[Gamzee sighs into Tavros's neck, moving his head back and forth as though he could just burrow in there and hide.] Maybe.

I guess there ain't no fixing it, it just ... is. People always leave, you know? It just happens, ain't nothing that can be done.

I'm not going to leave?

-=he just stands there and lets Gamzee hold on as long as he needs to. he means what he says, he cant imagine any reason that he'd leave the school or Gamzee=-

Maybe. [softly, because he thinks Tavros will, Tavros and Karkat and anyone else he likes, because they'll eventually figure out he's not worth much, especially when they get older, and they'll just ... drift]

Glad you're here now, though.

-=the maybe makes him frown. he knows gamzee is in pain but it still hurt to think that his best friend might not have that kind of faith in him. he doesn't say anything though, probably never will=-

Why don't we, uh.. go do something, to take your mind off sad things?

[Ah, Tavros, if only you would, it might change Gamzee's perspective on a lot of things. Alas, awkward, timid teenagers.]

Like what? [Doesn't feel much up to rapping, but a distraction sounds nice. Since he's out of illicit substances for the moment to numb the hurt.]

-=people rarely if ever believe in him so why should gamzee? it's just the way things are=-

Uhhhh....

-=unfortunately he didn't have much of a plan beyond 'best friend needs a hug"=-

Maybe we could, uh... go for a walk? and talk about things that are fun and uplifting?

[Gamzee does! He just ... doesn't really connect that with people abandoning him. He should really probably talk about this some day so he can realize he's being a dick in his thoughts to his most excellent bro.]

Okay. [doesn't really want to let go, though, so he'll press his face into Tavros's hair for a few moments, then pull back only a little, still leaving one arm around the smaller boy]

I ain't so good at thinking of fun stuff right now. [apologetically]

-=they both need to suck it up and stop being stupid.

tavros doesn't pull away, not really planning on it until gamzee wants too go=-

Well, it's not your job, as the sad one to, uh... think of fun stuff. It is mine, as the friend, to take control of the situation, to help lessen the sad that you are feeling. And hopefully, insert some happiness to replace it, if at all possible.

Yeah, I guess that has got some sense all tangled up in it. 'Cause you're the hero and shit. [thoughtfully, relaxing a little against Tavros - he can trust his bro, he knows, and if anyone can cheer him up, it's the Hufflepuff]

Haha, yes! That is me! Valiant hero and healer of broken hearts! -=he clears his throat=- Or at least, distracter of broken hearts?

-=he tightens the arm around his friend=- I would say, lets go watch a movie, and eat lots of bad for us food, but uh... I think the closest we have, is if I read a book to you, or something.

I wish we could have movies. [Gamzee agrees moodily, but really, he needs the company more than the tv right now.] Books are cool, though. I ain't doing much reading, except for class. You could be reading me your fave, with the flying motherfuckers, yeah?

I can, certainly do that, yes! -=he tugs on his best friend's arm, aiming to get them out of the drafty hall=- Or I could, read something about clowns but... I don't know any stories, like that.

Yeah, I ain't got no books on those dudes, anyway. [going where he's tugged, still leaning on Tavros] I ain't really in the mood for them, anyway. I want to hear about your flying kids what wear the animal clothes and fight pirates and shit.

The real story, is a lot different than the Disney movie, that everyone knows. Most people, don't realize that. -=he tries to keep gamzee distracted even as they walked=- They don't actually, dress like animas... but they do kill pirates!

Like Professor Donoghue? 'Cause I wouldn't want to try to be killing him, he'd get all mad and shit. [sounds subdued, but at least a little more engaged in the conversation] He could probably kick everyone's arse.

I think trying to kill someone, would make anybody mad. -=he smiles up at him, leading him towards the hufflepuff common just so he can run in and get his bood=- It sounds upsetting.

Nah, some people would get all scared, screaming and running and shit. [flatly] He'd just be all trying to lecture you while he beat ten shades of shit outta you, though.

[Gamzee can wait here for Tavros!]

And made you write, yards of lines about proper beatings.

-=he gave gamzee a gentle squeeze=-

Just wait a sec, while I go get the book!

-=he'll be in an out as fast as his braces can carry him! faster if he doesn't fall down on the way=-

[Gamzee smiles faintly for the joke that would normally have him honking in merriment - but at least he's trying. While he waits for Tavros, he leans against the cold stone wall, his shoulders drooping in, staring down at his shoes, like he's just sort of turning himself off when his friend isn't there. The moment the Hufflepuff arrives again, the taller boy attaches himself, entirely unselfconsciously. Other people might worry about being a burden, but all Gamzee can really think about is the fact that he doesn't want to feel alone, and he knows Tavros won't let him be.]

-=Tav doesn't mind, though he can feel the weight of every set of eyes that looked at them funny and it bothered him like it did whenever he was being stared at for whatever arbitrary reason, but he doesn't let go or pull away. he never would=-

You have a place, that you would like to go to be relaxing?

[shrugs] Sometimes I go hang out under the Quidditch bleachers when I want to smoke? But it's all wintery and shit out there now. [Of course there are warming charms, but Gamzee's not exactly thinking about that right now - he's just thinking he never made out with Shinra there, so he won;'t be bombarded with painful memories.]

We could, uh... make our robes keep us warm? Or, maybe... find a quiet crevice in the library, if you don't want to go outside in the cold? -=he keeps the book tucked away in the sleeve of his robe for now, hanging close to Gamzee=-

[hadn't even considered the library, and he nods at this thought, now] I guess we should be going where the other books is at, yeah. If you think they ain't gonna be kicking our arses out for talking?

We can find, a quiet little place maybe. And be careful. -=he could read quietly. he thinks so anyway=-

Yeah. [Gamzee's smile was a little sad and strained, thinking about how he and Shinra used to have to be careful. But this was different, and he needed it, so he just clung a little tighter to Tavros.] Let's do it.
