up at Karkat with a a soft smile.

Karkat watched him, completely perplexed. Gamzee didn't make any sense to him, and he'd barely known him an hour. He acted just like a normal person in his bath. Karkat's mind was spinning with it all, wondering what life had been like for Gamzee up to this point, and what had made his "daddy" dump him on the streets like that. Not that Karkat wasn't glad he was away from the asshole, considering what he'd heard of him so far, but he wished he'd found Gamzee much, much sooner. He realized Gamzee was staring at him and he smiled back. "Are you ready for me?"

Gamzee nodded and barked a quick "Yeapp!" Before turning in the bath and giving the smaller male complete access to his ears, hair, and tail. He smiled happily and tried to relax, knowing this was the first time anyone had touched his tail besides his daddy.

Karkat winced a bit at Gamzee's volume but just chuckled quietly. He picked up his shampoo bottle and looked Gamzee over. It couldn't be too hard to do this, could it? As he looked him over, he felt himself grow sick all over again at the sight of his emaciated body. He shook the thought and poured a large amount of shampoo into his hand, knowing with the length of Gamzee's hair and how dirty it was he would definitely need it. He rubbed it into Gamzee's hair gently, before speaking again. "So, how exactly do I wash your fucking tail?"

Gamzee tipped his head back, looking like a small child trying to play limbo as he tried to reply to Karkat. "Daddy washed it like the rest of my hair." He got on all fours in front of Karkat, now resembling a dog quite well. He wagged it slowly, knowing it was soaking wet from the water. "See?" He reached behind himself and stroked his tail a few times, shocked at how good it actually felt. "Y-yeah, that's how daddy did it."

Karkat raised his eyebrows at Gamzee's demonstration, scowling at the drops of water that hit his face and still-bare chest. He wiped his eyes from a drop that hit quite close to his left eye and raised his right eyebrow once more at the stutter Gamzee gave when he stroked his tail. "'Kay," he muttered quietly, watching the carefully to make sure he did it right. "Turn around. I want to finish your ears first."

Gamzee nodded and yet again did as he was told. No one could ever say he wasn't an obedient puppy. He sat on his haunches and dipped his head down, a happy trill leaving his throat. He liked bath time and playing in water; he always had. "Thank you Karkat."

Karkat smiled. "Well, at least you're polite." He scrubbed the shampoo up the black fur of his ears gently, careful to avoid it getting in his ears. The soapy water that ran from his ears and hair was dark gray and he grimaced. He couldn't imagine having so much grime on him. Then again, he couldn't imagine being left out on the streets for two weeks, either. He got his hair and ears nice and soaped up before pouring another handful of shampoo. He honestly wasn't sure if he should put shampoo or soap on the dog boy's tail, but he figured shampoo would be fine. It was fur, after all. Just really thick coarse hair. He reached into the tub and began stroking up and down his tail, careful to rub the soap in exactly how Gamzee had shown him.

Gamzee bit at his bottom lip, a soft sound leaving his lips. Oh Jesus, that felt really good. Karkat's fingers brushing against that delicate part of his body felt absolutely amazing. He glanced back at Karkat for a second before dipping his head and arching his back up like a puppy in submission. He remembered this. This was always when his daddy would have "special play time" with him. Most of the time it hurt, but on occasion it felt really /really/ good. A flush graced his cheeks and he sighed.

Karkat smiled a little bigger at the sound Gamzee made and the way he arched his back. He must like this a lot. He scrubbed a little harder, making sure to get all the soap in before he was satisfied it was enough. "Can you rinse yourself or do you need help?"

Gamzee looked back at Karkat and his ears perked. "I can do it but Daddy never let me. Said I never got all the soap out." He licked over his bottom lip, swishing his hips just a bit. It wasn't enough to slosh the water or flick soap everywhere; just enough to get the cancer's attention.

Karkat nodded and stood, pulling down the shower hose that hung above their heads. He drained the murky water and turned the faucet back on. "Close your eyes."

Gamzee did as he was told and scrunched his face up slightly. He felt the rush of water hit him and he jolted slightly but managed to not move away. He felt the water on his tail and bum, gasping softly.

Karkat rinsed him quickly, making sure to wash all the grimy soap away. He ran his fingers through his hair and ear fur, getting it as clean as possible. He contemplated conditioner but decided against it this time. He would use it next time. He moved his attention down to his tail, running the water over the fur. He ran his fingers through it gently, working free any tangles he could find as he let the warm water run over it.

Gamzee would have purred if he were a hybrid kitten. He arched just a bit higher, adoring his new owner's fingers on his tail. It caused a swirl of warmth in his stomach that he hadn't felt in a long time. He bit at his bottom lip, slow and happy trills falling from his lips. "Mnnn, that feels so good..." he tried to stay quiet but Karkat's fingers were absolute bliss.

