My Guardian

A/N: I am in a super good mood today! I don't know why, it just feels like a good day. But I got this new shirt; I described it in the most recent NNNC chapter for what John was wearing during the marathon. I just feel so adorable when wearing it =^w^= so kawaii desu, and I don't feel that way very often. And don't you guys be mean to wolfchilde because it was a sad chapter! It was her/his idea that kept the story going.

Any who, a guest asked me what a pansexual is, so here is a link to a description for any of you who were wondering and were too lazy to type it into google yourselves (I mean seriously how hard is that?)

Chapter 25

Dave paced back and forth outside of the ER. He wasn't allowed back there because he wasn't family, so John went in alone. He took a seat on a bench next to the doors, folding his hands together and waiting.

~ Approximately half an hour later ~

The doors opened and John walked through, looking relieved. Dave stood up and stepped towards him.

John smiled up at Dave, "He's alright. Nothings broken, its mostly just bumps and bruises, so he'll be out in a few days."

Dave sighed in relief, "That's reassuring. Are you gonna stay the night here?"

"No I'll just go home. Dad insisted I go, he doesn't want me to miss any school for his sake," John said, starting to walk through the halls to the exit with Dave next to him.

They walked in silence until they reached the doors.

"Hey John," Dave called, "What's homecoming like at your school?"

John shrugged, "I don't know, I haven't gone to homecoming at all."

"Why not?" Dave asked, tilting his head a little.

"I never really liked anyone enough to go, and Rose, Jade, and Karkat all had dates and I would have felt awkward being a wall flower, you know?" he replied with a small smile, "I'm not really much for dancing."

"Hmm, I understand," Dave stated as he took a hold of John's hand, the wheels turning in his head.

Dave had a plan.

"I'm going to be a little late for lunch today. Go ahead without me."

John read the message on his phone with a small smile. He loved getting text messages from Dave, even if they were just simple little things. He quickly replied and went off to the lunch room.

He got there early, since he didn't have to wait for Dave, so he got his food quickly enough, and went over to pay and chat with his favorite lunch lady.

"Hey, Miss Dee! How are you today?" he asked with a sweet smile as he approached.

"Johnny boy! I'm doing quiet swell. Where's Dave?" she replied looking around for the blonde kid sporting shades.

John chuckled, "He's going to be a little late today, so it's just me for now."

"I see," she smiled slyly, but John didn't noticed. She knew what it meant, why Dave wasn't here. This kind of story always popped up around when Homecoming drew near.

John nodded, handing her his ID card to pay, and then walking over to his and Dave's usually spot. He pulled out a homework assignment he got earlier that he had decided to work on since it was a simple assignment.

~ About ten minutes later ~

John looked over his homework, content with all his answers. He slid the paper back into his folder, turning to shove it in his back pack.

All of a sudden there were snapping sounds behind him along with whistling from a song he wasn't familiar with. He didn't pay too much attention to it; he just thought that some guy was going to ask a girl out for homecoming in a clever way that would make all the other girls sigh with envy.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw something red being placed next to him. He turned quickly to see a guy placing a rose in front of him, stepping back as another guy stepped forward and placing a rose next to the first. John was slightly confused and incredibly flustered. "Umm, I think you might be confusing me with someone else," John said quietly, but the guys just stayed swaying, snapping, and whistling.

Next he heard violins, and he immediately knew who it was. Rose and Jade stepped out from behind the group of guys with their instruments tucked under their chins and playing along with the whistling.

John was absolutely shocked. He held a hand over his mouth in an attempt to hide his amazement. He turned his head and he could see the whole cafeteria had moved next to and behind his table with phones out recording what was happening.

The sound of the violins became quiet, but didn't disappear, as the sound of a guitar became audible. The group parted as Dave stepped through, his fingers playing the strings of his guitar.

John stared. He was extremely happy now that he finally grasped what was going on. He stood up and stood a few feet in front of Dave, with his hands covering his nose and mouth.

Dave kneeled down onto one knee, pushing his guitar behind him and pulling out a bouquet of blue flowers as the group behind him held up a sign that said "HOMECOMING?" in multiple different colors.

John smiled widely and nodded quickly, taking the flowers and wrapping his arms around Dave's neck. Dave wrapped his arms around John, hugging him tight as cheers rang throughout the crowd.

John pulled back and stood on his tiptoes, kissing Dave in front of the entire fifth hour lunch, earning an even louder cheer.

The supervisors finally broke up the crowd, writing passes for Rose, Jade, and the unknown group of guys for them to go back to class.

John and Dave had a few new people sitting at the table with them, all of them commenting on the spectacle and saying they should run for cutest couple at the dance.

John blushed slightly as he held the flowers close to his chest as he sat in Dave's lap, letting more people sit around them.

"What do you think? Want to run for cutest couple?" Dave asked, resting his head on John's shoulder.

John craned his head to look at Dave, smiling with a nod. Dave smiled back, pecking John's cheek.

"He doesn't talk much does he?" a high pitched girl asked, leaning on her elbows, looking at John.

Dave smirked, "He's just a little shy," he replied, tugging John closer. John squeaked and blushed as the people around the table laughed.

After a while they all left to go back to their tables and John moved back into his seat, setting the flowers down gently onto the table. He picked up one of the roses, breaking the stem so it was short and put it in Dave's hair.

Dave took John's hand and smiled and leaned forward, meeting John's lips with his own.

A/N: This is probably my favorite chapter so far! I tried to think up of ways I've seen people ask someone else out, whether it is from a movie or a video or real life. I hope you guys liked this chapter and I will see you all later!
