Summary: Bobby Dawson is slowly coming to the conclusion that he and David Hodges just might not be healthy for each other. The only thing is that neither of them really seem to mind.

David probably thinks they're friends and Bobby guesses that to a certain extent they are. There is no one in the world that Bobby would ever dare to share his secrets with and he has a pretty good feeling that David feels the same way.

He thinks so even when David is red faced and yelling, throwing back all the secret things Bobby ever said to him in the quiet of a pitch black bedroom when they were both tired--feeling heavy and light as air all at the same time. All while David seemed to try his very best to burrow his way inside of Bobby's chest.

Even then when David is being especially nasty he can't find it in himself to resort to the same cruelty. To even utter quietly even one of the things he knows. Because David always comes to him, clutching at him, eyes pained and skin pale. His fingers threading through Bobby's hair and his lips on Bobby's mouth when they aren't frantically muttering apologizes. Bobby just softens and clutches back, offering forgiveness and a willing body as David coaxes him back to where the whole mess began in the first place.

Bobby figures he can ignore the ache in his chest for a little while, just as long as it takes for David to fill it with something else all over again.

Because David Hodges never begs anyone for anything and that has to mean something right?
