Summary
Sometimes, he's just Dave.
The ordinary, cool, human Dave. And he's okay with that.
But sometimes, he can feel someone else pulsing under his skin, some other side of him that forces its way in and pushes everything else to the side. A person that leaves him feeling breathless and confused and stronger than ever before. Every day is a fight. Because he doesn't know whether to keep it chained or set it free.
