TT: What's wrong with Dave?
EB: he's just jealous because i chose to play pokemon instead of talking to him
TT: That's strange. He keeps talking to me and saying "I have a plan," or "You can't tell John." This seems odd to me, since he isn't telling me any details.
EB: hmm
EB: weird
TT: Well, we probably will learn his plan soon.
EB: do you know what's up with dave?
GG: no
GG: rose already asked me

Dave Strider was pacing, trying to get himself ready. Someone walking by might hear snippets such as "he's gonna hate me" or "this is stupid" or even "I knew I shouldn't have eaten those nachos. Eaten? Ate?"
"Hey, Dave. You wanted to talk to me?" A swarm of butterflies tried its best to escape Dave's stomach. John Egbert, the sun and the moon to Dave, light and soul shining through his eyes, was talking to him! Even though they were friends, it still made Dave's stomach twist when they talked.
"Yeah. Come on." Dave led John to his room.
The pair sat on Dave's bed. John looked at his friend expectantly. Dave realized that he probably should say something. "So, you know how prom is coming up?" John nodded, suspecting where this was going, but not believing it. "Well, I was wondering if, um, you wanted to go with me. Like, uh, like a date."
"Let me get this straight. Dave Strider wants to go to prom with me?! John Egbert?" Dave nodded quickly.
"I understand if you don't want to, or if you want to think about it, or-" Dave was cut off by a sudden kiss. He melted into it, loving every second, loving John's lips against his. Far too early, John pulled away.
"Does that answer your question?" Dave grinned, kissing John again.