Karkat raised an eyebrow at the sounds the other male made but gave another amused smile. "You like that, huh?" he asked distractedly, focusing on a bit of soap that he couldn't get to rinse out of the base of his tail. He rubbed just a bit harder, turning the water flow onto it directly. Finally he felt satisfied and pulled his hand away, moving it up to scratch at Gamzee's ear. He raised the hose to give Gamzee one last all over rinse before turning the water off and turning to grab a towel. He held it out for him, holding it open to wrap him up in it.

Gamzee nodded when the other male spoke and a small shudder wracked his frame when he felt Karkat squeeze at the base of his tail. The only reason Daddy ever squeezed his tail like that was to get Gamzee to put his head in his lap. Maybe that was how he could repay Karkat! Daddy always loved it when he did it for him! Gamzee took the towel and smiled widely. "Thank you Karkat."

Karkat continued smiling and grabbed another towel. "This," he said, dropping it over Gamzee's head, "is so you don't shake your hair out on me and my bathroom. I remember what you did in the living room." He scrubbed at his hair, careful of his ears. When he was satisfied he had it dried enough he wouldn't drip everywhere, Karkat turned him around by his shoulders and rubbed the towel over the end of his tail where the fur was thickest, squeezing the water from it with his best efforts.

The puppy felt another gasp tumble from his lips as Karkat grabbed his tail again. He had to brace himself on the side of the shower so that his knees didn't shake. He noticed what Karkat had said though. "I-I'm sorry, Karkat...I won't shake anymore..." He felt bad for already displeasing his new master. He would definitely have to make it up to him somehow.

Karkat reached over and gently gripped his arm, helping him balance. "Sorry, I didn't mean to make you almost fall over," he told him sheepishly. He focused on Gamzee's apology, frowning. "It's alright, Gamzee, I'm not upset. I just don't want to get wet again until I take my own shower." He smiled at him reassuringly, hoping to make Gamzee understand he really wasn't unhappy with him.

Gamzee's ears flattened slightly as he listened to Karkat again. "I hope you ain't upset with me...good boys only make their owners happy..." He took the towel from Karkat and wrapped it around his slightly cold body. He stood there awkwardly, looking around.

Karkat's frowned deepened. He didn't want to "own" Gamzee, exactly, and wasn't too sure of how he felt about Gamzee calling him his owner, but he felt that saying as such would give the hybrid the wrong idea and make him think he didn't want him at all. He decided to wait until he got him settled in more to really talk about it. "Let's see if we can find you some dry clothes. I don't think I have any pants long enough to fit you, but maybe my shirts will." He took Gamzee's hand and helped him out of the bathtub, leading him to his bedroom.

Gamzee's eyes widened but he followed anyway. "Clothes? Dogs don't wear clothes inside..." He looked around Karkat's room and smiled at all of the red color everywhere and the little crab plush toy on his bed. Crabs...that kind of fit the small male. He sat in the floor, waiting on Karkat to decide what to do.

Karkat looked at Gamzee in surprise. "You're not really a dog to me, you know," he informed him. "You can wear clothes inside." He realized Gamzee was looking around his room with a little more interest than he should have and blushed slightly, before scowling and moving toward his dresser. He searched around in it for a moment before finding a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that had always been too baggy on him. He would have to do without underwear for now. "Here," he said, turning around. "Try these on." He stopped and stared at the boy sitting on his floor. "...why are you on the floor?"

Gamzee flushed before responding. "...Daddy never let me on the furniture. Said it was for humans cause my hair falls out and gets on stuff..." He slid the shirt over hid head and it just barely fit; had he been properly fed, it would have been skin tight. He looked at the shorts and lifted them up slightly. "Where does my tail go?"

Karkat stared at him for a moment, listening to what he said about his owner. He couldn't shed that badly, could he? It wasn't as if he were covered in hair, like actual dogs were. And besides that, just the thought of making someone sit on the floor, human, hybrid, or whatever the fuck they were, that was just too much for him. He realized Gamzee was speaking to him and blinked. His tail? He hadn't thought of that. "Well, where did it go in your other pants?" Had there been some kind of hole in them for him? He honestly hadn't even paid any attention, too concerned with getting the poor thing inside, fed and warmed.

Gamzee pointed to the butt of the pants. "Daddy said he liked my tail being seen a whole lot so he got pants from a special store for dogs." He stood up, putting on the shorts and tucking in his tail. "I ain't got ta have anything special though...I'll just tuck it in like that." The shorts fit the Labrador but yet again, just barely. The tip of his tail hung from his left pants leg and it swished quickly when he wagged it.

