[parodeity]

Two ideas. A punishment I'll enjoy...or one I think you will.

[windeity]

Can a punishment be enjoyable? [His pulse picks up a little and his fingers nervously drum on Dave's leg, but otherwise he's fine. Totally.]

[parodeity]

Well, you'd probably mind it eventually. The second one, I mean. You're touching again.

[ also he shoves john back to get him to lie down, helpfully, even though he doesn't intend to himself? ]

[windeity]

[A definite pout.]

Are you really that opposed to me touching you? [But he lays back...on the floor. So Dave's just going to sit up on him?]

[parodeity]

Never. But sometimes patience is a virtue. [ yep. but he leans forward, bracing himself with a hand to either side of john, and...

does nothing. ]

Which punishment? Or both. Decisions, decisions.

[windeity]

[...this shouldn't be as hot as it is, but here they are? He's 18 and he's only been with one other person and Dave's startling attractive and their relationship's still really new. He can't exactly be faulted for this.]

Um...could you even pull off both?

[parodeity]

Yeah. The one you won't enjoy is a foreign art film that'll bore you to tears. Take me next weekend?

[windeity]

...[He just starts laughing.] You could have just asked, dork. I definitely would not mind taking you. It's a movie, right? How bad could it be?

[Little does he know.]

[parodeity]

No, you will like ten minutes in, but it's fine if it's a punishment. [ is it...

look normally he doesn't like to ask john to do things he knows john wont enjoy? ]

...you know you can flip me off?

[windeity]

Alright, alright...[He grins again.]

I could but I kind of like the view. [He's definitely used a similar line before and does not give a single fuck.] I assume you not moving is the punishment I would like?

[parodeity]

Nah. Remember you're still not clear to touch me. [ apparently he's just not fucking explaining whatever punishment two is. dave just leans down to kiss john, firm but not desperate.

hopefully john remembers the touching thing. ]

[windeity]

[He doesn't say anything in response since he's a little busy sitting up a bit to meet him for that kiss.He doesn't touch him yet but he does immediately dive in, his own mouth firm yet pliant against Dave's to draw out said-kiss.]

[parodeity]

[ apparently sitting up isn't allowed because dave presses john back down but he doesn't pull away at least?

their poor cat is probably watching all this bemused but moving on

does dave have an actual plan here maybe but it's dave so the plan might be dumb as fuck ]

[windeity]

[And back down he goes, laying on the floor with Dave on him and his hands kind of sprawled on the ground so he doesn't touch him. He's moving his mouth a little more frantically in that case but not enough to border desperation or the like. Their cat gets to deal with them and John idly wonders what Dave's planning but decides not to ask and simply go with this until he gets a better idea.]

[parodeity]

[ what dave is planning: fuck if he knows honestly he has a vague idea but is just doing...whatever. he pulls back again and focuses in on john, eyes half-lidded and lazy and he brushes a kiss to john's cheek before casually letting his weight actually rest on john, pressing his face into john's shoulder again and just breathing. ]

You're welcome to try to plead your case.

[windeity]

[Dave's still skinnier than he is so he doesn't object, hands still not touching him even with Dave sprawled out and his face in his shoulder. Instead, he focuses and his voice is a little lower than usual when he speaks up.]

I can do better...listen and make you feel good if you let me touch you. [What is he thinking, we just don't know.]

[parodeity]

[ yeah dave has zero idea what the fuck john is thinking, as per usual, but he's mildly curious. ] Not the most eloquent attempt but I'll allow it.

[ just bc he's curious wtf john is on about ]

[windeity]

Like you've ever liked me for my eloquence. [And with that his hands move...

...right back into a back massage like none of the last ten minutes happened.]

[parodeity]

Maybe I want eloquence? [ but okay cool. dave considers this and then he kisses john's neck instead of just lying there uselessly.

which is new but whatever. ]

[windeity]

[That also feels nice, so he'll tilt his head a little to give Dave some more room while his hands continue.]

I have never been a wordsmith. You know this. What even counts as eloquence when it comes to stuff like this?

[parodeity]

[ he just. sighs. against john's neck. ] That isn't even true, you know. You've said some things that were...right.

[ it's unclear if he means in their other life or this one. but he's thinking about that stupid letter again. ]

Just say whatever, idiot. Eighty percent of the time you accidentally say the right words. [ dave settles for that instead of explaining and goes back to what he was doing. why he doesn't just make out with his boyfriend instead of sucking on his neck is like unclear but if john doesn't want a mark he should dislodge dave sooner rather than later. ]

[windeity]

The key word here is accidentally. [He's not even thinking about it so he doesn't push Dave from his neck. He's more focused on working his hands over his spine and his muscles again.]

You are my favorite person in the world. Multiple worlds and multiple lifetimes. Sometimes I think about it. You and I still found each other after everything and I think my life only started making sense again when I came here. I don't want to let you go if I do not have to.

[parodeity]

[ THERE. IT'S BULLSHIT LIKE THAT. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SOMEONE SAYS SOMETHING THAT STUPIDLY SWEET.

like, if you are dave strider you get too flustered to function and bite your boyfriend's neck like that's going to help but like

what do normal people do???? say words??????? ]

[windeity]

--ow, hey! [But it's a hint of laugher because it didn't really hurt, it was more a reaction of surprise. He turns just a little to cast a gaze back to Dave.] I told you, not a words dude.

[parodeity]

[ no fuck off dave isn't available, direct all calls elsewhere? can't look at him if he just hides his face in the crook of john's neck. ] And I told you that you were wrong.
