whatd english do
did he turn up the heat again
spill

you know
just in case this is a thing i maybe do
i dont want this to turn out like the planetarium date
[ on the 1st he suggested jade go to the planetarium with him the weekend before valnetine's! then he proceeded to panic and say they could take rose when she asked if anyone else was coming. dave is literally his own worst enemy. ]

[ if there's one thing jade can't resist, despite the fact they've spent, what, the majority of the last few days together? it's coming over in the middle of the night, uninvited, without a text to announce her arrival, and no indication that she was even thinking to show up outside dave's window. that's not surprising, though, because jade is a lot like a dog; she wanders and visits at her own pace, always looking to enjoy herself because that's just what she wants to do.
so there's the customary pebble throwing. jade's careful not to throw too hard, because she definitely did once. hopefully dave's window has been repaired since. despite the mishap, there's always the sound of tiny rocks hitting a window to announce her arrival. she only grabs the minivan if it's incredibly late and she wants to go somewhere far, so dave probably knows if he needs to grab a sweater or not. tonight, though, there's no sound of a car pulling up. no car door slamming. just pebbles, and then the opening chords of superbass. jade flubs a line and giggles.
god, dave's entire family puts up with so much. ]

[ she's luck dave was up? mostly because he was already texting, like, dirk, and maybe working on a Project of a certain variety, but the pebbles on his window and the chords to superbass are enough for dave to come over to the window and pull it open.
he leans out, crossing his arms on the frame, and raises an eyebrow. ]
Hey, Romeo. Snuck out again?
[ look. she can be juliet when she's not the one starting a balcony scene? ]

[ Did Dave want a text message at five in the morning? Of course, he does. Here he is. ]
As requested, Yuri Plisetsky's date for tomorrow's event is Iris Amicitia. Please tell him to be gentle.

[--INTO ACTION 30 MINUTES LATER as stated. When he moseys up to the bench Dave's sitting at, he has a nicely sized cup in hand along with a little brown bag.]
Hey, scoot over.
Hey, scoot over.
[ dave will promptly scoot over. he looks a little tired today? probably because he woke up at like. 2am. and the whole dying memory meant he did not really go back to sleep but!! whatever!!!! someday he will wear shades 24/7 again and it will be impossible to tell. for now enjoy his hazel eyes. ]
How's your day gone so far, dude?
How's your day gone so far, dude?
[It's February 14th! Early enough before the blind dates have started, Anya was busy.
When Dave arrives at school, his gift will be waiting at his desk. He'll find a little pouch filled with heart-shaped macarons, about 6 or 7. There's a neat little card written in Anya's neat and short hand-writing:]
Happy Valentine's Day!
Please know that I adore you too.
- Anya ♡
[The macarons have their own little messages instead of the classic Sweetheart Conversations, customized based on whoever Anya's giving them to. This batch reads:]
GOOD JOB
FRIEND
CONGRATS
LOVE
[And then just one more that she couldn't help herself:]

[ left in dave's room at some point during the day is a pack of dave's favorite candy, a cutesy card, and a book titled HOW TO WOO THE GIRL. the book is obviously handmade with tips of varying usefulness. stuck to the cover is a post-note reading:
not that u need this anymore lmao ;)
nothing is signed but who else would do this except an absurd big sister. ]

[ it has dawned on jade that maaaaybe the usual good morning text can be put aside for something else in the spirit of the holiday?? as such, in the morning, dave's phone will buzz with 3 texts from jade ]
hey man! best of luck today.
before your shift ends, don't forget to talk to me. I have something for you and the other employees.
[When Dave arrives to work, there will be a package waiting for him. Inside that package is the world's most efficent keyboard.
There will also be his usual paycheck, along with a $100 dollar bonus check in preperation for all the hard work for Valentines Day and he also gets this nifty pin.]

[anya's the worst at making decisions. give her all the time in the world and she will still be floundering which is why probably at ridiculous o'clock, she's sending dave this text
sorry]
dave you know how I don't like to audition for anything
or generally put myself out there I suppose
do you think that I could change my mind?
it's a little scary or maybe a lot of scary but I had a dream
and I know it's silly to be chasing a feeling that I only had in a dream but
I want to try?

with a picture
of a shoe ]

[ jade does the unthinkable and goes back on her swear to not sneak into dave's room anymore.
it's not unprompted unlike before, of course, because that was a very serious swear. she doesn't want to give anyone the wrong impression (namely, her mother and father don't need to think their teenage daughter is sneaking out to spend the night in her boyfriend's bedroom so much as just going over to play a video game or watch a movie or color inside the lines of a lisa frank coloring book, as is the norm for them) so it was immediately put into place. tonight, though - she can't take it anymore. it's not like she hasn't lived through shoddy recollections of the memory at least once a week since it'd hit her. this is different; it's there. it's real. anyone can watch it.
it's a video, not a paper or a text. unfortunately, it's a high definition recollection in parts that seem near incomprehensible to people who can't figure it out but jade does and this planet is definitely god's forgotten animal crossing save if there's someone mean enough out there to make the one thing she was determined to never talk about with dave, ever, so easy to access.
her phone keeps going off with the notification and she dreams about it more vividly than usual, a near perfect piece by piece reconstruction of a corpse and a kiss. it'd be a good re-enactment of romeo and juliet if romeo hadn't died via the bleeding holes in his chest so that juliet could have died with thanks to the remaining poison on his lips. god's not a nice man to her, probably.
this time, the tell-tale plink, plink of pebbles at the window is urgent and not even seconds later there's a text: pelase open up, typo and all. then jade cannot wait that long (she isn't waiting at all because she's scared and tired) because the last image she has in her mind is dave's dead body in her arms, so she slips her fingers under the window and clings to the windowsill for dear life. even if it's near impossible to pull off, she is trying her hardest at pushing that window up herself from this position, and if she falls and breaks her arm again it's fine as long as she can see dave's alive. it's fine, it's fine. it's worth it. her arm is absolutely worth knowing dave is okay. she would give up so many things if it meant dave was okay and just getting out of bed still because she realizes it is damn late and if there's any luck in the world, then he's just sleeping.
(she can't stop thinking that his room is half packed away and covered in a layer of dust because he's not there anymore)
please be alive. "jade wolf watched dave strider die" has been blinking on her phone for hours now. ]

[ dave has had similar dreams and similar notifications. his secret is more "jade wolf killed dave strider" but holy shit does he not want anyone to know that. at the very least dave had a way to stop his own notification: dirk exists, and dave has told him everything bar nothing so far. that might start to slowly change, but so far it hasn't. so far dirk is still the big brother who can fix everything and anything, the guy who makes the world make sense again.
the pebbles wake him up and he ignores the text because of it, immediately going over towards the window, opening it up.
and jade's trying to climb up too soon and dave's eyes, tired with sleep and glinting red in the dark, widen. ]
Hey, [ he reaches down to grip her arms, help her in. ] Hey, Jade, what's wrong?
[ because something is wrong. He's known her nearly a decade now and this isn't jade bored or sneaking off or messing around. something's wrong, and he doesn't know what, but he wants more than anything to fix it. ]

( Strange. Haven't people been talking about getting these? You'll find a delivery from Retrospec at your home, or at some place you often frequent. Thank you, says Retrospec. For all you do.
Inside the box there is a single feline plushie. Tied around its neck is a bit of ribbon with a note: ♥ From Yuri's Angels. There is nothing else. The box from Retrospec, the plush kitty, and that note.
Congratulations. You are the lucky mistaken recipient of a Yuri's Angel Cat Plush. What a wonderful day this must be!!! )
