[windeity]

Hm? [That is not how dinosaurs work but okay Dave.]

[parodeity]

[ yeah his dinosaur looks like an 80s reject but what can you do?? ]

Love you.

[windeity]

[A somewhat quizzical look but he shifts enough to kiss his forehead.] Love you, too. Your dinosaur has a lot of colors going on suddenly. [...but anyway.] Minato will still take your moment even if it's a little late. I can pretty much guarantee that.

[parodeity]

Yeah. He said he'd take me to a special place and everything. [ dave rainchecked it. he tilts his head to the side, looking at john. ] You, too?

[windeity]

Sounds important. [He lifts his eyebrows.] You're always going to have chances with me, dude. I think that is kind of part of the best bro and boyfriend thing.

[parodeity]

Then I'll consider that a raincheck for someday over the rainbow. Also, that bowl is ridiculously sappy.

[ he loves it :/ ]

[windeity]

I love that movie. Also your face is sappy, shut up. [He's happy with his bowl, let him live.] Are you done or are you going to add stripes next?

[parodeity]

...He could maybe use a plaid shirt, now that you mention it?

[windeity]

Oh my god we're done, leave the dinosaur alone.

[parodeity]

Fiiiiiiiine. Where to next, short stuff?

[windeity]

I am only two inches shorter than you. [But he grins again.] These have to go in the fire to set and we can take them home. I...kind of can plan for something else but I also wouldn't mind just going home and hanging out. Dealer's choice.

[parodeity]

I'm kind of too curious to leave it at that, so I want to see about the "kind of".

[windeity]

As a surprise and then you decide if you want to do it? Or should I give you the full scoop right now?

[parodeity]

Whichever you want, bro. I'll probably do it anyway just 'cause it's you and you're in a good mood, so.

[windeity]

I haven't really been in a bad mood around you since...I don't know, October? [He gestures for him to follow so they can fire their ceramic disasters.] Anyway it is nothing super outstanding. Still kind of dumb and possibly in your wheelhouse because it's dumb.

[parodeity]

Hey?? I could take offense to that. [ he DOESN'T, but he could. also he follows to the firing thing la la la ]

[windeity]

[To the firing thing! Where it's probably not going to take long to do so.]

I'm pretty sure you won't once you see what it is we are actually doing. Or potentially doing. You'll like it though.

[parodeity]

Like, probably? You know my tastes.

[ although this is sounding more and more mysterious and he wonders how Dumb it is gonna be...

why are his tastes dumb ]

[windeity]

I do, which makes so much of this easier.

[He loves Dave's dumb taste some of the time.] Do me a favor and don't change though. It would make dating harder.

[parodeity]

[ a snort of laughter. ] Why, because you'd have to relearn shit or because I'm just that easy to please right now?

[windeity]

Both, obviously. [Not long after their items are pulled out of the fire and the paint's set.] These actually turned out pretty okay.

[parodeity]

Is it stupid I'm actually excited to use them?

[windeity]

Depends. Are you excited because they're ours, or because a dinosaur eating toothbrushes is still hysterical? [Everything gets boxed up and paid for and John leads them back to the car.]

[parodeity]

Can it not be both? [ ...it's mostly the former but the latter is not, like, inconsequential. ]

[windeity]

I don't see why not. I'm not policing your dinosaur usage. [Once they're in the car, he'll start to drive again.]