Karkat laughed quietly at the sight. It was pretty cute actually. "Would you like me to cut a hole in them for you?" he asks. "It will probably be more comfortable." He wondered what Gamzee meant when he said his daddy liked his tail to be seen but brushed it off, not wanting to think too hard about it. It probably didn't really mean anything, anyway.

Gamzee looked up at Karkat with wide eyes. "Really? But they are yours..." he wiggled his hips slightly. "If you put a tail hole in them then you can't wear em. You ain't got a tail, do ya?" He looked at Karkat's bum, touching it lightly to see if he was hiding a tail.

Karkat gasped in surprise and stepped away, his face heating up. "No, I don't have a tail." He blinked down at the hybrid unsure how exactly he was supposed to react. "It's fine, really," he stated, quickly changing the subject, knowing he was still a bit red. "I never wear them anyway. Take them off."

Gamzee nodded and slid the shorts off of his frame slowly. He stepped out of them and handed the clothing back to Karkat while swishing his tail. "Here ya go." He noticed Karkat's blush and smiled widely. It was really cute to the Labrador pup.

Karkat took the pants and turned. walking toward the desk he had pushed against his wall. He searched around the drawer for scissors, only needing to search for a moment before finding them. He stared at the article of clothing in his hands before finally picking a spot to cut, hoping he was in the right spot and that it would be the right size. He turned back and held them out for Gamzee, noticing the way his tail was cutely wagging.

The dog took the clothing back, giving Karkat a wide grin in return. He slipped the article of fabric back over his hips and pulled his tail through the hole. The hole itself was big enough, but it was just small enough to press against his fur and make it puff out quite a but. Gamzee's ears were perked and he kept wagging his tail despite the fur displacement. "Thank you!" He wanted to pounce on the other and play but he knew better. He couldn't play unless he was told he could.

He smiled again. "You're welcome, Gamzee." He cocked his head to the side, watching his tail, the way it wagged and the little tuft of fur that puffed out. There was no way he was letting him go. No way in hell. Not after what he'd heard of his "daddy", and not after what he'd heard other people do to their "pets". He didn't want Gamzee as a pet, though. If he wanted a dog, he'd get a fucking dog. Despite how much Gamzee acted like one, he had trouble thinking of him as an animal. He was a human with ears and a tail who'd been taken in by the wrong guy and treated the wrong way. He shook his head and looked up at Gamzee's face. "What do you want to do now, Gamzee?"

Gamzee crouched down, not used to standing just on his legs for long. He looked up at Karkat, unsure of how to answer that. He tilted his head. "I dunno. What would you like to do, Karkat?" He liked how Karkat was looking at him, with a light smile on his lips. It made the dog's chest feel funny but in a good way.

Karkat shrugged. "I really don't know." He sat down on the floor next to Gamzee, leaning against the bed. Without thinking, he raised his arm and began scritching at Gamzee's ears again. He didn't do it because he was like a dog. He did it because he knew Gamzee liked it. He let his head fall back and closed his eyes as he scratched, thinking about what to do now. He was going to have to look into so much, like getting him clothes and making sure he was healthy. Where would he fucking sleep? Not to mention, there was breaking him of his puppy dog thoughts and habits, those he could, at least.

Gamzee trilled happily, scooting closer to Karkat and resting his head on his new owner's leg. He looked up at Karkat, noticing how stressed out he looked. Slowly, Gamzee inched closer, nuzzling his nose into Karkat's inner thigh. His tail beat happily on the floor, his smile wide.

Karkat glanced down at Gamzee, smiling softly as he slid his hand down from Gamzee's ear to his neck, rubbing the soft skin beneath his jaw. He let his fingernails drag lightly across his skin as he rubbed, hoping Gamzee liked it. He closed his eyes once more, still trying to figure out his next move. He had to admit, he enjoyed the dog boy's company. He was always so alone, and work put him in such a bad mood. It was nice to just lay back quietly with someone like this, not having to talk.

Gamzee shivered softly at the feeling of Karkat's nails. He chirped quietly, deciding how he was going to repay Karkat. He was going to make Karkat feel good just as his daddy used to make him. Slowly, as if not to startle the little crab, Gamzee mouthed over Karkat's exposed stomach, leaving slow open mouth kisses.

Karkat gasped and looked down at Gamzee. He squirmed a little from the feeling of his mouth, his face turning red once more. "Uh, G-Gamzee?" he gasped, sucking his lip into his mouth. "What are you doing?" His mind spun, but he blew it off. It was probably some weird fucking dog thing that he picked up somewhere along the way. Had to be. If he'd been raised as a pet, surely he wouldn't have any idea what he was doing here, right?

