I don't know. I'll tell you someday. [ he shifts to just hug john in a less desperate manner and more like he's just...comfortable. ] Don't go planning on doing it without me.
the end result is that dave kind of smiles at him. it's not a smirk or anything forced. he's just relieved and a little content, maybe. ]
Cool. [ he's just going to make himself comfortable on the bed, then, apparently intending to stick around? though he kind of lets john go. "kind of" since he keeps in contact, but if john wants to open his laptop again he now has enough space to do so. ]
[He doesn't bother with the laptop again, actually. Instead he makes himself equally comfortable and just settles for sticking close and thinking on things.]
...I still miss movies. [This would be a perfect movie day.]
Creepy watch you while you sleep aesthetic? ...Fuck you, but okay.
[ he doesn't sound that annoyed, because it is his own poor life choice. dave starts it up, the beat being tapped out on john's waist where his hand landed after he flung his arm over john. ]
I could stay awake just to hear you breathing...watch you smile while you are sleepin'.
[ he's likely singing too quietly, in the sense that john probably belts this tune out whenever he sings it. but hey. ]
[He's laughing under his breath because it's solely since Dave gave him full license to do whatever. Still, he recognizes the beat and he settles and just...kind of listens.
...he's maybe also just sort of low-key impressed Dave remembers the words to the song so that's a thing. He doesn't say anything about it being too quiet or anything, but his free hand on the mattress seems to be playing along with invisible piano notes.]
[ let's not talk about why dave knows the lyrics to this particular song??
he doesn't actually miss a single word in the whole thing. there's maybe too much sincerity sometimes because some of it is too true: i could spend my life in this sweet surrender, i could stay lost in this moment forever, every moment spent with you is a moment i treasure.
dave's always too aware that they exist on borrowed time, even if he's agreed to try to fix that problem and even if his only goal is sticking with john when they go back home, if the universe lets him.
by the second verse he stops being quiet and sincere and shifts to grab one of john's hands, sitting up and earnestly (dorkily) singing to him in a "this is dumb, i know it, and you know it" sort of way with almost a smile because fuck you john this is the most ridiculous song choice and the best way to survive it is to make it into a joke. ]
[He has a lot of questions why Dave knows the song word for word but he doesn't get to ask. Instead, Dave's sitting up and grabbing his hand and John settles for a laugh as his hand continues to play notes along on the mattress. It's stupid and crazy and he's happy, maybe, that it's okay to be goofy like this. Dave sings and after a few moments...John sings along? But in that overdramatic, terrible kind of way that this is definitely two dudes just goofing off.]
there's a half quietly frozen moment before dave's smile softens and he drops john's hand, putting some space between them and carefully sitting cross legged and settling his hands in his lap. ]
You asked. So maybe you started it? I believe in a court of law I could take your ass down. Clean you out for all your assets. I'd get the geese in the divorce, because no one ever taught you to sign a prenup.
[He doesn't even seem to realize Dave was holding his hand until Dave drops it. Instead, he gives him an unreadable look before...it flickers to something far more confused.]
What the fuck is a prenup? [Yeah, that's his only argument here.]

Yeah, of course. I don't mind.
