I don't know what to do with Dave sometimes. I absolutely love the dumbass but sometimes I wish I didn't. Then I wouldn't care that he's basically destroying himself.
He's so determined to do all this and I just wish he wouldn't. He doesn't need to push himself to do so much with work and school on top of training, patrols, and other JF stuff. He always seems like everything is under control and he's handling everything fine. But sometimes, like tonight, the act crumbles.
We came back from a patrol, it wasn't even eventful. Maybe more "friendly neighborhood superhero" moments than usual, but nothing that should have pushed him, let alone exhaust him, but we got back and he passed out before he could get his boots off.
I sat next to him running my hand through his hair for… I don't even know how long. I wasn't tired, the day was easy on me, just kind of admiring him. I ended up curling up around him and falling asleep. Being with him makes me happy. Is it bad that just laying there playing with his hair was enough to make me calm enough to just fall asleep?
I wish we could have woken up and then just lay there talking. Maybe do other stuff.
But of course we couldn't. I have to go to school. Dave has school. Then work. Then training. At least we'll have some time to hang out then. And maybe patrol after. If not, Dave will probably head back to his apartment with Riley to do homework. Or Riley.
I don't WANT more crime in the city, but I do wish there was more for us to do. I'd take a shift at a soup kitchen or a clothing drive at a homeless shelter. Anything were we get to spend more time together.
I miss seeing him at school.
Marcus and I have been spending more time together lately. I mean, I can only get away with hanging out with Dave while he's at work a few times a week after all. And it's not like I don't like spending time with Marcus. I'd just rather be with Dave.
Mako's Message: I'm torn because i have a lot of ideas that are basically varius forms of this. More slice of life stuff. Which i LOVE. I just hesitate to post it because I know you all are wanting PLOT. Well... maybe if I just let my muse go I'll write more and just get things moving smoothly again. ...
