Okay. [ okay, cool. dave reaches over to take john's hand, like the dumb sappy idiot he is. ] I like you, dude.

[ he just likes saying it still. ]

[windeity]

[He lets dave take his hand but he gives him another small smile. ] I like you, too. And I liked this a lot, so thank you for an awesome first date.

[parodeity]

You know what this means, right? [ hope john doesn't think dave means something profound although he pauses for drama. ] You get to plan the next one.

[windeity]

[Cool well he wasn't expecting it so he sputters in surprise.] What!? I don't know how to plan a date!

[parodeity]

Wow, so you're not willin' to learn for me?? You can't make me pull all the date weight, John, that's unfair misbalanced romantics. [ he's maybe just giving john a hard time out of casual bffship instincts. ]

[windeity]

[What if he just reaches over to push on Dave's face?? Rude.] Shut uppppp. You would pull all the weight if I asked you to anyway, but I won't. That would be bullshit.

[parodeity]

...Okay, yes, I totally would, but I want to see what kinda date plans you come up with?

[windeity]

I will do my best. Can it be whenever?

[parodeity]

Dude, yeah. Ain't like we got specific plans here for the most part. [ dave shifts on the bench, moving to straddle it sideways so he can basically face john. ] So...uh, so. D'you wanna lay down ground rules or somethin'?

[windeity]

Ground rules for, like, dating? [Is he following here?] What kind of ground rules do you think need to be set?

[parodeity]

Well, yeah. And I mean, like. Things you know you're not comfortable with, I guess? Like...I dunno, what kinda rules do you think need to be set? I assume we can like, hold hands?

[ they've been doing that

and also kissing

and sleeping together. ]

[windeity]

...we can hold hands. [He hasn't really thought about this, goddamnit Dave. Uh.] I guess like...kissing is okay but nothing else right now. And everything else is still good.

[parodeity]

Okay, so super same page. [ good to know?? ] Uh, I'm cool with most things but don't cheat on me, especially with clowns? I guess? That would be a really terrible thing to make into a streak.

[windeity]

Okay do you know who I am? A clown is the last person I would ever pick. But like. I don't like cheating? That seems shitty.

[parodeity]

Okay, cool. And I already promised not to kiss anyone else. [ so

that's working ? ]

...I like you.

[windeity]

[He looks pleased by that at least.]

I like you more than you probably believe right now. Thank you for not kissing people.

[parodeity]

[ yeah cool okay that's great dave just kind of. hm. ]

Can you say that part again?

[ LOOK ]

[windeity]

--thank you for not kissing people? [Dave...]

[parodeity]

I'd be annoyed you were trolling me but you're really that dumb. [ john!!! ] The other part.

[windeity]

Hey! [Rude?? ] I like you more than you probably believe I do. I mean it.

[parodeity]

[ cute. dave dips forward and kisses john again, though it's brief and a little awkward. he just. wants to. ]

[windeity]

[A bit of a sputtered, surprised noise but he allows it anyway. He pulls back shortly after though.]

So...I guess that was a good thing.

[parodeity]

It's...nice to hear. [ john pulls back and dave straightens up, though his expression is soft rather than tense. ] It's something I've wanted to hear for a while now.

[windeity]

Probably longer than you have actually told me? [Just curious. He doesn't seem bothered by that either and he gives Dave a wide-eyed look. It's fine. He's still just...processing everything. It's nice to think about, at least.]

[parodeity]

Probably longer than I actually knew. [ he shrugs a little, not quite fidgeting but looking like he might want to. ] So. I figure you have some ideas for the song?

[ feedback, he means. reworking it into something better. music's always been better after it's been run through four different sets of hands. ]