Gamzee gently suckled the taut skin of Karkat's stomach. His tail swished again and he looked up at Karkat. "I wan'ta help ya relax an' feel good." He nuzzled hos nose lower until he gently rested his lips against Karkat's zipper. He trilled once again, slowly mouthing over his owner's groin.

Karkat gasped again, this time throwing his head back. "Fuck," he whispered, dragging his fingertips across the carpet hard as he clenched his fists. "Wait, Gamzee," he spoke, biting his lip lightly. Fuck, fuck, this was so wrong...

Gamzee stopped, looking up at Karkat with wide eyes and flattened ears. "W-what? Did I...I do something wrong?" He had stopped the motion of his tail, scared he had messed up with Karkat again.

Karkat shook his head quickly, reaching down to tilt his head up gently and scratch under his jaw. "No, you didn't do anything wrong," he reassured, scritching at the skin of his throat. "Just..." He struggled to find a way to express himself. "I just don't want you doing anything you don't want to, alright?"

Gamzee nodded, "I wanna make you feel good, Karkat." He nuzzled into Karkat's hand, his tail thumping once again. He lifted his hand, slowly massaging Karkat's leg to get it across. He was so much different than his daddy... he really liked that.

Karkat bit his lip hesitantly. "Gamzee..." He squirmed, closing his legs as a jolt of heat hit his insides. He wasn't sure if Gamzee understood what he was doing, or, hell, if he was even doing anything intentionally at all. As far as he knew, he was probably just innocently rubbing his leg. He rolled his lip between his teeth, thinking about everything he'd heard of Gamzee's owner and his stomach turned all over again, considering possibilities he'd never thought of before. "You don't have to make me feel good, Gamzee. It's okay. Really."

One of Gamzee's ears flopped over and he looked at Karkat with soft eyes. Now he was really confused... He sat up slightly and looked up at Karkat after staring at the forming bulge in the front of his pants. He pawed at it gently, proving that what he thought was happening was actually happening. "Are you sure? I don't mind if it helps you look less sad?"

Karkat hissed in slight pleasure at the contact and threw his head back, closing his eyes. He felt extremely conflicted. This wasn't right... He didn't want to use Gamzee like this, didn't want him to feel like he needed to do anything like this, but... He couldn't deny the way his cock was quickly coming to life with the things he'd done so far. He took a deep breath, feeling he was probably going to regret the decision, and nodded, looking down at the dog boy in his lap. "...do whatever you want to, Gamzee."

Gamzee's tail thumped louder against the bedding as if he had just been rewarded a treat. He grinned and kissed Karkat's stomach again, working his fingers to get Karkat's jeans down. It didn't take much, seeing how small the other male was. He dipped his head down, and looked at the bulge forming in Karkat's boxers. He wasn't as big as his daddy so this seemed like it would be a lot easier. He placed his mouth over the cloth, mouthing and rolling his tongue against the fabric, just wanting to see how the other male liked this.

Karkat gasped at the damp heat that enveloped his clothed erection and couldn't help himself as he bucked up, letting a small moan escape his lips. His fingers scraped at the carpet, desperate to grab on to something and finding nothing of the sort. The things Gamzee was doing with his tongue... And he was still inside his boxers. He realized he was biting down on his lip, eyes squeezed shut, but he didn't care, and just focused on what that mouth was doing to him. This was so wrong, so fucking wrong, he felt like he was taking advantage of him but... It was just so good. "Gamzee..."

Gamzee smiled against the fabric, tilting his head to gently mouth at Karkat's shaft. He reached forward after a few moments, sliding his new master's cock through the slit in his boxers. His bum was lurched high in the air, much like he was in the shower as his tail swayed. Slowly, he took the head of Karkat's arousal into his mouth, gently lapping at the slit.

Karkat groaned and clenched his fists, trying his hardest not to thrust his hips upward into Gamzee's mouth. He watched Gamzee's ass bob and his tail wag as he worked and threw his head back, making small sounds in the back of his throat that after a few moments he realized were desperate mutterings and pleas of "more Gamzee more please fucking please!"

Gamzee sighed against Karkat's rather inflamed arousal, his head bobbing lower on the shaft. He curled his tongue slowly around Karkat's underside, looking up. He hoped his owner would like this. Being quite a bit bigger than Karkat, it didn't take as much for Gamzee to deep throat him. He swallowed at the little male's length, his hand gently grasping, massaging at what he couldn't fit.

