Summary
So that's what he said. Except, he said it in a more joking tone; something like, "If you don't quit that, I'll start crying, you idiot."
But Jack just kept holding him.
"It's okay to cry, Dave."
or; David gets flashbacks of some less than pleasant memories and his boyfriend is more than happy to comfort him.

Summary
The thought slapped him across the face, totally out of nowhere. Jack wasn’t really doing anything special— he was just reclined in David’s bed with his dinner on his lap, and he had a few chip crumbs on his thighs. He didn’t look any prettier than usual. He was just being Jack, staring off at the posters on the adjacent wall, probably thinking about the color composition or some artsy thing like that.
And David was in love with him.
With Jack. David was in love with Jack Kelly, and maybe he’d been in love with Jack Kelly for years and was just now realizing it, because of a stupid plate of quesadillas and the stupid way Jack said ‘made sure it was kosher, too’ because Jack cared about him and remembered the little things and holy shit, David was so fucking in love.

Summary
“I don’t feel like I am. Like I should be,” David says, voice soft. Jack watches him, watches the way his fingertips brush together as he fiddles with the cap of the pen he always keeps in his back pocket. “I don’t think I was meant for this.”
“Meant for what?”
“I don’t know. This.”
———
David has a hard time feeling like he’s where he needs to be. Jack convinces him he doesn’t need to be anywhere, or anything, or anyone- he just needs to be, and that’s enough.Title: Love Like Ghosts - Lord Huron

Summary
(The full story to the one shot I previously posted)
“Speak quickly. You are losing my interest, and that is very dangerous.”
The voice had a heavy New Yorker accent underlining the growl.
“Who are you and what are you doing here?”
David didn’t answer the question. Instead, he glanced at the body and tentatively asked, “What did that man do?”
The dangerous individual seemed surprised at the question if the slight widening of his eyes and the lightening of the pressure at David’s neck was any indication.
“What?”
