knightime | [Closed] Day(care) Dreamers

There's a clatter as the box in Dave's hands drops to the floor. Dave's eyes widen behind his sunglasses as he feels John's breath on his own and John's lips pressed against his. His mind just goes completely blank. Dave doesn't even know whether to panic or not, just that it was taking a long time to process that John Egbert is kissing you against the side of his car.

Of course he doesn't kiss back. That would be really weird. He doesn't move away either though. Dave was just kind of frozen in place, the initial shock still slowly wearing off.

John. What are you doing?

John doesn't really pull away at first, there is seriously no way to just blow this off. Is there? Yeah not likely. So he's just going to actually end the kiss with the soft smack of his own lips. He isn't sure if Dave even did anything during that kiss at all. Probably not, but that was definitely okay.

"Uh.." Yeah he really has no good excuse for this. He just kind of stays where he's at, no real interest in moving at the moment. Just looking down at the parking lot. Wow this is really embarrassing.

Uh Indeed. Well, if you were trying to make this not awkward, you did a really shitty job. Shit just got more awkward.

"Is that how you normally stop people in their tracks, or am I just a special case?" He's glad it's dark, because his face is probably unbelievably red now. He shifts a bit in an awkward manner. He can't even say he didn't like it because suddenly being pinned between John and the side of his car was...well it's a nice fantasy once in awhile.

"I'm pretty sure you didn't do that so you can have me rate your kisses, but I always thought you were into girls. Don't really swing that way or nothin' so..." He kind of just trails off. "You going to keep me here, John? Cause this whole...thing. This is kind of uncomfortable for me in a lot more ways than you are actually aware of."

Shit is more awkward than it was five minutes ago, yes. But it did stop Dave from leaving him right away.

"I think you're a really special case. I really haven't kissed someone in a really long time. You just, you were trying to leave! I saw it in some crappy love film once and it just seemed right." John is being more and more awkward by the second. He wasn't even thinking about this when he did it, he hadn't really thought of the fact that he never really explored things like his stance on sexuality. Jesus christ this was getting more and more awkward.

"Oh, shit.." He was really hoping Dave didn't pop a boner or something from that. Really hoping he didn't, because John is keeping him here until they talk about what they need to talk about.

"You did it because a shitty romcom told you that this was a good idea. Should I remind you it was a romcom? One that was probably a guy chasing after the main female? Do i look like I'm Jennifer Aniston trying to run away from my deep, dark, romantic feelings of how I'm head over heels with the attractive male protagonist?" Oh my god, he's actually babbling at this point. He's a mix between embarrassed, flustered, and just kind of freaking out. "Should I remind you that you just stopped me in what should have been the most romantic way if it were not completely dumb while implying that my hormones are as straight as rainbows?"

He really needs to shut himself up. This is just so dumb. "Oh shit indeed. What do you want? Other than trying to shove your tongue down my throat to apparently stop me from going home."

"It was a romcom, I was just trying to not go directly for that term in general. You might now be into that shit you know? Dude, you aren't Jennifer Aniston. You would be way hotter than her anyways." John is babbling off into another world right now, he was totally complimenting Dave in the attractive light. Yeah, Dave is pretty attractive now that he thinks about it.

"Are you implying that perhaps you swing my way?" Okay John could totally deal with that. He'd only ever kissed a girl, and Dave. Not that he was totally counting Dave's kiss or anything since he didn't kiss back or anything.

This is really getting incredibly silly. "I want to finish the conversation we had in the car. But I didn't want you to feel cornered and well, look what I'm doing."

Dave might have instinctively tried stepping back even if the car was obviously in his way. John did a really good shutting Dave up. He wasn't sure if John was being facetious or if he actually meant it. But Dave definitely looked fairly flustered about it. God, he can feel his ears burning even.

"I'm saying that I like guys and aren't we working a little too fast? Just a few hours ago, I was pretty sure that my life was ending and now you're trying to get in my pants. How about we try and move a little slower. Shit doesn't happen overnight because Lalonde decided to be a sneaky fucking bitch about this all."

He lets out a long sigh. "You have me pinned against your car. I'm sorry, but what were we talking about exactly? What was that about being friends again? Let me shove my tongue into your mouth. This is how I say hello."