Karkat gasped loudly, his hands shooting up to grip the back of Gamzee's head. His fingers tangled into those soft long locks of hair and and tightened, before moving up to massage behind his ears. "Gamzee... Fuck, so good, fuck..." He moaned louder, his hips jerking lightly at the feeling of Gamzee's tight throat around the head of his cock. He massaged his ears harder, reveling in the softness around his fingertips. He wasn't going to be able to last long if Gamzee kept going like this...

The puppy gave a strangled moan as Karkat worked at his ears. He grinned as much as he could before pulling back just enough to give extra attention to the tip of his owner's dick. He swirled his tongue, very gently running his teeth over the shaft. His tail beat the floor happily and he grinned.

Karkat continued his ministrations on the dog's ears and curled his fingers around them, trying to find the most sensitive spots, wanting to make the pup feel good too. He listened to the thudding as his tail hit the floor and let out a low whine when teeth rubbed along his shaft. His face flushed, knowing he was already so close, too close too fast, and he arched his hips slightly in need. Gamzee was much too good at this...

The smaller male's noises and the way Karkat was gripping at his ears made Gamzee's toes curl. He shivered softly, grasping at Karkat's thighs trying to finish his owner off. The dog bobbed his head, swallowing at the other's length again. He wanted Karkat to cum, to feel less stressed out than he had looked before.

Karkat gasped at the way Gamzee's actions quickened, turning more furious. He realized he was moaning loudly, gripping at his ears as he tried to hold still, tried to hold back. Every time Gamzee swallowed him, he came closer, closer. The grip on his thighs brought him to the edge, and before he knew it he was jerking Gamzee's head off him as he released, not wanting to come in his mouth. He'd thrown his head back and cried out, dropping one hand from the dog's ears to jerk himself, riding out his orgasm.

Gamzee looked up at Karkat, blinking a few times as he watched Karkat ride out his orgasm. He could feel Karkat's finish on his face and his ears, both of them flicking uncontrollably. He rubbed at us face, licking the mess off of his hands as he watched Karkat. His owner did look quite a bit happier now. He rubbed at one of his ears, trilling softly.

Karkat slowly came down from his high, his thighs trembling. He gave his cock a couple final tugs before dropping his hand away, letting it fall to the floor. He opened his eyes and his mouth dropped at the sight before him. Gamzee's face was splattered with his cum and the puppy was licking his fingers clean of it. He noticed it was even on his ears and he blushed at the sight of them twitching cutely under the thick substance. He let out a quiet whimper as the sight made his softening cock twitch once more. "...thank you, Gamzee."

Gamzee's tail beat against the carpet again and he smiled widely. "Yer welcome, Karkat." He continued cleaning his face just like the cat he had lived with used to. He couldn't get over the sensations on his ears though. He rubbed them against his shoulder, trying to get it off. Karkat sure was a lot more messy than his daddy was, but it was okay; he tasted a lot, lot better. Once he was sure the majority of it was off of his face, he nuzzled Karkat's outer leg again, laying his head down happily.

Karkat smiled down at him and looked around his room before detecting a t-shirt he'd discarded to the floor that morning. "Hold still, you missed a spot." He scrubbed softly at the spunk on his left ear and wiped a dab from his cheek and shoulder before tossing it to the side. He sighed contentedly and scratched the ear he'd just cleaned before nervously biting his lip. "...is there anything you want me to do for you, Gamzee?"

Gamzee looked up at Karkat and titled his head. He wanted to do something for him? His daddy had never wanted to do that for him. Gamzee smiled sheepishly and shook his head before nuzzling back into Karkat's leg. "No sir, I'm real fine. You don't have to do anything like that for a pet."

Karkat frowned and shifted his leg out from under Gamzee gently, moving to kick his pants off his ankles. They were awkward to have around his thighs, and were still a bit damp and uncomfortable anyway. He knelt in front of the hybrid and took a soft hold on his jaw, tilting his chin up to make him look at him. "You're not my pet, Gamzee. And I told you before, my name is Karkat. Not sir. If you want something, just ask for it. I'm happy to provide for you." He smiled at him, hoping it looked friendly and reassuring. "Now. Is there anything you want me to do for you?"

Gamzee flushed softly. Why was Karkat so nice to him? He trilled softly. "Y-you don't have to." He felt a little bashful, having never asked anyone to touch him before. Like his father said...pets are seen, not heard. "I-I really like it when y-you play with my tail..." He chewed his bottom lip, his ears flattening just slightly.

Karkat grinned. Well, that was a start, he supposed. It was clear Gamzee had never asked for anything before, or at least, had always been punished for doing so, and he was pleased to see him giving it a try. The way Gamzee's ears expressed his feelings just as well as his face made him warm all over with how cute it all was. He nodded and inched closer to Gamzee, still unsure about what he was about to do. "I can stop at any time if you want me to, okay?" He leaned forward and pulled Gamzee's lip from his teeth with his own, placing a chaste kiss to it as he reached around and rubbed the base of his tail. "Here?" he asked quietly, watching Gam's face. "This where you like it?"

