[And Dave just stands there. Because he doesn't honestly know what to do at the moment.

And god, he really hope John doesn't start crying. Because it would be his fault and he's already made Jade cry a few times and he really can't deal with all his closest friends crying. Maybe John will be like him. React very aggressively and punch things. God, maybe he'd feel better if John wailed on him like no other. Even if he's kind of sore still and getting wailed on by your best friend isn't exactly something he'd consider a good time. Because, honestly, it isn't. But John being angry about Dave being an ass seems better then John crying because his dad is dead.

But he just continues to stand there. Expression unchanging and just...honestly being useless. He's waiting. Waiting to see what John says or does next. Seeing if maybe he has to play the badguy for a little while.]
