[ rolling over, one hand to her forehead and the most completely done tone you can imagine: ] Yes, I totally smooched your corpse. That is kind of something that I told you already??
Um... Well. ...There was a lot of blood? But it was a fresh corpse, Dave.
[ which is to say that it didn't feel like she imagines a dead body to? which jade actually hopes she never finds out now holy shit. her dad works homicide but they're over the whole "casual dinner talk about work" thing at this point, no one likes to eat meatball subs and talk about dead things
...dave would do this. this is why bigby lowkey likes dave. ]
[ it is infinitely easier to hug it out than it is to have a serious and long conversation about trust that likely both of them will be awful at later on.
it's a good thing he's just going back to bed in a bit because once he's in jade's arms, she raises a hand to push his bangs out of the way and place a kiss there. ]
First Romeo and now you are calling me Prince Charming... I am starting to think you like being swept off your feet!!
[ she's joking around now, there's that. but: ] I just want to say that... [ ....never mind, she's chickening out now; she's gotta come up with something else quick, SHIT SHIT SHIT ] I have been avoiding kissing you on the mouth but now that's off because I'm not scared to do it anymore and you still owe me on teaching me to do it better.
[ yes nailed it that's not embarrassing and completely not what she wanted to say ]
Later. Like, not super late on a night where your parents don't know where you are?
[ this is AN OBJECTION HE HAD BEFORE...sorry jade but his ma would kill him and so would your parents, and also, he's a good kid. but he will like tilt her chin up for one brief, chaste kiss before offering to see her home and PRESUMABLY THAT HAPPENS i've got too many tabs open and > the aforementioned objections. ]

I knew I was going to see you again when I, um. Did the thing. [ the kiss thing. ] Sleeping Beauty?
[ it's a suggestion, but she feels silly making it. (which just kind of makes jade like it more, actually.) ]

[ a pause. ]

[ he's trying to distract her, a little bit.

So... you want to talk about it? [ awkward?? jade was projecting some weird old fashioned romance onto that.
what dave doesn't know about how incredibly dork jade is wont hurt him ] I don't know if there's a lot to talk about with it? I just did it.

It is pretty gross but if Sleeping Beauty's right then you owe me for bringing you back to life.
[ jade opens her arms up, gesturing for him to get in with her. for a hug. probably. ] Come heeeeeeeere.
[ ok, as demanding as that was and as annoyed as her expression is, she's only teasing. ]
