VOICE | TEXT | VIDEO | ACTION

GO HERE FOR NEW THREADS!!!!!!! This one loads slow for me.

Wouldn't be the first time I ended up getting lead astray by someone I cared about. But I'm still pretty sure I would not regret it anyway. Where does that leave us? [He's changed into pajama pants and a t-shirt before he starts rummaging around his movie collection for the selected film.]

...Who knows. [ he'll just head for the bed. ]

[The movie's tossed into the player and he's busying himself with stuff before he heads back to their bed with popcorn and apple slices and he sits back, tucked into a corner near the headboard and the wall while passing Dave said-apples.]

I wouldn't worry about it personally. I'm not.

[ he just eyes john for a second before taking the slices, shrugging. ]

Then it’s not worth discussing. [ and then he’ll quiet down to presumably watch the movie ]

[He'll shut up, but also:]

You know I love you, right? [A line he's said before, something to confirm.]

Best friends. [ it’s confirmation in its own fashion. ]

[A nod. He shifts again, glancing at Dave curiously before he moves to rest his head on Dave's shoulder instead.]

...so hey, if I do not live up to this for Valentine's Day how bad of a boyfriend does that make me?

The absolute worst. [ not really. ] ...you never have to live up to anything, Egbert. I don’t need the frills.

I know you don't need them, but I think everyone deserves some frills every now and then. I would have done most of this anyway because you are also my best friend.

Most of this was pretty romantic, dude.

[ john........

you are a problem ]

...okay well. Yes. [There is literally no excuse to help himself.] The museum wasn't romantic, shut up.

Sure it wasn’t. [ he agrees in a tone that makes it clear he disagrees and is just humoring john... ] But I’m pretty sure you were always this way.

What makes you say that? [He's curious, sure, but he knows that Dave's probably right.] I mean I guess so...I remember the birthday presents to all three of you. Mostly.

Our entire friendship on either side of the scratch. [ though, like. ] I knew you never meant anything by it.

...probably not, though there are definitely a lot of questionable things I did back then that I cannot even begin to justify as being platonic only.

[ that’s actually startling. ] Like what?

[There's a semi-nervous laugh.] Well! You already knew that I was working with Terezi on fixing some things, right?

[ an immediate annoyed expression because that still gives him a headache ] Yeah...

I...maybe kind of went back in the timeline and left her a note saying she probably shouldn't date you? For some reason.

What. [ he seems more baffled than offended at least? like. why would you. ] I mean it ended with her sneaking around with a juggalo so fair but I doubt I told you that.

Probably not since I went back to stop the clown troll from framing Vriska for a bunch of murder or something. But um. No. I definitely wrote that note on my own for some stupid reason and called it friendly advice.

And just other stuff I have said to other people like...maybe I am a little less surprised this happened than I should be.

[ uh. okay then. ] I do not know if they worked out the way you expected it to.

[He rolls his eyes.] Probably not. But I was sixteen. If the me in that timeline was like sixteen year old me here, we were both dumbasses. But it worked out now didn't it?

Just leave the timelines to the professionals from now on.

Well it's not like I can time travel here? So I think I am leaving it to you anyway.
