You never told me that part. [But he doesn't say anything about it, allowing that thought to settle comfortably over him.] I think the same might be for me. That there's a piece of you constantly stuck with me now and...I don't know. I used to think maybe it was a little weird to connect with you so fast but considering we have been friends over a handful of timelines, it seems less weird now. Especially the more I remember about you.
Timeline differences. Do you know how a Scratch works? Probably not. It basically just switched around the meteor delivery dates. That means you, Mr. Egbert, were an old fuckin' man by the time I hit planet Earth. I don't know a whole lot about it, but I can't think of a single damn reason post-Scratch Dave Strider would collect Nicholas Cage memorabilia or have a Con Air obsession except for the phantom of a best friend.
[ because fuck that guy? ]
...So, you know. I won't forget you. I might apparently go weirdly crazy and make a museum dedicated to your terrible movie interests, but I won't forget you.
So that's how that works. [A mumble because yeah, everybody kept throwing around the word "Scratch" and he created the Scratch without actually understanding wtf he did consequence-wise. There's a wide grin though because that's kind of cool to think about. Something that could be that powerful is impressive.]
My movie tastes are not that terrible, shut up. [But he lets his arm curl around Dave's back and shoulders to pull him closer.] How in the fuck are you real sometimes, seriously. Our universe is so stupid sometimes and yet I keep wanting to know more anyway.
[There's a light hum.] At least you didn't have to wait around forever for me this time.
[ i'd say this is the most gay john has been but he did princess carry dave into the room in this very thread so i can't. :/
dave stops petting the probably sleeping at this point kitten and curls his hand against his chest, letting the other stay where it was on john's side as his arm was slung over, probably. and idk how much closer he can get but i guess john gets the top of dave's head at his neck or something. ]
The hell did I do to make you ask how I'm real? But yeah, that's the one thing I have up on post-Scratch me: I got to actually meet you.
[John: bitches about the beds Dave: suggests they move them together
You cannot pin everything on me in this one!!! But alas, Mewpac is comfortably asleep on John and John's using his free hand to remove his glasses and put them on his nightstand/desk. The little bit of light provided from a lamp gets shut off and the music plays from his spare mp3 player, I don't know why I called it a phone earlier. Either way. Here they are.]
Never mind, dude. [He's not explaining, shut up, Dave.] This timeline has been an okay one so far. That is all that matters to me.
[On the one hand, John's also a sucker sometimes. On the other hand, he's already starting to crash so Dave's only answer is an unintelligible mumble as he lets his eyes shut.]
Timelines. [It's still mumbled so like. Good luck figuring that out ig.]
he would wake john up for an explanation but dave strider is also a sucker so he just huffs an annoyed sigh into john's chest i guess and lets it go. john is lucky dave likes him or something. :/ ]
[Which is funny since most of what he was trying to convey was "I like you too much" so there you are. He doesn't move from his place and he's out within minutes, keeping both Dave and cat close.]

possibly yet but look. dave huffs out a breath. ]
Unfair.

Does it matter if it is a good thing all the same? [He's still talking for now, but it's clear he's winding down a little.]

Please?
[ - and it used to work mostly because he asked and the other person was a sucker. john egbert can probably withstand dave strider asking nicely. ]

he'll take longer to fall asleep but will eventually do so, though odds are he'll be up and about before john, so yeah.
