[Action; 1338 Benny Road]

[After his conversation/ambiguous break up with Terezi, Karkat heads back to his own hive. He slams the door to his respite block, locks it, and doesn't come out or let anyone in until his lusus comes up to check on him and makes him move the dresser away from his door.

After that, if you want to come in and find him, he's sitting on his bed eating ice cream and watching troll Hitch on his husktop with Crabdad.]

What do you do if you need to switch hives? Is there a form to fill out or something?

[don't cry don't fucking cry

okay no it actually would take a lot more than this to make Gamzee cry, but he does look pretty depressed about it no best friend don't go]

Sure, if that's what you gotta do to be feeling better...you're coming back though, right?

[O...oh

He feels pretty guilty about that, but that's exactly the problem here. It's not fair of him to be upset based on a relationship they don't actually have, and trying to force this to work is just unhealthy.]

I haven't even decided where I'm going, don't ask for my plans. I'm not even actually allowed to leave for long.

[Gamzee doesn't know it, but the look on his face right now is pretty damn similar to his expression whenever his lusus leaves, a mixture of forced cheerfulness, resignation, and something a little lost.]

Yeah, all right. If I can be doing anything to help, just say the motherfuckin' word and I"m there.

Sure, whatever. You'll be fucking busy doing whatever the fuck you do with Harley. I don't even want to imagine what a shithole this place will be.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Aww, hivesis ain't bad at all about messing shit up. It'll be fine, everything'll all stay the same.

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you won't even know I'm gone.

[miraculls.livejournal.com]

Yes, I will. [says this a bit blankly, because of course he'll notice, why would anyone say otherwise...]

[crusthatecean.livejournal.com]

It's a figure of speech.

[But that wasn't really how he meant it, since he knows how well they get along. He doesn't want to stay here and be upset every time he has to deal with Gamzee, but he also doesn't want to leave and let the two of them get so close they don't need him anymore.]
