[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.]

[parodeity]

[ yeah fun fact when dave is done cleaning up top he just forgoes the ladders and steps and hops the railing to land on his feet on the ground. tired and cold or not he’s too fucking prone to ninja antics. ]
