[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. ]

[windeity]

[He thinks about Dave and he thinks about everything that's happened since September and he's trying to pinpoint yet again when, exactly, he decided Dave Strider was the most important person in the universe. It just happened one day and it was just a truth he accepted without question. Dave plays a beat back at him and his other hand idly pets Dave's hair like the cat he truly is.

He realizes, belatedly, that no one else would ever really match him like this. He's open and languid and easily brushing his tongue over Dave's, another quiet noise of pleasure even when Dave's fingers move. He kind of still regrets not knowing how to pass on his aspect so they don't run out of air, but he's going to keep this going for as long as possible.]

[parodeity]

[ an experiment for another day, maybe. for now john can just live without air and dave kisses john until his lungs burn and he has to pull back because he's not getting enough air just breathing through his nose because it's frankly hard to remember air matters while john's right there. he leans into john's touch and maybe whines a little because it's not quite enough.

he kisses john's cheek, his jaw, his temple. it's dumb. ]

I love you. [ it's so dumb. ]

[windeity]

[How exactly do you absorb another person, sometimes John would like to know. As it is, he's busy keeping his hands pretty much wherever he can reach and letting Dave do whatever even if he's laughing a little.]

I love you probably more than you'll ever know. [It's really stupid but you know what, Dave told him to say sappy shit and here we are.]

[parodeity]

False, because I definitely loved you a little in another time. [ well. not like this. ] You make me happy.

[ that part is added almost flippantly as he just kind of smiles stupidly to himself, lips against john's neck. ]

[windeity]

[That. Just renders a tighter squeeze because what the fuck, who gave Dave the license and permission to actually be cute.]

You make me really happy, too. [It's mumbled but equally sincere.] I don't know what I'd do without you. [Friendship-wise, relationship-wise, everything.] I want to keep making both of us happy for as long as you'll let me.

[parodeity]

Getting a little intense there. [ he doesn't mind and he's just teasing. ]

[windeity]

Shut up. [He pinches Dave's hip.] I'm serious! I think about that a lot.

[parodeity]

No, really? Wanting a house hadn't tipped me off. Pinching me ain't a deterrent you know. [ he likes it. ]

[windeity]

[He just pinches him again. Whatever, fine.] I would ask you what is a deterrent but I actually like you on me right now so I won't.

[parodeity]

Tell me what else you like. [ a random request as he shifts again, sitting up more properly and just kind of looking down at john from on top of him. ]

[windeity]

[He does absolutely nothing to sit up.] I like hearing you laugh. And I like how even if you wake up earlier you'll stay in bed with me for a little while. And I like that the cat likes you more than me because it's kind of cute. And I like that you're the only one who plays back at me.

[parodeity]

Plays back at you? [ dave raises an eyebrow. ]

[windeity]

[He taps another beat on Dave's hip and gives him a pointed look.]

[parodeity]

Okay, well. You said you've never really done that to other people, so they haven't had a shot? [ a pause. ] Super not advocating anyone else get a shot, obviously.

[windeity]

You're the only one I've ever thought would maybe understand and the only one I've tried with, yes. That doesn't change the fact that you do it back and that's awesome. [An eyeroll.] I am pretty sure no one else is going to get a shot, dude.

[parodeity]

Good? I like having VIP access to you. [ that sounds weird but whatever ] You should take me on a backstage tour.

[ he can 100% make it weirder ]

[windeity]

What even counts as a backstage tour? You've already seen me with my shirt off and we live together. [He's joking but also he's curious if there's anything beyond Dave being weird.]

[parodeity]

I dunno. Tell me if there's anything you want me to do, I guess?

[windeity]

Be honest with me for a sec. Are you feeling better?

[parodeity]

[ well since he completely fucking forgot about that ] Yeah. You?

[windeity]

Yeah. [He pets Dave's hair even though he's still not sitting up.] I think maybe that really helped. Your marks...[His hand touches Dave's face.] You look good no matter what, obviously, but I like you better when I can see your face clearly.
