I am back. Again. By popular demand. Hehe~ I hope everyone is doing well, and I want to thank you all again for all of the views/reviews/favs, etc. I have over 1.5K views on this story, and that makes me really happy! I'm glad you're all enjoying it xDD

Anyways to StarWolf33: I am planning on bumping it up. It's just last chapter wasn't all that graphic, so I didn't see the need. But however, like I said, it will be bumped up to rated M on chapter...it's a surprise. ;)

Lysol (Guest): Heh, you're so good at guessing what's gonna happen! As previously mentioned, this is definitely getting bumped up to M in a little bit. I'm still writing the chapters towards the end, and I have so many ideas for what John can do, but I'm still not sure exactly what I'm going to do. It's a surprise for all of us! xD (*whispers* What do you mean 'If Dave found out about John"? What about John? .)

Okay well back to story time 'cuz this shit is great. At least I think so xD Enjoy~

When morning came around, you couldn't initiate eye contact with John. Not after what happened last night. As soon as you woke up, as soon as you had realized what you were doing, you stopped. You pulled away. Even if John was reciprocating your movements, chances were he had been asleep as well. After all, when you had peeked your eyes open, his had been closed.

You were so utterly embarrassed, even if you couldn't help what you had been doing.

"Dave?" John's sleepy voice pulled you out of your thoughts. You jumped, how uncool.

"Yeah?" you ask hesitantly.

"Umm...when did you wake up?" John asked.

You deadpanned. You knew exactly what he had been implying, he had been awake last night after all.

Whelp, leave it to John to be subtle about things. Oh well.

"I'm really sorry, John," you told him, your face heating.

"How long were you awake...?" John's next question was barely audible.

Silence filled the air for a few moments until you finally answered.

"As soon as I woke and realized what I was doing, I stopped. I'm really sorry," you repeated.

"It's okay Dave. I mean...it's not like I r-really minded th-that much...," John replied, stuttering quite a bit, obviously in embarassment.

"Oh," you replied, sort of surprised. "Really?"

"Umm...y-yeah," John said. Your back was still to John, so your turned around to face him. You weren't surprised to find that his back was to you as well, and you surprised John by wrapping your arms around him. You felt him jump in your arms, and he turned a bit to face you.

He visibly flinched when he caught sight of your face though, and you didn't realized why until you noticed that you weren't wearing your shades. Well shit.

"Woah...," John says, cupping your face in his hands. "They're so...," he trailed off, at a loss for words.

"Weird, I know," you finished for him, looking away.

"No Dave. They're beautiful," John said, catching your crimson red eyes with his sky blue ones. His eyes were much more beautiful than yours, in your opinion.

"Is this why you wear the shades?"

"Partly," you answer.

"I don't think you should feel self conscious of them, Dave. I think they're absolutely wonderful."

How cliche. You blush anyways.

"Thank you, John," you say. John gives you a dorky smile and kisses your nose.

"I really like you, Dave," he tells you, still smiling.

Again, cliche, but you feel your heart soar. "I like you too, John," you reply, burying your face in his shoulder to hide the embarassing shade of red that it was. Your heart was beating faster than you'd like to admit, especially when John put his arm around you.

"Dave, I think we should hang out more," John tells you, and you nod in agreement. "Yeah, I think so too." Silence followed your agreement.

"Okay," John said at last, getting up to get ready for the day, kicking you out of the room to get ready in the bathroom.

Later on, after you and Dave got ready and had breakfast, the two of you set out food for the party and wait for people to arrive. Rose and Kanaya are the first to arrive, and Rose gives you and Dave a knowing look, somehow impossibly and immediately sensing that things between the two of you had changed slightly. You blushed under the look, but Dave didn't even flinch, You wonder sometimes how he dealt with Rose. The relationship between those two sure was strange. If you didn't know any better, you'd think they were siblings or something. They did look impossibly alike, after all, and did a lot of the same things. Oh well, save that mystery for a rainy day.

