He curled into his friend's side. "Yeah...I don't really like the dark planet anymore."

He nodded. "I understand that.. I just can't seem to get used to how bright it is here..."

Gamzee hummed. "I still go out in the dark mostly...the sun chaps my skin."

"Dave's okay with that...?"

Gamzee looked away. "Dave doesn't like most things I do..."

"That doesn't sound like he's too flushed for you then..."

The troll was quiet. "Can we change the subject?"

"Sure... how are you liking Earth?"

"It's ok..." He said softly. "Kind of lonely I suppose..."

He nodded. "It's lonely alright... John isn't much help back home"

He wiped away purple tears. "I know what you mean."

"Hey... No crying..." He said and slipped out of the bed to get a tissue.

Gamzee grabbed his arm. "Don't be getting up...you need to get better."

"I'm fine Gamzee... I've suffered worse..." He said as though it was a normal thing.

The troll growled a little. "Take care of yourself."

He paused before laying back down. "Fine"

He nuzzled at his friend, then went to kiss him, only to jump back as the door opened.

Katkat was red, but he simply shut his eyes and acted asleep.

The person who entered was Dave, completely furious. "How. Dare. You." His voice was a low grumble and Gamzee trembled, backing away. Dave grabbed a large handful of curly black hair and yanked, then slapped his matesprit. "Come with me." The furious Dave demanded, slapping Gamzee again when he sobbed. "Shut up."

Rage once again coursed through his veins and he flung himself out of the bed. "What the hell did I tell you?!" He grabbed the Strider teen by his shirt's collar. "You don't fucking hurt my moirail!!"

Gamzee was yanked with Dave, being slung into a wall where he slumped. Dave pushed Karkat off of himself and glared. "This is YOUR fault!" He tried to wake up his matesprit, not getting a response.

He glared. "Get away from Gamzee. You don't fucking deserve to touch him."

"And you do?! You abandoned him you little shit!"

"I'm not even saying I deserve it! But at least I don't fucking slap him!" Karkat grabbed Dave and threw him out of the room before shutting and locking the hospital door. He grabbed the phone and called down to security to have Dave removed, but just hung it up before he even dialed. He however, went to Gamzee. "Gamzee... Wake up please..."

Dave beat on the door angerly and Gamzee remained unresponsive.
