officialalphadave asked: May I request a continuation of Dave and John's first IRL meeting in the JohnDave highschool romcom au? (Also, I'm a huge fan of assholeJohn, thank you for existing<3)
((ahsdjflbaskdf what shhhh))
"Sup," you say, and you clench your fists where John can't see them, because you are shaking in nerves. He only smiles and laughs, though, grabbing you to pull you in tight for a hug.
(Your mind whites out for a moment.
"I can't believe it! I'm meeting you! This is so cool. You're taller than I expected, and you seriously... are those the glasses I gave you?" You flush at the question, look away, which John takes for the affirmative it is, laughing. "Dude, that's corny as hell! I wasn't expecting you to keep them on forever."
There's a silence here where it's clear that John wants you to respond, so you shrug one shoulder. "Yeah, well, I had to. Irony and whatever, right? Take a gift too seriously?"
John waves you off. "Whatever, Dave. It's okay to admit that you like the gift." He shoves his hands into his pockets, grinning still and still. "Man, this is so cool."
You shrug again, not because you don't think it's cool -it is, except for the part where now John knows that you are a complete and utter waste of his time, congratulations- but also for a lack of anything to say. You hitch your skateboard up in your hands, a casual, nonverbal cue, and sure enough, John's eyes drop down to it.
But then he looks up, his cheeks oddly red. He stares at you, wide-eyed and hopeful. "Can I give you a ride home? So we can keep talking?"
You open your mouth to say no, to tell him that the joke is over, because you're done and tired of waiting for the punchline to happen where he laughs and drops you like yesterday's beat. But instead, you grin weakly. "...Sure."
John's smile is huge and lopsided and you don't understand him at all.

!!!! Is there any way I could get a link to said Spotify playlist? :o
Uuuuuuhhhh, GIVE ME A SECOND, I use Spotify mostly for shit to listen to at work, so I have almost no idea how to work most of its features!
A!J playlist. Comprised mostly of the songs that transhinji and janecrockeyre put on their respective playlists, or at least, all of the songs I could find on Spotify anyway, and then a few I added myself.
For asshole!John songs, have you ever heard Intoxicated I Love You by SayWeCanFly? It's about two people who hook up at a party, and one person is completely in love with the other, but in the morning when they're sober, the other person tries to convince them that it meant nothing and it just really reminds me of A!John.
I have not heard that song yet! I'll go cue it up on Spotify here in a second though~
(It sounds REMARKABLY LIKE A CERTAIN FIC ahahah oh my god that's great thanks for the song rec)
