Tonight, David's stomach is all, whatever, twisting up and clenching and burning and - he's just, he's not feeling well enough to concentrate.
He's totally going to say so, and also maybe to tell Cook that maybe he shouldn't spend the night after all, because if David's sick he doesn't want to pass anything to him, but then Cook says, a little wistfully, "I wouldn't have run late if she wasn't so awesome, man. I mean, I've got my priorities straight. You know that, right?"
And that - it's totally stupid, but David feels the heat spring up his neck anyway, because - because Cook totally blew Melissa off for movie night (which, hi, even David knows is pretty lame since they're both already sixteen - seventeen in a couple of months!), and that's sort of, um. David inhales, sharply, stomach settling, and he hides a little smile as he hugs the popcorn close again. It makes his chest feel all, like, warm and toasty. He loves popcorn.
"I know," he says, finally, and gives Cook's fringe a final pat. "Do you want some popcorn?" he offers, trying to sound cheerful and maybe teasing instead of all, like, strange and fuzzy. "Or did you have too much when you were out on your - um. When you, before you came over." Still, his voice comes out a little weird, sort of an octave too high, maybe?
But Cook doesn't really seem to notice. Instead, he grabs a handful of popcorn (some of it even spills onto David's lap, sigh) and rolls his eyes. "Shut up and play the movie, Archuleta," he demands. "Or I'm gonna tell your mom about the fact that you were in detention twice last week."
"Oh my gosh!" David yelps, and he totally doesn't care when he upsets the food by throwing his pillow in Cook's face, the weirdness already forgotten. "Shut up, that was totally your fault!"
Melissa and Cook stop seeing each other a couple of months later, and David doesn't feel too guilty for being, um, kind of glad when Cook tells him about it. It's - he doesn't not like Melissa, but... Cook's always been really, really clear about what (and, um, who?) his priorities are.

Okay, first of all, Daviiiiiid my stomach was clenching and stuff with you (okay I did just get back from a chinese buffet, so uh, maybe that's not helping) and you just did a BRILLIANT job of him once again, SERIOUSLY DO YOU AND DAVID ARCHULETA JUST HOOK UP AND TALK ABOUT HOW TO CHARACTERIZE HIM OR WHAT?
AND YOUR COOK -- NO ONE EVER GETS TO DO HIM AS A TEENAGER AND HE IS -- I WOULD HAVE THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM, I KNOW I WOULD. MOVIE NIGHT, BRB SQUEALING FOREVER, AND CASABLANCA, JUST, FUCKKKK THAT'S SO PRECIOUS.
And COOK HAVING HIS PRIORITIES STRAIGHT, OH MY GOSH. OH AND ALSO, PUTTING HIS HEAD IN DAVID'S LAP. LAP. LAP. AND DAVID WASN'T EVEN FAZED BECAUSE THEY ARE BFF! KLDFSJSF THIS VERSE IS THE BEST THING EVER.
Iiiiiiiii love you a lot and gosh, this is -- okay, not really, because nothing will ever beat real-time conversation, but it's almost as good as talking to you anyways.
