[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.

[parodeity]

[ the list of things dave cannot bring up:
> bro
> john's sexuality and the awkwardness therein
> their monthly anniversary he's going to quietly mark on his own
> "hey write me a love song"
> "you erased a version of me in our past life heads up" ]

I get to hear all of it first off?

[windeity]

[That is a large list. But alas.]

I never said I'd withhold any of it. You can hear the beginnings, middles and ends. It's kind of a long process unless I'm really focused. [But being really focused means writing enough and ignoring everything else including work and school and Dave himself.]

[parodeity]

[ the hey write me a love song one is STUPID.

dave just looks at john, speculative. ]

I don't mind if you do.

[windeity]

[Like. Inevitably that'll happen regardless but probably not when Dave expects it. He's not sure what the look's for this time.]

Cool. You will get so sick of my texts with thirty-second samples and everything.

[parodeity]

I think you way underestimate how much I want the texts?

[windeity]

I know. You always like texts. [He shakes his head and works on finishing his meal.] Then text spam it is. Different genres and different instruments maybe, too.

[parodeity]

Mewpac needs a lullaby.

[windeity]

Mewpac does, or you do? Does the cat even really like music?

[parodeity]

The cat likes it when I sing to her, I'll have you know. Do you want a lullaby?

[windeity]

Why not? I think everybody likes having something special just for them.

[parodeity]

So that's a yes?

[windeity]

Sure. That's a yes.

[parodeity]

...I'll consider it if you're very, very good.

[ or if john is bad, whatever ]

[windeity]

Thanks, Santa. [He laughs even as he finally finishes his meal and finds himself presented with the check.] I'll look forward to it.

[parodeity]

[ WHOOPS. dave has to finish up eating he's slow. ]

That's assuming you'll be good???

[windeity]

[Like he wouldn't be content to sit here for literal hours if it meant Dave finished a meal. And yet, he's just making a face.]

Name one time I haven't been on good behavior.

[parodeity]

I heard you were cheatin' in snowball fights.
