[Haha no.] Like I play something and you mix it on the spot?

[parodeity]

Kinda yeah? Like...hang out together and yeah. Or I can teach you to mix.

[windeity]

I would be cool with either of those but learning to mix sounds really fun? I've never really touched turntables before.

[parodeity]

I just, like. Want to realtime it.

[windeity]

Then let's do it. It'll be fun! I would really like that.

[parodeity]

Cool. Not today, but like. Someday in the nearish future? [ he's pretty much given up on eating anything further so he closes the carton and will get up to actually go put it in the minifridge. ]

[windeity]

Maybe next Saturday? That can be our thing for the week. [He frowns lightly when Dave stops eating but he doesn't stop him and just continues picking at his food.]

[parodeity]

[ once it's in he goes back to sit by john and just. lean into his side like he sometimes does, letting his cheek rest on john's shoulder. ] Sounds like a date.

[windeity]

[A free arm loops around Dave's shoulders to hold him there.] Sweet. I am excited for that...but this is a really good date, too.

[parodeity]

Let me revel in the fact I can use that phrase literally. [ his eyes drift shut but he's not drowsy or anything. just relaxing. ]

[windeity]

[He doesn't exactly reply. Not verbally, anyway. Instead he just leans over to kiss Dave's forehead.]

[parodeity]

[ rude. it's a sweet gesture that gets a huff of laughter. ] I did use it literally a few times before I was allowed. I just pretended I didn't.

[windeity]

What, date in the literal sense? [He doesn't mind this, moving to lean against the bed and pull Dave closer to hug and watch the stars.] I probably would not have stopped you either.

[parodeity]

You maybe would've back then?

[windeity]

Maybe I would have but I would have maybe considered it a little more, too.

[parodeity]

Oh. [ welp. ] I didn't want to, uh, push you? And I didn't figure I had a snowball's chance in hell anyway until you kissed me.

[windeity]

Guess that makes both of us. [A grin.] I was nervous about it for a long time so like...realistically, yes, not pushing was a good idea. I guess it does not matter too much now that we're together.

[parodeity]

It doesn't, really. As a rule, I wouldn't want any of it changed anyway.

[windeity]

You think the timing on it was right? [A pause.] That is a stupid question to ask you specifically, isn't it?

[parodeity]

Maybe it's a stupid question. But like - [ how to put it? ] ...Maybe the only thing I really actually regret with you is making you think for a second the original song title was remotely accurate. The rest - even the arguments or whatever - I don't. Because it got us to here? So like. Yeah.

[ he's going red. great. ]

So! Yeah.

[windeity]

[...a slow smile.] You're right. It got us to here. And I am really happy with us even with everything. It just means we get to keep improving and have a great story to tell people later. And anyway I think all good relationships start kind of stupidly in the first place. So we are right on target.

[parodeity]

[ ugh!!!! dave turns to slide his arm around john's waist and bury his face in john's shoulder. ] Love you, dumbass.

[windeity]

[A kiss to his hair.] Love you, too.

[And thus they probably sit here for a while being dumb under fake-stars and we can wrap this.]
