[windeity]

I still do, but I am just looking at all of my options. Shut up. [The idea is appealing.]

[parodeity]

Yes, but if you pick a different option after teasin' me like this, won't you break my poor maiden's heart?

[windeity]

I am pretty sure you have to be a maiden first, Dave. [But he grins.] Gonna take a cat nap with the cat?

[parodeity]

Why, will you leave if I do? [ his eyes had shut at some point, but he opens them again. ]

[windeity]

Wasn't planning on it, but I can if you would rather have some alone bonding time with the cat.

[parodeity]

I don't want you to leave. [ that's still not an answer. ] - for the record. I know I asked, but you don't have to agree later if you don't want, regardless of what I said about my broken heart or whatever. You can ignore things I say?

[windeity]

Can I ignore that? [Because he will since what the fuck, Dave. He rolls his eyes.] Dude, I know. It's fine. It's just...October. We don't know what else will happen. That's all. But tentatively block me in, I guess.

[parodeity]

I mean, you can ignore it when I say things I want, and not...worry about it too much? [ he makes a face. ] This is at least 50% why I don't like sayin' shit I want or like. Like, don't feel...I dunno, obligated.

[windeity]

...shut up, Dave. [He turns in his chair to face him and the cat.] I am not obligated by any of this, including thinking about living with you and Mewpac in the summer. Okay?

[parodeity]

Okay, but like...if [ it sounds like "when" ] you change your mind and stuff, that's okay? Like, you are right, it is a long ways off and things happen and yeah.

[windeity]

...take a nap with Mewpac, Dave. I'm not leaving. [And Dave is rambling and clearly needs to go the fuck to sleep for a while.]

[parodeity]

...I'm not tired. [ why is he five. ]

[windeity]

Sure about that? [He sounds incredibly amused because yes, why are you five, Dave?]

[parodeity]

Well, are you tired.

[windeity]

I kind of am, actually, but I have a paper I need to work on so I am going to try to do that first. What do you even have to do today that you can't create a loop for?

[parodeity]

Nothing. I never procrastinate on my homework these days.

[ TRUE. ]

...Anyway, you're up, therefore I can do whatever I want.

[windeity]

That is my point, Dave. You have nothing to do, so just relax for a little while. [He shakes his head.] What do you want to do then since I am up?

[parodeity]

I am gonna sit here awake while you do your essay, obviously. Not relaxing.

[ now he's just being irritating on purpose. ]

[windeity]

Stop being stubborn or I am going to sit on your legs until you fall asleep.

[parodeity]

Finish your damn essay, Egbert.

[windeity]

Only when you take a nap, Strider.

[parodeity]

Finish your essay first and maybe I'll take a nap?

[windeity]

[...yeah okay. He'll reach over and grab his laptop instead, staring pointedly at Dave before approaching his bed and calmly sitting on his stupid legs. I guess.]

Fine.

[parodeity]

Remember to cite your sources.

[ ...I GUESS HE'S JUST GONNA WATCH JOHN DO HIS ESSAY ]

[windeity]

[That's fine. He'll type with one hand, idly shoosh-pap Dave with the other and just. Sit here. While Dave watches him do his essay and he tries to get Dave to go the fuck to sleep. How successful is that?
