[ okay, cool, this is about to get tragically stupid. john's hips roll down and dave freezes up in a moment of confused panic because what the fuck that's new and what the fuck! what the fuck. he didn't actually notice john getting worked up at new year's, because he calls john oblivious but dave's a fucking idiot when it comes to any effect he has on other people, and at eighteen he should have some sort of better reaction to someone doing that and it's john so technically dave doesn't care, but he reacts on automatic anyway: a panicked flustered moment where he kind of shoves john off and. doesn't let go so whatever if john doesn't catch them probably they'll end up on the floor, which is stupid.

assuming john doesn't freak out, dave will kind of glare at him to try to cover for the fact he's a disaster ] Definitely didn't give you permission to move. [ and lean down to kiss him on the lips again, though, too hard.

at least the confused panic was less sheer terror and more what the fuck am i supposed to be doing and what if i do what i'm supposed to be doing wrong?? and other hard to define emotions swirled together. ]

[windeity]

[Considering this isn't the first time today that Dave's shoved at him for doing something John's a little more prepared even as he scrambles to grab the edge of the desk so they don't crash onto the floor. He balances them and he looks at Dave with brief confusion before there's a glare right back. He doesn't get the chance to say anything though since Dave's suddenly kissing him and...

...okay. This is a little okay and he's not really doing much to stop this and instead he's kissing back equally hard like the text never interrupted them in the first place. He picks up on the panic and it worries him a little until he registers that it doesn't make sense given that Dave's kissing him and now suddenly he's under orders not to move and ???

His hands carefully loop over Dave's shoulders and he focuses on the kiss instead, keeping the rest of his body still and just letting Dave figure it out then. He can be patient. Ish.]

[parodeity]

[ can he really.

and look, dave can be panicked and still desperately want to kiss his boyfriend. he doesn't appear to know if he wants to drag john closer again or try to shove him off but since he definitely wants to keep kissing this is? a stupid internal debate? and after a second his left hand slides to the back of john's neck to keep him there - though dave's perfectly well aware he'd lose out in a straight strength contest so it's more a request no matter how firmly he does anything - and his right slides back up john's thigh to his waist, nervous and flustered and not wanting to stop even if he's a little unsure about what john's thinking.

he bites john's lip because he's an asshole, and also, he wants to. ]

[windeity]

[Well. We'll find out. And John will find out what his limits here really are because all of that aside he's at least capable of admitting he's turned on and a little desperate and once again really doesn't feel like leaving for the rest of their assignment. But he's careful and letting Dave's hands move on their own accord. He doesn't pull away when the hand on his neck settles but the hand sliding up his leg and back to his waist gets a high amount of attention as he watches slightly before closing his eyes again.

He's fine. Nervous and flustered and embarrassed but he's fine. There's a pleased hum when Dave bites his lip and his hands remain digging into Dave's shoulders anyway and in his scalp and he can't talk like this so maybe that's for the better. Instead, he allows himself to kiss Dave for a few more moments.

What if he says nothing ever. Maybe they can just keep making out then.]

[parodeity]

[ no because dave didn't intend to kiss john on the mouth forever? he's already shifting again, trailing almost absent-minded kisses across john's jaw and thinking...honestly stupid thoughts. he mutters something against john's neck and it sounds like eyelashes and his mouth keeps moving with some sort of low-voiced murmured commentary as he brushes fleeting open-mouthed kisses to john's neck.

john probably doesn't need to know whatever dave is talking about. ]

[windeity]

[That icon is 100% accurate and strangely the almost-too-intense feelings seem to die down a little while Dave's kissing at his jaw and over his neck and he strains to hear what the fuck Dave's talking about, but no, Dave just mumbles sometimes and there's a little laugh even as he moves with Dave's mouth to make sure he's constantly kissing him.]

Daaaaave...[But he still sounds amused even as his hand lightly bats at Dave's face.] What are you doing you weirdo?

[parodeity]

[ batting at dave's face is a good way to get him to stop kissing you, john, congrats. ]

Thinking about kissing and how weird it is. [ THANKS, DAVE. ] There's like, a million different types.

[windeity]

Maybe there are but you are not doing all of them to me right now and that is a tragedy? Just saying.

[parodeity]

[ he shifts and rubs his nose against john's in a stupid eskimo kiss? there? ]

[windeity]

[...you know of all of the shit they were just doing that's the thing that makes John flush a little because it's stupidly cute.]

...so hey, pop quiz. Do you have any idea how crazy I am for you?

[parodeity]

[ he has more dumb shit? there's half-remembered childhood explanations of butterfly kisses and he remembers thinking they were stupid and laughing when roxy showed him. he flutters his eyelashes over john's cheek and then cracks up. ]

I'm...startin' to get a clue?

[windeity]

[Dave's laughter is contagious and John finds himself laughing and holding on tighter because what the fuck, what is this, why does it feel so good?]

Guess I need to up my game then to make extra-sure.

[parodeity]

I can feel it right now. [ but like. his fingertips slide over john's shoulders. ] ...other times, too.

[ this time it's just a chaste kiss to john's cheek, and an amused smile and half-lidded eyes. ]

[windeity]

[His hands are still in Dave's hair and he allows this to be a thing.]

I count that as a victory.

[parodeity]

I'll work on the rest of the time. [ just nuzzling against john's neck now aimlessly. ] I love you.

[windeity]

[He's okay with that and he's not exactly leaning weight into Dave but he's cozy and content even cramped in this dumb desk chair.]

I love you, too. And you know I'll wait until it's an "all the time" thing.

[parodeity]

What happens then?

[windeity]

Then we're both happier than we've ever been, I guess?

[parodeity]

[ oh.

dave's lips are parted in soundless surprise but after a frozen moment where his heart just hurts with how much he cares about john egbert dave leans forward to kiss him again, slow and soft. ]

[windeity]

[Kissing never gets old so he follows immediately, sliding his lips over Dave's and resting his arms around his neck. Slow is good. He can savor it better this way.]

[parodeity]

[ dave won't push things again until natalie arrives pretty much, although probably they will have things to discuss after she leaves?

either way he's just slid back into almost sleepy kisses so. ]

[windeity]

[They can just kind of cuddle and be content and keep up with lazy kissing until Natalie's about to arrive, John's hands flat and smooth over Dave''s shoulders before he finally pulls away.]

...I should get dressed.

[parodeity]

Probably. You might want somethin' with a collar. [ unless john doesn't care, but.

dave runs his left hand over his own lips, fingertips pressing down for a second, before he shrugs. ]

Then after we wrap it with her, we have the whole night to do whatever.

[windeity]

It's going to look weird if I am wearing a collared shirt in the dorm. Maybe I'll just pull up my t-shirt or something. [But he sighs to himself even when he moves to hug him again.]

I do not have a strong preference what we do after Nat leaves. I just want to be by ourselves. Okay?

[parodeity]

I mean, it's high enough off you'll have to do collars or scarfs or just say "fuck it".

[ SORRY, JOHN. ]

...Sure. There's something else I might wanna do, but we'll see.
