dave's expression when dirk checks it is somewhat reminiscent of the "holy shit you grew a second head in the last five seconds" look he'd once given dirk when dirk first said i love you. in fact, that is actually exactly the expression he's giving dirk. it's something between stunned silence and weirded out and awed and disbelieving. the stalled out look he'd given dirk when dirk had said he was important - every time dirk says he's important - because it never seems any realer. ]
Oh.
[ goddamnit mouth say something more smart and meaningful and - ]
You're not really that clingy. [ or sure say something really fucking stupid. that works too. why does dave's brain ever try to have any say in anything he does, none of the attached appendages ever listen. this is his life now. saying stupid things when dumbstruck by anything that throws him.
who is he kidding, that has pretty much always been his life. ]
