[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.

[windeity]

You're not taking advantage of anything if I already said I want you to stay, but it is even worse if I force you to stay? Speaking of taking advantage. [This is definitely getting nowhere.]

[parodeity]

I think the rule is the drunk person isn't the one takin' advantage. [ they're definitely having this argument ]

[windeity]

[...yeah okay what about if he suddenly sits up, staring at Dave for a moment before shifting to knock him over and pin him down with his head/chest? That's happening, an arm snaking around his waist again before John pulls a blanket over them haphazardly.]

Do me a favor and shut up for once.

[parodeity]

[ WELL HE

doesn't dodge but he huffs out a sigh and steadfastly REFUSES to put his arms around john for like

two minutes. ]

You have not bribed me to silence so I refuse?

[windeity]

[Here lies Dave Strider: death by drunk, probably mildly annoyed cuddling.]

If you shut up, I will let you make me eggs tomorrow morning. [That makes no sense but okay.]

[parodeity]

How is that bribing me??? You want me to make eggs.

[windeity]

And you want to stay in my bed, so I think we can probably make that work for both of us? Just a thought.

[parodeity]

...no I don't. [ lmao yes he does and he's definitely got his arms around john again. ] Maybe what I want is to go back to the party and also get drunk?

[windeity]

[What about if he just laughs in Dave's face? Like. It's not mean, but it's hilarious to think about and he's just burrowing his face further into Dave's chest instead to muffle said-laughter.]

You could, but I doubt it because that means walking back and it is too cold outside for you. [Well.] Besides, you and I can get drunk together later. This probably won't be the last party.
