"Gamzee! There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you!" Karkat huffs, with a slight glare appearing on his face.
"Oh, hey bro." Gamzee speaks, in a chill, cool voice. He stands up, lifting the guitar on his back. "I didn't know you were lookin' for me. Sorry bro." The other boy stands up as well, rolling his eyes.
"What the hell are you doing out here anyway? It's cold and dark out. The gangs are all out at night you know! You
could get hurt!" He huffed.
Gamzee hadn't told him about his parental issue. "Uh, well ya' see my brotha', I just hang around the streets. Parents live far away from the school, so I had to move out." He gave the other boy a chill smile. Having not known this, Karkat blinked in amazement, how could this idiot live all out and alone? Gamzee had enough money to get him food each day, and enough for some clothes and the rest was for musical purposes. He seems to be living fine.
Karkat had always noticed Gamzee was all alone in school, so was he though. He never knew he was this alone though. Gamzee started to walk out farther away from Karkat, on the sidewalk.
"Gamzee? Where are you going?!" He spoke louder than before.
"Ah, you know man, around here somewhere."
"Jeeze, okay. How about this… You can stay with me in my apartment for a while, I guess." Karkat knew he was going to regret letting this buffoon in his apartment. Awaiting an answer, Gamzee looked back and gave the other boy a gracious smile.
"Would ya' do that for me bro? I could chill at your place for a while? That's seems cool with me them bro!"
Karkat huffed and walked over to Gamzee and nodded, showing he would let him stay. He was filled with the calming joy that awoke him. Tonight, he finally had somewhere to stay. He walked over and game the smaller man a gracious hug, squeezing him slightly, then letting go.
After letting go, Karkat had shown Gamzee the way to his apartment. They walked past many drug dealers, and through a red light district. This was not the neighborhood freshmen should be in, but it was cheap.
After about 10 blocks, they had arrived at the apartment complex. It was a normal little complex, kind of run down though. They entered the complex, walking up two, long winded stairways. They then walked down a small hallway, stopping at room 215. Karkat took out his keys, and unlocked the door, then letting his friend enter first. The walk was mostly silent, but he knew Gamzee was jumping up and down in excitement. Karkat as well, went through the door then shut it.
"Welcome to your new home, Gamzee." Karkat spoke, in a soft tone. Somehow, he thought things would all start to change.
