Panprice Week 2024 Days 2 + 3!

"Date + Food"

(This story takes place after GSPI, Dave was rescued by the government and Dave and Rupert had very recently started dating).

Dave nervously aproached Rupert, who was leaning against one of the broken walls in the government military base. Dave repeated what he wanted to say silently in his mind, ever since they had started dating he had found himself twice as nervous around Rupert and he was worried that the words would get stuck in his throat as soon as he saw him.

When he finally got to Rupert's location he took a deep breath, "You can do this Dave, just go ahead and say it." the guy encouraged himself before speaking.

"H- hey Rupert?" Aand he stuttered, what a great start...

"What is it Dave?" Rupert responded casually, not paying any mind to Dave's stuttering. Seeing how relaxed Rupert seemed at his stuttering almost distracted Dave from what he originally wanted to say, but he managed to focus.

"W- well, since we started d- dating and all of this I just thought that we should... Uhm, y'know... Go out... In a date..? O- only if you want to though, obviouslyIdon'twanttoforceyou-" Dave was suddenly interrupted by the sound of Rupert's chuckles.

"Dave why would I ever reject a chance at spending time with you?" Rupert asked but didn't let Dave reply before answering Dave's original question. "Sure, let's go on a date, did you have a place in mind?"

It took Dave a solid minute to process what just happened, whatever self-deprecating thoughts he had were immediately replaced by his love for the man in front of him, his boyfriend, it was only once he felt his cheeks redden that he remembered to answer.

"O- oh, well, uhm, d- do you have a place in mind?" Dave responded as he realized he hadn't actually thought that far.

Rupert chuckled and shook his head, already expecting such an answer from Dave.

"How about I make it a surprise for you?" He suggested, Dave was nervous about the idea of it being a surprise but nodded anyways, he knew and trusted Rupert well enough to know that the surprise would be pleasant.

"Great! Then I'll pick you up this Saturday, sounds good?" Rupert responded to Dave's nodding.

"Y- yeah!" Dave blurted out, his mind still in a confused state.

[That Saturday]

Dave paced around nervously as he waited for Rupert to arrive, and while he doubted that Rupert would choose a fancy place (Mainly because both of them knew how Dave's social anxiety and clumsiness could be in a place like that), but not knowing what to expect he simply ended up wearing a semi-formal outfit just in case.

Dave was already gping through his seventh potential scenario when he heard Rupert knocking on the door, his surprise and excitement making him rush towards the door almost falling twice on his way there, Rupert had to suppress a chuckle when Dave opened the door in a hurry.

"Damn I don't think I've seen you this nervous since back when you first joined the police force!" Rupert joked trying to get Dave to relax, Dave laughed nervously at the joke while he stepped outside his house, Rupert noticed his anxiousness and took his hand to comfort him silently as he guided him to the place of their date, and while Rupert would never admit it, Dave could tell he was also nervous by the way he avoided his gaze which actually rather comforted him because it meant that Rupert really did care and wanted him, something that a year earlier he would've thought to be impossible.

Dave only noticed that they had finally arrived to the place when Rupert pulled his arm, the place wasn't all that far from Dave's house and he soon recognized it as the same café that he had once told Rupert he wanted to go to.

Dave smiled as they sat on a table with a view to the outside.

"You remembered when I told you about this place..!" Dave said as he looked at the inside in awe.

"Of course, why wouldn't I?" Rupert responded, never taking his eyes off of Dave even as their food arrived...

(I decided to do 2 in one cuz idk restaurant date? Makes sense to me lol) (Can you tell I lost motivation at the end? The drawing was another thing that was supposed to be digital but I forgot to actually draw the digital version + I realized that I lacked time soo...)

Panprice Week 2024 Day 4!

"Angst"

TW: Mentiouns of G*n Violence and bl00d.

(This story takes place during the PBT Ending)

[Rupert's POV]

I knew it was a bad idea to put a criminal to fight against other criminals, now we were fighting the Toppats in the middle of the desert after that bastard decided to go rogue on us and steal the Romanian Ruby from them, not that I was complaining, I much rather being on the battlefield than in that helicopter.

