[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.

I don't get there until way after lunchtime.

If you would let me, I would. It puts some people to sleep, or it just feels nice. [He's never truly gotten to play with Dave's hair. He's just kind of pet it a couple of times today. But never...played with it.]

[knightime]

I never said you couldn't. [It wasn't really a concrete way of giving permission, but it wasn't really saying John couldn't. Dave is just being vague at this point.]

[longwinded]

[He reaches over, threading some of Dave's hair into his fingers, letting it go, and twirling a piece. Basically. Just all up in Dave's business now that he has all of this permission.]

I think I love playing with your hair.

[knightime]

You're a goddamn girl.

[But Dave visibly relaxed even as he spoke.]

[longwinded]

At least I'm a pretty girl.

[John has decided he is done eating. Kitchen chairs aren't the best place to play with you love interests hair, but it's a thing that is happening.]

[knightime]

You wish.

[Dave rests his head on his arms. Apparently he's done eating for now, since John seems to be pretty preoccupied.]

[longwinded]

[John continues doing that until his arm gets tired. He would be much more comfortable on the couch.]

Sorry Dave, you can finish eating now. [He takes his own plate and cup to the kitchen and then sits his little Egbert butt on the couch. Dave could totally join him if he wanted.]

[knightime]

[Dave was getting comfortable, you jackass. But he probably ears another slice or two, before putting the leftovers into the fridge.

And then he just stands over John and the couch, not sitting down.

Like a loser.]

[longwinded]

[John just opens his arms, all casual like.

His lap is free. There is enough Egbert for one Strider.]

C'mon Dave. Sit with me?

[knightime]

[Dave stands there for a moment longer before finally sits down on the couch with John. He isn't quite sitting on John, but he has his legs splayed across John's lap.]

[longwinded]

[John rests his arms on Dave's legs. He grins pretty wide. This made him so excited for some reason. Just being able to be right here.]

Tired again?

[knightime]

You wanted me to sit down. Make up your mind, John. [Gosh. But there's no bite to his words. He's become pretty docile now.]

[longwinded]

I'm not saying we're moving again. [But he does readjust so that he can run his hand through Dave's hair again. He plans on sleeping here if Dave really doesn't want to move again.]

[knightime]

[Dave just completely relaxes, letting his head rest against John's shoulder while he ran his fingers through his hair. He let out a small sigh.] Are you implying that you'd make sure I can't get back up?

[longwinded]

Totally. We're never moving again.

[But that is pretty sarcastic. He just leans over and kisses Dave's forehead. Resuming his hair stroking afterwards. It's good to know there is something out there that makes Dave relax like this.]

[knightime]

Because we don't have work and bills to pay, obviously.

[You're gonna put him straight back to sleep if you keep this up, you asshole.]

[longwinded]

No way. Those things don't even exist.

[John leans around again. Kissing Dave on the lips. He stops petting the others hair just for a moment to do it. John is just incapable of doing two things at once it seems.]

Paying bills is overrated.

[knightime]

[Dave kisses back gently, pressing himself close to John.]

Living out on the street sucks though.

[longwinded]

[John doesn't say anymore. Living out on the street would suck, but if he has Dave he believes he has all he needs in life as cheesy as that sounds. One hand tangles itself into Dave's hair, making him come closer as gently as he could.

He wanted to try for passionate this time. The last time they actually did this they were both extremely drunk and out of their fucking minds. He wonders if he still has the same feelings not drunk.

So far. So good.]

[knightime]

[Dave shifts a bit as they kiss. Instead of just tossing his legs on John's lap, he was now straddling the other. His fingers were laced into John's hair, body pressed as close as he could.

There was still some hesitance in his actions, but at least he was trying.]

[longwinded]

[John pulls away for a only a moment to catch his breath. It doesn't take long to crash their lips back together. John didn't mind leading at all- he was just slow in his movements trying to predict what to do next.

Dave being hesitant was the least of his worries. He would take care of Dave.]

[knightime]

[Dave tugs at John's hair a bit. A reflexive action as he licks John's lips a little hesitantly before parting his own. He didn't have to outwardly say what John had to do next.

He was testing his own limits more than John's. Seeing how far he can let himself go before he clams up.]

[longwinded]

[John physically relaxes, because hair pulling felt really nice if it wasn't over done. Nah, John was pretty aware of what was going on. He parted his lips. Hesitantly he slipped his tongue past Dave's lips, not really prodding around hard enough to be considered startling.

John's hands settle on Dave's hips, gripping gently.]

[knightime]

[This wasn't so bad. He can still hear his heart caught in his throat and how fast it was beating in his ears, but this wasn't bad. He started kissing back a little more willingly. Less shy or nervous about it. He keeps his fingers tangled in John's hair.]

[longwinded]

[John's thumbs were stroking Dave's sides. John was resisting having wandering hands just yet, he would wait until Dave was completely comfortable with this.

He pulls back, dragging his teeth gently on Dave's bottom lip. He takes a moment to breathe and be close to Dave. They didn't have to be done. John could literally just make out with Dave all night if he would allow it.]
