"Another way to keep busy," Dirk confirms. "I'll go." Just like that. It definitely means that he's going to be hard on Dave while they're working, but there's no way Dave doesn't anticipate that.
Could be cool.
It isn't right, what Dirk did. He could have done it another way. He's still bad, and abusive, and manipulative, even without Cal's influence. But yeah. Dave's alive, and that's worth... Something. "Heats up in the sun, huh?" He's absolutely not phased at all by balls talk.
"Freezing." It's better than admitting any real god-damn shit, and he sort of... Settles in easier when Dave's resting against him again, arm settling around him. He doesn't give him a squeeze or anything, but the weight of his touch is there. He watches Dave take off his glasses. Thinks about it. A minute later, he reaches up to slip off his own and set them on his leg. Just slow and easy. Like it ain't nothin' when it's a whole fuck of a lot.
"What's that?" There's a joke on the tip of his tongue that he's never felt the human emotion of happiness, but even he knows better than to say it. "Lay it on me."
