[windeity]

Seeing how I dragged you outside to fly at 4am and some other stuff? Yes, probably. Do you know what you actually want?

[parodeity]

Yeah. [ what if he shifts to just drape himself on john's side instead of holding his hand to LEECH HIS HEAT. ]

[windeity]

[John drops a little through the cloud but quickly kicks back up, an arm looping around Dave's waist before turning to stare at him and giving a slightly incredulous laugh.]

Okay, sure. [Whatever.] I'm sorry, I definitely did not think about how cold it'd be up here. We can head in soon? [At least John's still a portable space heater so that's nice.]

[parodeity]

I think you're a genetic mutation.

[ ...THANKS, DAVE. he's either rhapsodizing about science factoids or insulting john ig there's no inbetween.

presumably he means about being warm, though, since he's clearly pretty much hanging off of john for that exact reason. it's not subtle. he's cold and john is warm and this is unfair. ]

But we can stay out longer if it's like this, since you're weird.

[windeity]

[FFS DAVE.]

I am glad you're benefitting off of my weird mutation. [It's a little dry, but okay, fine.] I promise I will make it up to you. It's technically Saturday now, isn't it?

[parodeity]

Do you want the exact time or just the vague confirmation that Saturday is in fact occurring?

[ muffled into john's shoulder because his face is cold too. look. ]

[windeity]

Vague confirmation is fine, which I am assuming is this. [Fine. He'll just rub Dave's arms to warm him up because Dave Strider is a huge baby when it comes to the cold.] If I remember right I made you a deal for Saturday.

[parodeity]

[ rubbing his arms merits a sigh because that does help with warm, but yeah. ]

Did you? [ he remembers flippantly telling john to make him breakfast at some point but. ]

[windeity]

Uh huh. [He thinks about if it's possible to bottle a cloud or if it'd disappear. Why is John a science major, exactly?]

It's still early that everyone in the dorm should still be asleep, too.

[parodeity]

[ because he won’t listne to dave and go to music ]

...because we’re doin’ something secret?

[windeity]

No, because I do not feel like feeding a bunch of people right now. [A grin.] Breakfast, remember?

[parodeity]

I’m not that hungry. [ automatic answer. but john is offering to cook so: ] ...but sure, ok.

[windeity]

It'll reheat. We could always go back to bed instead? [He's pretty impartial to how they spend this particular Saturday, but also:] ...I mean I am kind of hungry now that I'm awake but.

[parodeity]

I want to see you cook. [ dave elaborates. SO ]

[windeity]

Sometimes I think you take way too much joy out of the most mundane things. [Not that he minds. He doesn't, and the tone makes it obvious. He kind of appreciates it before he turns to keep providing as much warmth as possible.]

You'll come back out with me again later? When it's not 4am on a Saturday morning.

[parodeity]

Depends. Will cooking involve a stupid apron? [ like with a cooking pun on it??? ] But yeah. You only ever have to ask?

[windeity]

I am never going to wear an apron no matter how much my Nanna probably wants me to. It mostly involves me cooking in my pajamas and probably trying to figure out how our dormmates might've fucked up the stove again. Is that still appealing?

[parodeity]

It would sound more appealin' with a stupid apron. Maybe a chef's hat.

[ dave why. but that wasn't an objection to that plan? ]

[windeity]

Ugh. While I admit I look okay in hats that is definitely pushing it. But to make up for that, I'll even let you drag my blanket into the kitchen since it is probably still a little cold in the dorm.

[parodeity]

No one looks okay in hats. [ tbh he doesn't really LIKE hats, but chef's hats are goofy enough to pass. ] You should cook in an apron at least once in your life. One of the ones with like, a stupid cooking pun on the front. You're not a real baker until you do.

[ ?????????????? why does he always pick the dumbest fucking idea in any conversation to focus on. ]

[windeity]

[...out of nowhere he suddenly laughs at something he remembers but he shuts up quickly enough. Instead, he runs a hand through the clouds one more time before he starts to descend and test his speed and agility in the air while still letting Dave cling for now.]

You're right, most hats are pretty goofy. But anyway if I absolutely have to wear an apron I'll wear one only for the first meal we're making whenever we move out of the dorm. Deal? [That gives him several months and therefore he wins.]

[parodeity]

[ what if dave shifts so john just has to give him a piggyback ride here. and so that john can't see his expression. ]

You sure about that?

[windeity]

[He doesn't mind apparently.]

I am pretty sure, yes. Unless you have objections to that, too.

[parodeity]

No. [ no objections. hm. ] It's a deal if we move in together, then.

[windeity]

Okay. I think I can uphold that bargain. [The flight down is smoother than the flight up and not too long after they land on the roof. He rubs at Dave's arms again to provide extra warmth before he glances back at the door leading back into the dorm.]

Want to head to the room first to get a blanket and meet me in the kitchen?
