[windeity]

...are...you okay? [He's rolling his eyes though because what the fuck did he do now.]

[parodeity]

You’re exhausting. [ nothing except be john...dave shifts so his chin is resting on his crossed arms. ] So, what else?

[windeity]

I am not. [There's a tiny smirk though.] We can talk about all of that later, dude, we have time. Finish your pasta and I promise to write you something good tonight.

[parodeity]

That’s the exhausting part. And what do you mean by that? [ music???? ]

[windeity]

What do you think I mean? You like remixing stuff I write, so I will write something for you to play with tonight. It will probably be short though.

[parodeity]

[ it is an unfortunately fair trade...he eyes john for a moment before pulling his pasta back over. ]

You're still exhausting, though.

[windeity]

I like to think it is more like keeping you on your toes instead. [But he's satisfied with that.]

[parodeity]

[ ... ]

That's not really what it is.

[windeity]

You have something else in mind? [He was mostly just screwing around, but he's interested in what Dave has to say.]

[parodeity]

No. However you wanna think of it works fine. [ he takes another bite of pasta. half...of half a plate down so ] Keeping me on my toes can be how we look at it.

[windeity]

...as long as it's not something you think is actually bad.

[parodeity]

Currently? No.

[windeity]

...[There's a soft confirmation sort of sound as he nods, focusing on his food for a bit.]

If you say so. Just...I hope it stays that way. [There's a grin though.] I think I know what I want to write when we get back.

[parodeity]

Who knows. What do you wanna write?

[windeity]

[A small smirk.] Finish as much of your food as possible and we can go home and find out?

[parodeity]

I hit the halfway mark, I deserve a hint?

[windeity]

It'll be something you really like? [You never said a good hint, Dave.]

[parodeity]

That's a terrible hint??

[windeity]

Haven't you ever heard that the anticipation makes the wait better? [No.] Something lighter than the last few things I've written, I think

[parodeity]

Do I get something next month?

[windeity]

You could get something every week if you wanted. I am finding it's hard to be short on material around you.

[parodeity]

[ what the fuck ]

I wouldn't say no, but not what I meant.

[windeity]

You had something in particular in mind? [He's perfectly aware that Valentine's Day is next month but he's mostly teasing.]

[parodeity]

...Nope.

[ THE CHILD WHO REFUSED TO ENLIGHTEN JOHN ABOUT THEIR ONE MONTH ANNIVERSARY ]

Maybe you can try some new genres or somethin', though.

[windeity]

[Someday John will figure it out and promptly yell internally, but for now!!!]

I've thought about it! I'm taking a world music class this semester, too, as one of my electives just to get a better idea of what populates what regions and stuff. I'm hoping it'll be inspiring and stuff.
