Later that night, John and Dave keep watch, just in case Vriska or any of the other zombies showed their rotting faces. The Heir of Breath takes a deep breath in and lets it out.
"i'm glad kanaya could heal my arm," he pauses, "what is her title again?"
"sylph of space"
"she's a space player?! oh my god, she is awesome!"
"that she is john that she is"
Both of them stay quiet for a little while. The Knight of Time pulls his red hood down, then glances at his broken shades.
"too bad they broke." John says, glancing down at them himself.
"yeah but I still wear them once in a while"
"why? you look so much cooler without them."
Dave turns his face to look into John's blue eyes.
"you really think so"
"hell yeah, your red eyes are so cool," he pauses, "and they are really pretty. you are going to attract some very pretty girls with those eyes."
"oh" Dave says, regectedly, "thank you for saying that"
"you're welcome!"
Dave turns his head away from John. Feeling this deep burning feeling to kiss him dead on the lips, but he was too nervous to even make a move. He knew that the heir wasn't a homosexual . . . And yet Dave had the feeling that John is lying to everyone and himself.
"well, it looks like the night will be safe." John pauses, "but we can never be too sure."
"yeah we can never be too sure about anything anymore"
"what is that supposed to mean, dave?"
"take a look at karkat and terezi john they are sleeping with their hands joined together"
"and there's a problem with that?"
"kanaya and rose are now married to each other and sollux and aradia are together with their hands joined together"
"yeah?"
"do you think that this whole outbreak has been the time for everyone to confess their love for each other"
"i don't see a problem with it, seeming as we have two couples in love with each other, and our wonderful lesbian couple finally married; i'm sure that this is the perfect moment to confess." John pauses, "this sounds like one of my sappy rom-com movies!"
Dave couldn't help but laugh a little.
"you are so cute when you start talking about your rom coms"
John blushes a little.
"u-uh t-thank you."
"john"
"y-yeah?"
"i want to say something"
"go ahead."
"i know you aren't a homo but im in love with you"
John's face flushes a deep shade of red.
"crap i fucked up "
"d-dave, i'm in love with you too."
"w-wha . . ."
"i-i think i've been lying to myself to the others." John pauses, "i don't know why i'd ever consider myself straight."
"i have been waiting a long time to hear you say that egderp"
John scoots a little closer to Dave.
"dave."
Dave turns his head and looks at him.
"john there is something else"
"shut up and kiss me."
Dave blushes red, leans in, meeting John's lips with his own, placing his hand on the heir's lap. John kisses the knight's lips back. A moan can be heard from the Knight of Time. The Heir of Breath pulls away, looking into his love's red eyes.
"i think we should continue with our watch."
John takes a hold of Dave's hand.
"one more kiss"
Dave put his arms around John and pulls him closer to him, their lips meet once again. The heir kisses the warm gentle lips back with comfort and perhaps a little bit of passion. Small moans come from John this time, as Dave pulls away. John smiles, as the red tint to his skin starts to fade away.
"i love you, my knight of time."
"i love you too my heir of breath"
The humans continue with their watch, John holds the knight's left hand in his right.