The puppy gasped against Karkat's lips, having genuinely never been kissed before. That was for humans who loved each other... not for dirty pets like Gamzee. His ears perked and he clumsily tried to kiss Karkat back. He hummed, nodding lightly. He felt so meek and small despite being quite a bit bigger than Karkat. "Y-yes, my tail is r-really sensitive." He arched closer to Karkat, his body unused to such good feelings.

Gamzee's lips were uncoordinated, as if the pup had no idea what he was doing, but it was endearing to Karkat. He wanted to do right by him, and led by example, moving his own lips softly against him. He pulled away just a touch, panting against them. "Is there anywhere else that's really sensitive?" He licked his lips gently and squeezed the base of his tail while his other hand trailed up to his ears. He hoped he wasn't touching them too much, but he just couldn't resist. They were too cute and felt amazing under his fingertips.

Gamzee trilled softly. He broke the kiss and went back to chewing at his bottom lip. It was gently swollen, making him look that much more flushed and needy. "M-my stomach and ears are super sensitive." He leaned into Karkat's hand and he scratched his ear and couldn't control the gentle wagging of his tail. Everything was starting to feel warm.

"Really?" He gave one last rub to the base of his ear and ran his hand down his neck and shoulder to his stomach, making light trails across the skin of his abdomen. He slid his hand down the waist of Gamzee's pants and started scritching at the fur on the base of his tail, playing with the area where fur ended and skin began. He adjusted his position and scooted closer to the puppy, still kneeling, and pushed his legs apart, settling between them.

Gamzee groaned and looked at Karkat, his body hadn't felt like this in a long time. He gave off a soft trill, bracing his weight on his hands. His daddy never touched him like this. His eyes fluttered closed and he lifted his hips closer to Karkat out of instinct. "O-oh...y-yeah..."

Karkat smiled and lifted the hem of his t-shirt, pulling it off the pup. His frame was nice, despite being emaciated, and Karkat ran his fingers over the muscles that lined his shoulders and chest. He wondered what Gamzee looked like when he was well fed, and for a moment wondered if he'd ever even been well-fed. Probably not, if he'd lived off dog food. He trailed his hand down to his stomach again, rubbing softly, before tugging at the waist of the shorts. He gave the dog boy's tail a light squeeze and leaned forward to nip at a furry ear. "Can I take these off?"

Gamzee nodded softly, peeking his eyes open. He lifted his hips and helped Karkat remove his shorts. His arousal, which was a fair bit bigger than Karkat's, was only at half mast. He flushed softly, feeling slightly embarrassed that so little got him worked up. He gently shifted, trying to hide his length bashfully. The way Karkat was speaking to him and nipping his ear was causing the heat in his stomach to stir.

"Hey," Karkat whispered softly, pulling Gamzee's legs open again. "No need to hide from me..." He gave his tail one last teasing squeeze and ran his fingers over Gamzee's hips, rubbing his fingers in gentle circles. "You like this?" he asked quietly. "I want to make you feel good, Gamzee."

Gamzee nodded, his ears flattening softly. Karkat's soft hands felt so good. Almost as good as his lips. Gently, Gamzee lifted up, boldly leaning in to kiss his master once again. The little puppy really really liked kissing.

Karkat nibbled on his lip as he contemplated, before he decided to let his right hand trail further down, tickling the flesh between Gamzee's thighs. He rubbed at his inner thighs for a moment as he deepened the kiss, before gliding his fingers up to close around Gamzee's shaft, working the soft flesh into complete erection.

Gamzee grasped at Karkat's shoulders and mewled. It sounded almost catlike. He arched his hips up, trying to keep pace with the kiss. Luckily, he was a fairly quick learner and caught on to kissing quite fast. "Nmh," he groaned into Karkat's mouth.

Karkat moaned into the hybrid's mouth at the feeling of his shoulders being gripped and with how quickly he'd figured out how to kiss back. He tightened his grip on Gamzee's cock and he quickened the pace, wanting to hear what other kind of sounds the pup could make.

Gamzee whined and bucked his hips into Karkat's hand, his tail gently rubbed against Karkat's leg, knowing Karkat liked the feeling of his fur on his skin. He sighed into the kiss, feeling absolutely elated.

