[parodeity]

I prefer we keep certain shit outside of the bedroom. [ a shrug. ]

[windeity]

Okay. [He doesn't...know what he's talking about but he lets it slide. He leads Dave to the couch though and pulls him down, promptly shifting enough to allow Dave to lean into him.]

Movie? Silence? Pillow talk without the actual pillows?

[parodeity]

What are the movie and pillow talk options? [ but yeah he'll lean into john. ]

[windeity]

Something lowkey to watch and just talking about how glad I am that the house is ready and I get to sleep in an even better bed with you tonight? Or whatever. I am not sure what pillow talk would include in this case. [He shifts a little to wrap an arm around Dave's waist to support him.]

[parodeity]

I am not sure how great we would be at pillow talk even if we're both trying? Isn't that supposed to be like idk dreams and fears or honesty according to hollywood so you know real life never mirrors it.

[windeity]

Hollywood is always fake but...I don't know. We could definitely talk about those things. I don't think we ever do since we talk all the time anyway so it seems...dumb, maybe? Well not dumb but you know what I mean.

[parodeity]

Okay. You go first. [ dave that's not how it works ]

[windeity]

Um. What? Like about what, what do I even say?

[parodeity]

I don't know? Pick one of the things we don't talk about or something we do?

[windeity]

[Hm.] How are you feeling? [May as well start there.]

[parodeity]

Wow. You literally just pulled out the atomic warfare question one??? [ so in dave speak...not great ]

[windeity]

Dave. [A little more serious this time.] Don't stall?

[parodeity]

...sick. [ that seems to sum it all up nicely. ] But not really.

[windeity]

[He just pets Dave's hair.]

...it started when we leave Magatus, didn't it.

[parodeity]

You didn't say how you feel.

[windeity]

[Ah.] ...my head hurts pretty bad, but that's not really. [Hmmmmmm.] It's been like this on and off, I think. Stress maybe, I don't know.

[But even so a hand comes up to touch one of Dave's marks, tentatively poking at it.]

[parodeity]

[ he bats john's hand away a little. ] Serious, babe?

[windeity]

I am serious. My head hurts, you feel like you have a fever, and I think all of this started a few days ago when we got back. Yes or no?

[parodeity]

...Yeah. I kinda don't want to go back but I'm starting to feel like we might have to consider it.

[windeity]

That's seven hours one way. What if...I don't know, what if there's something else we're missing here? I thought it would go away when we left but obviously it didn't. It just stopped glowing so much. So maybe it's not necessarily tied to that place?

[parodeity]

Like what happened when it started?

[windeity]

[...] Do you want to go back and listen to those voices again?

[parodeity]

Not really. [ they weren't saying anything he didn't know. ] But maybe we're supposed to.

[windeity]

Why? [He doesn't like that plan.] We don't know that they won't just repeat themselves all over again, so what would be the point? If we already know what they're saying and everything we could just stay here.

[parodeity]

Because they're getting worse? Look, we can ignore that and pretend we never brought it up but it's kind of not...great?
