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.

[parodeity]

You're definitely avoiding my earlier question?

[windeity]

Which one? Yeah, I feel better. [That was his answer and he's now trying to think of what he forgot to answer, whoops.]

[parodeity]

The question you answered with the question about whether or not I felt better?

[windeity]

Oh. No, I answered that, too. The thing I wanted was for you to be honest with me about that question. That's all. The only other thing I can think of is letting me make dinner for us if you're hungry and cuddling the shit out of you for the rest of the evening. Preferably in that order.

...along with forgiving yourself a little and keeping in mind how much I genuinely adore you.

[parodeity]

Are you hungry? [ ignoring the forgiving himself bullshit for the important details here ]

[windeity]

[Just a Look...and he taps Dave's forehead. No? Don't ignore that.]

[parodeity]

What? [ LOOK... ]

[windeity]

Now who's ignoring stuff?

[parodeity]

Well, I'm not, like, starving.

[windeity]

That wasn't the part I was talking about and you know it.

[parodeity]

Yeah, well. [ he frowns. ] I'll...try.

[windeity]

That counts. {A kiss to the cheek.] I love you either way.

[parodeity]

If you really love me you'll be shirtless more often.

[ no ]

[windeity]

[Ffs.]

I mean...I could be, I guess. It's our house, who cares? [Why are they dating.]

[parodeity]

[ okay he just. dissolves into laughter. ]

You don't have to be, dude. I mean, I would not say no when we're in bed or making out. Or if you ever lose a bet again and I get to ask you to do something you'll find completely embarrassing or at least ridiculous.
