You wouldn't. [ a soft laugh, and he runs his hand through john's hair again, before dave starts lightly massaging his scalp because he...can? ] But we can totally pretend you would if that helps.
[There's a pathetic sort of noise as he presses into Dave's hand. This is nice at least.]
Don't make fun of me, jerk. [Even he knows that's true though.] I didn't use a hammer on the green-skull guy either even when he hit me with a rod or something.
[It relaxes him at least.] ...monsters are different. [He doesn't give enough of a shit about killing monsters, it seems.] But I am kind of at a loss what else to do defense-wise.
You don't hesitate with monsters. [There's a sigh into Dave's chest.] Soon. And laser tag with Natalie sometime during break, I already asked her. [A beat.] It's cold.
Because lifting my arms kind of hurts, shut up. [But he's smirking a little anyway before he rolls to let Dave up. Once the shirt's retrieved he'll slowly sit up to slip into it before he kicks at their covers.]
Poor baby. [ but despite the slightly mocking tone he's gentle when he gets back into bed, helping shift the covers up and over them. he's almost weirdly cautious, except he's never actually rough with john so maybe it's not that weird after all. ]
Not yet. [And it's weirdly serious and maybe something that doesn't involve Dave specifically that John won't talk about right now.] Can't get bored with you either. And I sleep more than you do, thanks.
Not ever. Two lifetimes, but I still want to hear every dumb anecdote to happen to you ever. [ his hand keeps moving. ] At least rest your eyes. I'm okay with a lazy day, dude. It's not some huge inconvenience here?
Mm...if you say so. [Content. Quiet.] I am really excited because tomorrow is Christmas Eve which means a lot of cool stuff. I know I have the monopoly on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but do you want to stop by your place to see your family for a little bit?
Yeah, I get it. [A slight huff.] It's mostly up to you. I do not mind if you want to see them and do the "this is my smoking hot and buff boyfriend" thing but I also don't mind having you selfishly to myself for the day. Whatever.
[If he jokes about these things he'll want to scream less about being a bad boyfriend.]
You're in charge? [ for the 24th, he means. and the 25th. ] I'm okay either way. Although I refuse to introduce you with those adjectives. They might be true, but I'm not gonna use 'em.
I am not sure "whimsical fuck" is what I want to be known as forever but I get your point. We can worry about it later, we have a few days and I just want to spend the rest of today and tomorrow with only you.

Whatever, no one said you had to say. [Other than John's immediately winding an arm around Dave's waist to make sure he can't leave.]
