You mean that thing I did not mind at all?

[ like, the wording is teasing but jade's being sincere; she really did not mind? dave put together a date two days before The Day, and like. it was so close to valentine's day that doesn't it count as a v-day thing anyway? ]

You don't... feel bad about it, do you? You are forgetting about the flowers you gave me, too, you know!

[ she almost went on a tangent about the history of valentine's day but this is not the time to talk about fertility rituals is it ???? no its not ]

I mean, I'm not forgettin', but you deserve an actual V-day present of girlfriend caliber too? And I wanted to give you one.

[ let him do the boyfriend thing proper, damnit?

also. he. definitely just leaned up against her locker godamnit dave this doesn't look as cool as you think it does. ]

So. [ he shoves a box at her? it has ridiculous wrapping paper and looks jewelry-sized because it is. the necklace inside is a heart pendant with a twist.

he'll wait until she opens it to start talking again - jk he has been talking this entire time, probably, but about nothing relevant? ]

- Anyway I don't think you're usually a heart jewelry kinda girl but I figured this kind would be ok? Maybe? I can return it if you hate it.

Well, wanting to is different!

[ there's no obligation, holiday aside. if dave wants to give her something then she's fine with it. IT'S DIFFERENT.

i cant believe dave is leaning against jade's locker like they're danny and sandy from grease?? embarrassing tbh. slightly more embarrassing than the fact dave is so comfortable with his own voice that he has to keep talking while jade tries very hard to not rip this wrapping paper. for the most part, she succeeds, too. it's a good thing that all of her books are in a backpack on the ground now because as soon she spots what exactly is she's looking at, well. ]

Are you fucking kidding me right now???

[ jade hops up and tosses her arms around dave's neck and this alone means that her feet are off the ground but then she decides to wraps her legs around his torso in a tight hug? this is ridiculous. ] It is perfect, Dave! Better than ok, thank you thank you thank you--

[ i cant believe a space nebula got her that excited but it did ]

[ whoa okay he was still holding some text books but luckily dave is strong enough to balance jade with one arm so he doesn't have to drop those, even though he does stumble back a step. holy shit, wolf, warn him more? ]

Whoa there, little warning next time, don't wanna drop you -

[ not that he ever would. he's used to having to hold people up from dance, but also: he'd never let go of a friend unless he was, like, dropping them into a pool or something like that.

...that doesn't count, right. ]

So, uh, cliche over and done with?

[ jade gets a smile, but it happens to be one of dave's sort of shy ones. he is not actually as confident as he pretends he is. ]

[ uh, no? jade just did it and now she is just sitting there in dave's arm with all the balance necessary, somehow. it helps that she's small but dancers, man. ]

Yeah, okay, excellently executed cliche over!

[ but not before she places a kiss on his nose. and then another. and another and another and

it's like counting his freckles but with kisses, how is there not a hall monitor breaking them up. jade wolf continues to do the impossible ]

[ he will drop her down on her feet, though? so they can like. get out of school maybe or something? ]

Just as long as you like it. I don't want to fuck up the boyfriend thing this early in the game? Or like. Ever in the game. But I'm sure I'll make some kinda mistake down the road, since that is a thing people do and I ain't perfect.

Of course I like it. It's perfect!

[ it's nerdy and cute and it's space but it's from dave which means it's everything she loves? so. ]

I think fucking up is part of the boyfriend thing? Also the girlfriend thing! But the relationship part is working it out. [ ...also why would jade hate any gift dave gives her, she wonders, she keeps everything he gives her that isn't perishable? ]

As long as you want to keep workin' shit out with me, I'm happy.

[ also. he will hold out his hand to her? ]

And now if you want I'll escort you home, m'lady.

[ and fade this thread to black because WE HAVE SO MANY THREADS and this accomplished what i wanted ]
