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.

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.

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.
