[Closed] Day(care) Dreamers

[knightime]

Your name is Dave Strider. Usually you'd start this by saying how cool you are, but that's not actually true. You aren't actually all that cool nor do you actually care. You're old enough to have graduated college but you never went. You just can't really do this people thing, which is why it's so surprising as to how you got your job. You're a daycare worker at some place in the richer area of the city. Kids love you. You have no idea why. It's really weird, but you're not going to try and make a big deal out of it. You get paid well after all. Even though it's your main income, you actually do fairly well with your website. You DJ and you release original music on it and it makes pretty good money. Enough that if you ever lost your job, it would still support you.

You kind of grew up as this really tall, skinny shit. It's your damn metabolism and the only reason you aren't as skinny as you are is because your Bro made sure of it and you actually work out when you have time. That doesn't help with you being paler than any Twilight vampire and being assaulted by freckles. Also your hair kind of freaks people out or everyone thinks you dye it or something. Whatever.

It so happens that you're waiting for the last kid to get picked up. You're still trying to figure out how on Earth Rose somehow became a mom, but whatever. Apparently someone else is picking the kid up today and he's waiting for that person to do so. Seriously, it would be nice if they weren't so late.

[Dave is massacring his breakfast as usual. Everything is right in the world.]

There are cheaper places then where you were living.

[longwinded]

It was what I could afford when I moved in, until the landlord upped my rent. Stupid situation that should have never happened.

[He washes up his dishes.] I can go alone. Since I don't have any furniture. Just my clothes and other shit.

[knightime]

You mistaken me for a helpful person. I'm not helping you move your shit. [He's a lazy jackass, remember?]

I'll be home all day. I don't have anything to do until the evening.

[longwinded]

[John is well aware, Dave. John is taking his keys and heading out now.]

What time do you need me to be back?

[knightime]

By nine. We're going clubbing and I'm going to get you wasted off your ass and you can't say no. Gotta have your moving in party.

[longwinded]

It's been for fucking ever since I went clubbing, or got drunk off my ass. So the combination sounds like the best idea you've ever had.

[John leaves soon after that. It takes him pretty much all day of being in and out of his old house his new apartment with Dave to get moved in. By seven o'clock he's in the shower and getting appropriate to go to the club.

Surprisingly, John can appropriately dress for the club. A tank top, unbuttoned plaid button up shirt, and a good pair of jeans. After he affirmed everything was in his room that needed to be- it was going to be pretty much time to go out.]

[knightime]

[John might have heard some singing and keyboard being used during his shower. Dave was seated in front of it, the headphones that he had gotten for his birthday from Rose around his neck and wearing a matching jacket with "DJ KnightTime" printed on the back of it paired with a pair of black skinnies.

He probably hasn't realized that John is ready, too busy singing]

[longwinded]

[John adjusts his glasses and stands in the door frame. Okay the jacket was a little cheesy, DJ KnightTime was a really fitting name for Dave.

At some point, John starts humming the higher harmony with it. Absolutely amazed by the talent Dave has to actually say the words.]

[knightime]

[Your face is cheesy, asshole.

Dave jolts a little and stops playing when he hears John humming.] Why didn't you just say you were ready?

[longwinded]

[He shrugs.]

I didn't want to disrupt you, I liked it.

[knightime]

You seriously have like the hugest stalker tendencies.

Come on. [Dave turns the keyboard off and goes to get his keys and head out the door.]

[longwinded]

It's not stalking anymore if we live in the same place.

[John will follow him, to get his keys and out of the door.]

[knightime]

[Of course Dave takes John to one of the best clubs in town. He also isn't telling John what's in the drinks he orders, only that they're amazing so shut up and drink them.]

[longwinded]

[Wow fucking rude, but he will drink them anyways. Wow they are pretty good. If John keeps going he is going to be absolutely fucking trashed by the time they get home.

John is going to probably dance, which he is not terrible at. Just sloppy because drinking.]

[knightime]

[Except Dave likes to make fun of John's dancing.] Dude, you dance like a fish on land. Holy shit.

[longwinded]

[What if he's too far gone to care.]

Then why don't you show me how to dance right? [Because club dancing now has a science??]

[knightime]

Naw. No one would be able to handle Strider moves. All the panties that would fly.

Come on, let's head out. [He needs some fresh air at this rate.]

[longwinded]

[John is grinning, it's a charming and really goofy grin. He's literally the most enthused with Dave right now.]

Kay. [John has a hold on Dave's shoulder, because wow would it be depressing if he left John all alone here! In this sea of night clubbers who were about as or more giddy than John was right now.]

[knightime]

[Dave was like a walking furnace. More so than usual with alcohol in his system. It's also convenient because it's kind of cold outside. Dave just throws his arm over John's shoulder as he helps the other walk home with him.]

God, you're like the happiest fucking drunk, John.

[longwinded]

I don't get drunk all the time. [Mmm, Dave is really warm and he smells nice and John is just going to make himself really fucking comfortable right now.]

I should go out more often.

[knightime]

I would hope not. [That's okay. Dave is being friendly affectionate back. It's odd, but Dave is kind of buzzed. This seems like a good idea.]

It's fun once in awhile.

[longwinded]

[John feels like it's okay to put his arms around Dave, maybe rely on him for balance. Yes this is a fantastic idea.]

I had a lot of fun tonight, spending time with you is what made it the most fun. [John is also a talkative drunk, more than usual.]

[knightime]

[Dave doesn't stop John at all. He just lets John get all touchy feely as he wants.]

I don't usually go out as often. I do take care of a bunch of miniature people as a day job.]

[longwinded]

[Oh good, because John just planted a big kiss on his cheek.]

Yeah, they're all really fucking cute. [He does it again. Wow Dave smells nice still and is insanely warm.] I know you probably don't want me doing that, sorry.

[knightime]

[Oh hello, John. It's nice to see you too.

And there's that really happy smile like yesterday on Dave's face.] Naw, I guess it's cool.
