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?

[windeity]

[Hope Dave didn't want his hands for a few hours.]

I am always down for listening to Gordon Ramsey yell at people especially for basic mistakes. [Thinking a little too highly of himself there.]

[parodeity]

Mind usin' your free hand to turn it on? <small.[ he won't call john on it. ]

[windeity]

[Thanks Dave, he'll be less of a baby later. Instead he's comfortable and he uses his free hand to grab the remote on the bedside table and fumbles with the buttons until the TV's on and flipped to the right channel. He probably won't be awake for long anyway.]

[parodeity]

[ fuck u small tags

anyway dave doesn't comment on how long john will or won't be up. he just keeps up the soothing hair-ruffle scalp massage thing and is fairly quiet, and when john crashes he'll turn off the tv maybe but that's about it. ]

[windeity]

[I thought about telling you and went "nah" sorry about that. But yeah, he makes it through maybe an episode and a half with some commentary and remarks that slow down for a bit before he drifts off and falls asleep. Goodbye Dave, sorry you're stuck.]

[parodeity]

[ he doesn't really mind? he just kills the television and lets john sleep.

ALSO, RUDE. ]

[windeity]

[Thanks Dave, you're a good boyfriend. John eventually drifts and wraps his free arm around whatever he can reach and he sleeps for longer than necessary. And we can wrap this one and I'll. Come back for their Christmas Eve thread I hate this goodbye.]
