Everything is pretty boring nowadays.
I suppose so. A bit rude not to apologize but sure, the thought can count this time.
Yeah, it’s been damn quiet, and I hate that.
Well I don’t see no need to apologise, really. But if you insist, I will. I’ll shown manners when necessary, mind you.
…messed up? but i thought you liked it? you’re the one who made me look this way anyways.
>You’re even more confused— Oh wait. Not your Bro. So… That must mean you aren’t his Dave. Funny. You haven’t seen any other Daves. Timelines? No— You don’t have any power over those. Universes? Maybe.
but. you have to get TM’d. y’know. its a rule. everyone does it.
i… i actually didn’t know you looked like this.
>You back away a little. This might just be a little scary, even for you. Bro doesn’t look young, but he must be. It’s a rule to be TM’d. And you don’t think that you can handle other’s being allowed to not follow the rules, when the rules did this to you.
Well I sure as hell didn’t make you that way, that’s for certain.
[Now you were more confused, too. What exactly did this ‘TM’ do to Dave, and why’d he get it? And why’d his Bro make him get it? Many questions ran through your head, and it didn’t seem like there was an answer coming anytime soon.]
Well so far, I’ve only seen you TMed, that much I know. So it doesn’t seem like everyone’s got it.
[He didn’t seem to want to calm down anytime soon, as the backing up made you assume he was afraid. Truth be told, you were incredibly unsettled yourself. “Just what the hell is going on?”, you asked yourself. “And why?”]
“And that’s why we need so much time to plan!” she added, taking his hand. “But we can plan it after we cuddle. Because we have missed some important cuddle time within the absence of each other, and we must make up for it!”
She sighed at his remark, but a small smile still remained. “Well, if they are your friends, I will be sure not to harm them. You will not have to worry. And I would like some help getting more of a handle on some aspects of human life, they are very confusing sometimes. Like that television. It’s strange.”
She dropped his hand suddenly, and instead took his face in her hands, cupping it carefully, softly. “Your eyes may appear strange to others, but they are not strange to me. I have seen many bright eyes on those of my kind, but yours are, by far, the most stunning I have ever seen.”
With a deepened blush and a soft laugh, she released him from her hands and smiled, adding a quiet thank you about his final remark.
Yup, we gotta plan! But of course, before that, we gotta cuddle! A lot, of course! There hasn’t been enough cuddlin’ ‘round here, so we need to change that! [He squeezed her hand lightly and began to cuddle her.]
Good! I know you’re disappointed, but we humans aren’t as tough as you Other Selves, and you gotta remember that! I’ll teach you all about this stuff like I said, don’t worry! And definitely don’t worry about the TV, hon’.
[He grinned at her and thanked her back, staring into her eyes longingly.] Glad you like ‘em. I guess it makes sense that you’ve seen eyes like yours a lot, but they’re not so deeply green like yours. They’re so unique to me. It’s beautiful. Your eyes are definitely the most stunning I’ve seen. They’re captivating.
Man, I need more sleep. I’m outta here.
DM nodded in agreement, giving Bro another smile. “No, it really doesn’t hurt to be prepared. If anyone should be prepared, it’s us!”
Her face flushed a light green and she kissed his cheek with a quiet laugh. “I would love to stay the night with you, Bro. Night have been so lonely without you there to hold. I would love nothing more than to spend the night with you!”
“I don’t think I’ll ever get a handle on any of the idioms! But, at least I have you here to help me figure them out. And, well, I still think they’re annoying and deserve at least a shallow wound. It doesn’t have to be mortal or anything! Sorry about the television, by the way. It just kept mocking me!”
The blush deepened when he took off his shades, and she couldn’t help but steal a kiss from his lips. “But… ah, that infernal talking box aside, have I ever mentioned how much I love your eyes? They’re very handsome. I missed them along with all of you~”
Yeeeaaahhh, things we do tend to go awry without plannin’, huh? That’s why we usually need to plan ahead a lot just in case, right? [He smiled back and nodded.]
[He chuckled and nodded once more, his smile less wide, but still happy.] Alright! That’s good. That’s very good. It’s been damn lonely without you, can I just say. Havin’ you stay would be great….. Not gonna lie, I sorta wanna cuddle you. Like, a lot.
“Well, maybe you won’t, but for non-humans it’s difficult to understand, y’know? But I’ll help you get a handle on all the confusin’ aspects of human life. And yeah, they’re annoyin’ at times, but I’m good friends with some of ‘em and I don’t think they deserve any wounds as it is. They go through enough already, we don’t need to add to that. It’s fine ‘bout the TV, I bought another.
[He gladly accepted the kiss and chuckled again, taking a kiss back in response.] A few times, yeah. I always thought my eyes were a tad strange, and I really don’t know where from or how I got them, but I’m glad you like them. I really like your eyes, I think your neon green eyes are just really awesome. And beautiful too. Like, damn.
Hello I’m Aranea Serket. It is a pleasure to meet you.
You must 8e another 8ro I have seen roaming around the site, yes?
I have met an altern8 of yours so I know your nickname from there.
8ut anyways, how have you 8e doing as of l8?
Yep, I’m known as Bro Strider, as you may already know, which apparently you do.
Pleasure meetin’ you, Aranea. Been damn long since I’ve seen a Serket’ round here.
I’ve been doin’ pretty damn well as o’ late. What ‘bout you, lil’ miss? You been doin’ okay?
different..?
>Oh right, of course. If your Bro looked, well, normal, then that must mean his Dave looked normal too, right? But still, you don’t like the idea of other Daves running around.
i.. guess? you know? TM? mutation.
where’s your mutation??
>You make a little screeching sound after. You aren’t sure what your emotions are doing— You’re glad you got to see Bro. But you’re also angry he gets to be normal, while you’re not. And lastly, not sure whether or not you feel bad for him seeing you like this.
Yeah, you look all… messed up.
[Well his Bro was obviously different, but he didn’t seem to think he was abnormal at all, so maybe he didn’t know about the other Dave’s. That was odd, there were dozens around.]
I still got not clue what TM is, but if mutation’s involved….
I don’ think I want any part in it.
[That screech sounded…… happy? Maybe? You didn’t know anymore, his emotions were harder to read than yours were, and yours were damn hard to read. Nonetheless, he seemed happy to see you, so that was a good thing, you guessed.]
Fuck this, I’m goin’ back to sleep.
