[A sincere question, like it's just occurred to him.]
[ he was joking but... you know what, why not? ]
... Yeah. Course it is.
[ he puffs out his chest and nods a little with that "i've just decided this and i'm not entirely confident about it yet" kind of bravado. ]
... Yeah. Course it is.
[ he puffs out his chest and nods a little with that "i've just decided this and i'm not entirely confident about it yet" kind of bravado. ]
Oh. Jesus.
[He leans in, shifting to rest his forehead against David's shoulder. It's the gentlest melodramatic theatrics ever.]
Now I feel underprepared.

Now I feel underprepared.
[ he laughs quietly and puts a hand on the back of jeff's head. ]
What would you've done differently?
What would you've done differently?
Nothing. But I could've psyched myself up beforehand, right?
To do what? Exactly what we've been doing?
[ here have some pats on the back, that'll help. ]
[ here have some pats on the back, that'll help. ]
[Well, he doesn't mind them.]
Yeah. Guess I should be glad I don't have a place to clean up.
Yeah. Guess I should be glad I don't have a place to clean up.
There's a thought.
[ there, one hand on jeff's head one on his back, such affection for this ridiculous anxiety riddled man. ]
What would you do different if we were at your place?

[He's mostly just being silly, because approaching whatever this is with any more gravity feels like it would be insane.
At the same time? The touch really does help.]
I'm a decent cook. You got any allergies?

[ he shakes his head with a soft noise to say no. ]
Lead-lined stomach at that.

[He kisses David's neck once.]
Maybe Rocket League. Who knows.

[ he tilts his head to encourage a lil more of that. ]
I wouldn't trust me with a game, might break your controller.

They're cheap online.
[Dismissive. He does take that cue, though, sweeping a soft line up the slope of his throat.]

[ oh. that really is super distracting. it takes david an extra moment or two to notice jeff said anything. ]
Dinner and beer and Rocket League then. Sounds nice.
Dinner and beer and Rocket League then. Sounds nice.
[And then all the way back down, a cautious little scrape of teeth at the juncture of David's neck and shoulder.]
What're we doing at your place?
What're we doing at your place?
[ well that gets a noise in response that david tries to hide behind clearing his throat. extremely rude. ]
Honestly? [ he laughs a little ] Probably would've tried to get you into bed by now.
[ like why else would he invite someone to his place anyway? ]

[David will probably feel more than hear the surprised little snort.]
On the second date, huh.

Yeah?
[ he is very much Not A Romantic sorry jeff ]
[ he is very much Not A Romantic sorry jeff ]
[He doesn't seem Bothered. Kind of amused, if anything, and he hopes that comes through when he nips at that same spot on his neck.]
Date or a hookup?
Date or a hookup?
[ his breath catches at that nip ]
It can't be both?
[ david frowns a little, thinking. ]
I'm a shit cook, I'd take you out for dinner. So if we were at my place...
It can't be both?
[ david frowns a little, thinking. ]
I'm a shit cook, I'd take you out for dinner. So if we were at my place...
[He is extremely aware of that little hitch of breath. He doesn't want to risk leaving a mark, so he shifts just enough to pay equal attention to the other side of David's throat.]
No board games to play, then.
No board games to play, then.
[ he laughs like the idea of having board games in his flat is funny ]
No board games, no
No board games, no
[Jeff leans up then, kisses that laugh to silence with a bit of an abruptness.]
Then I'll bring you a couple.
[He'd been lonely, sure, but David's loneliness feels - worse.]