As I was shooting some Toppats I saw someone running through the corner of my eye, I didn't recognize him at first due to all the time that had passed but when I looked more carefully there was no doubt on who it was, Dave, the very reason I even joined the military in the first place and he was right there in the middle of the battlefield, I didn't question what he was doing there and instead immediately started shooting at the Toppats that got too close to him while trying to get closer myself so I could hopefully lead him somewhere safer. However as I was approaching him I noticed someone shooting in his direction, to my surprise it wasn't a Toppat shooting at him but one of my colleagues who had probably confused him for a Toppat trying to escape the battle.

"Wait! You're making a mistake!" I shouted, but the sounds of gunshots and battle drowned my voice, when I noticed that the guy wan't going to stop anytime soon I ran towards Dave, hoping to shield him with my body instead so the bullets didn't hit him, I had been searching for him for far too long to lose him now!

But I wasn't fast enough.

The bullet hit him by the time I had finally reached him and all I could do was hold him as he fell.

"No, no dammit! Don't you dare die on me Dave..!" Those were the only words that came out of my mouth as I desperately tried to think of a way to save him, eventually I ripped a part of his uniform to try and use it as a bandage in the meantime so he didn't bleed out.

"Hold on Dave please! I already lost Johnny I can't lose you too!" I thought, seeing how much blood he was losing made me even more desperate than before so I carefully grabbed him and tried my best to get him to a medic somewhere, there had to be way to save him right? I saw some of my colleagues start to cover me while also calling out for a medic.

Eventually the medic arrived and we ended up once again travelling in a helicopter to get to a hospital to save Dave as soon as possible, I hated it but was the only way to potentially arrive in time, however having to stand idle again just forced me to think about what just happened.

"You were late to save him again." "It's all your fault, you should've watched out for him more." I tried to shove away those voice away but I just couldn't, it didn't matter how aware I was that I did what I could to help him I still believed I should've done more somehow, he was the only thing that kept me going after all...

.

.

I paced around endlessly as I waited in the hospital, not knowing whenever Dave would make it or not had me on my nerves and my thoughts weren't helping either.

"If you had made sure he checked the package that time then he wouldn't have gotten fired and gotten a job as a security guard, that way he wouldn't have gotten kidnapped by the Toppats nor would he have ended up caught in the crossfire!" I shook my head, there was no way thinking about what ifs would help me at the moment, plus if there's someone to blame for this theres only one person... Henry Stickmin, the guy that escaped that prison in the first place, stole that diamond and went rogue on us in that airship, if he didn't do any of that then Dave would've never been in the Hospital in the first place!

My thoughts were interrupted by the light sound of the door opening, I saw the doctor, the neutral expression on her face didn't help ease my concerns.

"How is he?!" I asked, my emotions making me ask it louder than I wanted to.

The doctor simply nodded and I could see a slight smile forming.

"You may go see him now."

I immediately headed inside, when I saw him sitting I could feel the relief course through my body but I still got beside him as quick as I could.

"... Rupert?" He said, his voice was a bit weak from having just recently woken up, he looked at me confused while I hugged him carefully not to hurt him on accident, seeing him there alive and well made me tear up, I hated being vulnerable like this but I couldn't help it and cried on his shoulder.

"Daveyou'reokayohmygodIwassoscaredIwouldloseyouohmygod." I felt Dave slowly and gently put his hand on my shoulder as I sobbed, I really hated the fact that he had to see me like this but his comfort made me feel a bit better about it.

"H- hey Rupert... It's okay, I- I'm here..." He tried his best to comfort me with his words and I made an effort to stop my neverending tears to look at him in the eyes.

"I missed you so much..." I whispered as to not let my tears get the best of me again.

"I missed you too." He responded with a gentle smile.

FINALLY I'M DONE geez this took a while, I'm blaming my procrastination for this/j. Originally I was planning to kill off Dave but I felt lazy kind so have this instead lol.
