[Connor stills when Dave kisses him. It's just for a moment, a second of shock before Connor is pressing Dave into the counter. It's slightly more aggressive that he would normally be, but he's taking the no to be about the push-ups, the punishment. He knows what it's like to feel so out of control you're drowning and Connor's pretty sure that as long as he has the reins, then Dave will at least float.
Maybe. Here's hoping, anyway, because he still feels vaguely responsible for Dave in a way that's... it's whatever. He'll deal with that when he gets there, if he gets there.
Right now, he's pinning Dave to the counter and, maybe for the first time, it's clear that he's much stronger. It's the solidness of someone who's used to being physical, who can lift heavy objects without much thought. When he breaks the kiss, it's to say:]
I still make the rules here, Dave. Just because you can say no doesn't mean you can misbehave.
