Each Touch

Happy Birthday John

(I got some wonderful comments on FF.net and they made me grin. I was so happy~ And for that one Guest I'm calling you out, I see you too babe. The pacing is kinda slow isn't it but I got this all planned out. You'll see the tension and jealousy coming soon enough ;P )
(I'm posting this from school so IDK if Hussie has UPD8ed or not but h OMESTUCK IS REALLY OVER- WHAT DO I DO WITH MY LIFE NOW!?)

It was early in the morning and Dave Strider was walking down the street of John Egbert's neighborhood. Today is a special day, not to Dave but to the corresponding. The blond has his camera around his neck as he checked it over again; he wanted to capture the special moments that are going to be made that day.

Three knocks on the door and Mr. Egbert appeared behind it. As usual he wore his white suit and black tie, his pipe was missing from his lips and fedora from his head revealing his groomed black hair. The older man arched a curious brow as seeing he's never seen Dave over so early.

"I'm here to escort Mr. John Egbert to school." he said staring up at him.

"Ah yes, how kind of you David." he said, "Come in while I fetch John."

Dave nodded and entered, closing the door behind him. The recognizable white house filled him with a sense of safety and love, unlike his own home. He's been in this house so many times he might as well move in. Though moving to live with John on their own was a more satisfying idea.

"Dave!" happily said John as he jumped down the stairs.

His hair was still a mess and he was still wearing his sleeping shorts. Red eyes looked over his figure and couldn't help but stare; he's slept over a ton of times but it always amazed him how good John looked right in the morning. John walked over to Dave and waved a hand in front of his face.

"Dave?"

The blond snapped out of his trance and focused on John, he gave a small smile as he gave a nod. The other smiled and brought his hands up to fix his hair the best he could without gel.  Dave stretched and rested against the wall.

"Happy Birthday John." said Dave.

"Thanks Dave, still doesn't explain why you're here so early." John said.

"I'm here to take you out for your birthday, duh."

John blinked a few times, "But we have school."

A sigh escaped from Dave's lips as he laid his head back against the wall, sometimes John was too oblivious and naive. So innocent at times he was afraid to touch him. The teen stood straight up to look at the other.

"We're skipping today." told Dave, "We're going to be out all day having fun and you're not going to convince me that skipping is bad even if it's your birthday. So go change and hurry so your dad doesn't suspect anything."

The dark haired teen opened his mouth to retort but sighed as he knew Dave wasn't going to let it down pre-answering his 'but' statements. He nodded and hurried on upstairs to change into something comfortable as he seems like they're going to be out all day.

"He had his camera with him..." muttered John to himself as he slipped on his shirt, skipping to gel his hair in place.
