[parodeity]

Good. Yours sucked. [ it had inspired dave to kiss john in sheer irritation so yeah. ]

[windeity]

Fuck off. I'd like to see what you'd call it. [But it still got the same result so he wins.]

[parodeity]

I like you. [ fuck off @ john, dave is tired and not up for word games ]

[windeity]

I like you, too, but that does not help. [He's trying not to laugh because sleepy Dave is actually kind of cute? Help them.] For what it's worth I changed it to Serenade Requited. So...a little better.

[parodeity]

Less dumb as fuck. Still kinda want to kiss you anyway. [ he makes zero moves to do so though. ]

[windeity]

Have you considered that maybe I want to kiss you, too? [Goddamnit Dave.]

[parodeity]

[ he's tired. ] Kiss me goodnight, then. [ wait. ] That'd be traditionally back at the dorm.

[windeity]

It's a tradition I could say yes to. [John, maybe consider your "take it slow" argument. But...] Can I kiss you right now? Like a preview.

[parodeity]

[ ...that's going to be the stupidest fucking tradition if john makes it one but okay. dave actually opens his eyes, realizing he'd shut them. ]

...Yeah, okay. Not gonna be my best work. [ but he shifts so he's not nestled into john and can actually see him and leans in to briefly and pretty chastely aim a kiss for john's mouth.

he's a hair off but whatever. ]

[windeity]

[You say that like it won't be a thing, but yeah, okay, he lets Dave move and he grins a little hopefully. He can deal with Dave being half-asleep and he turns his head just enough to adjust the angle and meet him for an equally chaste kiss.

They'll get used to it, maybe, but it's pretty much a good start. He stays there for a touch too long before he pulls away and moves so Dave can return to the cozy little pocket he's made for himself at John's side.]

Thanks. [...he'll stop that eventually but he's pretty happy at least.]

[parodeity]

[ let me live and dream they're not that married!

dave probably isn't as nervous about this as john is, in terms of kissing. he's also tired, which helps, but there's just no desire to do anything other than the brief kiss because john's awkward about it and dave won't press his luck and he's blearily content with what he's managed to get.

there's pretty much zero chance he isn't going to just doze off on john at this point. he's better about staying up for their activities when he actually like

sleeps

the night beforehand ]

You don't have to thank me. That's weird.

[windeity]

[K but what if I don't. Still, there's a slight snort at that.]

I'm not thanking you for the kiss, you douche. [Like yes he kind of is also doing that but whatever.] I meant for giving me another chance.

[parodeity]

You ain't the one who fucked up. [ apparently he is going to fall asleep arguing with john. ok. ]

[windeity]

I definitely fucked up a little bit. [Sigh. Whatever, Dave is still Dave, he can argue himself to sleep.] We'll work on it. But I want this. Okay?

[parodeity]

Mm. Figured out I liked you when your eyes went blue again. [ that's a nonsensical argument so he's. probably not going to be able to hold a logical one at this point. ]

[windeity]

Flattering. [Dryly. But he's keeping his arms around him anyway so he's not too bothered.] Want to nap for a little bit before we jump home? I have the meteors and stuff for company.

[parodeity]

...Wake me up in an hour. [ so yes okay. surrendering. ]

[windeity]

Sure thing. [A hand sweeps over his hair again. Go to sleep, Dave.]

[parodeity]

[ yeah ok. hope John enjoys a dozing boyfriend then?? ]

[windeity]

[He does. He likes his cute dozing boyfriend because Dave doesn't sleep enough? And he kind of regrets it when an hour's up and he shifts a little to wake him up. A hand runs through Dave's hair again because he kind of remembers the last time. Throwing socks at him to wake him up.]

...hey dude. Naptime's up.

[parodeity]

[ it’s a little different in a month without constant nightmares and attacks, when he knowingly went to sleep with someone, but even so dave goes from dozing to wakeful in a plot second. ]

...sorry. [ for dozing at all on johns elaborate date?? ] Fell off the magical mystery tour bus.

[windeity]

[A shrug. It's cool.] Are you going to at least try to go back to sleep when we get home?

[parodeity]

If you go to bed with me. [ or like ] Or maybe if not too.

[windeity]

I'm pretty wiped, too. [So yes he'll definitely be going to bed when they get home.] I still say we should consider pushing the beds together but that's a whole other day.

[parodeity]

We can get the bed combiner thing next time we’re at a store. Come on; we have to go clean up your lights then get home?
