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.

[parodeity]

Who'd he sell you out to? [ that sounds about accurate for minato really. ]

[windeity]

Souji, apparently. Something about piggyback rides. It was weird and very Minato.

[parodeity]

That also sounds very Souji. Not sure they should be allowed to talk?

[windeity]

It sounds like a bad idea. Apparently my opponent in who gave better rides was Clover, too. Have I mentioned you have weird friends?

[parodeity]

They're yours, too. [ dave shifts his attention to john's neck and shoulders. ] You could kick her ass.

[windeity]

I don't want to kick Clover's ass. She's terrifying. [There's a pleased murmur when Dave's hands move though. ]

[parodeity]

Well, you can't be beat at piggyback rides? You are simply the best there is. [ ... ] You were all knotted up.

[windeity]

As long as you and Minato know I am better that is enough for me. [He doesn't know how to reply about his knots so...he just doesn't and he shrugs. ] Obviously I need more frequent massages.

[parodeity]

Ask anytime? [ like, he doesn't care. ] Even if you don't need one.

[windeity]

Yeah, I will. You're better with your hands than I am when it comes to this kind of stuff.
