[ dave's a terrible person who actually kind of finds that attractive so this is super unfortunate all around. at least he doesn't focus in immediately on the hand thing or only that - he's actually just examining the pictures in an abstract artist sort of way, curious about how john framed them and the artistic choices that went into the shots.

he's pretty sure the choices boiled down to "dave probably will find this hot". ]

...You totally made me a shrine of you.

[ DAVE WOULD HAVE DONE IT HIMSELF BUT THIS IS HILARIOUS AND THEREFORE BETTER... ]

[windeity]

[Thanks Dave, that's...actually expected and John's a little relieved by that. That's absolutely what the choices boil down to though, and he makes a face.]

Like you wouldn't have done it yourself? [It's definitely mostly black and white shots (the ones of his eyes are in color) in black frames. So here we are.] I tried to remember everything I read about basic photography but some of the shots might be off.

[parodeity]

Dude, no. I mean, yes, maybe, if you were a pro but - it gives them your personality. [ he drapes an arm over john's shoulders. ] And also you actually took pictures for me without me nagging you? ...And apparently maybe jerked off, I can't tell.

[windeity]

I did take pictures, I did not jerk off in your dark room. [But he nuzzles against Dave's cheek even when his voice drops to a lower tone.] Then again, sometimes you're not around and things happen.

[He's 100% just fucking with him but he's having a great time.]

[parodeity]

[ rude. ] I meant the picture where you're lickin' your hand. Or it was just simulating that?

[ john what did you do ]

[windeity]

Not telling. [But there's a kiss to his cheek anyway.] I kind of thought maybe that would be overkill.

[parodeity]

The picture, telling me, or doing it? [ rude! ]

[windeity]

All of the above? I basically gift-wrapped nudes for you and that is really kind of a lot. [He pushed himself out of his comfort zone and then went a little too far and enjoyed himself. It's fine.]

[parodeity]

...So you totally actually did get turned on. [ there's maybe faint amusement but he'll just hug john since he figures john could use it. ] I solemnly promise to never let anyone into this particular closet. And, like. [ hm. ] I don't know, let me now something that's really kind of a lot I could do for you. Besides camping, I've already agreed to like three trips.

[windeity]

[Ignore the fact he's blushing plz and ty. But the hug is nice and he leans into it.]

I promise I will only make you go camping when it's warm as long as no one is ever allowed in this closet then. Deal?

[parodeity]

Deal. [ ... ] We should talk about this more later 'cause it's hot as fuck but also dinner smells great?

[windeity]

Talk dirty to me after dinner then, I don't care. [He kisses Dave's face again though because he can and backs him out of the closet.] Dinner itself should be just about ready and if not I'll improvise.

[parodeity]

If not you're dating a time player.

[ dave can just speed it up or whatever.

he kisses john's dumb face back and then just

yeah he'll walk backwards downstairs probably ]

[windeity]

That's true. [He looks very pleased with him all the same when Dave kisses his stupid face and while Dave walks backwards John's...floating...

...they're both doing well.]

...I was serious about the chicken nuggets by the way because you're you.

[parodeity]

I figured you were because you're you. [ dave sighs finally and lets go to walk normally, but he snags john's hand again. ]

[windeity]

[He takes Dave's hand and he leads him into the kitchen where he's kicking out a chair for him to have a seat. Give him a second to bustle around, grabbing plates and taking things out of ovens and warmers and yeah. It's dinosaur-shaped chicken nuggets, baked mac and cheese, a bottle of champagne and also sparkling apple cider and he leaves the pie in the over but Dave can probably smell it pretty easily.]

I had extra time on my hands today. [He says, as if he didn't take time specifically to do things for Dave.]

[parodeity]

You made sure you didn't work, didn't you. [ he'll take the seat and

okay if john looks over dave is photographing him. is he really surprised??? ] ...not sure how much champagne I want tonight, we've established I'm a lightweight.

[windeity]

I don't have to be a time player to make sure I have time for you. [Shut the fuck up, John. He's busy setting the table and he's also chuckling to himself.] You're an adorable lightweight to be honest, and it's really more just for celebratory purposes. You don't have to drink any of it if you don't--

--[He notices the camera then. And sighs lightly. It's Dave's birthday, so this is allowed. (Like it isn't allowed any other time.)] Want to. But the option is out there.

[parodeity]

[ dave just grins as he takes a shot of john. ] Maybe one glass? If we're still on for tonight I'd rather not be a lightweight. Also fuck you I'm not the adorable one??

[ how many photos of john does he need... ]

[windeity]

You really are though. [He grins for the camera at least.]

...we are still on for tonight though, yes. So take that as you will. One glass is enough, I think, and we can save the rest. [Is that how champagne works? Hell if he knows.]

Give him a second to serve Dave dinner. The nuggets are a specific mix of t-rexes and pterodactyls.]

[parodeity]

[ he will eat a trex first. ] We should marathon Land Before Time sometime? There's like twenty movies or something absurd...

[windeity]

But are the sequels as good as the originals? I think I only saw like the first...two? [That seems right. He's also pouring champagne before he'll finally sit tf down.]

[parodeity]

Is anything? [ ... ] Us not included. I like to think we're pretty good sequels. [ he'll have a sip of champagne to chase down his dinosaur. very elegant. ]

[windeity]

Of course we're good sequels. We're sort of the same as the originals. [Such elegance much class. Not that John's doing much better given he's following suit.] Wait we're not watching the first Land Before Time tonight are we?

[parodeity]

Um... [ like. he likes the movie? but. ] We have all of tomorrow to have marathons.
