[The texts start flying in with a rapidity to it that makes Ryuji even more anxious than he was with just a simple sort of "im here im cool" response to provide that instant relief that he was alright to begin with. This is the Dave of a thousand words whose mind goes too fast because he's jostled up, and just as much as he wants to be there with Ryuji right now, that exact thought is just mirrored on his end. What type of boyfriend was he if he couldn't even be there for him, when he was stuck up in space and he was down here, too stupid to figure out that he could've and should've had the instinct to just call an orb down here and go back up to base and check to make sure all his bases were covered when those first texts weren't answered for hours on end?
He breathes in through his nose, all clogged and gross, messy in the ways that Ryuji is never neat about anything, and slams his eyes shut to stop the stinging from not sleeping for an entire night. He can handle this- he managed 7 of these types of nights before beginning to actually start losing it.]
Lemme just stop you for a second right there because before this goes anywhere else I wanna say something and I need you to trust me on it before you start gettin' shadow Dave more shit to worry about.
You didn't fuck anything up.
Ain't got a single clue of what the hell happened or how, but I'm pretty sure makin' me worried is like, the last thing you gotta fret over, so don't do that, okay? Please? And I don't wanna talk anymore about that thought over text, it ain't that type of convo we should be havin' over words on a screen and it sure as shit ain't right if I can't say this to you and hold you while sayin' it because that's how we do stuff.
Do you want me to come up there? Say the word I'll call down that ugly ass glass ball and get my ass right to you. Tell the director she can go fuck off if that's what I gotta do.
[He has a feeling Dave's going to say no, so he'll continue.]
Shit, you're really not gonna rest until I tell you to get something for me, huh? I guess I wouldn't say no to a can of dr. salt or two.
Anyway
Not gonna lie I'm tired as shit and practically nodding off but if you want me to wait I'll wait no problem
