[ encouraging. he's never actually bothered to leave marks on anyone but it can't be that hard? hickeys aren't rocket science even though this one is on a time limit.
It's fine, I'm fine, I was not actually taking the damage James was. It just felt like I was? I think it was the partner link since nothing bruised or broke or anything. [Things John straight-up didn't tell Natalie or Keith while they were fucking around with fairies and their stupid jenga game: that.]
[Sorry Byakuya and Bucky indeed? Especially since John's not stopping Dave at all and he's shifting in his lap to be a little more comfortable, head tilting back and more or less giving Dave a green light to continue.
Granted his hands sort of fist lightly in Dave's hair and he still has free rein to talk.]
I did not think it mattered much since it wasn't mine. [It still hurt and it was still uncomfortable, but like. It was fake, maybe. He's bringing up a hand to run through Dave's hair soothingly though.] And it was but it wasn't a huge distraction. I promise.
[ there's an uneasy twist and dave leans into the touch without thinking about it even though he's more than a little distracted by what he'd just said himself. ]
Will you just ask him to be a little more careful? Once was enough.
[At least he's still warm enough that Dave's hands won't be cold and there's a quiet sort of appreciative noise while Dave's sucking on his neck and it's hard to say if this is because of what he's actually doing or because Dave's doing something in the first place. His hands trail down to the back of Dave's neck, fingers tracing along his spine a little.]
...I miss the rain a little. But the rain is cold and you probably wouldn't like it. But controlling it could be cool. Controlling anything could be cool...
[...there's a blip of confusion because what is Dave talking about? He turns his head to try and look at him but decides better of it and just presses his nose to Dave's instead.]
I'll be going with him next time to make sure. It will benefit me more than anything.
[ glad the novelty of dave taking any sort of initiative is still a thing. he shivers at john's fingers on his spine but it's not enough to distract him; john isn't being stupid and playing music yet.
he's not really sure if john's okay with biting or how okay he is with biting so he's still being pretty tentative, though. ]
[ he makes a buzzing noise. ] Wrong! I actually like the rain. I don't like bein' out in it, maybe, but it's a type of weather I don't hate for existing.
[ this is far and away the most overtly romantically affectionate john's been in front of other people, what the fuck. and it's just being weirdly close. thankfully shades are a thing so it's not...AS obvious dave's staring at john, but he just pulls back and runs a hand through his hair. ]
Didn't tell you about the second week stuff, if you still want...?
[Yet, but only because John is distracted by these things and he's pretty firmly in the "want" camp. It's want and nerves and wonder and even while Dave continues he speaks up, voice dipping an octave lower.]
[ good? john doesn't need to feel how dave feels when that happens? nat will be there in an hour from the last text so.
john's voice goes lower and dave curses the fact sound does things for him and he lets his teeth sink in and tries not to do something super pathetic like whimper. ]
[It's a very soft hiss that bottoms out into a light moan, hands tightening in Dave's hair again and otherwise not moving away. Hope Dave is happy with these consequences because John pushes into Dave's hands and keeps his neck taunt to give Dave space.]
[ his fingers dig into john's hips to keep him steady and dave doesn't seem to mind john's hands pulling at his hair? like whatever that's fine he can roll with that. he's paying way more attention to john making noises and you know what he wants to hear further noises. all the noises. a symphony of sounds he made john make.
it at least serves to make him a little less tentative, though he stops biting to run his tongue over the marks instead. ]
