[ Even if he was trying to sound mean about it, he'd still get the same delighted laugh out of James. He likes the struggle, the way John pushes back, if not with gestures then with words at the very least. He even is agreeable enough to allow John to lift himself up just enough to sink his teeth into his shoulder, as hard as he likes. ]

[ It's probably not going to be far either way if he knows John at all, he doesn't even expect to have to get out of bed for it. ]