John wasn't really being facetious at all. John was actually being quite serious when it came to telling someone how they looked. If he said they looked really attractive, even more so than Jennifer Aniston. Then he wasn't joking. This was not a drill Dave, your ears are burning for the right reasons.

"Dude. I'm not saying it's bad you like guys. Whoa, were we moving somewhere really? Like I'm pretty sure you life isn't ending and like I guess me kissing you is like a really rad birthday present?"

Okay so he isn't sure that he's okay or comfortable with what he just did. He is literally not sure what is running through his head. "Well yes I still want to be friends, and I want to clear up any misunderstandings from back then. But man I really think I just won the award for most awkward friend and everything.."

Dave isn't ever going to get used to that. And he knows from experience that people find him attractive. It's just something he's still trying to come in terms with.

"Kissing would be nice if I had a relationship that lasted longer than a month that didn't end terribly because the other guy was just interested in getting sex." Wow, this is getting TMI. Need to really switch subjects.

"I'm pretty sure we cleared any misunderstandings and if you really want to be real pals, than I guess that's cool. I need more people in my life that doesn't make me want to tear my hair out. Just, let's not do the whole random kissing thing. For now on, I will respond to being told to stop. You kiss your girlfriend, not your guy friend whom you just reconciled with. In case you weren't sure."

But had anyone ever found Dave attractive for the right reasons? He had a great smile, his hair was soft, his lips were a dream. Any guy would be lucky to have such a good guy! Not that John was thinking anything of the sort. Nope, he was totally gonna deny that thought the light of day.

John raised his hand to put it on Dave's cheek, but he denies himself that thought as well and just steps away from Dave. He was really speechless about all of this. It seems he'd really screwed up. But Dave still wanted to be friends and everything?

"I don't have a girlfriend."

Dave kneels down to pick up his dropped box. This was quite the birthday indeed. Mostly, it was the most awkward moment of his life, but whatever.

"Of all the things you could have zoned on, you comment about that. I didn't actually mean you had one or not. But last I checked, you were very adamant about liking cute girls. Not the creepy albino who takes care of your friend's daughter." He's still pretty sure, there's nothing all that attractive about his appearance. "And don't start singing a different tune, because making out with me against your car and then saying you just want to be friends is either the hugest cock block or the worst mixed signal you can give anyone that's as flaming as I am."

John bends down to help, putting items back in it that had fallen. Mostly he was giving himself mixed signals.

"I don't want you to hold your hopes out on me, Dave. Yes I don't want t be friends again." But he didn't want Dave to hope for something more if John couldn't determine his own sexuality. To be frank, he'd only ever kissed one girl. That was probably his third or fourth kiss over with anyone.

"Don't read it as a mixed signal. I'm pretty sure I just confused myself. I'm really sorry." John will watch Dave walk home when he decides this conversation is over. He will make sure Dave arrives safe from a safe distance.

There wasn't much in it. It was a lot of packaging popcorn, but it looked like there were headphones inside the box.

"I'm fine with being friends. Just don't make out with me again. Sounds like a pretty easy thing to do. Keep it platonic, right?" Dave doesn't even really try dating anymore. It usually doesn't end well, so it's better just not trying.

There's a slight eyebrow raised over the dark frames. "You should check yourself before doing stupid shit." He might have smiled a bit. "Do you always just do shit because you see it in a movie? Because I've seen people jump from bridges, but I really hope you don't try pulling that because you saw it in a movie."

John wouldn't delve into the purpose of the box. Not right now anyways.

"Right, definitely no making out again. Very easy." He nodded justly and almost defeated. He didn't know what to think about what he just did- still. He wasn't in the dating ring. He was available, but not. Who would want him anyways?

"Not all the time, I just thought that was going to be the best way to stop you from leaving right away. Shocking you was likely my best tactic? But i had no idea you were actually.." John is gonna stop himself there. He had a notion that Dave was gay, why didn't he believe this notion.

"But yeah, I won't jump off a bridge dude."

"Glad to know we figured out the line between platonic and romantic. Learn something new everyday." Now he's just teasing John.

"You can rest easy to know that it worked. I'm definitely not leaving at the moment, but you kind of just pinned me against your car. It's kind of hard to just up and leave when your ways out is either between the car and a person." Dave pursed his lips lightly. "You ain't a homophobe right? Or is saying gay too scary for you?" He doesn't think John is actually a homophobe, but he'd hate to think the other couldn't handle saying the words even.

