[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?

[windeity]

Okay. That means leaving the fort. [Which is a nest. But.] The lights will be easy to pack up at least.

[parodeity]

What are the chances of convincing you to give me a piggyback ride to the car after cleanup.

[windeity]

Pretty high, I think? I am feeling kind of generous right now. [But he sits up a little higher.] C'mon. Time jump us and we can go home.

[parodeity]

I wish I could think of something to take advantage of that break piggyback ride is all I want. [ he’s already touching john so he just. loops them back, no warning. ]

[windeity]

[They loop and John blinks in surprise because again, it's fast and over before he thinks.]

Okay. Do you want to stay up here while I pack up the lights?

[parodeity]

...kind of, but I’d feel bad making you play cleanup alone.

[windeity]

I set up everything alone didn't I? It's okay.

[parodeity]

I’ll help anyway. [ stubborn even when tired but ] Then we’ll be done faster.

[windeity]

And if we're done faster we can go home faster? [He's onto your sneaky game, Dave. Or something.] Okay, okay. If you want to help do you want to start grabbing the blankets and stuff and I'll collect the lights?

[parodeity]

Split duties is fine. You have to tell me the difference between us and eighties couples also?

[windeity]

I think I said I would tell you if you didn't figure it out at the end of the night, but you did. So we're pretty on-par for the eighties.

[parodeity]

What. When did I figure it out??

[ goddamn it john ]

[windeity]

[He just ducks in swiftly to peck Dave's lips again.

Apparently the difference was "the night didn't end on a kiss" but now it did.]

[parodeity]

[ what the fuck!! ]

You could have just solved that yourself.

[windeity]

[His only response is to start laughing.] I think I just didn't, didn't I?

[parodeity]

No, I definitely kissed you first tonight. [ sO THERE tho it was after john asked him to and while half asleep. ]

[windeity]

Because I asked if I could. [He's still laughing sorry Dave. But also:] ...you're kind of cute when you're sleepy.

[parodeity]

Don’t get used to it? You fall asleep first more often than me. [ Why does it Matter ] And you asked if you could because I said I wanted to.

[windeity]

Whatever. [It doesn't. He gives Dave a contemplative look then.] ...do you still want to?

[parodeity]

[ an eyebrow raise. ] We’re never going to get cleaned up if you derail us that much. Later. Cleaning time is now?

[ also consider he’s COLD ]

[windeity]

[Okay well hope Dave's prepared for John to be a total menace when they get home, but he nods.]

Cleaning time then. I'll meet you on the ground and then I'll carry you back. [He's already moving toward the rungs of the structure to climb down and collect the lights.]
