[parodeity]

So you...think you took out remembering your dad on people here?

[windeity]

I took out stupid shit on people, yes. I flipped out on Nat when I remembered about my dad and I jerked you around for a while and both of those sucked.

[parodeity]

John. Listen to me for a second, will you? [ his thumbs trace idly over john's cheeks, soothing. ] Yeah, that sucked. But for the part about me, you...you were really worth the wait. And the jerking around. It's okay.

[windeity]

[He's holding his breath but he's also leaning into Dave's touch.]

...you know you're always worth waiting for too, don't you? I made my decision about you even knowing that you weren't telling me everything and that there were problems you didn't want to address yet.

[parodeity]

I'll tell you someday. Really. And...thank you for...I don't know. Waiting?

[windeity]

I know you will. I've never really doubted that. [Shrug.] Don't thank me for that. You waited for me, so it's my turn and I'm okay with that.

[parodeity]

Sometimes I think you wouldn't mind if someday never came.

[windeity]

[He doesn't know how to respond exactly so...shrug.]

Would you still be with me if someday never came?

[parodeity]

Kinda in this for however long you'll let me be, darlin'.

[windeity]

Then...yeah. Even if someday never came I would be fine. I think as long as you're with me I'll be fine no matter what.

[parodeity]

Why do you say such sappy shit. [ why does it always make him weak in the knees. ]

[windeity]

Would you prefer that I lie to you instead?

[parodeity]

No. Say more nice shit.

[windeity]

[Needy cat..but it's sweet and he doesn't actually care about exerting the effort.] We've been dating for a few months now and every time you grin you still make my heart freak out. [So okay, not nice but like ???] And I like seeing the world through your eyes so your photography's my favorite. And I want to be around for more important things like holidays and stuff and lately I've actually been really proud to claim you as mine. You're kind of incredible.

[parodeity]

[ what the fuck. dave laughs and shoves john back and onto his back again. ]

Yours, huh.

[windeity]

[Look don't ask for sappy things if you don't want them, Strider. He's easily shifting onto his back though and pulling Dave with him, hands wrapping around the small of Dave's back to trap him there.]

Yeah. Problem?

[parodeity]

Not remotely. [ he's supposed to be thinking about the marks maybe but instead he's leaning down to kiss john again so this is going excellently. at least dave's happy even if they keep getting majorly sidetracked. ]

[windeity]

[They're A+ at distracting themselves because John would have to be a huge idiot to say no? So he's cool with kissing back even if he keeps an eye open briefly to check on Dave's marks. He's hoping maybe they're a little less blatant, but at the same time it's important Dave's happy.

Maybe a conflict of interest but also whatever.]

[parodeity]

[ they're so faint they're barely there but still existent. dave should check john's marks but instead he's parting his lips and kind of laughing into the kiss again. it's stupid but it's happening. ]

[windeity]

[It's progress and there's relief and he's relaxed because it's still kind of his favorite sound in the world? He's 100% aware he's a sappy idiot for his best friend but like. Whatever x2, everybody can fuck off and let them be happy together. He doesn't do anything beyond encourage it given he's also parting his lips and slipping his tongue over Dave's bottom lip instead to deepen said-kiss. He's just pleased with the benefits of having their own house tbh.]

[parodeity]

[ is there any progress whatsoever on john's marks...

the benefits of their own house are that dave thinks nothing of deepening the kiss. john adds tongue and you know what dave is incredibly down with that. he's running his hands up john's sides again, touching just to touch, and he thinks he could probably waste a day like this. multiple days. ]

[windeity]

[They're mostly gone sans a small mark on his cheek which is probably a good sign. They'd been fading through most of the conversation and he's derailed by the idea of making out with his boyfriend, so he's not too fussed irregardless. He doesn't mind the touch, simply shifting to try and press up into Dave's hands as his own hands run up his spine to the back of Dave's head, holding him there for a kiss.

At least the couch is comfortable. Moreso than Dave's desk chair. The kiss is kept kind of slow and pliant rather than the desperate kissing that sometimes occurs but he doesn't see a reason to rush them at the moment.]

[parodeity]

[ slow and pliant works for dave. he shifts on top of john to get more comfortable, less holding himself up and more draping like a cat. it's sort of weirdly nice to know there's zero chance of anyone walking in on them or coming to inspect their room or whatever. there's nowhere else he has to be for the rest of the day and he can justify losing himself in making out with john.

they should maybe eat someday or something but dave drags his nails down john's side instead, just because. ]

[windeity]

[John accepted he's dating a cat ages ago, so the nails down his side only ends in a pleased noise and a slight shiver while his fingers slip into Dave's hair. A relaxed Dave is a novelty and he can't say he isn't eating this up. They have things to do and he needs to focus on getting rid of Dave's marks entirely, but if they keep this up maybe they can talk more and make things better.

Like. As it is though he's still eighteen almost nineteen and his boyfriend's really hot and they're alone, so his priorities are pretty damn skewed. He knows the rules by now anyway. Keep his hands out of Dave's shirt, don't make out in the bed, and yeah maybe those are the only important ones. His fingers tap out a beat on Dave's neck, equally slow and focused while he conveniently forgets if they have any other plans today.]

[parodeity]

[ dave's boyfriend is pretty hot too. or he thinks so. he hums against john's mouth and his fingers tap out an answering beat on john's hip almost absently and he just flat out forgets about the marks or dinner. as far as dave is concerned there isn't anything more important than warm hands and john's mouth and john's bare skin.

he's eighteen. maybe he doesn't have to worry about the weight of the world for at least a little while. ]
