Don't know, don't care. [ dave drops his hands though, carefully giving john a little breathing room. but. ] Hey. I like you.

[ there's a little laugh. ]

You don't have to like... [ say anything. ] Just. I do. It took me a while to notice because I've always liked you so damn much it took liking other people as much as I liked you back when we first met to go oh hey that whole liking John thing got bit by a radioactive spider at some point and now it's leading a double life saving little old ladies from muggers in the night. And it's chill, you know? Like. I'm just kind of happy I can say it. So don't...stress. I'm the time guy.

[ john can have eternity if he wants, dave means. so anyway - ]
