[Ryuji's not really wrong, though. for all that Dave is willing to immediately throw everything down in a fight if it meant protecting someone he cares about, and especially someone he loves, he's also been unconsciously blowing off probably the one thing that would give him the best chance to actually do that.]
[you know. training. catching up with Ryuji on that sweet six-pack he finds so attractive.]
[he's not neglecting his own strength on purpose — it's just some pretty wicked cognitive dissonance at play. a history that makes it tough to reconcile wanting to protect people and actively making sure you're strong enough to.]
[anyway, you would not BELIEVE this poker face that Dave is sporting in reaction to literally everything Ryuji just said. it's — no wait, yeah, there's most definitely a smirk threatening every corner of his facial features. every day that passes, it gets just that much harder to not smile constantly at every single thing, regardless of its degree of idiocy, his boyfriend blurts out.]
[Dave is truly getting soft. he doesn't mind this at all.]
I get you, bro. [hang on, let him try to actually throw out what he wants to say before the hormones immediately drag him somewhere far more lewd.]
[it's, unsurprisingly, kind of a tough endeavor, because he winds up blurting out something slightly lewd anyway.]
Sorry I couldn't stop a nut casualty in time, though.
