John woke up shortly after ten; he wasn't as cold as when he went to bed. He got up, put on his slippers, he saw a note taped to his door.
"Dear John, I am at work. I may stop by around noon to see if you burnt down the house. I'm joking, I know you learned to cook since your last time over here. Anyway, if you want to go anywhere I think Rose isn't busy, so she could give you a ride with Dave ;). Have fun!" he read aloud to himself. He laughed at the thought of him almost burning the house down last time "I didn't know French toast was so hard to cook."
He grabbed a clean pair of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Half way through he heard his phone ring Not now, I am busy! he angrily thought to himself. He finished his shower, dried off, and got dressed in the bathroom, while it was still warm. He returned to his room for his glasses, and his phone. "Maybe I should've answered." he said seeing he had a missed call from Dave. "Wait! How did he get my number?"
He quickly redialed the number, hearing the number ringing. "Hello this is Dave."
"Hey Dave it-"
"Hah, I am just kidding this is Dave's voicemail. He is more or less dodging your call, or is trying to look busy. Leave your number and shit, and he will get back to you, maybe." The recording said, and then there was a beep.
"Wow Dave, that was actually really dumb. Funny, but still dumb." John said, searching for his wallet.
"Thanks, I try." Dave said. This caused John to drop his phone and freaked out. "Really John? Are you that scared of me?" Dave said with a laugh.
"No," John said picking up his phone, "you just caught me off guard. Why did you call so early?" John said trying to play off his fear.
"Was gonna ask if you wanted to hang, but seeing as you are kinda scared." Dave said laughing to himself.
"Sure, where do you want to hang out?"
"Somewhere, where we can play out music that has some people coming and going."
"OH! Maybe Jade could let us play in her bakery." John said really happy.
"Sure, need a ride there? I can probably trick Rose it to taking me."
"Uh… sure" he didn't know why he was blushing. Don't make a fool of yourself Egbert. This is not a date! he thought. He was unaware that Dave hung up. He looked at the time, it was almost eleven. He saw a message pop up on his phone.

gallowsCalibrator ceased trolling ectoBiologist

EB: never mind i guess
John just stared dumbfounded at his phone. At least he only said fuck once. Still strange he remembers my number. John went ahead and collected the music books he wanted to him and Dave to play from. He grabbed the keyboard he left in the closet years ago, the case and stand. He packed everything, grabbed his green jacket, and waited outside. He saw Rose's car pull up, and Dave get out opening the trunk. "Come on Egbert, hurry your ass up it is freezing out here." he shouted.
John smiled; making sure the door was locked. Then made his way carrying the case over to the trunk. "I forgot how cold it can be out here." Dave mumbled under his breath.
"It could be worse, could be December." John said with a laugh. Dave helped John lift the instrument into the trunk. They got in the backseat, Rose started driving off. "So where are we heading?" someone up front said.
"None of your business Terezi." Dave said calmly.
"Aw, little Dave still mad about last. Did I embarrass you in front of your boyfriend?" she said giggling. Dave didn't answer; he just looked out the window. John sent a message to Jade letting her know he was on the way. When they got there John and Dave unpacked their instruments, setting them inside. Rose wished them luck, and drove off to take Terezi back to her hotel. Here is our first time playing together for everybody. They both thought to themselves.
A/N: I was a bit stuck on how to get things rolling with the relationship between Dave and John. This seemed as good a spot as any.
