John's POV
*I have to go home today.* I told Dave while we were laying upside- down on his bed. He sat up and asked, *Why? It's not a school night. We're on winter break.*
*Yeah, but I have a dentist appointment at 4. Getting my braces tightened.*
*Ouch. That's not fun.* Dave said, grimacing.
*Yeah, I'm really not looking forward to it.*
*Well, might as well enjoy eating while you can, right? Y'know, other than oatmeal, soup, and jello.*
*I can barely even eat those. And after Christmas, I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed.* I groaned.
*Oh dear lord. I am so sorry for you.* Dave put his hand on his chest and made a face.
I laughed and pushed him so he fell back onto the bed. We just messed around, not really doing much, until I had to go home.
*Bye Dave.* I hugged him and he kissed my cheek.
*So long, sweet prince.* He said, before cracking a smile. *I can't say that with a straight face.*
*You can't do anything straight, Dave. Remember?*
*Oh, shut up Egdork.*
*You're just mad because it's true. Anyway, bye. I'll pester when I can.*
*Seeya.* He closed the door and I began on my way home.

Dave's POV
I went to my computer when I heard a ding.
ectoBiologist [EB] began pestering turntechGodhead [TG] at 19:33
EB: I have upheld my end of the bargain
TG: there was no bargain, but if that's how you feel, then that's what we'll go with
TG: how's your face feeling?
EB: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
TG: that bad huh?
EB: I want to mash my face into my pillow as far as I can, but I also want to talk to you, and since I can't hear notifications on my computer, I have to look at it so I know when you have replied and I don't accidentally reply at three am or something
TG: you don't have to talk to me
TG: I don't know why you put up with my bullshit
TG: I'm probably one of the most full-o-bullshit people ever
EB: you are full of bullshit, this is true, but you are also hella rad, and I feel strongly about you.
EB: and don't even try to argue, because I am so ridiculously not in the mood to argue with you
TG: alright. Well.
TG: .. / .-.. —- ...- . / -.— —- -..
I typed it, kinda hoping he wouldn't know what it meant, kinda hoping he would
EB: I love you too. Goodnight.
