Hey. I've finally got vocal and guitar tracks laid down for that song. (Mostly thanks to a decent acoustic soundfont I found.)
Think you could take a listen?
Think you could take a listen?
Yeah, of course. I'd go even if I didn't have a keyboard, but I want him to have mine on hand for other piano players that turn up.
Anyway, thanks.

[ that would be some next level wordplay. maybe I SHOULD keep "deep" ]
Well, he'll have a keyboard if he comes.
Wait, seriously?

[Normally John would be up and going pretty early even for a Saturday, so it may be a surprise when he cracks an eye open, sees the room is still dark at 8am and goes back to sleep. Dave can easily come and go as he pleases but he's exhausted and cozy and he sleeps for another couple of hours.
By the time he wakes up again he yawns, stretching a little before he slips out of bed and heads for the window. Drawing the curtains back, he notices the frost immediately before practically smooshing his face to the glass with child-like glee.]
Dude! Snow! [Welp. Congrats and good luck, Dave.]

[ he could come and go as he pleases but he does not? dave's willing to wake john up again later on the grounds that it's saturday and he plans to go back for visitation hours again if john lets him, but otherwise it feels colder than usual and he's fine just making a protesting noise and burrowing into the blankets of whichever the fuck bed they're on and pretending the outside world doesn't exist and leeching heat. he wakes up early like usual but refuses to leave, drowsy and drifting and not thinking of anything much at all.
until it's like, colder and john's actually up and making noise and dave reaches out to grab the cat to pull closer after making an aggrieved noise again in protest of, generally, a lack of heat. the cat is warm and has not abandoned him. ]
Nope.
[ NOPE. if he doesn't acknowledge the snow it doesn't exist. ]

[The curtains are wide open and the bleak sunlight streams through the window while John's ecstatic about the beginning of winter. Dave can burrow in the blankets with the cat but it won't last for long before John turns away from the window.]
Yup. Sorry. Winter exists. [He grins though and he returns to the bed, sitting on top of the blankets and keeping mind not to squish Dave or Mewpac.] How can you not be excited about snow?

Winter is cold.
[ and this is why he wears shades all the time (no it’s not) but it doesn’t mean he can’t sort of glare up a john and reach out a hand to -
no? he actually pauses and draws back, stopping himself from whatever he was about to do and making a face instead. ]
I guess just staying in bed forever isn’t acceptable since I gotta go do things.

[Actually he wants to be touched a lot that is part of the problem. Having a crush is hard, Dave. It's hard and nobody understands. Still, he's making himself comfortable on the bed at least.]
No. I mean I want to do something else later after your visit but I know it's important to you to see him again, so I don't mind.

[ what if he doesn't and instead is hyperaware that john tensed up when he started to reach out instead, what then. ]
You don't even have any ideas? [ he has yet to bother to sit up, just peering up at john as he lets mewpac snuggle into his chest and the blankets and purr. ]
