[[Dave knows he is a wholeass man who is grown as far as age is concerned, but by damn if he isn't laying his head against Grimm's shoulders and just shut his eyes.]]
Don't tell anyone I pussied out like a fuckin' toddler, please. I've never been so fuckin' mad for no good reason.
[[He needs that. He definitely does. He's even thought of calling his brother from another mother but also from the same adopted father about it. They just met though so this might be a bit heavy. Heavy like his weight on Grimm's shoulder.]]
Yeah... Everything I've ever said or done is. You're the safest I've felt.
[[Dave is biting his bottom lip, quietly trying to obviously work something out.]]
It's no big deal when a guy likes another guy, right? Like what's the big deal if you're in love with a guy? Big deal? Nah. But okay so hypothetically if someone thought they were in love with someone here, how would you tell this hypothetical person how to deal with it? You can pretend its me if it makes it easier.
[Normally, Grimm might tease Dave about this 'hypothetical', but Dave's fragile enough right now that he won't.]
I would encourage them to confess their feelings to their object of affection. Regardless of gender, species, age... Love is a wonderful thing that should be embraced, even if you cannot be with your loved one forever.
[[Normally, Dave would tease himself about that. But for now, Grimm is expertly calming him. Blood or not, he's actually calm despite of it and that's not even something Bro could do.]]
I did tell h--
[[Oh.]]
I mean hypothetically if I had. At least I did the right thing.
[[Dave definitely knows they're alright, if they were that bad Grimm wouldn't be sitting around and neither would he. He's just trying to not feel... so damn like this.]]
I like that you're saying you'd never hurt me, without saying you'd never hurt me.
[[This wasn't 'hurt' for him.]]
Still gonna go though. Can't keep you from the circus and I'm making excuses because I finally feel better. I mean "better" [[Take his air quotes.]] but not better. Thanks to you.

Gotta fix up these cuts.

[He trusts Dave's judgment over whether he's recovered enough to head off, but he still worries a little.]
