Yeah. [He's pretty excited, too, it's fine. He's also immediately taking Dave's hand.] I think I am getting more nervous about it as it gets closer since I am not finding anything that works with what we want. But it'll be fine. Right now let's just focus on noodles and furries.
You know we're eighteen, right? [ he laces their fingers together immediately and without hesitation. ] Like, I do not actually care if we hit every dumb checklist point we've come up with about where we'd want to live on try...one? One point five, if dorms count? As long as you and Mewpac are there it's, like, whatever.
[He mumbles something that sounds like "almost nineteen" but he leaves it.] I know. I know, it's not that big of a deal but it is important to me, okay? Trust me.
[ thanks dave. he was going to say do the family thing right because in one lifetime his dad had left and in the other john had probably expected to do just that, and that felt...
presumptuous and also too big a statement despite everything else he's ever said to john, so like. ]
Buying a house, or an apartment, or whatever. Adulthood. Etc.
I know you are joking around and stuff but I also really don't want to use your powers for more than we have to. [Like making out on New Year's.] You're stuck with me for a minimum of four years anyway, remember? And if I don't figure out the perfect house by then then that is an even bigger problem.
No, because we're getting blackout drapes. We already talked about this. [He sticks his tongue out but he's laughing anyway as he leads Dave to his car in the student lot on campus.] So...shut up.

Yeah. I like doing permanent things right, so that is why. I knew you'd understand.

We have all the time you need. I mean, you're dating me. That should come with some time-related perks?

[He shakes his head.] We can talk more details about this whenever we find a place. I am just thinking out loud.
