[there aren't really a lot of comforts out here. not really. but sometimes, Dave has to pause and sort of be completely surprised with how easy he seems to find some around Ryuji anyway. it's the comfort of knowing that while the rest of the station is in a horrifying murder mode, while his own nightmares and secrets are being flung around haphazardly in an alternate universe version of the station, he has somewhere warm and safe to retreat to. someone who watched him upend a briefcase of major issues all over the floor in one single motion, and despite that, still refused to give up on him.]

[and, if it didn't come with the risk of accidentally dozing off and cutting a date in Houston short, he'd roll over on his side and wrap an arm around Ryuji, really bask in how natural lazing around as a mess of limbs has gotten for him. maybe he'll do that once more time has passed, and they've talked a bit longer.]
[maybe once Ryuji's done asking his question here. Dave turns his head slightly to look at him, answering him by breathing out a small, questioning sort of noise. sup?]
