DaveJohn: Long Distance - Chapter 1

John's POV

I stared at my laptop screen, browsing my dash on Tumblr like I usually did every Friday night. I wasn't really too social, I preferred chatting with a couple online friends or just browsing the internet compared to partying or going out.
Scrolling through my dash on Tumblr, I came across a picture I really liked, and decided to queue it. It was a Supernatural gif set! I decided to see who had reblogged it before me.
Their username was turntechGodhead. I decided to click on the like to their page to check out the rest of their blog. I had an urge to reblog nearly every photo, and I loved their theme! I clicked the 'follow' button right away. Whoever this user was seemed like a really cool person! I decided to click the message button to send a nice anon note.

hey, just wanted to let you know I really like your blog and you seem really cool!! (:
-anonymous

I selected the anon button and sent the message. I continued mindlessly scrolling through my dash, queuing any photo I liked. A couple minutes later, I noticed they had replied to my message.

thanks man, you seem pretty nice too. come off anon so we can chat?
-turntechGodhead

Well, gosh, I didn't expect that! Just a simple 'thanks you' like I usually got. I clicked back to their page and sent them a message.

hey, i came off anon!
-ectoBiologist

I decided that was enough and sent the message, not clicking the anon button. I continued scrolling for a couple minutes before I got another message.

my chumhandle is turntechGodhead. we should chat sometime, you seem cool
-turntechGodhead

I smiled at the thought of making a new friend. I replied right away.

thanks, yeah we should! you seem cool too. mine is ectoBiologist. i'll add you
-ectoBiologist

I opened my PesterChum client to add my new friend.

Dave's POV

Honestly, I was kind of happy to make a new friend. I was kind of lonely only hanging with my bro. Not that I'd ever admit it, I was too cool. This guy seemed pretty decent, so I thought I'd give him a shot.
We started chatting on PesterChum. He was really easy to talk to, actually. He was kind of dorky and awkward, but in an extremely cute way I couldn't quite figure out. We chatted late into the night for hours just about the most random stuff I don't even remember how came up. But time past quickly, and before I knew it, it was nearly 3AM. I sighed, knowing I should get off my laptop and get some sleep.

TB: it's really late, i'm gonna go to bed. i'll talk to you tomorrow, night
EB: i probably should too haha. goodnight! talk to you tomorrow!

Oh god, I did not expect my heart to skip a beat after knowing I would be talking to him tomorrow. I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I reluctantly decided to get some sleep, telling myself it was just a passing feeling and that this was some guy I just met on the Internet.
