My Heart's a Stereo

[knightime]

Characters: Dave Strider and Jade Harley
Location: Jade's Room; Coral Corral; 6
Time: IDK NOW?! Afternoon I guess
Status: Closed


Dave was thinking about what he told Feferi. God, he's such a hypocritical fuck. He could be doing the same thing with Jade. Except he apparently didn't actually have enough balls available to ask her out again. Which is kind of silly now that he thinks about it.

He'd done it once. Okay, he did it with the help of the curse, but he did nonetheless.

And maybe this Jade would feel the same right?

Wow, was he actually thinking this hard on this? When did he become the lovesick school girl who thought about their sweet nothings on their bed, wasting away, only to watch the person they love get swep-this thought is being aborted.

Dave sat up. No. Fine. He can do this. He swung his legs over the bed and made his way to Jade's room. If he was going to waste an entire morning contemplating this, he might as well just try. At worst, she'll reject him and things might be awkward. But he wasn't going to sit around and actually let this eat at him.

He knocked at her door, before folding his arms over his chest. "Hey, Harley. You got a minute?" Oh hey, his voice didn't crack. This means something positive at the very least. Dear god, you're hopeless Strider.

Dog ears you say? Going to absentmindedly scratch behind them.

"You hear that? That's the sound of my extremely fragile self esteem being beaten to tiny, miniscule pieces. I thought you were better then that," he replies. There's a small smile on his face though.

[frogs]

Oh my god yes. Yes, please. Delicious ear scratches. If Jade could purr she would be right now. Instead her face just goes really red and her eyes flutter closed.

"Hmm," she replied half-heartedly. Sorry, what were they talking about? She forgot.

[knightime]

He chuckles a bit. "I've tamed the beast. She is weak to ear scratches."

And then he's sneaking a hand to poke at her side. Are Harleys even ticklish? This can either end terribly or wonderfully.

[frogs]

"Noooo," she whined half-heartedly. Okay, maybe yes. It just felt really good! She couldn't really explain it. Possibly the best explanation she had was to compare it to a massage.

Jade giggled and squirmed away from him, lifting her head and shaking his hand away. Her ears twitched at being released. "Hey, watch it."

[knightime]

"Your shit is wrecked, Jade. You won't be able to stop any of my advances now. I now know you're weak to getting your ears scratched and that you are not actually immune to Strider tickles," he says as he wriggles his fingers threateningly at her.

That, and he totally just tried climbing on you to pin you down so he can incite his wrath of tickling.

[frogs]

"Nooooo!" Jade drawled dramatically and tried to roll away but he pinned her successfully. She poked her tongue out at him "That's not fair."

And then she was squirming and laughing again, trying to wiggle free. No fair at all! Maybe he was ticklish too? Well, she'll give it a try and find out. Which she did because he was in the perfect spot for a counterattack.

[knightime]

"I don't play fair. I hustled a bunch of gators out of their well earned boonbucks in the largest scam that ever could be. Tickling you is pretty much in my book at this po-"

The sound that came out of Dave when she tickled back could only be what was probably the most horrific noise that Dave thinks he had ever made. Oh shit. Okay, so maybe he was incredibly ticklish too. She totally didn't just figure that out. Nope. He did not actually make some pseudo squeak-laugh-scream of any sort.

[frogs]

Jade blinked, at first startled by the sudden noise that she just forced out of Dave's mouth. Her surprise rapidly evolved into amusement and she began to laugh again, grabbing at his shirt and threatening to tickle him again.

"Is the great cool kid Strider ticklish too? Did I just uncover the biggest secret ever?" she giggled.

[knightime]

Oh hell naw. "Hell no. I am the complete opposite of ticklish. I'm basically a human rock when it comes to being tickled." Don't you dare Jade.

Don't you dare tickle him. He will disown you.

No he won't. He's just extremely embarrassed right now.

[frogs]

Jade giggled. Challenge accepted, Dave. She scooted closer on him, wiggling her fingers in his face threateningly. She didn't believe him, of course. Over the time she had known him she somewhat knew how to decipher the coolkid language. Still, it was kind of ridiculously fun to see him freak out over something so silly.

Dave was silly.

"Oh reeeeally?" she drawled. "Is that a challenge? Hmmm?"

[knightime]

Poker face. Poker face until the end of time. Even if he's suddenly extremely apprehensive of those fingers. No, Jade. Stop. This is the opposite of what he wants you to do.

"That depends. If you mean by Strider isn't ticklish and therefore you shouldn't even try. Challenge accepted. I don't see why we need to actually test this out. Since when have I lied to you? Never. So this is obviously anything, but a lie."

[frogs]

"Is that sooooo?" Jade teased. She lowered her hand and hovered her fingers over his stomach. Just hovered them there teasingly. Waiting...

"I think you are totally lying this time."

[knightime]

That was totally him sucking in some air. Oh my god. Your fingers are way too close for comfort.

"Nope. Not lying. Totally telling the truth. The truth hurts, but it's right there. Large neon lights and signs and everything." Stop. Sob.
