#dax and alanis thread.

"hiding? that doesn't sound like her. but fine... gotta see how this goes."

"ugh, you can't do that. she'll be hiding herself in her room for days on end, it's not like anyone will ever have to know!"

[inkshadow]

"is that.... does that mean you're going to use that tonight with us? can i use it on you?" he doesn't know why he's asking. he usually just takes and asks for forgiveness later. if he doesn't forget. "n-no, i'm not a dumbass. let's go home."

"don't worry, dax. i've got something that buzzes at home." she grins, giving a little shove to his shoulders. "quite sure, unless you're trying to delay going home? or was there something that caught your eye?"

[inkshadow]

❝ hey! i'm puttin' food on the table, i don't know why you're complaining! maybe if someone would take care of me, i wouldn't feel so fuckin' loopy in the head... ❞

"they're not dumb enough to get hit in the face for a living. ugh, will you stop being so ridiculous."

[inkshadow]

"well shit, maybe i'll just annoy her until she moves out. oh and she's not embarrassed to live here? babe, we had a fucking hole in our ceiling for days. maybe weeks. several of them! alright, if you say so..."

"it won't be that awkward. it's not like she couldn't find a friend or something to stay with if she really wanted to, she's just embarrassed. does it really matter? she already knows what we get up to well enough, it can't be that much of a surprise..."

[inkshadow]

"you realize it's gonna be awkward no matter what, right? who said i was complaining? i'm totally fine with that, just makin' sure you're good with that. and that your cousin won't pass judgement on me or whatever for literally sleeping with you."

"i am, i don't want it to be awkward. are you about to complain about having someone hot in your bed at night? really?"

[inkshadow]

"you're really optimistic about this, you must really want this to work out. you really alright with sharing a room and bed with me? you realize i'm a dude, right?"

"well... that just means we'll have to get creative!"

[inkshadow]

"fuckin' fuck, we can't just have sex wherever we want anymore. especially since she works from home...."

"i just thought it might be something to sweeten the deal... oh, like she doesn't know what happens."

[inkshadow]

"uh huh.... was that, like, a just-in-case dax flips out and really says no or...? not sure your holier-than-thou cousin would approve of that...."

"well... that's what i was hoping to sweeten you up with. i was going to give her my room and i could crash with you..."

[inkshadow]

"guess i'll just have to deal with heather stayin' with us then. you realize we don't have enough rooms.... right? she alright takin' my room? or you can have my room. or you can sleep with me, i don't care."

"of course i would. anytime."

[inkshadow]

"yeah? you'd do that for me, baby?"

"no, no. when you come home."

[inkshadow]

"where? the pits? nah it's good. you don't need to hang out there. you'd be better off helping your cousin move in."

"don't be like that. i can come take care of you."

[inkshadow]

"mmm, can't be walkin' around bleeding all over the floors. last time that happened, she gave me a look."

"come on, don't be like that. there's no reason you can't come back here."

[inkshadow]

"ALANIS - oh my god. i have a fight saturday night... maybe i'll just stay at my parent's that night or something."

"this weekend..."

[inkshadow]

"fine. when does she move in?"

"it'll be fine, dax. she's just had a relationship end. i think the last person she'll care about is you."

[inkshadow]

"because she hates me. it doesn't feel great walkin' around my own house with someone who judges people all the time. but whatever you've already said yes."

"why do you have to be such a dick about it? it won't be forever."

[inkshadow]

"bet i would... but fine, you can be a buzzkill...." because when they get home, there won't be anything to stop him at that point. "are you sure you don't wanna pick up anything while we're here? could help for later, y'know."

"i bet you'd like that..." she would too, given the way she leans in to press her lips against his again. it lingers for a moment longer than she intends for it to because it feels to good but eventually her grip loosens. "we should go home."
