[ he bears the pressure, the intent, the recognition that david's trying to get one up on him in a way. it's not out of the ordinary. survivors who realize that no, he's not going to kill them when they're done, sometimes go for it. generally he doesn't mind. they never get very far before his patience runs thin.
the one buckle opens easily; it's to both of their benefit that david doesn't even attempt the other, because that'd probably ruin the mood. half the time even evan can't manage to pull it off without pissing himself off. the hand on his chest avoids the scars, the worst of the embedded metal and shrapnel, and so what he can feel is pleasant more than it isn't.
he lets that go on for a bit, letting david leave marks (which should infuriate him) and get his hands wherever they can find unbroken skin, before his grip around david's hip tightens and his other hand comes up to pull the mask off and set it aside - and then find its way into david's hair and, short as it is, get a grip to pull his head back.
it's not intended to be painful, or at least no more than normal. there's no malice in his expression. the patience, as david suspected, just isn't that strong outside a hunt. ]
