Weekend went by fast and, as far as John knew, it was probably one of the most boring weekends he had ever had. Dave wasn't there to keep him company and the park was full of plain boring people. Nothing out of the ordinary happened at all.
Week was as busy as always: John barely was in the apartment while Dave was there the whole day, except when John got home he was leaving to his usual job at 9pm, usual hellos and goodbyes went back and forth, coming from each other's mouths, they didn't have enough time to be together in between the week. Luckily the week was over fast and, to top it all, John finally got a new job in a pharmacy. It wasn't that bad paid and it was easy, rearrange the med pills and bottles, labeling product and some customer service, it was nice.
It was Friday night again and it felt like the world lifted over John's shoulders again, meaning the next day Dave and he would have another day of laziness and movies.
John was, as usual, waiting next to the window, gazing down at the street waiting for his friend's arrival, making sure he was coming home and didn't get kidnapped along the way or some stuff like that. It was a little early that day so Dave wasn't arriving for 2 hours to say the least, so John had time to do something else while Dave was gone but, somehow, all that work that he was not used to for a while got him tired and fell asleep on the chair, leaning against a desk next to the window.
"Hey, hey John, wake up." The next thing he heard after falling asleep was the sound of a familiar voice, it was probably Dave, but that could only mean that he totally overslept on a desktop, way to go John. Dave was nudging John slightly, trying to wake him up. John just groaned in response and wiggled a little, in the end he looked up at Dave and scratched his eyes from under his glasses.
"Oh… hey Dave, what time is it?"
"Like, 2 am or something, what the hell are you doing sleeping here? Were you doing homework or something?" Dave looked over at the desktop and then back at John who was still half asleep.
"What? No, I just… It's nothing I just; I'm just going to sleep at my room, alright? I'll see you tomorrow." John got up the chair and walked up to his room, closing the door behind him and flopping on his bed. He did good, or so he thought, he was lucky he was half asleep or else he would had said something stupid or would had freaked out if Dave found out that he was there waiting for him.
-o-o-o-o-o-
The usual sound and smell of a breakfast invaded the place, eggs and bacon which was John's and Dave's favorite. John was an early bird while Dave always got up late, but not that late. Usually, when John was done doing breakfast, Dave was always ready on the table, with that face that says 'I didn't sleep well at all', but it was probably because sleeping at 2 am and waking up at 10 am wasn't healthy at all. John set up the plates on the tables and sat down in his usual spot in front of Dave, with that toothy grin always in its place.
"Morning, Dave. I got our favorite today, hope you like it."
Dave only muttered something that was something like 'thanks' and began eating and so did John. It was really quiet this morning and it was quite unsettling, awkward even.
"Uhm, so hey, Dave, how was work yesterday… err… today." John giggled a little and Dave stopped chewing and he muttered something inaudible.
"What? Dave, are you alright?"
Dave nodded and rubbed his temples, sighed deeply and looked at John with a serious face, it probably was the most serious face ever because it was even obvious through Dave's shades.
"I'm hung over as shit, is all."
John had to stifle a laugh so Dave didn't have any headaches and just nodded.
"Well okay, I can make you some coffee if you'd like." John had to talk as low as possible, it sounded like a whisper which was really funny, John thought.
Dave nodded and finished off his dish while John stood up to make some coffee, John was glad these kind of days were back when Dave and he could be alone having some fun, if only John was.
-o-o-o-o-o-
John was ready sitting in front of the couch, waiting for Dave: it was almost time for their show and Dave missed the movie day, or at least most of it, he just stood up randomly after looking at his phone and started showering and some other stuff in his room. That was probably one of the weirdest things he had ever done, he could miss anything, hanging out with his friends, going to a party, a picnic with a friend, but he would never miss the movie night.
"Dave! Our show is about to begin! Hurry up now!" John yelled out so Dave could hear but there was no response. John sighed and sat up on the couch, commercials said that the show was about to begin and Dave was still locked inside his room doing who knows what.
"Yeah, about that…" Dave's voice was heard coming from inside his room before he walked out, John turned around to see Dave wearing a fancy tuxedo, with a tie and all. John had to admit that he looked good, way to good for his own good and he couldn't help but drop his jaw a little.
"… I totally forgot to tell you I have a date set up for today, sorry man I can't join you today to watch our show, but I'll make it up for you, some other day, alright?"
John felt like someone was pushing against his chest, he wanted to scream, to tell Dave not to leave him alone.
"But… this is our night; this is supposed to be the night for us both, you know? Dave's and John's Saturday night." John begged Dave, who was already walking towards the front door, Dave turned around and sighed.
"Sorry, not tonight, it's cool dude, we don't even see each other the whole week, you can survive a day without me." And with that, he was gone.
John turned around, facing the TV that was airing their show already, it was probably too boring or John had a lot in his mind, but the show was ignored. John hugged his knees and was left alone in the apartment, the light coming from the TV shining on him.
Sorry for the lack of updates for a while, I had a problem with my computer, anyway, even if I don't get lots of reviews, the little I get is much appreciated, thank you guys :3
