[ the mornings are getting colder. so are the nights. it's like 32 degrees outside and that is like 40 degrees below acceptable? so dave's dragged every blanket they own into the room - or that's what he did before bed last night, rather, - and he's now fully dedicated to burrowing into john as much as possible and basically just using his bff as a convenient heater. there's nothing even slightly romantic about this, he's just REALLY FUCKING COLD.
but anyway, he wakes up because of course he does (does he have to, really,) and: ]
So I have an idea.
[ it's a maybe terrible idea, even if so far it won't got terribly badly for him. ]
[Meanwhile, John's probably really overheated and putting up with it. He loves Dave, he really does, but did it have to be every blanket? There's a face in his ribs and he makes a face as he shifts to accommodate, wrapping an arm around Dave to warm him up and also giving him a half-lidded look. It's too early, probably.]
Like the stuff with the well or doing quests. [Ugh.] I know you're right, but I'm still...[Worried, maybe. He doesn't say so and instead he shrugs.] Two weeks is a while from now.
Yeah, I know. [He's resigned himself to fate as a heater.] ...hey Dave. If we had a harvest festival a few weeks ago and now it's getting colder, do you think that means we can actually call this like November or December?
No reason. I was just curious. [And also 1000% planning on some kind of thing for Dave's birthday next month in fake-December. Little does he know he'll have to plan a three-way birthday party.] It's just nice to kind of know what month it is and track how long we've been here.
[ john, thinking he's finally free of birthday apocalypse december: fUCK. ] Mmm. I mean, I can tell you exactly how many days if you ever want. But yeah.
[It's fine maybe.] I feel like that number would just depress me, so maybe not. I don't mind knowing the month though. It means we can also track how long winter's going to last.
[ it's okay if john doesn't sound casual. it's still kind of a big deal to dave, which is why he keeps asking (that and he wants john to be comfortable) and when he shifts to sort of lean up and over john and dips down a little he's pretty gentle about it. it's a sleepy sort of affectionate kiss and it's maybe tentative like he sometimes is. ]
11/1

What kind of idea?
no subject
The kind of idea where I time travel a lot backwards outside of town and then come back into town?

Yeah. [He's trying to sound casual, but kissing is still a big deal despite how things went at the festival.]
