Chapter 2 Summary

Gamzee watches Dave and Karkat sleep… yeah.

Then he flirts with Dave… Ok?!

Dave does his best not to flip out and set off the murder clown, but it would work a lot better if Gamzee stopped petting him.

Basically Fluff, Pale Fluff, and More Fluff, with a few flushed solicitations thrown in cause Gamzee is Gamzee.

Ch. 2 Gamzee: Creep on your Moirail and Flirt With the Lusus Haired Human

I'M NoT CrEePiNg oN My pAlEbRo, I'M JuSt wAtChInG OuT FoR HiM LiKe a gOoD MoIrAiL. Gamzee thinks indignantly, while unapologetically staring at Karkat while he sleeps."He's jUsT So pItIaBlE, wItH ThOsE TiNy bLuNt hOrNs, AnD ThOsE TiNy bLuNt tEeTh." Gamzee stares at the way the night shirt he loaned Karkat has ridden up on one side all the way to his armpit, and ThOsE PrEtTy pReTtY MiRaClE ReD GiLl sLiTs, on Karkat's side where land dwellers should have grub scars.

"WaNnA TaStE YoUr gIlLs aGaIn pAlEmAtE… sO WeAk mY LoVe sO PiTiAbLe, CaN'T EvEn cLoSe yOuR OwN GiLlS. gOtTa hAvE SoMeOnE LiCk yOuR GiLlS ClOsEd fOr yOu lIkE A WiGgLeR." Gamzee purrs completely unaware that he's speaking aloud or that the human is awake and listening.

"So sWeEt mY PaLeLoVe, AnD So lOuD LiKe a mOtHeR-FuCkInG BuLlHoRn wHeN YoU GeT YoUr sHoUt oN." Gamzee waxed poetics about his Karkat for a while until his voice ran deeper, and his words got kinda scary for the human.

Gamzee broke off as the humans hand came into Gam's line of sight, and when had he gotten so close he wondered. He leaned back so he wasn't right against his Karkat, and could see the boy right beside him.

"Karkat!" Dave whispered shaking the small trolls shoulder, "Your clown needs you. He's being weird talking bout your blood and breaking bones. Karkat!"

Gamzee smiled indulgently at the human, as Karkat rolled onto his side papping the human before manhandling him into being the little spoon. "SHOOSH… GO BACK TO SLEEP 'S TOO EARLY." The tiny troll said stroking the humans face, before falling back asleep.

Dave stared over his shoulder at the huge juggalo troll with rising terror. "He didn't mean it…" Dave squeaked out "He's asleep… probably thought I was you… it's not his fault…" He flinched as Gamzee reached over and threaded, his huge fingers through Dave's hair.

"ShOoSh, LiTtLe mOtHeR-FuCkEr, AiN'T MaD At yOu." He smiled before moving to be in front of Dave, pulling him and Karkat closer and slipping one leg between Dave's thighs. "KaRbRo oNcE ShOoShEd a hOrN At hAd hOnKeD In oUr pIlE WhIlE We wAs gEtTiN OuR SnOoZe oN." He ran his fingers through Dave's hair and nuzzled the human's neck, using his most comforting voice he said "ThIs mOtHeR-FuCkEr aIn't gEtTiN HiS RaGe oN At yOu bOuT ThAt." using that same deep rumble that reminded the human instinctively of a growl.

Gamzee: Use Your Chucklevoodoos Like Karkat's Been Teaching You

HuH? i'm nOt gEtTiN My pAn aRoUnD ThAt? KaR'S BeEn tEaChIn mE AlL KiNdS Of mIrAcLeS WiTh mY VoOdOo's

Gamzee: Make Dave Not Afraid

Oh tHaT OnE, i cAn dO ThAt eAsY.

A rumble built in the clowns chest for a long moment causing the human to internally freak out more and more.

Suddenly the human smelt something really really good, and all his muscles just relaxed on their own. He buried his nose in the clowns throat, and just lay there in a fog of endorphins caused by the sudden lack of fear. After a few minutes he slipped into a deep sleep, and Gam let up on the 'DoN'T Be sCaReD I WoN'T HuRt yOu, NoThInG CaN HuRt yOu jUsT ReLaX I'Ll pRoTeCt yOu.' Voodoos.

Gamzee chuckled as he licked at the humans throat and ears, best let everyone with a working sniffer know that the Lusus Haired, Red Eyed Human was his now. He even sucked a kiss mark into the humans pale pale easily marked skin, right on his pulse point. He sucked on the spot for a long time, alternating sucking, licking, and lightly biting at it. It was so interesting to feel the difference between the beat of a troll's blood-pusher, and a humans.

When Kar started to wake from Gamzee's shifting, Gam leaned over Dave and kissed Kar back to sleep with kisses pale as bone, and stroking Karkats horn so sweet. Kar started purring and slipped back to sleep, and Gamzee went back to licking the humans throat lazily.

Gamzee: Fall Asleep With Your Teeth Full of Strider Neck

Gamzee snuggled down and fell asleep with his teeth lightly gripping Daves neck. Yeah no way that's gonna turn out badly right?

End Note

Ok so Gamzee just wouldn't shut up about it, and I just had zero control. He Ships It, and damned if his descriptions don't get me shipping it.

So no-one trusts Gamzee no matter what assurances Karkat gives them. They don't trust Gam, and they don't trust Kar to handle Gam. Karkat actually had to threaten evisceration them to let him take care of Gam, and when Gamzee immediately ran to the vents it was all they needed to know they were right. Still for Karkat's sake they don't kill Gamzee when they see him, and they don't talk bad about him in front of Karkat.

Therefore, that means that Karkat can't trust anyone but Gamzee. At least that's the way Karkat sees it.
