I haven't really thought of specific presents if that's what you mean. I think you know my tastes by now though.

[parodeity]

I hope they do a couple skate. [ RANDOMLY. ]

[windeity]

Why do you think I brought you here? [Wry. Dave plz. It's a mirror ball and neon lights and cheesy music and couple skates.]

[parodeity]

Because this is entirely your jam, and you can't tell me otherwise? [ hope john has his skates on because dave does and he's ready to go?? ] And you're pretty much the best boyfriend. In the boyfriend olympics I would be willin' to bet you'd take the gold medal.

[windeity]

[Another laugh. Yeah okay he super can't tell him otherwise. John has his skates and their in tuxes and heading out to the rink.]

You don't understand baseball but you understand how the Olympics work. Consider me swooning. [He holds out a hand.] Ready?

[parodeity]

Well, yeah, because it's like gold-silver-bronze. That's it, right? Or is there some kind of extra trophy?? [ but he slides his hand into john's. ] Ready.

[windeity]

That's how that goes, yeah. [Let's not talk about the Olympics. He pulls on Dave's hand and to the multicolored rink they go. SKATING!!]

[parodeity]

Do you want to have a boyfriend olympics?? [ no what if we combine both activities ]

[windeity]

Who would we even enter in said-boyfriend olympics? [Why the fuck does he humor Dave all the time. Why? At least it's easy to skate in circles and have a stupid conversation.]

[parodeity]

...Ummm. I'm sure there are sports. Made up sports. What are some boyfriend activities, go.

[windeity]

Making out? [No.] Uh. Dates, obviously. Flowers?

[parodeity]

[ ...okay he's kind of. laughing. ] I like how makin' out is literally the first thing out of your mouth. Trying to tell me something?

[ he is laughing at john, yes ]

[windeity]

That we did a lot of boyfriend kind of stuff before we were even dating? [A hipcheck because wow, don't laugh!!] And also I like making out with you or whatever.

[parodeity]

Well. At least we didn't decide to date other people while basically datin', I guess? [ this time around or whatever WHATEVER and dave just hipchecks john back.

his is less effective probably. ]

And yeah maybe I like makin' out with you, too, but somehow I think we'd just end up useless if we tried a scoring system?

[windeity]

Yeah, thanks for that. [He shakes his head and he sort of spins them in a circle.] ...you know this just means I really want to try a scoring system now right?

[parodeity]

If you want to write up a scoring system with points or whatever I will selflessly commit part of a day to testing it out with you.

[windeity]

I do have a whiteboard I'm not really using. I bet we could figure it out and test it on one of our Saturdays. It'd be fun. [And stupid. But fun.]

[parodeity]

But we'd have to decide on a grand prize?

[windeity]

Besides something over-the-top like an all-expenses-paid trip to Disneyland?

[parodeity]

As fun as an amusement park with you would be, maybe somethin' a little easier to do from home, yeah. What would you want if you won the first annual boyfriend olympics?

[windeity]

Hm...[What the fuck would he want?] Camping trip? A day at the beach? Something outside.

[parodeity]

Oh, ew. Yeah, okay, that works. [ things dave wouldn't normally want to do at all... ] Then I want, like, a museum tour day trip or something.

[windeity]

[Exactly. On the other hand John looks a little appalled.] Like...a whole day? [One museum was fine but a whole day?]

[parodeity]

Says the guy who went "let's spend a day in the woods!" The point of a prize is somethin' the other person definitely wouldn't do on a day to day basis, ain't it?

[windeity]

I also said the beach! Those are two options.
