[He pushes at Dave's face.] Stooop, don't be a dick. [But he's laughing too.] It was still okay! And Vriska liked it, I think.

[parodeity]

[ he licks john's hand???? stop ] Okay, I'm not takin' her taste into account as "good films". Or Jake's, apparently? You need to get someone not them to back you up here, dude.

[windeity]

Hey! [He's wiping his hand on Dave's hip using his shirt.] I made Jade watch it and she was actually paying attention? Does that count?

[parodeity]

[ dave just laughs. sorry, john. ] I'm not sure it counts. Like, she could have been watching it in a "so bad that it's entertaining" sort of way?

[windeity]

Shut up, she was watching it because of my birthday and then I realized it was shitty.

[parodeity]

[ he's still kind of laughing. ] Dork. I'd watch it with you for your birthday too, though.

[ or just if john asked. ]

...Hey. Want me to cook you something?

[windeity]

[A soft laugh follows.] I know you would.

...what are you thinking? [He's not hungry, but. He'll listen.]

[parodeity]

A thing I learned to cook for you. [ so. ] It was supposed to be a belated birthday present, but then a bunch of stuff happened.

[windeity]

Stuff always happens. But...yeah dude. I am curious now? You can't just say something like that and then not do it.

[parodeity]

You sure you're prepared to eat it? ...In like half an hour or however long. [ he's not moving off the bed yet though. ]

[windeity]

You make it sound like you are going to poison me instead. [Moving is for chumps.]

[parodeity]

I would never poison you. Then I'd be best friendless. ...you doing better?

[windeity]

...yeah, I think so. [A light smile.] I think it is always going to feel weird, but somehow you always make things better anyway so I'm not that surprised.

[parodeity]

That's what best friends are for. Wanna move or stay here?

[windeity]

...[It'd be weird if he said he wanted to stay, so he pauses for a moment before sitting up and stretching.]

And miss out on whatever you are making? We can always come back here later.

[parodeity]

[ like dave would have cared. as it is he stays put until john moves, at which point dave moves his arm off of john's waist and rolls off the bed and onto his feet. ] I can always make shit whenever, too. This is a bff crisis alert though so you get to call the shots? You gave the bat signal, dude.

[windeity]

Does that make you Batman in this case? [He's up and on his feet, too, nudging Dave so they can head for the kitchen.]

[parodeity]

Damn straight. [ once they're in the kitchen dave will start the process of making those apple tarts ignis made for the family dinner ages back. ] Commissioner?

[windeity]

Definitely. [He settles at the table to watch.] But Commissioner Egbert sounds kinda lame don't you think?

[parodeity]

You always sound a little lame. It's part of your charm. [ he doesn't mean much by it, teasing and deliberately poking fun at john. it's habit born from years of calling one another dumb shit and gently mocking. ]

[windeity]

Gee, thanks a lot. [But he's grinning since it's never a serious remark, ever. As it is he rests his chin on his arms to watch.] Would you still like me even if I was not pretty lame?

[parodeity]

I dunno. [ a flippant answer, a hint of a smile. ] It's kind of a charm point. Who else am I gonna tease about bad movies?

[windeity]

Jake? [He laughs though.] I think his taste might be even worse than mine because he likes everything. I wish we had movies here.

[parodeity]

Nah, Jake's like - we ain't at the teasing level yet and also he super doesn't notice when I do it. [ so he tried... ] Man, right though? Remember when we were kids? I think watching a movie together was like stop one on "what to do if we ever meet up".

[windeity]

We were definitely scheduled for movie marathons and a ton of junk food, and now we do not have either of those? So that sucks. Jake and I are still hoping maybe we can wish for them someday.

[A grin.] This hasn't been so bad though.
