Homestuck Dave×John Movie Night!

Dave×John Chapter 5: Where The Hell is the Remote!?

  You both now walk into the living room. And while the popcorn is doing what it does best-pop, John walks over to the television and takes out Con Air from his collection Nic Cage movies and pops the disk into the DVD player. You take a sip of the sweet, cold, golden, piss-colored, beverage as John tosses a big harlequin doll off of the couch, plops down, and pats on the cushion next to him, waiting for you to sit down.

You take his offer and sit down next to him, cautious about the carefully balanced object on the arm rest when you notice that John is looking around for something.

   "What are you looking for, John?" another sip.

   "I can't find the T.V. remote..." he responds as he assumes a new position on his knees for a better angle of looking for the remote to look behind the couch.

   "Here I'll help you." you look around the room, scanning through your shades. You felt like you saw it just a minute ago, but you can't remember where, you know you saw it nearby though. You take a swig of your drink and set it down on the ground next to the couch before searching for the remote.

  You lay down on your back, careful not to bother John by accidentally kicking him with your legs. You flip onto your stomach and peer under the couch upside down, your new position acting as a counterweight. Nothing. You flip onto your back again and sit up. You are about to pull your legs back to your original sitting position when you see John, still on his knees, looking at you, his cerulean eyes looking distant.

  You have no idea what was happening and as you're about to ask him what he was thinking or why he was staring, John puts both his hands down on the cushions on both sides of you and starts crawling toward you. You look at him, wide-eyed through your shades, you put your hands down to your sides trying to keep your balance, John inching closer and closer. He is so close now that you start to lean on your back again, using your elbows to prop yourself up. Does... does John actually have feelings for you!? You can't believe this is happening! This isn't like John at all, it's so sudden! And he seems so forceful too-! But... you do admit that you kind of like it.

   "J-John... what are you doing--?" you finally ask, losing your cool kid composure for a split second, causing the stutter but quickly putting the facade back on, steadying your voice again.

   "..... I almost.... got it...." John replies.

   "Wait-what???" you have no idea what John just said until he outstretches a hand behind you and retrieves the newly found remote. Carefully balanced on the arm rest behind you.

  You mentally face palm, so hard infact, you think you just gave yourself a headache. You sit up quickly when John finally resumes his original position and turns on the television from the comfort of the couch. A few movie previews, which have become old, playing on the screen.

   "John..." your voice low and faintly irritable from the false gesture and getting your hopes up.

   "Yeah Dave?"John turns to you.

   "Why didn't you just ASK me for the remote if it was behind me...?" your voice still low.

   "Because Dave, if I asked 'hey Dave, can you pass the remote behind you?' you would have gotten it and make me chase you around for it just like my glasses." John answers. And it was he was most likely right, you probably would have taken off with it.

   "Yeah, you're probably right." you couldn't deny it. You retrieve your apple juice and take another sip while the beverage is still cold. You are now savoring the apple juice's taste more as you notice the bottle being almost drained of its contents.

"Beep beep beep!"

   "Popcorn's ready!" John exclaims, walking off to the kitchen. He seems like such a child, excited over everything. Even John's child-like side was emphasizing his cuteness. And you loved it. You liked everything about him, basically.
