[action forever]

[hamburellakind]

[So, since their one year anniversary had fallen during an event, John and Dave had agreed to put it off until later. And since Dave was usually the one coming up with the romantic stuff for them to do, John had insisted on planning what they'd do and making it a surprise.

And then John realized how hard that was and oh my God what even could they do and then he had an idea but he needed to put it together and wowowowowowow this was a bad idea he should really leave this to Dave.

But finally John gets things together and he messages Dave and tells him to wear his god tier stuff and bring his sword and meet him in the pool.

John's decorated the area from the door to the edge of the pool to look like a ragged cliff-face. The pool serves as an ocean, and John uses his windy power to simulate huge crashing waves in its surface. Beneath these waves, John's filled the pool with a couple sharks and some piranhas and great big octopussquiddealies (which he was smart enough to feed before he lured Dave in here because this is only simulated danger not eatmyboyfriend danger).

However, the seemingly biggest danger is on the other end of the pool. John stands "chained" to a giant (styrofoam) rock, and as soon as he hears Dave enter he starts screaming and thrashing around. He's clearly frightened out of his wits by the giant fucking shaving cream horror terror that's looming above him, slowly melting in the humidity of the pool and receiving minor damage from the occasional wave. But the point is it is terrifying and John needs saving and maybe it disabled his windy powers and broke his arms or something because Dave is the only one who can save him.

John really hopes that all that is clear because he didn't think to explain any of it before Dave shows up. Oops.]

[Dave's "John-is-being-potentially-dumb" senses are tingling when he gets the message. Not that he's going to turn it down, but he sighs as he gathers his stuff and heads out.

He...isn't exactly expecting this. The fuck is that white thing? The fuck is in the pool? The fuck is John doing?]

John, the hell you doin'?

[hamburellakind]

[SCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA--] Being a damsel in distress! [MMMMMMMMMMMMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!!!]

[urnewkingbitch]

[How does one take this?

Well, a Strider will go along with it. So, that's what Dave's going to do. Still...he's got a choice to make. Continue the charade of not having the Power of Flight or...let this be a shocker to his bf?

It takes him a couple seconds to think and decides on the latter. Now's as good a time as any.]

Don't do anything dumb while you're over there, Egbert!

[Annnd...whoosh! Flying over to John's rock!!]

[hamburellakind]

[John just. Stares. His mouth is still open for fake screaming but it's not actually producing any noise. Mostly it's gaping. At how his boyfriend can fly.

Why didn't Dave mention this at any point, exactly?

John's so distracted by this revelation that his windy thing gets a little out of control and a wave swipes him right off of his rock and into the pool. Shocked, he hardly realizes it's happened before his eyes land on a great grey figure headed his way and oh no, the sharks think I'm food.

Yeah, he actually needs help now because he's mostly panicking on about twelve different levels.]

[urnewkingbitch]

Shit!

[John, why. Why John. Diving under to secure a grip on the silly wind god, and shoots out of the water. He's not stopping until he's about level with the mansion's roof in terms of height.]

Dude, you okay?

[hamburellakind]

[Oh God that shark looks really angry DUDE I FED YOU BEFORE WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT oh God I'm going to die in blue PJ's AGAIN.

...Or not.

John's fingers tangle tightly into Dave's shirt as he coughs up as much of the water as he can before speaking.]

...Wanted to make you feel like a hero.

[urnewkingbitch]

[Dave will rate this response as an "I'm alive, but I could be better emotionally."]

You...what?

[To say he's surprised is an understatement.]

[hamburellakind]

[John bites his lip.]

I thought it'd be a nice anniversary present? I mean, after all the...stuff that's happened.

[Dave's been the bad guy before. John wants to make sure he knows he's a good guy in the end.]

[urnewkingbitch]

[Well, Dave has to admit the thought was very sweet. Backfired like a bitch, but sweet. He sighs softly and moves John so that he's hugging that silly goober.]

Would've been a pretty sweet set up, if it weren't for the whole actually fallin' in part. Next time, can you skip the sharks?

[hamburellakind]

I thought I fed them enough!

[John pouts. Then remembers.]

...When did you start flying?

[urnewkingbitch]

Sharks are never satisfied, dude.

[Dave shrugs.]

Ever since I went God Tier.

[hamburellakind]

I didn't know that.

[John can feel his prankster's gambit dropping.]

[urnewkingbitch]

That'd be because I never fuckin' told you and I made sure you didn't see me flyin' around.

[Man, John's just suffering so many blows today.]

where aaaare yoooooou

[hamburellakind]

You're a jerk.

[John leans his forehead into Dave's shoulder and sighs.]

I'm sorry I screwed this up.

i'm in your base killing your dudes

[urnewkingbitch]

[He kisses the top of John's head.]

You did your best, and the idea was pretty fuckin' great.

[....]

'Sides, I liked that you'd take the effort to pick my supposedly flightless self up and take me places.

you son of a bitch

[hamburellakind]

So basically, you're a lazy bum. Noted.

[John sighs and leans back again.]

You wanna do something else?

<3

[urnewkingbitch]

The laziest of bums.

[He thinks about it.]

Well, there's always the "romantic cliche as hell night flight" route.

[hamburellakind]

You mean the "Whole New World"?

[urnewkingbitch]

Well, I'd be lyin' if I said the song wasn't stuck in my head right now.

[hamburellakind]

That is the best idea you have ever had.

[John glances down.]

I can take care of the sharks later. Let's go.

[John takes Dave's hand and leads the way outside.]

[urnewkingbitch]

What? I'm full of good ideas.

[He follows along, and hopes that nobody falls into the pool.]

You'd be better at it than me.

[hamburellakind]

And this one is the best.

[John gives Dave a look.]

Why? Am I the shark whisperer? Didn't we just prove that's not the case?

[urnewkingbitch]

No. Because you've got the wind powers and I don't. You don't strictly have to touch the motherfuckers.

[hamburellakind]

Okay, yeah, true. I kinda dropped them in there.

[They rise up above the mansion easily, John gripping Dave's hand tightly as they go.]

So this flying thing-- do all god tiers get it? I kind of figured it made sense for me and Jade, y'know. Breath and Space...

I didn't even think about it for you and Rose, haha.

[urnewkingbitch]

Kinda figured.

[He casually floats along with him.]

All god tiers get it, as far as I know. Rose and I can do it, anyway, and all the trolls get fuckin' fairy wings, so I guess we all just. Fly.
