aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
1st kiss: chaste, like she traded him a candy bar for it and he knew he had confession later in the day
2nd kiss: worse, they try some #tongue action but end up drooling on each other and dave still has oreo residue jammed in his teeth (she does love chocolate though)
5th kiss: u know when you scrape your teeth on something and it makes a really awful noise? that but in a kiss. they go back to watching netflix instead
9th kiss: rose starts laughing bc she thought of a meme
17th kiss: she insists even though he’s playing dmc 3 on dante must die mode, he dies against nevan because rose is a damn temptress, a terrible siren who’s lost her wings, perched on the edge of the couch and drawing his attention with the vibrato in her voice and the part of her lips
35th kiss: she dropped her favorite mug, all because he snuck up behind her and kissed her sweet, drew his hands up to her neck and warmed the skin touched by winter chill.
86th kiss: another slow kiss ruined, this time by sonic 2006
278th kiss: “How do you know what number we’re on? You can’t possibly be keeping track.”
3487th kiss: given quick, on the corner of his mouth before she rolls over to sleep.
customer: thank you
me: have a nice day!
me internally: rose would intentionally smear her lipstick all over daves face after luring him in w a kiss. then he’d lick her eye to try and get her to let go
i could barely complete this thought bc it was too #real but dave and rose complete each other bye im digging my grave
im mostly thinking abt how dave and rose work togethrer in a way that like…. no other pair of characters do since they end up w all this burdenous knowledge of game mechanics and foresight that leaves them no choice but to weigh their lives against the success of everyone else and its such a traumatizing and unique situation theres no one else who they could find solace in after having lived through it when they were utterly prepared to die ….. i havent read homestuck on years idk what im going on about. i love them
i feel like im making everything up 100% of the time anyway the quiet acceptance they find in each other without having to speak bc theyve both lived and shared the fear of being powerless at the whims of forces greater than themselves IM A BROKEN RECORD SORRY BUT THIS IS WHAT FUCKIN GETS ME ABT THEM AAAAAAAAA
dave: merry christmas i went to build a bear workshop and made you a minion
rose: What a surprise, I went to Build-A-Bear workshop and crafted a minion for you as well
dave: what a coincidence that we would both gift each other minions in a completely ironic and not in any way secretly pleasurable manor. of course we knew the other would in no way enjoy these hellish yellow beans
me: glad im finally rid of homestuck forever
someone: dersecest
me: im digging my own grave with my bare hands as i think about how in both timelines shown dave and rose were fated to die together, and possibly in others, and also they have such intrinsic knowledge of the other it is natural they would confide and find comfort among themselves
