[parodeity]

I'm not makin' fun of you. You're just not a killer at heart. It's a good thing.

[ he keeps up the motion of his fingers, soothing. ]

[windeity]

[It relaxes him at least.] ...monsters are different. [He doesn't give enough of a shit about killing monsters, it seems.] But I am kind of at a loss what else to do defense-wise.

[parodeity]

Are they really? [ he wonders sometimes. but while dave wonders more about the monsters thing, he's...

more capable of killing. SO. ]

We'll train. Promise.

[windeity]

You don't hesitate with monsters. [There's a sigh into Dave's chest.] Soon. And laser tag with Natalie sometime during break, I already asked her. [A beat.] It's cold.

[parodeity]

That's what happens when you're a big enough idiot not to take a shirt when offered one in winter.

[ ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[windeity]

Now you're being mean. [But he opens an eye.] Can you get me a shirt?

[parodeity]

I got you one, you chose not to change into it. [ but he eases john off of him so he can retrieve it for john anyway? ]

[windeity]

Because lifting my arms kind of hurts, shut up. [But he's smirking a little anyway before he rolls to let Dave up. Once the shirt's retrieved he'll slowly sit up to slip into it before he kicks at their covers.]

[parodeity]

Poor baby. [ but despite the slightly mocking tone he's gentle when he gets back into bed, helping shift the covers up and over them. he's almost weirdly cautious, except he's never actually rough with john so maybe it's not that weird after all. ]

[windeity]

[He sticks his tongue out before he wriggles into his shirt and immediately flops onto Dave's chest again even once they're under the covers.]

Whatever, no one said you had to say. [Other than John's immediately winding an arm around Dave's waist to make sure he can't leave.]

[parodeity]

Want me to go? [ he makes no move to do so but he's apparently just going to say it even as he starts running his hand through john's hair again. ]

[windeity]

Yes, obviously. [He pushes into Dave's hand again and remains curled under the blankets.] Sorry today is going to be a boring afternoon.

[parodeity]

I don't get bored with you. [ the hand motion continues, casual and regular. ] Just go to sleep, dude. You could use the rest.

[windeity]

Not yet. [And it's weirdly serious and maybe something that doesn't involve Dave specifically that John won't talk about right now.] Can't get bored with you either. And I sleep more than you do, thanks.

[parodeity]

Not ever. Two lifetimes, but I still want to hear every dumb anecdote to happen to you ever.
[ his hand keeps moving. ] At least rest your eyes. I'm okay with a lazy day, dude. It's not some huge inconvenience here?

[windeity]

Mm...if you say so. [Content. Quiet.] I am really excited because tomorrow is Christmas Eve which means a lot of cool stuff. I know I have the monopoly on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day but do you want to stop by your place to see your family for a little bit?

[parodeity]

We could? I should introduce you anyway. I mean, not that you have not met Rose, or my parents, but like...

[ VAGUE GESTURE...

"officially" ]

[windeity]

Yeah, I get it. [A slight huff.] It's mostly up to you. I do not mind if you want to see them and do the "this is my smoking hot and buff boyfriend" thing but I also don't mind having you selfishly to myself for the day. Whatever.

[If he jokes about these things he'll want to scream less about being a bad boyfriend.]

[parodeity]

You're in charge? [ for the 24th, he means. and the 25th. ] I'm okay either way. Although I refuse to introduce you with those adjectives. They might be true, but I'm not gonna use 'em.

[windeity]

Come on, it's funny! [But he's closing his eyes and staying close anyway.] What adjectives would you use then?

[parodeity]

Only if you want my older sibs to literally refer to you only as that for the rest of eternity. [ they would... ] Sweet? Whimsical fuck? Funny?

[windeity]

I am not sure "whimsical fuck" is what I want to be known as forever but I get your point. We can worry about it later, we have a few days and I just want to spend the rest of today and tomorrow with only you.

[parodeity]

[ well. his breath catches before he just laughs, pulse a little too fast. ] Then they can wait until the 26th.

[windeity]

[A small grin. Yeah, he can't tell about the pulse but he notices the response and just settles for extending his arm so he can grab one of Dave's hands. They're alone, he's allowed to be mushy at the moment.]

The 26th it is. [...] I don't know if I can sleep though. Can we put something on or something?

[parodeity]

[ guess that’s the hand not running through john’s hair, so. ]

Sure. Preferences, or wanna watch Gordon Ramsey yell at people?
