[It's relatively weird, when going through it, he never really thought it was a lot. Everything that happened over the span of 8 months went by so quickly, and each palace brought stakes that were increasingly worse; enough to make that fight or flight response take place, cementing that they had to get their asses in gear. 7 days until expulsion. 3 days until the world finds out who they are. 2 days before he calls the cops. 1 day before justice finally caught up with them. Dave says that he's been through a lot, and it's almost like the first time he's hearing it. None of the thieves had probably heard that either.
Ryuji raises an eyebrow at the gesture at first before it clicks, and he finds himself leaning up against Dave. Takes him a moment to get settled in, and maybe it's awkward at first? Ryuji's pretty awkward to begin with, but it's leagues better than just moving a pillow around from point A to point B mindlessly. He looks up from his vantage point and sees the outline of a chin, a nose, hair- it's new, but it feels good, something he might've wanted for a while without actually knowing he did to begin with.
And it's not like his weird mood is suddenly made a million times better or assuaged in a way that dulls it to the point of nonexistence, but it's comforting enough to think that it's cool if he is going through it, like there's something there for him to get wrapped up in for a bit and deal. He figures he'll be okay, and yeah, still fighting.]
Yeah, you know what I really didn't deserve? Like, at all? There's a shadow out there that's a literal giant dick, strummin' along on a chariot with reins attached to other little dicks that pull it along. I could take giant man babies, but that's. That's the line, right effin' there.
[He allows himself to put a little more weight up against Dave. He can handle it, right?]
But, uh... yeah. I get it... It's something I like about you, too. Dude, honestly... I really never thought that there'd be someone out there that could accept all this shit and still wanna... I dunno. Still be cool about it. [Not exactly, cool- he tries again.] That'd still wanna be with me. I guess we've both been through an actual shit-ton of crap, so maybe that's like, a cosmic tick in our favor. I know it's only been a few months since we met 'n all, but really... I dunno what I'd do without you.
