[The tall form behind Karkat goes utterly still. Oh, Gamzee keeps breathing, and his arms stay wrapped, but other than that, he's become a statue, for at least about ten seconds.]

You'd want to do that with me?

[There's a little extra lilt to his voice there, his accent just a touch thicker. He's genuinely surprised - Gamzee's pretty used to liking people a hell of a lot more than they like him. That's just life, and he's cool with it. The fact that Karkat would actually suggest some sort of shared activity like that, that could take ... hell, months! Is more than a little shocking. It makes something in his chest tighten and wince, because he wants to think the Gryffindor is genuine, but this. This could get yanked away from him again so easily.]