Karkat sighed at the touch of fur brushing his leg, and jerked his cock harder, faster. He felt his own erection had returned completely and he dropped his other hand down to grip it as well before giving Gamzee's mouth one last kiss, pulling away to trail kisses down his body. He licked, sucked, and nipped at the flesh down to his hips, where he sucked on one, leaving a small hickey. He glanced up at the pet for a moment, making sure it was okay, and gave his cock a tight squeeze as he put his mouth over its tip, rolling his tongue against the slit.

Gamzee gasped loudly, in utter shock. Karkat was treating him like he was /his/ master. He moaned gutturally and watched Karkat almost lovingly. He whimpered and gripped at the smaller male's hair but not enough to hurt him. "O-oh God,"

Karkat moaned around Gamzee's cock at the tug on his hair and gave a bit of a suck as he bobbed his head lightly over the first couple inches, not taking any more than that. He continued to squeeze at the base and moved his hand up and down with his mouth, running his tongue around the crevice beneath the head. Gamzee's cock was definitely too big for him to take all of it but he would do what he could, wanting to make the pup feel good.

Gamzee whimpered louder, his fingers gripping at Karkat's neck, gently massaging the skin. "M-more, pl-please..." Gamzee's voice rose an octave, his body shaking softly. He wanted more, he needed more. His body was hot and his head spinning.

Karkat smirked around Gamzee's cock. He wanted more? The human was happy to oblige. He suddenly dropped his mouth down, Gamzee's cock sliding a few inches into his throat, as much as he could take, and he held it there, swallowing his throat around the thick member. He continued squeezing what wouldn't fit in his mouth with his fingers and found himself reaching down to grip his own cock, rubbing himself into a complete erection once more.

Gamzee's eyes rolled into the back of his head and the his tail twitch wildly. The pup's ears were flat against his head. Gamzee's hips were widening and he threaded his fingers into Karkat's hair again, petting and scritching much like the other had done for him. He whimpered again, feeling like he was close to his own release.

Karkat could feel how close Gamzee was and he gave one last swallow before pulling his mouth off and looking up at him. "...Do you want to be inside me, Gamzee?"

Gamzee's eyes shot open. He gave the non-hybrid a near pathetic sounding whimper at the loss of sensation from Karkat's mouth. The puppy looked Karkat over, surprised to be asked such a thing. He nodded not long after that though, his own arousal calming just enough not to completely blow with just a touch. He glanced around sheepishly, his tail giving away just how happy and rather excited he was.

Karkat grinned at him and stood up, offering a hand to Gamzee, helping him climb up and motioning to the bed. He climbed up after him and reached into the bed stand drawer, pulling out a bottle of lube. He laid back on his side and lubed up his fingers before rubbing them across his entrance, panting slightly. His eyes closed halfway and he licked his lower lip as it fell open slightly. He looked up, watching Gamzee carefully, his cheeks flushed from the lewd act he was performing.

The puppy watched Karkat in pure interest and arousal. He wanted to touch Karkat the way he was touching himself but was rather scared of messing something up. He could feel his arousal throbbing as he watched the male in front of him, a slight territorial growl in his throat. His ears were perked and his tail wagging, enjoying the show Karkat was giving him quite a bit.

Karkat moaned quietly at sounds Gamzee was making, capturing his lip between his teeth. He began pushing his finger inside himself slowly, groaning at the sensation. Everything was heightened for him, the thrill of being watched making him needier, impatient, but he knew he had to do this right, considering the pup's size. He glanced up at it and pushed his finger deeper, slipping in a second impulsively at the sight of the thick shaft.

They hybrid leaned over, unable to just sit and watch anymore. If he just kept watching, he would have exploded. Karkat was making him feel so hot and...playful. He hadn't felt like this since when he'd gone into heat the first time. Gamzee kissed over Karkat's neck and flexing shoulders, lapping softly. Karkat had done this to him, so he hoped it felt good to the other.

Karkat moaned quietly and tilted his head to the side, allowing better access to the sensitive flesh. He looked down at Gamzee's cock again, considering before deciding he would need to add a third finger, groaning desperately at the stretch. "Gam-ah-Gamzee..." He spread his legs more and fisted his cock tightly.

Gamzee's tail thumped the bed loudly at the way Karkat's voice sounded saying his name. It made the pup's chest tighten in an odd but good way. He gripped Karkat's sides, gently biting and kissing at his neck. Slowly he felt his ears flicking gently against the side of Karkat's face.

Karkat moaned at the feeling of Gamzee's hands gripping his sides, the feel of his mouth, lips, teeth. It was the light feeling of the puppy ears flitting across his skin, however, that made his control snap. He pulled his fingers free with a sound similar to a whine and got back to his knees, gently pushing Gamzee onto his back. He leaned down and kissed him deeply and reached between them, gripping the larger boy's cock. He held it in his fist upright and lowered himself, positioning it against his entrance.

