Ungh, shit ... !

[ Grabbing the hand at his side, he yanks on it and props himself on a bent knee to try and shove the phone out of her grip. It can smash on the floor for all he cares, for Dave, too, is out of shippable fucks. ]

[She holds on tight -- laughing all the way. Her tickling hand is apprehended, however, and there is only so far Rose can stretch. She doesn't want to relent. She isn't even sure if she has clicked post.

But Dave is leaving her with little choice.

She drops it. It clatters and bounces on the ground and Rose has to bite her lower lip to curb the rest of her laughter. ]

I hope you broke your damn phone.

[ Shortly in position of both her wrists as if to stop her pulling any more shenanigans, it's impossible to hide the fact he's mildly embarrassed by her almost-completely-are-you-kidding-me nudity. A shift, honestly. She's insane.

So is he, fortunately, as he plants a kiss on her cheek with annoyed firmness. ]

[She would argue that there is almost 0 nudity happening. Everything of importance is covered. The kiss is nice though. It is surprisingly chaste, for a boy who spends his waking hours talking about his own dong more than anything else.

She presses her cold nose against his cheek and laughs, softly. ]

It's made of strong stuff.

[ oh my god fuck you lalonde no, she's not allowed to make him miss her this much, absolutely not. Her cold nose is unpleasant, so he decides to wrap his arms around her to provide the warm cuddles she direly needs. He's a gent like that. ]

You're gonna freeze like this. [ Grabbing the quilt, Dave flops it over them. Mostly her, since he's fully dressed. ] I don't have any heating tonight, remember?

I'm fine. You are warm enough for us both.

[She winds her arms up and around the back of his neck. She kisses his cheek properly, toying with the short strands of her hair at the nape of his neck. She doesn't mind the cold. ]

I volunteer you for big spoon, however.

Oh, so I do get my spoon-centric dignity back.

[ He slouches on the couch, pulling her into him for warmth's sake, and gives a shiver as he tucks in the blanket behind her shoulders. ]

Can't believe this. In which day and age do people lose all power?

Only to keep me warm.

[She tucks herself into his side, resting her chin on his shoulder. She tugs the quilt up a little more and very, very sneakily lifts her leg to intertwine with his. ]

The day and age where Dave Strider thinks he knows how electronics work.

I know how to set up a sound system, okay. That one was faulty when it spazzed out.

[ What a sneaky leg. He'll let it pass though. ]

I believe you. Thousands wouldn't, of course.

[Rose is the master of sneakiness and mystery. ]

Where's my pizza got to? [ Grumbling into her hair, a hand sliding up her back over silk and then smoother skin. ] I'm so damned cold, what the hell ...

[ Whiny, prissy bitch mode; activated. ]

If it's not here in ten minutes, I believe we get it free.

[He is not unlike what Rose imagines having a little sister is like. She's quiet for a moment, before she turns her head glancing up at him. ]

We could relocate to your bedroom and commandeer your blankets too.

... There are a lot of blankets in there. But we'd have to move as one beast, four legs, two heads.

[ He gives her a serious look. ]

Can you deal with that much responsibility?

I absolutely can.

[She sits back and gives him an absolutely serious look in turn. ]

The question is, can you keep up with me?

Does Egbert jack off to Matthew McConaughey? Damn right.

[ And so begins the shuffling process of getting them both to the sanctuary of his bed. It takes longer than it should to get off the couch, given his arms want to wind around her and keep Rose flush back-to-chest with him. ]

[She doesn't want to admit out loud that she misses his body heat, but she thinks's obvious enough when she opens up her quilt-cape, steps in close to him and lifts up a corner, indicating for him to grab it and pull it around himself. ]

Ready?

[Rose walks deliberately fast, just to test his dedication to keeping them both as one unit. She pushes him back, wondering if he will cave and turn around. ]

[ Walking backwards in the dark with a lethal sheet flapping around his heels is not his ideal way of backtracking to the bedroom, especially when he's distracted by keeping his hands on Rose so neither of them trip and crack open their skulls. ]

You could've been home instead of turning to ice here.

[ Kicking open his door, he leads her over wires and bits of plastic casing as carefully as possible. His bed is a mess, but at least it's clean. ]

I came to seduce you, remember?

[She snorts and tugs the quilt off of them both and throws it onto Dave's bed. They will be sufficiently warm here, she concludes. A+, would bunk with again. ]

I wouldn't let you freeze on your own.

[ Shrugging his jeans off in the dark, he pulls all the blankets straight-ish and guides her into his arms, the heat of his own chest burning through a soft, well-worn top. ]

My knight in shining armour.

Absolutely. You will refer to me as Sir Lalonde from now on.

[Sometimes, though it's not very often, Rose finds herself ... out of sorts, with Dave. Not in a particularly bad way, but in a way where she feels as though she would like to take all the things he dislikes about himself or that he lets him worry about and put them on her own shoulders.

She would do a lot for Dave Strider, if it would help. She pecks his cheek again and then she moves to hover over him, kissing his nose and then his other cheek. ]

I could get used to this kind of treatment, Sir Lalonde.

[ Smiling underneath those butterfly kisses, he tilts his lips to catch her own in a brief peck. Thief of Smooch, O!how the mighty fall. He loves it when Rose is like this. Touchable, intimate in a way he can't be with other women, even Jade to a degree. Maybe it's because they share similar barriers, but Dave finds the way she lets him nuzzle all the way up to her ear more thrilling than a night out on the town, sighing contentedly as a result.

And then the doorbell rings. ]

Fuck that noise. [ NO HE ISNT MOVING FUCKFUCKFKGJFG. ] Can you get it ...

I'm going to eat the biggest slice, for my efforts.

[She pecks him on the mouth again, before she rolls away from him and shuffles her way out from under the blanket mountain. It's something to be admired, she thinks. She steps into the cold hallway in her ridiculous nightie and tries not to think about how all it takes is a few seconds before she misses the warmth of Dave wrapped around her. She doesn't have much space to dwell on it as she answers the door.

It is freezing outside. Rose makes the pizze exchange as quick as she can. She has the door closed in the delivery boy's face before a leer can reach his face. She sincerely hopes Dave doesn't mind pizza in his bed, because that is exactly where she heads back to, pizza box in one hand as she squints at it's contents in the dark. ]

The biggest piece is eluding me in the dark. If only you had had mercy on my phone.

[ Balled up like a toasty spoiled bug, he welcomes her back into his embrace and sits up behind Rose, long legs either side of her own as he rifles in the pizza box. Hah, like Dave would mind pizza in bed, it's nothing short of godly. ]

This is the best blackout I've ever had, hands down.

[ He even pokes around to find her the biggest slice, bopping the cheesy point on her lips. ]

[She settles in comfortly, back flush to Dave's chest and her toes tucked comfortably under one of the other blankets. She opens her mouth to take a big, grateful bit and snorts at his statement. She wonders if he's had many blackouts to compare this with. After she's swallowed, she takes the slice from his hands, turn her head to glance back at him. ]

Do you have blackouts often, Dave? Should I be concerned?
