i'm counting back the number of the steps

[heirterosexual]

Characters: John Egbert, Dave Strider, and anyone else who wants in.
Setting: Cafeteria! Saturday the 20th.
Format: Whatever goes.
Summary: Boys, candy, boys in pink skirts. John needs to get out more.
Warnings: Language, teenage boys being jerks to each other.



John was actually starting to get used to and almost enjoy his costume. The pants were a little tight but the jacket was actually sort of cool. He didn't pull the look off terribly well with his coke-bottle glasses, but thankfully he hadn't lost those to the costume since he sort of needed them to see. He had fallen into the habit of always having a candy cigarette in his mouth, to complete the look. He felt like maybe being in character would help his chances of getting candy.

So far it wasn't, really, but he had a good enough haul as it stood.

Currently, he was sitting at a table with his candy all strewn across it, sorting it and counting the individual pieces. He frowned.

"Why is it always banana laffy taffy? Banana is gross."

"It's cool. I'm cool with ditching him. Only for you. You are that special." Wow that was kind of gay, but he's just messing. "No homo."

[grislytragedian]

"Of course not. Thought, for the record it's a little hard to take that seriously when you're wearing a skirt and when I have caught you in girl's underwear before."

He pauses and just lets that last statement sink in. Something about it sounds...

"Wow, okay that sounded kind of awkward so let's forget I said it. Anyway, are you and John are doing alright with the whole candy hunting thing?"

[knightime]

Dave actually starts snickering a bit. That is quite the shit eating grin he's got on his face. He doesn't seem perturbed at all with John's words, regardless of how awkward that was just now.

"I'm only the most serious when I'm flaunting some feminine wear, didn't you know? Shit, get your stuff straight. I'm like trying to pass off as the prettiest fucking girl right now and you're ruining my hopes and dreams if you don't take me seriously. Man, check it, dude. Not everyone wishes to be a pretty girl, but I'm trying." Hahaha, damn, he's just going to tease you relentlessly about it. "I can borrow Jade's underwear if you really want that to be a thing. I'm sure she won't mind. She didn't mind the first time."

At the latter comment, he shrugged. "It's fine. He keeps trying to eat that shit and I keep having to tell him to fucking knock it off."

[grislytragedian]

"Oh my god, shut up." He just buries his face in his hands. Because that's what people who are not embarrassed do. And John is ccertainly not embarrassed. And no Dave, he does not want to see you in Jade's underwear again that's kind of weird for a number of reasons.

Eventually, he manages to regain his composure and sits back up. "Alright. Well if either of you find yourself in a place where you're short, let me know. It's probably dickish of me to do so, but I have been holding on to extras whenever I come across them." He seems to have a knack for finding the little buggers on top of that.

And yet, somehow Rose managed to die. Welp.

"We both know that's something that isn't happening anytime soon, so it's not even worth asking." And he just thinks your reaction is hilarious. Oh my god, it was just her bra. It wasn't like he asked for her panties. She just happened to ask for his boxers.

"I think we'll be okay. I woke up with the note attached to my shitty teddy bear, so I'm not interested in taking any risks. Anything involving that stupid bear means serious shit," Dave says with a bit of a deadpan. His expression sobered up some even.

He has not so great memories involving shitty teddy bears.

[grislytragedian]

But it was his alt-sort-of-sister's bra on his alt-sort-of best bro and it was just weird, okay? Okay. He quirks a brow at the mention of the bear though.

"Teddy bear?" Come on, Dave you can't just leave him hanging like that.

[knightime]

Next time he'll ask to wear your underwear. Will that make you feel better?

"Teddy bear." Dave is a stubborn buttface and you're going to have to try harder. "The usual Tower ruining things for everyone by pissing in our cereal shenanigans."

[grislytragedian]

No! No that would not make him feel better!

"I...see. Is this just a you thing though or do I need to start keeping my eyes open for subliminal teddy messages?"

[knightime]

But why not?

"We played hide n' seek with teddy bears." That's all Dave was going to say about it. Saying he got a teddy bear out of it implied he lost. Or something.
