[Tilts head at the frown and answers slowly:]

I know you wouldn't force yourself on him, calm down. But like I said, he might end up fooling around with guys because let's face it - he's still pretty young.

[Hesitates and shrugs before adding:]

I didn't know I liked guys until really recently, and I'm 16.

[Glances to the side and rubs the back of his neck before giving Gamzee a sympathetic look.]

A month sucks, but I doubt he's doing it to keep you away from his son. I mean, he gave Maxim the same amount of detention didn't he?

[mo_cara]

Yeah, but Maxim's always making out with everyone, he'd probably make out with Eridan, too. [Gamzee points out, then cocks to his head to one side.] You like dudes? What about girls?

[greenmoonrising]

[Shrugs, looking awkward- well, more awkward than usual.]

Haven't thought about them - hadn't thought about guys either but... you notice one. Then something clicks. I guess I just don't care, I'm not one for pursuing romantic relationships. [Smiles a bit crookedly.]

[mo_cara]

But what about this motherfucker you noticed? [leaning in curiously]

[greenmoonrising]

[Blinks at and ducks his head.]

Um, what about him?

[mo_cara]

You ain't wanting to get with him, if you could?

[greenmoonrising]

Of course I do, but that's never going to happen because he's as straight as a ruler, no bends whatsoever.

[Smiles lopsidedly.]

What's puberty without a few one-sided crushes?

[mo_cara]

[Gamzee glances down at his hands briefly, face shadowed, but he looks like his normal, cheerful self when he looks back up again.] I guess you'd be all like Amelia if everyone you liked liked you.

[greenmoonrising]

[Pauses a moment and gives a gentle squeeze to Gamzee's shoulder, not saying anything before addressing what was said.]

Aha, yeah... not sure I could handle that much attention really.

[mo_cara]

I think you got to have some fine, bouncy chest bumps to be handling that. [Gamzee declares solemnly, as if the concept of boobs allowing a person to be more comfortable with being paid attention to makes perfect sense.]

[greenmoonrising]

[Just sputters and laughs because the image of himself with boobs is just- pffff- (oh irony)]

[mo_cara]

What? [confused look]

[greenmoonrising]

[Kills the laughter with difficulty and grins.] Just had a moment imagining me as a girl. It was pretty hilarious.
