[ it gets less tentative when john doesn't protest or shift away. john curls into dave and dave lets himself pull john closer and it feels better that way. he couldn't protect jade and he's failed john too many times to count, but it feels a little closer to being possible when john's secure like this. like protecting his best friend isn't impossible.
dave doesn't say goodnight, either. he just soaks in the quiet and the feeling of security and lets his mind drift. it's enough. ]
