[They're differences he can spot the longer he thinks about it and the longer he analyses Dave. This was more the Dave he was used to, and even though he'd loved the Dave from the month before he smiled much easier and allowed him to be as affectionate as possible, this was the Dave that he loved more than anything else he could think of.
The difference was clear, and while it wasn't love versus not loving, it was the kind of effect of love that was different.
Frenching his boyfriend is still one of John's favorite hobbies, currently, and it's almost mindless and comforting to be able to do so. He doesn't care that he's stuck in his shirt (well, he kind of cares, but he doesn't want to stop either) and instead it's moving mouths and wandering hands. He shudders a little under Dave's hands even through the fabric of his t-shirt (reactive by touch more than most people) and his hands slide back down Dave's sides and thumbs press into his hips.
It's harder to stay in full control after a month of Dave minding less, but he manages to keep the lower half of his body still and focus on kissing instead. He does, however, relax a little more to give Dave more space and liberty to touch. So that's a thing.]
