It hasn’t been for me to date. [ he didn’t talk about things with jade or terezi or karkat. not really. he doesn’t exactly with john as much as he should. but even so. ] Call it an experiment.
We'll see if it lives up to the height then. [And so, the song ends and the last one begins, allowing John to spin them in tempo and pick up pace again.]
Coincidentally I feel the same. [There's another grin.] Sometimes I think I have never liked anyone quite so much. It's strange, isn't it? In a good way.
[ he remembers a conversation about maybe being in love but probably not and the way he has felt and remembers feeling for other people. dave would destroy everything he was for rose, and he would miss john every day they were apart. those are facts, at least, easy to hold onto.
rose is his counterpoint and counterpart and the dark to his light and light to his dark. he doesn’t know how to be himself without other people sometimes. ]
It's the other Carly Rae Jepsen song I haven't made you listen to. [Whatever that means, and he hums along with the song playing as they dance.] I thought about it and thought maybe it was overkill but I really like you. A lot. Even if sometimes I am not great at saying so.
[ but he means it the way he always meant it, it’s just. now an awkward sentiment. ]
But it’s a little awkward to say when it’s to someone you’re dating and you don’t mean it the way it’s normally meant in that context? But I almost got used to saying it.
[He gives him another contemplative look because he sort of thought that's what Dave was referencing but didn't want to believe it.]
...love is kind of a broad term, I think. And I think even if it's not used in the way it's normally meant yet, I still love you. That part's true. Is it still true for you?
No, John, you completely stopped being one of the fundamentally important people in my life the second you kissed me. I lost any and all appreciation for you as a person at that point in time, and absolutely none of the bullshit that resonates before does anymore. Like your laugh and dumbass sense of humor and how you genuinely care about people even if you’re an oblivious asshole sometimes, and your inexplicable love for winter, and how you always come back.
[ that was obviously sarcasm ]
Of course I still love you. You’re my best friend.

The song? It can probably be pulled up on YouTube so yeah. Why? Wanna switch?
no subject
Not that your playlist isn’t amazing, but kinda.
no subject
I can switch it if you want. I'll just need to switch apps really quick.
no subject
Maybe later?