Gamzee's eyes widened and his ears were as physically perked as they could possibly be. He kissed Karkat back, still in shock over the whole ordeal. The way Karkat was sinking onto his dick though; it was like a fire lit behind his eyes. A mewl left Gamzee's mouth and his hips arched. It felt so good that he couldn't even be distracted enough to wag his tail.

Karkat mewled quietly with the way he was being stretched, more than his fingers could ever do. He lapped greedily, hungrily at Gamzee's mouth, nibbling the flesh, sucking at it, delving inside. He continued to take Gamzee into him, making noises akin to whimpering into the male's mouth, until his hips were pressed flush against his ass, his shaft fully unsheathed inside him. He took a moment to rest his head against his shoulder, gasping, still trying to get used to the sensation of being so filled.

Gamzee's hands fell to Karkat's sides, his palms massaging up and down his ribs. He arched softly, the heat and utter tightness engulfing his arousal was enough to have Gamzee soundlessly beg for more friction and sensation. He kissed softly around Karkat's jugular and up to his ear, sucking it slowly.

Karkat mewled in pleasure at the sensation of Gamzee's mouth on his ear and took a deep breath before he lifted himself off slowly once more to drop onto his shaft once again, much quicker this time, repeating the motion again and again, faster each time. He sat back and pulled Gamzee up with him into a sitting position, one hand moving to play with an ear while his other stroked the base of the puppy's tail.

Gamzee's body was going into shock at the sensations and pleasures he was feeling. The pup gently thrust upwards, meeting Karkat's movements. He didn't want the other to do everything. He wrapped his arms around Karkat's waist, helping him with the rise and fall. His body felt tight and all he could do was moan into Karkat's shoulder as he bit into it.

Karkat cried out as Gamzee bit into him, clenching up around him. He rocked against him, reaching down from the pup's ear to stroke his own cock, rubbing the leaking head against both their stomachs. He leaned forward, grazing his teeth lightly on a furry ear. "That's it, Gamzee. Fuck me hard..."

A growl left Gamzee's throat at the way Karkat bit at his ear. He bucked his hips up, a little more demanding now. His fingers gripped into Karkat's sides, forcing the smaller male down onto his cock as he thrust into him. Several groans passed Gamzee's lips as he felt the pressure of Karkat's hands on his tail and the fluid trailing down his stomach.

Karkat moaned around the fur between his lips and wrapped his legs around Gamzee's waist, the movements made easier with the hybrid gripping his body, helping him move. His grip on both his cock and the tail tightened and he realized he was getting close already. He whimpered quietly, not wanting to finish before he made Gamzee feel good. He gave a slightly harder nip to his ear before gasping into it. "I want you to come inside me, Gamzee..."

Gamzee's body stutter-stepped at Karkat's words. They sent shock waves straight to his dick. He pushed Karkat onto his back before thrusting into him again, having far better control over his hips. The dog kissed and laved at the bed owner's chest, his hips pistoning inside of him. Karkat was so tight, so perfect around his cock; it didn't take long for Gamzee's ears to flatten and his tail to stop wagging as his stomach flipped and he came in hot spurts, filling the small male.

Karkat gasped in surprise when he found himself on his back staring up at the dog as he pounded into him. The change in position made him tighten up, clenching harder around him. He yelled with every thrust, bringing his hands to squeeze Gamzee's ass frantically. He felt it when Gamzee came inside him, filling him with his hot cum, and the sensation set him off, a hand moving to jerk himself quickly into completion, crying out Gamzee's name.

Gamzee slumped against Karkat's shoulder, his breathing just pants. His tail started wagging tiredly and he kissed the bitemark he left on Karkat's shoulder. He pulled out of Karkat, a gasp leaving his lips at the sensation. He didn't know what to say; he just looked down at Karkat, noticing the puddle of spunk on his stomach. Slowly, he dipped his head, lapping at Karkat's tummy, cleaning it.

Karkat lay, breathing heavily, eyes closed as he basked in the afterglow. He opened one eye when he felt a tongue on his stomach and he moaned quietly at the sight. "You don't have to do that, you know," he whispered quietly. He reached up to scritch his ears, smiling tiredly at him.

Gamzee shrugged and smiled. He looked up at Karkat and nuzzled his face into the small, now clean, stomach. He leaned into the other male's hand, loving the feeling of Karkat's fingers in his fur. "Wanted to," he answered softly.

Karkat smiled down at him and continued to pet him. He didn't know why, but he fought the urge to just pull Gamzee up and kiss his beautiful flicking ears over and over again. Sleepily, He laid back into the fluff of his pillows, happily murmuring about being able to get used to having a new person in the house.
