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.

[parodeity]

I dunno about that, your hands can work some magic? But I'm happy to do it. Gives me an excuse to touch you also. [ does he need one? no. ]

[windeity]

I cannot massage myself though so this is a good option. [A glance.] The shower should be starting soon shouldn't it?

[parodeity]

A fever minutes. [ dave admits it easily and rolls off of john with a sigh, throwing his arm out for john to use as a pillow if he wants. ]

[windeity]

[He immediately scoots to do so, thanks dave.] Cool. We have the best viewing spot. I think I like meteor showers because it reminds me of when we started dating.

[parodeity]

So many different songs remind me of that. Also lights. And playgrounds. [ ... ] You're impossible to top.

[windeity]

[His eyes close to rest for a few minutes] In terms of what, doing stuff like that? I don't mind.

[parodeity]

I'm gonna out romantic gesture you one of these days. [ not like he doesn't make them but john made an entire Thing ] Just you wait.

[ he curls his other arm around to grip john's hand, thumb pressing lightly over the tattoo on his wrist. ]

[windeity]

[Its been a few months but even now he likes when Dave does that.] I don't know. I think you do a pretty good job on your own. The small things are big things.
