Don't speak

[mo_cara]

WHO: Gamzee Makara and Murdoc Donoghue
TONE: Humorous, awkward, possibly sad
RATING: R: part of this detention involves trying to teach Gamzee sex ed, so I imagine the language might get graphic, though obviously no sexy times
WHEN: September 3rd
WHERE: Murdoc's office
WHAT: Detention and sex ed for a really out of it kid.
STATUS: On-going.


Gamzee really wasn't looking forward to these detentions. He was pretty sure Professor Donoghue hated him, or at the very least found him pathetic, gross, and somewhat annoying. The Slytherin didn't normally care about that sort of a thing, but a month of serving time with someone who looked down on him so much was an uncomfortable thought. He could write lines all day, no problem, or clean whatever the man wanted him to clean, but he wasn't sure how he'd do with a lecture, if that was what was going to happen.

So it was with significant trepidation that he knocked on the DADA professor's office door, shifting from foot to foot as he waited for an answer.

He's sorry, Gamzee. So, so sorry. He's trying to be open and helpful but dear god he is the most awkward teacher in the entire school. He gives Gamzee a nod and small, half smile and he taps his fingers awkwardly on the desk as he stares at the boy.

"Has this been any help at all to you? This entire...thing. Do you think?" He asks, showing a very rare amount of uncertainty. Congratulations, Gamzee, you are seeing some colourful sides of Murdoc today.

"Is it supposed to be?" Gamzee asks, surprised, because he always thought detention was just punishment. But he guesses he has learned some stuff, and it's been kind of interesting seeing Professor Donoghue try to be nice, because he doesn't seem very good at it. "Yeah? I mean, I think so."

"It was meant to be informative, at the very least."

He sighs to himself, he tries, oh my god does he try. He would be glad to know Gamzee is acknowledging it, particularly since he's not very good at it.

He stands, pushing his chair back as he does and slipping out from behind the desk.

"You'd better head back to your dorm now, Makara."

"Yes, sir," Gamzee says, with some relief. Though he'll peruse Murdoc's instructions several times that night. "Thank you, sir."

He stands and tucks the parchment away in his robe. "I guess I'll be laying peepers on you again tomorrow."

[wwistful]

"I imagine you will, yes." He nods, giving Gamzee a strained smile before following him out the door. "Good night."

He charms his door shut and gives Gamzee another, deeper nod before turning in the other direction and heading off.
