[parodeity]

You don't - uh. Do you want them back? You don't usually sleep in them?

[ did he mess up oh my god ]

I don't want them to get broken or somethin' if you fall asleep?

[windeity]

I know that but I can't see without them. [No, John's just stupid. The implication here is that he can't see Dave without them, but also he can't really see because they're in the dark? Whatever, let him live.]

...what about yours though?

[parodeity]

I am a master of not breakin' these shades and would rather cut off my dick than do so?

[ thanks dave ]

...It's dark and you're drunk, what the fuck do you need to be able to see right now.

[windeity]

That sounds painful, maybe do not do that. [Also now that he's relaxed again it's a little more obviously out of it, a combination of sleepy and drunk and comfortable. It's for that reason he sort of using a hand to squish Dave's face.

Please end him.]

I like seeing people when I am talking to them.

[parodeity]

[ ...he rolls his eyes behind his shades and yet does not. make any moves to end this WHY ]

Your eyesight is not so terrible you can't see a few inches in front of your face. What the fuck are you doin', oh my god.

[windeity]

[I'm glad Dave's a sucker. I can't believe this is real.]

Eleanor took my glasses earlier and I could not see shit. I'm not sure about your assessment here. [But he laughs slightly before he stops squishing Dave's face and lays back letting go of Dave briefly to rub at his eyes.

Like. One arm is still in a vice grip around him but okay.] I am pretty sure you are eventually going to regret this friendship, Strider. I have a lot of issues, too.

[parodeity]

[ dave freezes up when john shifts but registers an arm is still around him and tries to relax again after a minute or so. when he can actually breathe evenly he...laughs. ]

Not really. I'd rather see the universe broken than - [ these shades ] - it's impossible for me to regret friendship with you.

[windeity]

I have seen the universe broken. [He sounds very sure of himself, since he has no idea how to interpret anything about that so instead he's just going to stay where he's at. The other arm loosely flops over Dave again.]

Even if things get really weird?

[parodeity]

[ oh okay this is still happening. you cannot make this more gay it's impossible ]

Weird how? You can't really out weird our original timeline, dude.

[windeity]

[I mean. There are absolutely ways to make this more gay but they're friends and John's just a doofus and Dave could still pull away!! Whenever he wanted!! On the other hand John's breathing is also evening out a little as he gets comfortable.

Where the fuck did his water bottle go. Oh well.]

I have no idea. I just want to throw that disclaimer in there for the future. We have never had to deal with anything like this, dude. Who knows what's going to happen?

[parodeity]

John. [ just a quiet sigh. ] I can't regret you. Even if you killed me or whatever the fuck "weird" entails.

[windeity]

I would never kill you. [Like. Okay. They're clear on that.

...he goes quiet again.] ...you can go back to your own bed if you want though. I think we are at the part where I'm realizing my head hurts a lot more than it did an hour ago. [Not that he's making it easy for Dave to move but an attempt was made.]

[parodeity]

Do...yeah, I can, sorry, I - didn't mean to...take advantage or whatever. [ of someone hugging him. why is he this way. ]

[windeity]

...huh? [That's super intelligent, thanks John.]

[parodeity]

I can get out of your hair? You just have to...let go and shit. Sorry.

[windeity]

[There's a confused noise, and his arms flex a little like he's not sure if he wants to tighten his grip or let go.]

I said if you want to, not that you had to.

[parodeity]

Because you want me to? [ this is going well ]

[windeity]

I don't, actually. [Blunt as ever.] But it sort of felt shitty keeping you here if you did not want to stay or, like I said, if shit got weird.

[...apparently this is this universe's form of "no homo."]

[parodeity]

Oh. You want me to stay? [ confirming. ] Also unless you plan to drunkenly hit on me I don't know how you plan to make this weird?

[ ?????????????????????

he'd protest glasses theft that's it ]

[windeity]

I do not drunkenly hit on people. Very bad, very stupid idea. [But yes okay, to get the point across he's going to curl his legs around Dave's instead while a hand sort of grabs around to fix his blankets. That's probably not going well.]

You seem perplexed that I could possibly want you to stay.

[parodeity]

[ john what the absolute fuck are you doing here this is so tangled.

dave goes still and then...

helps to fix the blankets i guess. god! ]

You maybe shouldn't. I shouldn't?

[windeity]

[...well. Okay.

He also lets go of Dave and lifts his eyebrows in a challenging manner? Which is stupid because it's still dark and how the fuck can Dave even see. But whatever. It's clearly a challenge for Dave to see if he'll actually bother getting up.]

[parodeity]

[ oh...kay. john lets go and dave forces himself to follow suit after a beat, drawing back his hands and shifting to sit up. ]

...sometimes I don't have great self control, so "sorry" really was pretty accurate.

[windeity]

[....]

You weren't supposed to sit up. [Now he just sounds tired and his hands are scrubbing over his face.] Also I am not sure what that means, Dave.

[parodeity]

What did you want me to do, then? [ he could trick himself into staying put as long as he was being kept there, but. ] I just...it's shitty to take advantage of people I guess? I mean, I know.
