[parodeity]

Yeah, maybe I do. [ he snags a sandwich. ] Can you blame me?

[windeity]

Now why would I ever blame you for having sex with me? Think about that for a second. [Dave has a sandwich and John's grabbing for a thermos for some soup. Everything's still warm at least. The planets shift below.] But no, I do not.

[parodeity]

Like if I made you late to work? Dunno. ...I'll hit on you more after this awesome date with my boyfriend.

[windeity]

[There's a soft snort but yeah, okay. He's drinking his soup and glancing down below them.] I appreciate that.

The constellations look cool from up here, too.

[parodeity]

I think you've won best space related memory. [ competition isn't stiff. ]

[windeity]

I'll take it. Have I been winning a lot of bests lately?

[parodeity]

You're all of my bests.

[windeity]

And you were trying to say I'm mysteriously smooth? What was that?

[parodeity]

It's just...the truth. You're the best thing in my life. You have been for ages. You know?

[windeity]

[Give him a second to put down his soup, giving him a curious, quiet look.]

...Eren and Elliot are engaged now. Did you know?

[parodeity]

Elliot mentioned it. [ a smal quirked smile. ] I'm not surprised? Forgot how long they've been together but like - it ain't really a secret Eren's basically the epitome of besotted.

[windeity]

They've been together about as long as you and me I think, right? But they've known each other in this life longer. [He lifts an eyebrow.] Also, I am pretty sure you could give Eren a run for his money when it coems to being besotted.

[parodeity]

Like you can talk? [ when does john ever say "no". ]

[windeity]

I can at least admit my faults. [He grins anyway. ] ...I've been thinking about that kind of stuff lately because of it.

[parodeity]

Because of being besotted?

[windeity]

Because of being besotted and also because of just thinking about how much I like being with you.

[parodeity]

...yeah, well. You already knew I was thinking about it. [ because he'd argued...about it... ]

[windeity]

Yeah, I know. That is why I am taking this a lot more seriously since we talked about it and other people are taking that leap. They still said they won't get married until after they graduate either.

[parodeity]

Eggs. Does it matter what they're doin'? [ like he's thrilled maybe that john's considering it seriously, but. ] We can just do us.

[windeity]

...well. I mean. If we are just doing us aren't we kind of already married?

[parodeity]

I mean. I would like to legally be married to you, dumbass. Have you as my family contact, whatever. Merged accounts. A name.

[windeity]

I know, that's sort of what I mean. Isn't that sort of what we have without the legality?

[parodeity]

I mean...yes, we're basically married, but that was mostly always true anyway, wasn't it?

[windeity]

I don't know if we were maybe married when we were thirteen but I sort of get your point. I think I'm just...when it does happen, what do you want out of it? A wedding? Just the legality of it?

[parodeity]

John... [ dave abandons his sandwich to flop on his back. ] Yes? No? I want...

[ ... ]

The legal bullshit, sure. I don't care that much about a wedding if you don't. I'd like to say vows, I guess. It'd make some bills easier maybe but it's just - we don't have to. Like if this is "what's the point" maybe there isn't one? Maybe it's just some kinda societal programming that doesn't matter, because the things I want I can already have. Maybe it's stupid. Probably it is.
