They're not my moves if you are using them too. [Thank god the cardigan goes away. But he's doing his best not to watch him and instead shuts his eyes.] Anyway I have to know who I have to fight for your honor and stuff.

[parodeity]

That wouldn't be a fight for honor, and they're your moves if you used 'em first? That is how moves work.

[ the jacket comes off, then his tie, the cufflinks and then the shirt, replaced with something older and softer and long-sleeved. ]

And the answer's still no. It'll keep you on your toes.

[windeity]

Okay it's a fight for my honor then. [What is he even talking about anymore. Even with his eyes closed he does at least crack one up to sneak a peek since Dave is still Dave.]

Remind me why I like you again?

[parodeity]

[ glad john still thinks dave is hot. he's always careful about putting his clothes away if not...other things, like the cords he still kind of leaves wherever, so moving at normal human speed this takes a little while but he doesn't speed himself up. the belt and slacks are exchanged for sweats and he digs around in his sock drawer to find something warm. ]

Best friend requirements or something. Also, that doesn't even make any sense re: your honor.

[windeity]

[It's unfortunate but yes, Dave is hot. Anyway he's comfortable and finally letting himself relax so he's sleepily watching Dave putter around and dig for socks and such even when there's a soft laugh.]

That is because my honor is already ruined or something. Also yes, exactly. The only reason I like you at all is because of best friend requirements.

[parodeity]

[ fuzzy socks from rose are both ugly and warm, and that's what he ends up tugging on. ]

That still makes no sense. [ what the fuck is john even talking about. eventually he's supposedly more or less ready to sleep (he won't sleep) and he pet mewpac and flips the lights. ]

...You're lucky I'm nicer than you are, re: your moves. [ said with absolutely no indication what he means, but he'll at least join john instead of not. it's better than saying "more pathetic" which could be an alternate truth here. ]

[windeity]

[He doesn't reply to, like, any of that because Dave's joining him and for once it's John immediately curling around him instead. It's still loose and a little cautious like he's not sure if this is okay but he's making them comfortable and pulling another blanket over them.]

Yeah, yeah, I am lucky in a lot of ways when it comes to you. [It doesn't take long for Mewpac to join them on the bed either.]

[parodeity]

[ this is an example of how john is not nice: things dave thinks but doesn't say, and he's not even sure if he feels that way or not. someone else initiating this kind of thing is a weak point, though, and he doesn't complain even as he shifts to try to find a position he doesn't mind being stuck in. ]

Go the hell to sleep, Egbert.

[windeity]

Mmhm. [Already ahead of you, Dave.] Are you going to try...?

[parodeity]

[ lmao no ]

Mmhmm. Sleep.

[windeity]

[Okay. There's a nudge against the side of Dave's face that may have been a kiss if John wasn't already mostly asleep but he Tried. Lmao sorry Dave, he'll get his shit together soon.]

[parodeity]

[ things that aren't going to help dave sleep: THAT. but okay, whatever, go the fuck to sleep john! dave will do the thing where he just runs a hand through john's hair mostly soothingly so john will stop being a nuisance. ]
