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.

[parodeity]

[ probably for the best since dave keeps doing it. ] I think it's starting. You know, I like meteors in the context of us better than the whole y'know.

[windeity]

Than the whole "the world is ending" thing? Me too. [He shifts to rest on Dave's arm and look at the sky. ] Do people wish on meteors or just stars?

[parodeity]

I wished on 'em last time. [ probably something sappy since he doesn't share... ] What d'you want to wish for?

[windeity]

Not sure yet. I was just wondering. Maybe...people?

[parodeity]

The girls? [ like. yeah. ]

[windeity]

[...] I saw her. [Jade.] When things were weird and people were showing up, like Vic. I saw Jade and then she disappeared.

[parodeity]

[ ah. dave shifts to kiss the top of john's head. ] I saw you once or twice before we met.

[windeity]

Did we have conversations, too? How'd that happen?

[parodeity]

Nah. I would've been - well, you saw. That dream, and how I acted after.

[windeity]

...yeah. I remember. [He shifts again to burrow his face into the crook of Dave's arm.] Minato saw her, too. It was weird to talk to her when I've never actually seen her before, but I wish we'd had more time to talk.

[parodeity]

...I miss her, too. [ and rose. ] You showed up after months, so...we always have a shot, John.

[windeity]

I know. Waiting just sucks. So if we wish, maybe they'll come back sooner.

[parodeity]

That's the best wish I could think to make. So I'm in.

[windeity]

Sweet. [He opens his mouth to say something, but he suddenly startles and looks at the sky again.] Dude, it's starting!

[parodeity]

Happy official eight months. [ it's half murmured as he settles in to watch. ]

[windeity]

[The only response he gets is John turning his head to tilt up and kiss him. Happy official eight months, Strider. Time to watch meteors streak across the sky.]

[parodeity]

[ hard to watch when john kisses him? but dave will watch the meteor shower in peaceable quiet, and will stick to his offer to sleep outside. ]!
