Karkat rubbed his nose as he stepped up to the door leading to the Slytherin common room, pajamas in hand. He figured it was better to spend the night in friendly territory rather than in a dorm with Dave Strider. Ignoring the look he got from the student that stepped out from the portal, he ducked into the other house. Usually students from other houses weren't allowed in other houses dorms but Karkat was in here enough with Gamzee that he might as well have been a Slytherin himself.

Not that they'd been doing a whole lot of hanging out in the last month. He'd hardly talked to Gamzee since Tavros's birthday party and Karkat didn't know if that was because he was still attempting to find himself or if they'd stopped communicating a little bit more than they used to. Maybe that was when Gamzee started hoarding a hateboner for Professor Matteris.

Finding his way to the third year boy's dorm, Karkat hesitated a little before raising his knuckles, hoping Gamzee was in and he didn't just walk into the snake pit completely unprepared.

"Gam?"

The door was opened almost immediately by the older boy, who reached out to take Karkat's hand and pull him in, towards his bed and the privacy of the curtained off space. Gamzee never really cried, but there were times when he got upset, and his face looked long and pinched then, something tight and forced around the eyes. He looked like that now, as he tugged the Gryffindor onto his bed and then climbed after, pulling the curtains closed around them, so they were ensconced in a dim space that smelled of cigarettes and something sweet and teenage boy.
