I'll try harder next time? [But there's a linger as soon a dark red tie drops out of his sylladex. Give him a moment before he takes it and leans forward to begin tying it on Dave loosely so he doesn't startle him.]

I'm kidnapping you, by the way. Consider this a hold-up.

[He doesn't mind, but he knocks his knees into Dave's sides gently as he does the tie thing.]

Yup. Any opposition to that? Reservation's in half an hour.

We can talk about that later. [But since Dave's leaning in John moves forward for a kiss anyway? So.]

[He doesn't let Dave get too far though before he grins.]

...six months, dude.

[And John follows so he can open Dave's door before heading to the driver's side.]

That kind of stuff is important to me.

[That would be too easy. In the car, he starts the engine and looks at Dave.]

Soooo what?

...yes? And some other stuff. Is that weird?

Surprises. [A grin.] I definitely remembered because six months from December is six months on the calendar.

Have we had more than--[...

...wait.

Hold it. Give him a minute.]

...you've been tracking month by month haven't you.

[A grin.]

No? Not at all?

Well now I'm curious what "stuff" is because I remember when our first kiss was. [He'll also start driving because reservations exist.]

[He just sort of snickers instead.] Oh come on. I'd tell you if this were the reverse!
