[you know that little tuft of bangs that's been curling just like his mom's, since he hasn't been able to cut his hair? it just sort of floofs stubbornly right back into place underneath those completely asshole-ish headpats Ryuji just did. Dave can't believe he's done this!]
[and he seems genuinely surprised at first, because Ryuji's actually patted him like he's a goddamn cat, a joking gesture of affection (????) that wasn't a friendly sock on the shoulder or an insult that isn't actually insulting at all.]
[okay, so. time to short circuit, then. he should be mad. he should be pissed, right? like, he should be fucking flying off the handle right now. and he's annoyed, sure, but not actually angry, which is weirdly just as surprising as the fact that he's been headpatted in the first place.]
[his eyes narrow behind the shades. he's feigning anger, for some reason, but even the actual annoyance he does express seems kinda half-hearted.]
You do realize the only reason I'm not kickin' your ass right now is Lisa.
