"Cronus is rather, as you put it, 'sleazy'. That is undeniable, but he needs someone to listen to him. Quite certainly everyone does. People often can't stand him, as is the same way most think of me for my long dialogues. So, I took it upon myself to help him out. Gamzee, you are not 'messed up', as you said. What makes you think such a thing?"

"Kankbro, you know what I did… I'm just a motherfucking psycho being all up and calmed by medication. What if it happened again and you got motherfucking hurt?"

"Gamzee, you are a very kind person. You can't help that you have psychological difficulties. Yes, I know what you did, but you're on your proper medication again, so I don't worry about it. Quite honestly, I find your company rather enjoyable." I said with a smile, my gaze directed at my food.

I glanced up and saw Gamzee looking at me with a smile across his face.

"Heh, thanks Kankbro."

I smiled again, then set to eating my pizza. He did the same. We sat in a comfortable silence as we ate, my stuffed crab resting beside me. I side glanced at it, and couldn't help the little smile that crossed my face. I seemed to be doing a lot of smiling this evening. Suddenly, Cronus's question popped into my head again. I couldn't help but wonder, is this a date?

I glanced at Gamzee, who was stuffing his face. I couldn't help but smile again at his childishness. Could I feel that way about him? There was a point when such a notion would have been immediately shot down, but… now… I'm… I'm not so sure. I then realized that I was sort of staring at him and immediately averted my gaze to something else. I started up a random conversation to escape those thoughts for now. He happily listen and contributed.

It was nice, until he saw Tavros. He's had a long unrequited crush on the wheel chair bound boy. I heard that nervous little voice and watched Gamzee's attention immediately shift over. I pushed myself to smile at Tavros when he greeted me. He and Gamzee were momentarily engaged in a conversation. I sighed quietly to myself, wanting to just wander off.

I wasn't jealous… I just… found it rude of him to leave mid-conversation. As I stood, prepared to wander, I bumped into the chest of the all too familiar caretaker of Tavros.
