Probably no more than society's going to shun me for kidnapping both of our daughters in the first place. [Passenger's seat is a go.] Head east toward Apprassage, I'll navigate you from there.

[parodeity]

[ dave casually follows directions. ] I think you maybe have a problem with kidnapping. As in, you seem to have done it a lot?

[windeity]

That is entirely possible since I also just kidnapped you. [Just saying.]

[parodeity]

It's not kidnapping if I come of my own free will?

[windeity]

This is true! Why do you trust me so much? I could be taking you somewhere terrible, like the snow.

[parodeity]

Because I'm ridiculously in love with you and you like sleeping in bed with me instead of on the couch?

[windeity]

That's absolutely true, but it's winter and I'm pretty sure your desire to leech my bodyheat is greater than wanting to ban me to the couch for potential snow shenanigans.

[parodeity]

So where are we off to? Planetarium? [ he doesn't expect an answer. ]

[windeity]

[There's a short pause because what the fuck, Dave. That's actually exactly where they're going.] What makes you say that?

[parodeity]

Same reason I guessed about christmas lights last year, babe. I know you?

[windeity]

[He's pouting just slightly, but:] You can't guess what we're doing though so I still have that.

[parodeity]

[ unfair?? ] Obviously you're proposing to me. [ he does not actually believe that he's just teasing. ]

[windeity]

Please. If I was proposing right now I would not be taking you to the planetarium. It would be fancier than that?

[parodeity]

Fancier than that how? [ a raised eyebrow. ]

[windeity]

You are not tricking me into telling you how I would propose to you. That's cheating?

[parodeity]

How so? If I'm the one who has to propose its only fair I know what you would've done?

[windeity]

How do you know you're gonna be the one who's going to propose? I might be planning on doing it very soon for all you know.

[parodeity]

I'd ask why you enjoy teasing me but like, it's not like I don't tease you all the time. [ he's pulling in at the planetarium. ] Is this a race now?

[windeity]

[There's a thoughtful hum as he shrugs. Once Dave parks, he's getting out of the car and also heading over to try and open the driver's side door for Dave anyway.] I'm not sure yet. I do not think I would call it a race, but I am definitely keeping an eye on the clock now.

[parodeity]

Because your biological clock is ticking? [ dave lets john get the door. ]

[windeity]

Yes, that's exactly it. Think of our future children, Dave. [He rolls his eyes and pulls on Dave's hand to hold it and lead him forward, also stealing the keys back to lock the car. They seem to be going to the side of the building instead of the front, so that's a little weird.] We're flying, by the way. Not that far though.

[parodeity]

You don't even know if I want kids, John. [ like he does at some point way in the future but hey ] Is this where I start rapping A Whole New World?

[windeity]

How do you even turn that kind of song into a rap? I am just curious. [He leaves the subject of kids alone because that's maybe a little too serious for him right now. (He does want them though, someday, he thinks.)]

[parodeity]

[ im not writing it but he lights up and launches into the rap so congrats ]

[windeity]

[I bet I could find someone doing it on youtube and that fills me with fear. But predictably John just starts laughing? Why is Dave like this and why does he love this doofus?]

Okay, okay, point taken, Princess. [Dave is absolutely Princess Jasmine in this scenario, and John gestures upward to where there's a window near the top of the building that's cracked open.] Your date's up there.