"Good, because I can't swim, so I can't go being a hero trying to save your sorry ass."

"Yeah, totally." He tries to laugh a little, he knew Dave was trying joke with him now. He hoped anyways.

John moves to give Dave a little room. "Considering i'm questioning my own sexuality at the moment, no I'm not a homophobe. I never have been." John can honestly say he never had any gay friends, but he didn't actively make fun of them either. that was just like someone making fun of him for being a dork. "I accept fully that you are gay, and that's cool with me." they were still going to be best bros no matter what. John knew it.

"then why don't I teach you how to swim, it's not hard really."

"Sorry for being incredibly irresistible. I'll try to town it down so guys like you don't get stuck wondering whether to swing for the other team or not." Not that he actually considered himself irresistible. "Oh cool. I accept you fully for being sexually confused." This is a dumb conversation. Why are they having it?

"Because I'm not interested. I'm not really into swimming. I'm as pasty as you can get. If there were anything such as pigment, it basically ollied outtie faster than a fat kid on candy. I burn anyways. The weather here is convenient enough that I can wear long sleeves and pants all the time so I don't have to apply as much sunscreen to go out." It was a bit of a nuisance for all the precautions he had to take for being albino.

"Thanks man, great to know I have support in this difficult time trying to sort out my brain." Wow Dave, stop being so right. He is right about being incredibly irresistible and John is totally blushing at that and will deny it every which way.

"Dude, it's really easy. One day, just you and me. We'll go swim in YMCA kiddie pool or something." He laughs a little, the YMCA was probably the only place with a heated pool anyways so it would be the perfect warm, and un-sunlit place to go for Dave if they were ever going to get him swimming.

"I'm basically the most considerate guy you'll ever meet." Dave's standards are painfully low. Anyone basically is above him on whatever fucked up hierarchy he has in his head.

"Fuck you. I already saw my life flash before my eyes because of water. Not everyone has gills, like you do. Maybe if I were part fish, this swimming thing would go better." Dave just doesn't really want to learn. Swimming is dumb and uncool. He doesn't need to burn nor does showing off his pasty skin really ping him as attractive.

John doesn't even have an existing standard, thank you very much. His standards are so low and his self esteem is so shot he doesn't even care what kind of girl...or perhaps boy now were to come his way. AS long as they aren't trashy.

"I don't have gills Dave. I can just swim that's all. I think you should trust me on this one. But when you're ready dude. We don't have to make this commitment yet." Geez, they were still talking and it was getting really late, he should probably go home or something. But as long as Dave gets home safe and stuff.

"I don't think I actually agreed to learning how to swim, but ok. And don't you have to head home soon? It's not late by my standards, but it is getting dark."

And he has to go sit in his kitchen and stare at that ice cream cake and be mopey or something. "It's not like I'm not easily accessible. I do happen to work weekdays at the same place."

"Sure, I should probably head home. You sure you're alright walking alone? I mean I don't doubt you I was just making sure and everything."

John is going to just go sit at home and be mopey, and probably get ready for working things tomorrow. Also going over to Dave's house is a thing. He just can't stand and wait on Dave and he to make awkward passes at one another. Jesus fucking christ!

"Right, well. I'll see you soon."

"Totally chill with going home alone. I'm used to making walks from here," Dave replied.

Dave isn't going to make passes at John! He isn't sure John would appreciate it anyways. "Yeah. Bye, John." Box tucked under his arm, Dave quickly slides through the space between John and the car and starts walking home.

"Bye, Dave."

John gets in his own car and drives home. Thinking about this the whole way home, entirely focused on it. Jesus why did he do that, there probably wasn't a recent movie he saw with that move in it. He is just embarrassing himself!

So he rushes home, and pulls out his laptop. He's going to be looking for Rose's name.

Oh, yes. I was expecting you to try and contact me as soon as possible.
And here you are. I saved you the trouble of seeking me out by just contacting you first as you signed in.
Please do try and question me in a polite manner as I can only answer so many questions at once.

Rose had been patiently waiting for John to get online, messaging him as soon as she saw him get on.
