I'm breathing! I'm definitely breathing. [But there's a deep breath anyway for the reminder.] ...I think I've mentioned before I do not mind whatever baggage you have. You think we're ever going to learn to tame them?

[parodeity]

I think you will, yeah. [ he has no fuckin clue about himself but he is learning to live around it ]

[windeity]

Do you want to learn to tame yours? [Curious. He's not forcing it either way though.]

[parodeity]

That's not if. [ but he declines to explain, instead leaning forward to kiss john as a distraction ]

[windeity]

[He doesn't know how to respond but he lets himself be kissed anyway, pulling back just a little to look at him.]

...have I mentioned I love you lately?

[parodeity]

[ a quirk of his lips upwards. ] ...pretty much daily, babe.

[windeity]

Okay, well...I love you. A lot. And since this house is ours I want to move in.

[parodeity]

As soon as you want. [ it's an easy promise to make. ] I'm only attached to the cramped college dorm 'cause you're in it, dumbass.

[windeity]

Then let's spread out and make this place our own. We can bring Mewpac by later and make sure she likes it and then...that's it, I guess. I don't think I have to do anything different since this just showed up in my name.

[parodeity]

Umm. [ a pause. ] I take it back real briefly. Can we like, get a bed that ain't your childhood one first off? I mean, I'll sleep on it and it's not like I mind being jammed in with you, but also we literally just solved that whole "this bed was made for one person" problem.

[windeity]

[A light snort.] Yeah. We can definitely bigger bed. A queen maybe? Would that be big enough?

[parodeity]

Yep. You know Mewpac's gonna take up, like, inexplicably half of that, right? I think she likes it when we get real close because it leaves her a ridiculously large amount of bed in which to sprawl. She doesn't need that much bed, and yet.

[windeity]

She's not even kitten-sized anymore so that makes it even worse. But at the same time she's so cute so how can you even say no to her? [He laughs a little.] To be fair to the cat, I also like when we're really close. She just happens to benefit from it.

[parodeity]

Sooo. This weekend? [ for moving in, he means. ] An iconic use of a Saturday?

[windeity]

Unless we do it early and spend this weekend taking a celebratory field trip. Up to you how our time is spent during spring break.

[parodeity]

This weekend. Then we can like, spend spring break fucking around moreso and maybe spend the weekend staying in? In a house. Our house. The house.

[ or like the saturday staying in it's just a novel concept to do so in a house ]

[windeity]

Oh. Yeah...that sounds good to me. I like that plan a lot.

[parodeity]

[ the corner of dave's mouth ticks up in one of his little almost smiles. ] I'll handle breakfast if you make dinner when we do.

[windeity]

Any requests? With a full kitchen I can make you anything you want within reason. [...] That was a "yes" by the way. In case that was not clear.

[parodeity]

[ dave pauses for a minute, absently tapping his fingers against john's jawline because he never actually moved his hands away. his default answer is "surprise me" but john tends to like it when he asks for shit so dave actually thinks about it.

it takes him a little bit but. ]

Can you make pizza?

[windeity]

[Without really meaning to he leans into Dave's hand and gives him the most fond look possible.]

I think so, yeah. I can probably figure out the dough for the crust and if I fuck up they sell premade crusts anyway.

[parodeity]

If you fuck it up I'll eat it anyway?

[windeity]

Extra pepperoni and cheese? The nice part is the sheer amount of space. I am pretty sure Dad cooked in this kitchen a lot.

[parodeity]

We need a stool unless you don't care if I hang out on the counter. [ is he going to help with the cooking at all...maybe. ]

[windeity]

[Thanks cat.]

Even if we had a stool I am pretty sure you'd end up on the counter anyway. [Just saying.]
