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.

[windeity]

[A hand leaves Dave's back to run up and pet his hair instead.] So that was a good thing then, I guess?

[parodeity]

Can't believe I like your idiot ass this much. [ muttered.

after a minute of basically being flustered he'll...

go back to where he bit john and rub his thumb over the area before going back to...apparently he is actively trying to leave a mark. it's punishment.

alternately he's tired and he wants to. ]

[windeity]

Neither can I. [He can still hear that, Dave. Nevertheless his hands are working in soothing, idle motions even when there's a bit of a jump of surprise as Dave bites him again. It's not an overall bad feeling and there's a questioning noise even as he shifts to give Dave more space to work with.

If they want to keep laying on the floor and doing this, that's fine. The floor's kind of gross and not too comfortable, but John's on the bottom and he's fine being a pillow for the time being.

As such, he doesn't say anything. It's just a relaxed sigh through his nose while his hands work over more kinks and knots to loosen them.]

[parodeity]

[ is the floor that gross, john bought a goddamn vacuum and is a nerd. there's a quiet hum against john's throat as he continues with the now awkwardly angled back rub and dave's more or less relaxed on top of his best friend anyway.

he's sleepy and loosening up at least and he traces the probably growing bruise with his tongue and it's likely the slowest and sleepiest hickey ever but whatever. ]

[windeity]

[Gross by John's standards tbh, but it's fine. He's still a teenager and doesn't really care that much, especially given the circumstances. The back rub's a little awkward but he continues, digging in deeper to muscles to get him to unwind and relax. There's a little shiver when Dave's tongue brushes over his neck but he doesn't push him away.

Actually, it's kind of adorable since Dave usually isn't like this.]

Enjoying yourself? [It's a low murmur, but he's pleased all the same.]

[parodeity]

[ john makes his bed like an insane person so his opinion doesn't count.

dave just brushes a last kiss against john's neck before giving up and relaxing entirely, drowsy but not exactly enough to drop off. ]

Sure. Consider yourself half-punished or whatever.

[windeity]

[This just means that John makes their giant bed every morning, I hope Dave appreciates that. There's a little laugh and he makes note to maybe check and see if Dave really left a mark later, but for now he's running slow circles on his back.]

Cool. You want to stay down here?

[parodeity]

You can move us if you want. [ APPARENTLY HE ISN'T HELPING... ]

[windeity]

We can move when you're ready to go to bed or when you get cold. [So yeah he's not helping either. And also...] ...can I kiss you?

[parodeity]

If I get cold you've completely failed your job as a space heater. [ that's apparently john's job, now. ] ...and yes.

[windeity]

Oh so that's what this is, huh? [It's fine. With that said, he's exaggerating his movements to get Dave's blood flowing and keep him warm.] Okay. [He does shift them though, sitting up just a little to kiss him briefly.]

[parodeity]

[ well. dave transfers his arms to loop around john's shoulders for balance instead. ] That's the only reason I'm datin' you, yes. [ OBVIOUSLY FALSE but he kisses back. ]

[windeity]

[He just kind of shakes his head, but he's busy kissing him anyway.] It's cool, I am dating you because you're really hot so we're even. [ALSO false.]

[parodeity]

[ great now dave is just laughing into the kiss?? ]

[windeity]

[Better than nothing. His hand's still running up and down Dave's spine, fingers pressing on tension points even as he grins.]

And what're you laughing about? [Somehow mumbled against Dave's mouth...]

[parodeity]

You were my favorite person back then, too.

[ stop trying to talk 2 him if you want 2 kiss him john because dave will entirely pull back enough to carry a conversation ]

[windeity]

Yeah? [He moves to kiss at his cheeks and his nose instead since that seems to be how this is going.] What about now?

[parodeity]

[ dumbass. dave laughs again though. ] Jury's still out. You're welcome to try to get 'em to deliberate faster.

[ false. ]
