In my defense my face really hurt. [And he maybe thought that was a one time thing.] ....I'm trying to get better at letting you do things for me.

[parodeity]

I like doing things for you. I like it when you spoil me too but it ain't any fun if I don't get to do it back.

[windeity]

True. That can be another September thing. Spoiling each other. [A low hiss as dave goes over a knot.] It'll help with balance I think.

[parodeity]

[ dave's hands are firm and steady even when john hisses. he just concentrates on that area more. ] You know I would do pretty much anything for you, right?

[windeity]

Yeah, that is a concept I am working with. I think maybe the fact that it is mutual is something I forgot how to accept.

[parodeity]

Yeah, well. Just...ask. If you ever think of anything you want. [ dumbass, dave for once chooses not to say. he continues kneading john's back. ]

[windeity]

This is nice. [He doesn't mind being spoiled tbh.] Uh. I guess maybe you being big spoon more often would be cool?

[parodeity]

You could've asked for that earlier, I don't mind about switchin' it up.

[windeity]

Some of the shit I want from you is a little boundary-crossing. Or was? I don't know if it is now.

[parodeity]

Tell me and let's find out? [ he mostly sounds amused and curious. ]

[windeity]

I want you to be shirtless more often when we're at home and sleeping? And telling me when you are upset about something when it happens and not later when I can't fix it.

[parodeity]

Only if you keep me warm. [ but johns seen him almost completely sans clothes so whatever. ] For the rest - I try? You have to know I do. Just sometimes it's hard to understand you and I don't know how to ask.

[windeity]

Why is it hard to ask, you think? [He presses up into Dave's hands though, sighing to himself.] I'm always going to keep you warm though, I am pretty sure I have no choice.

[parodeity]

Sometimes you seem so casual about it. Like when you were planning that beach day?

[windeity]

That doesn't mean I don't want to hear if I do something that upsets you dude. You know sometimes I just don't notice.

[parodeity]

Yeah. On bad days I start to wonder if it's on purpose. He used to play mind games, you know?

[windeity]

Yeah...I'd never do that to you on purpose even if I was mad at you for something. That just seems like a huge dick move.

[parodeity]

Yeah. Just - it hurt you'd forget, and I didn't want to...draw attention to the fact you hurt me. I don't know, it was dumb.

[windeity]

I didn't really forget. I promise I would never forget something like that, but I got ahead of myself and thought we'd just be together anyway. So that was dumb, too.

[parodeity]

I know. Like, I do. It was just "oh, John forgot", at the time instead of John let his mouth jump ahead of his mind, you know?

[windeity]

Yeah, I know. I hate to tell you this, but I am always going to do at least one or two dumb things on the regular. But I may not always know they're dumb, so I want us to be comfortable enough to talk about it.

[parodeity]

Were you mad with me? About that.

[windeity]

No. Mad isn't the word I would use...I think I was just unsure of what happened or how to fix it and it made things weird. That's different.

[parodeity]

Minato offered to beat you up for me. [ not for that exactly, for a misunderstanding, but. ] I'm pretty sure that I wouldn't have cared if I didn't love you. Mostly?

[windeity]

Minato also sold me out for a beef bowl. His priorities may be a little biased. But I get it. I get kind of annoyed about stuff because I love you too. That is just something we work on together.
