Dave's too fucking tired to bother trying to hide the shiver that runs up his spine at the tone in Gamzee's voice, and that low, deep sound that rumbles up out of his chest - and even though Dave doesn't speak alien, he knows what that sound means.

"Yeah, you'd fucking think so, wouldn't you?" he retorts, but there's not much real heat behind it - it's more just an automatic response. He gets the earring clasped in, and then just...feels it for a moment. It's...strange. He can feel it, hanging there, and when he gives it a few experimental tugs, there's a slight, stinging pain that settles into soreness. He hisses slightly.

"Fuck, how do chicks do this?"
