Chapter Text
It's silent between the four of you. Your used to silence though afterall you live by yourself in that big house. Well your not alone you have Bec but that's not really a person's voice.
This is a different kind of silence though. This silence is one out of not knowing what to say. You don't blame John though for everything that he said to all of you the day earlier on pesterchum. You know he's confused about his feelings he told you about all of it when he was 13. Well best to break the silence before it becomes unbreakable.
"Hey, John," You smile wide and hug him then whisper softly in his ear,"We'll talk later about this."
Dave offers him a fistbump which John returns. "Sup, Egbert."
"Nothing much." John says really uneasy with a slghtly faltering smile.
"We should probably head to the car we have a long car ride ahead," Rose says. So you all leave the airport and get into her car. You and John are in the backseat and you risk messaging him.

GG: John you need to tell Dave and that's all I'm gonna say.

GG: Also John one more thing, that wasn't Dave that was messaging you about love and makeout sessions that was his brother. I asked him about it and that's what he was aplogizeing for. He wasn't trying to mess with your head.
GG: And no I didn't tell him about your feelings for him. That's all

Maybe he'll understand and just fess up now to his feelings. He looks like he's considering it. Then he's typing a message on his phone. You'll probablly get it soon.
Or Dave will? John just sent a message then Dave got one. He unblocked him at they're talking at least.
John doesn't speak until he puts away his phone and all he says though,"I'm sorry."
The rest of the car ride is silent.
--------------------------------------------------
You wake up when the car stops. You don't even remember fallling asleep.
After unpacking you and Rose watch as Dave and John play video games way more competitively than they should. Good one friendship repaired. The more important one to fix.
Rose understands that John only lashed out at all of you because he was probably just having a bad day and because she tried to pry about what was wrong. Dave was really the only one that got hurt by what John said, you don't know why but clearly Rose does and has sympathy for him. You wonder if it's Dave has feelings for John for real but his brother typed all that stuff because he knows how Dave feels and was just trying to see if John felt the same way about him because Dave wouldn't.
You'll ask Rose about it later. Because if that's all true then they can be together and it will stop tearing John apart at the seams like it's been doing. Or if Dave doesn't feel the same way John can know and it will help him get over it.
And you have the perfect idea on just how to find out if Rose won't tell you. Hehehehehehe
