nearly at the place but we can belay whatever you need to tell me until we get back home? if you want or do you wanna do this via text
[ he types "home" without thinking about it, for all he says "the apartment" or "your place" more often than not in a careful cagey way because dave doesn't like confirming what he considers to be safe and important, these days. ]
but yeah that would definitely be a whiplash thing like plus one to the club of people happy anya doesnt have a terrible illness that would be a terrible world and should never be allowed to occur
( it sticks out, the home. in probably the most unintentional way, dave's managed to ground yuri with one freaking word. because what matters more than so many things?
the family (the people) you choose for yourself. that's home. so he reads one word and he just... slows down. actually stops, staring at his phone.
and he smiles, breathing out like there's air left to expunge from his lungs. home. )
when we're home
( and that's all he says about that. the slowing down, the no longer hearing ringing in his ears, that lets ihm remember to breathe as he heads on toward the grocers. )
we dont control if it does or doesnt. but i would never want that. not for you or anya or karkat even if you and karkat dont get along.
[ and dave definitely doesn't know, for all that it would have worked on him, too. it was unthinking and genuine, and he's thinking in a thousand different directions and takes the repetition as confirmation as to what they're going to do. ]
i think itd take us about three years of being locked up together to get along like historically speaking that seems to be the answer
[ dave will be waiting outside the grocer's, texting. he's the image of an ordinary teen, slouched against a wall and focused on his phone. ]
we didnt get along back then either that said i wouldnt really wish anything bad on the dude or anyone else really im not even remotely serious about all the hellfire directed at jim that i occasionally egg on
( accidental, genuine comfort: probably the best kind. )
weirdly philosophical feels like life sometimes
( but then he's there, wearing... Anya's........ jacket over one arm, since he realised he walked out with that in his white noise induced idiocy. otherwise he's still in the Anya merch shirt, all.. Anya... promoting. the irony. )
Hey.
( he holds out his arm and the jacket therein; )
Do you mind running this back to Anya? I kind of walked off with it without... thinking.
[ it won't take him any time at all, because he's...super speedy and has time travel...
...mostly it's the time travel. but dave takes the jacket and lets it fall into his sylladex. which means it just disappears. he uses the sylladex frequently so yuri is probably used to dave picking up items and them just going into hammerspace???
( is his near automatic response, and it's true, but he's also a filthy layering person himself. besides, it's not that he doesn't want to see her, but he isn't ready to answer and he wants at least the day and the next to think things over. keeping Anya's coat that long because he's working through things just sounds rude.
the hammerspace thing is still cool and also freaky, but the kind of freaky that is in fact awesome. so Yuri loves it. of course. )
Hopefully she's hanging out with people tonight.
( he says, sighing as he does, pushing his hand through his bangs and holding them back off his face. now he looks troubled, shaking it off after a moment. there's more he'll find himself needing to talk about with Dave when they're home, but... right now they're not. he closes his eyes. one day they may even be GREEN AGAIN, but in the meantime everyone is a grey eyed monster and i love that. truthiness. i think. LOOK IM TIRED )
[ HE DOESN'T MOVE. he can just. loop back at a later date to now and get the jacket to anya. it's fine. time shenanigans are fine. ]
And it's Anya, dude. You and I both know she knows the entire damn city, and she ain't a loner. I'm pretty sure she'll have someone to chat with. [ ...and, really, she'd asked dave to be there for yuri whenever this happened. because yuri has only so many friends.
anya hadn't needed to ask. ]
For now, let's focus on the needs of our fridge, then we can head back. Are you in a cookin' mood or am I making American pasta?
[ this could be anything from pasta to mac and cheese. it is hard to tell with dave. ]
