~Dave~

Dave turned on his side so he was facing John. Without a word, Dave gently placed his free hand on John's face. He felt so stupid. 

God.  You are such an idiot. 

John tensed up. What was Dave supposed to do?  Kiss him? No. God no.  Dave wasn't good at the romance business, and he knew he was just going to continue to embarrass himself.  Dave pulled John's head towards his own. He stopped thinking the second John's forehead touched his.  His pulse slowed, and John's eyes widened. 

Those beautiful eyes.

Dave could write a song about how pretty they were. He could make a mixtape about the dreamy blueness that resided in his gleaming round eyes.

Dave could feel John's breath on his face, and he smiled. John started to relax, and he flashed a little smile. Dave had never felt so... happy before. It was like John's smile wiped away all the pain of his past.  

So warm.

Dave laced his fingers through John's hand.  He felt intertwined with this stranger.  Who didn't feel like a stranger to Dave anymore.  When Dave held John's hand, he couldn't help but think about how much he'd yearn for it when it was gone.  How much he wanted to look into those eyes and the feel of his soft skin.  His breath against his.

Where Dave was right now.  John's hand in his.  The warmth of each other. The music seemed far in the distance now.  He wanted it to stay this way forever. 

He reveled at the thought that, it couldn't. 

John yawned a little, and wiggled his way out of Dave's grasp.

"Dave, I-I hafta go home." He said groggily as he sat up on the bed. Dave reached for John's arm.

"Ten more minutes.  Come on." 

"Well.." John looked at the ground but eventually gave in to Dave's plead. John laid back, and cuddled up to Dave.

John's eye lids felt heavy and he dozed off with his head on Dave's shoulder.

Dave couldn't help but feel like this was...

Love .
