[He doesn't say much but he grins, and they're both just watching this chef cook their dinner even while John refuses to drop Dave's hand. There are a few comments here and there and the table doesn't exactly light on fire, but it smells delicious and it's something worth watching.

Eventually, a plate of steak, rice, and noodles is served to them with two side salads and ginger dressing. There's also two sets of utensils (both forks and chopsticks.)]

...looks good, doesn't it?

[parodeity]

Yep. I need this back. [ his hand, although he squeezes john's hand briefly before he lets go. ] You're kind of amazing.

[windeity]

Because I picked a good dinner? [He's fine with that and he's reaching for chopsticks to work on his meal.]

[parodeity]

You're easy to eat out with. [ he finds it helpful when john just orders when dave's dragging his heels on deciding tbh ]

[windeity]

That is...maybe the weirdest compliment I've ever received. Thanks? [He's just laughing though, it's fine.]

...so hey. Are we. Like. The kind of people who do presents for anniversaries? Did we talk about this?

[parodeity]

We didn't talk about it. Do you wanna be?

[windeity]

I kind of already have stuff for you so I guess so? I just wasn't sure if you'd be okay with that.

[parodeity]

I kind of already have stuff for you too. So.

[windeity]

So that answers that question. [A snort.] We're really good at this.

[parodeity]

Well. I wasn't even gonna tell you about the anniversary.

[windeity]

Yeah, why not? That is an important thing.

[parodeity]

I cared more about spending the time with you than you knowin' why.

[windeity]

That's really sweet but also I would have kicked your ass and then my own ass if I missed our anniversary. I am just saying.

[parodeity]

I mean, we have been makin' a habit of missing special couple things this year so...

[windeity]

If you mean Valentine's Day I wouldn't exactly say that was our fault?

[parodeity]

June 8th was national best friends day.

[windeity]

Wait is that a real thing?

[parodeity]

Yes, but I'm obviously just teasing you. Pretty much any day with you is worth some kinda celebration.

[windeity]

[A more startled laugh, but it's happy all the same.] That's...wow. [He looks at him curiously.] And you wonder why I want to spend the rest of eternity with you.

[parodeity]

I figure it's because I'm the hottest blond you know.

[windeity]

That's a bonus, but not quite. Everything about you is pretty much everything I want. That's all.

[parodeity]

...well. Hopefully you don't wonder why I'm fixated on you.

[windeity]

I do sometimes, but ultimately I don't think it matters because you love me and that's the important part.

[parodeity]

You've always made me feel more okay than anyone else.

[windeity]

I hope that continues to be a thing. I like when you talk to me about things.
