[ the kiss surprises him, does indeed make him go silent, and he takes a moment before he replies. ]
I promise not to spill beer on them.

[Jeff goes silent in turn, his brow furrowing slightly even as he remains basically inches from David's face. Finally, he'll mumble-]
Pretty sure I already have.
Pretty sure I already have.
[ he snorts and it turns into a full laugh as he looks back at jeff. ]
That's fine, they're yours.
That's fine, they're yours.
I guess.
[He ducks his head, hiding his own smile at the laughter.]
You're gonna be shocked when I actually show up at your place, huh.

Probably.
[ though the idea of jeff carting over some boardgames from canada just to play with him is almost unbearable with how sweet it is. ]
[ better deflect ]
Haven't even given you my address for starters.

[He squirms enough to return his forehead to David's shoulder.]
Yeah? I better memorize it. Probably won't be able to take a notebook outta here.

[ god he's so cute, david just wants to squeeze him real good. ]
Suppose if you just walk into some seedy pub and say you're lookin' for David King, that'll work too.

[If they make it home, he's gonna do it. He's going to find David, even if it just ends up being terrible follow through on an awful joke.]
Can't figure out what to make of you.
Can't figure out what to make of you.
[ the image flits through his mind, of jeff in some shitty overpriced bar, some gormless freak keeping an eye on him until david shows up. the idea of being able to see him in a real place, where things make some kind of sense and they aren't tasked to try desperately not to die every other day. it makes his throat dry out and he swallows, unsure if that's bad or good. ]
[ he exhales through his nose, looking at jeff, eyebrows raised in confusion. ]
I'm not complicated.

I'm not complicated.
[It's a strange thought. Going back to reality, seeing these people face to face when the stakes were lower. When they had a shot at normalcy. (Or would they even have that? How were any of them meant to have a peaceful night's rest knowing they might wake back up by an ever-burning campfire?)
He shakes it off.]
Most people aren't. Just meant- you're different than how I thought you were. And I'm kind of sorry I didn't try to get to know you sooner, I guess. I'm gonna kiss you again so I stop making shit weird.
He shakes it off.]

Wait-- wait.
[ he tilts his head back out of easy kissing range. ]
How did you think I was?
[ david has a pretty decent idea, he acts the way he does most of the time for a reason after all. ]

[Fucking... rude.]
I dunno. Not much of a cuddler?

M'not usually.
[ he shrugs a shoulder. glancing away for a second as he shakes off thoughts of tristan again, less about the man himself and more what that means because yeah okay of course david was with him and yes he knows-- ]
Dunno. Maybe it's just 'cause of this place, or maybe it's 'cause sometimes you do these things with your face that are so fuckin' cute I wanna just-- grab your face and crush it.
[ is that weird? it feels weird. but he won't be held responsible for his cute aggression. ]

[It would be a lie to say that Jeff isn't burning with curiosity. David, who seems to ooze machismo, who has explicitly only mentioned girlfriends, cuddling with a guy like him in the deepest part of the woods.
The explanation makes him laugh, a surprised sound he doesn't quite mean to make.]
I'm not cute.
[If he had any real machismo himself he'd be offended; as it is, he's just baffled at a statement that feels objectively false.]

[This leaves Jeff BAFFLED.]
Wonder if someone's got some glasses for you to borrow. Damn.

[ he laughs and leans forward again to kiss jeff to make him stop arguing with him. ]
[OOC; rip but I think that's a pretty natural stopping place- I hope you'll hit me up if you post to any more memes though! This was great.]
[ ooc; for sure! i'm all over bakerstreet with david (and julie if you want to deal with a bitter teenage girl lmao) so i'll definitely pm you sometime for that or if i think of anything that sounds cool. ]
[OOC; yea please do!! and if you ever wanna do an au thread where somehow they actually get to meet up in the regular world i'm totally down too.]
[ ooc; man i am 500% down for regular world nonsense. just two dudes cuddling out their murdergame trauma ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ ]
forgot I wanted to cont this thread but I KNOW IT’S OLD so nws if you consider it dropped!

[ Susie kind of hates that Jeff isn’t being more disagreeable with her. It’s hard to keep genuinely hating someone who admits that they messed up without also garnering a modicum of guilt for oneself and Susie doesn’t have any problems unfortunately with feeling guilty every other day of her cursed existence in the Fog.
It doesn’t mean she’s letting go of her grudge, but it does take a lot of wind out of her sails. Makes it more difficult to be mean when she knows she’s being unfair and irrational.
And she really hates that. ]
Do you get that we don’t have a choice?
