[It doesn't matter what Dave's doing. It doesn't matter because it's not as important as whatever John thinks is important, and thus he's making it a point to find his boyfriend immediately. And, you know, once he's found he's just draping himself over Dave's shoulders and tilting his chin up so he can kiss him. It's slow and deliberate and he holds himself there for a few moments before he pulls back, still wrapped around Dave's back.]
It has been exactly one year since I remembered you were a part of my life, and it's been the best year of my life.
[Hi Dave. One year ago, John played a song that he'd picked up in a dream and learned that someone special was waiting for him and a whole other life was meant for him to remember.]
[ like. okay, dave has no idea what's going on when john drapes and maybe opens his mouth to say something but wow, okay, kissing is occurring and he's fine with that? he's more than fine with that, especially since all he was doing was his homework on the couch in the living room.
so.
john pulls back and says words and they are words that just...cause dave to drag john back down for another kiss. hi, john. ]
[It's fine. He practically flips over the couch but he holds himself up via flight, hovering enough to keep his mouth on Dave's and also not totally bite it. It's important, a milestone he subconsciously kept track of and something that almost means more to him than the day they officially started dating. He doesn't mind that Dave's response is a kiss...it's something he's grown used to now. He does break away though slowly and carefully, hands cupping Dave's face as he leans forward to peck his lips again.]
I think that's my line. [ dave can apparently still sound dazed after they kiss. that will never stop being a thing, maybe, because john never fails to feel like an adrenaline rush. ]
Yeah, well, I stole it. [There's a bright grin.] And since it's the twelfth, I am also stealing you. Come on. Finish your homework later. I want to check out some stuff.
Well...have you been to that digital grid yet? One of the other stops on the train. We might have to travel separately but we can meet there and I'll explain everything from there. I have an idea.
Is that a threat or a promise? [He ducks his head under the ruffle and he laughs to himself.] Let's go then. The train station's not that far and the ride should be short.
I regret asking suddenly. [He grabs his keys and he hauls Dave out of the house and toward the car.] The train station in Viea Village isn't that far. Like. It's new and that alone is weird, but I'm just accepting everything at this point.
Whatever, you know you'll do it. [ dave lets himself be dragged and automatically waits for john to get the door as he keeps talking. ] Rolling with things is the best policy here.
After a while I think we all kind of got over thinking this place was weird. [He opens the door, ushers Dave in, and gets in himself to drive.] I've talked to a few people I haven't met before who seem to think the same thing.
I gave Eren Rose's walkthrough to read before we all got sucked into whatever this is, so I was re-reading it, too. You're right. Home was probably worse because we had people watching us constantly.
You mean besides the fact I didn't know I was into guys yet. [He shrugs.] He didn't say too much about it but I think that's because his world's pretty fucked up, too. Did you hear about what showed up recently?
It's Eren. It's weird for him, but he's handling it in his own Eren way. I think I'd be a little freaked out if I were him, too. Especially if I remembered I was a titan shifter.
[Driving, driving.] Makes me wonder what would happen if something like LOWAS or LOHAC showed up.