You and Dave sit around and chat with Rose and Kanaya before the doorbell rings once again. Dave gets up to answer it, and he come back with a rather large group of people. Karkat comes in with Sollux, who for some reason brought Eridan, who brought Feferi. Vriska calls to cancel, which means Terezi isn't coming either. Dave tries not to look relieved, but you know he is. Jade is the last to arrive, and everyone is conversing and having fun. The party is going well, people are enjoying the food, music, and company, and you stand off to the side, observing the scene until Jade comes up to you.

"Hey John!" she greets you cheerfully.

"Hello, Jade," you reply, a grin on your face. "Enjoying yourself?" you ask.

"Of course! Aren't you?" You nod.

"I think you should open your presents now, John!" Jade tells you. You agree, and Jade runs off, rounding everyone up.

"Hey everyone! John's gonna open presents now, and then we'll have cake!

People chatter rather excitedly, admiring each gift as you open them. You got a CD that Dave mixed for you himself, a book from Karkat (some romance novel), some prankster stuff from Jade, and mostly money and gift cards from everyone else. You thanked everyone whole-heartedly, and headed off to the kitchen to cut the cake while Dave switched out the music that was playing from his iPod to your new CD.

After cutting the cake and handing pieces out to people, you joined in the conversation Dave was having with Karkat. You were so happy that they were getting along for once. Well, sort of.

"My clothing looks perfectly fine, asshole!" Karkat was shouting irritably at Dave.

"No man," Dave responded. "You don't fucking tuck a turtleneck sweater into sweatpants and look cool. You just don't. "

Karkat flushed, and that's when you walked up, chuckling at the two.

"Dave, leave him alone," you say. "Let him wear what he wants. If he wants to look ridiculous, let him," you add, a look of a pranking master dwelling on your face.

"S-shut up, Egbert!" Karkat tells you. You pat his head, smiling.

"Oh shoosh. It's all in good fun and you know it!"

"Yeah, yeah," Karkat said, his scowl softening. He then looked at you and Dave seriously.

"Does it really look that bad?"

You and Dave smile sadly at each other before replying to Karkat at the same time.

"Yeah..."

Karkat is quick to untuck his turtleneck from his sweatpants after that, but runs off to get Sollux's opinion on the matter anyways.

You stand there silently with Dave and eat your cake mindlessly, not taking note of much until Dave clears his throat, saying,

"Damn Egbert, you could eat your cake a little less seductively, you know."

You feel blood rush to your face, and realize that you had been doing an awfully good job at slowly licking your fork clean after each bite of cake you took. You begin to mumble an apology before your prankster's gambit kicks in, and you send a sly look towards Dave. You can tell he's looking at you, and when you are positive you have received Dave's full attention, you begin to put your plan into action.

You lick your lip as you slide your forefinger through the icing on your cake, and ever so seductively lick the icing off, maintaining eye contact with Dave all the while. Well, maintaining eye contact to the best of your abilities with a coolkid who wears shades to block the view of his eyes all the time.

Dave squirms a bit, but he's not quite ready to lose his cool just yet. You do this just a few more times, being careful that no one else in the room sees you. After about the fifth time you had done this, Dave rushed into action, grabbing your hand and flashstepping out of the room and into the hallway.

"God damn you to hell, Egbert," he growls at you. You freeze. Hell is definitely a sensitive topic with you, seeing as you were an angel. With all of Dave's vulgar deeds and language, you sure hoped he wouldn't be going to hell when his time came.

"What's wrong, Dave?" you ask him all too innocently.

"You know damn well what's wrong. It's not a good idea to tempt the sexually frustrated," he tells you, pressing his body up against yours and then pressing his lips to yours in a rough, forceful kiss.

"Ah...Dave!" you whine against his lips. What if someone catches you?! You quickly push Dave away. If your supervisor caught you at the wrong moment, Dave would be going to hell for sure, and you could be punished! Going forward with homosexual actions was a sin, after all, wasn't it? You couldn't put Dave in that kind of danger, no matter how much you cared about him. You were here to protect him, nothing more, nothing less.

"What the fuck, John?" Dave asks you, irritated when you push him away.

"Dave I have guests over!" you say, and leave him behind to go wrap up your party. You'll just have to deal with Dave later.
