[A bright grin.] Like yeah, obviously. [He pushes over another piece of meat and focuses on the veggies and rice instead.] Retrospec might have fucked up a lot of stuff but this is maybe the one thing they got right. Letting me remember you, I mean.

[parodeity]

[ dave eats whatever is shoved over to him...he's simple. ] You were super late.

[windeity]

To the city? Or to remembering how you and me are supposed to be? [Predictably, he's still feeding him...so that's fine.]

[parodeity]

To both. [ but he's sitting close enough their thighs are pressed together so he's clearly content. ]

[windeity]

What would you have even done with me if I showed up sooner than I did?

[parodeity]

I can think of three times off the top of my head I would've run away to you.

[windeity]

I'm sorry I wasn't here sooner. [His hand's under the table and lightly squeezes Dave's knee.] I would have let you.

[parodeity]

It's okay. I think it worked out better this way.

[windeity]

I think so, too. I probably would have choked this time around, too, if it had been sooner.

[parodeity]

I do at least understand why.

[windeity]

And what did you understand?

[parodeity]

Just the why. You haven't had any noodles.

[windeity]

Smooth segue. [But he's taking his noodles and also giving Dave some of them.] Anyway it doesn't matter. All that matters is the current situation which is you being the best part of me.

[parodeity]

Yeah. [ brief and with a shrug, in the way that says they've run up against one of the things that makes dave second guess himself. he takes the noodles though. ] So how was the rest of your day?

[windeity]

Busy but in a good way? I had a lot of preparations to make. [He picks up some noodles with his chopsticks and holds them to Dave's mouth?] Worth it though.

[parodeity]

...oh my god we're that couple. [ but he takes the bite anyway. maybe he likes being that couple ]

[windeity]

Shut up. [But there's a grin.] I'm allowed to be overly disgusting with you in public.

[parodeity]

You haven't hit tattooing me into your skin at least, there's still hope.

[windeity]

Don't tempt me. Jerk. [But he's going back to twirling his noodles via chopsticks instead.] You would look kind of cool as a tattoo anyway. Or the shades would, at least.

[parodeity]

The gear would look better if you ever went crazy. Nice though my face is.

[windeity]

Is it so crazy to want something permanent like that? Though I guess the breeze would look more like toothpaste and kind of stupid.

[parodeity]

...I mean, I don't think your symbol looks stupid. It's cute.

[windeity]

...cute enough for a tattoo?

[parodeity]

[ he laughs anyway? ] You like that idea that much?

[windeity]

Not necessarily a tattoo but I guess just something that's just ours and only ours? That's what I like.
