dave strider and john egbert sat on the balcony outside john's house. they were talking turns looking into john's telescope. "woah, bro.." dave whispered under his breath. "pretty cool huh!" john said in his usual happy tone. "almost as cool as you dude." dave laughed. "hey!!" john joined in on his friends laughing. john lightly punched dave in the shoulder, but it felt more like a light tap than anything. after their laughing session john stood up and so did dave. "let me show you some constellations." john said looking into the deep night sky. "that one is leo, since it's august it's the main zodiac in the sky! and that one is Orion's belt, and that's the big dipper..."
john and dave were inside, they were sitting on john's bed watching a movie. dave wasn't paying much attention to the movie, he was more focused on his friends face instead. john had ocean blue eyes, his skin was dotted with freckles, he had those dumb glasses, some longer strands of his jet black hair were in his face. john was smart and caring, he was fun to be around...he was dave's best friend. and then dave had a thought, a thought about john, a thought where john cupped dave's face in his hands and leaned in and-
dave's heart dropped, he was desperately trying to keep his cool and trying not to think about that..thought. he shouldn't be thinking about his friend like that, especially john. he took a deep breath. the room was hot from the summer night which wasn't helping. and what really wasn't helping was john leaning against dave.
"you okay dave?" john said, looking up at him. "oh, i'm fine joh-" dave was cut off by john putting his hand to dave's face, john left his hand there for a little longer than he should which may have been on purpose. "it's probably from the heat.." john whispered. dave had a thought again, a thought about john again, a thought where john pushed dave flat onto the bed and leaned in and-
"not again damn it!" dave thought to himself.
"hey dave?" john asked from his bed. john was laying on his bed and dave was laying on the floor on a bed made of piled up blankets. the room was pitch black. "what do you need dude?" dave replied, sitting upright. john slipped out of bed and sat next to dave. "can we try something?" john whispered to dave. "like what?" dave said back. dave had a quick thought, about john again, well really he was thinking about john the entire night. the thought he had was john asking him if they could do something, something like ki-
"can we kiss? i'm curious!" john said quietly. dave's face turnt red. "oh..um..sure du-dude" dave stumbled on his words. john smiled at him. "here, face me." john muttered to dave. dave shifted to face john, john put his hands on dave's waist as he leaned in. john closed his eyes and pressed their lips together. he was just trying to copy what he had seen in movies. their lips just sat there, together. dave didn't want to pull away from john..he was warm all over, it felt good. john didn't want to pull away from dave.
they sat there for what had felt like forever, but might have only been a few seconds before pulling apart. their heartbeats were faster than ever. john looked into dave's eyes, and dave looked into john's eyes. "that was nice..." john whispered. "yeah.." dave responded.
