[ In hindsight, Wade probably should have asked first. But, as usual, this crazy wheelbarrow full of cancer didn't think it through. Thank god he hasn't somehow sabotaged himself out of something really wonderful. ]
I really, really did. It was really nice for me, felt good to be comfortable in my own skin again.
You usually make me feel that way regardless which I... realize I've never told you before.
[Once again, in what is becoming a startlingly familiar conversation in his head, David feels like he should probably be mad about this. But it was a really good dream. Nothing bad happened in it. A lot of good things happened in it. So why spoil what was ultimately a good thing? His boundaries are being tested astonishingly often with Wade, but maybe...maybe that's what he needs? Someone to push his buttons a little. Push him a little more out of his comfort zone. Whatever it is, it's working so far.]
It was good to see you that way. Comfortable, I mean.
I do?
[That gets him reeling a little. He'd never self-describe as someone who goes out of their way to make other people feel comfortable. He certainly hasn't tried to do it for Wade. But somehow he's done it anyway? He's just been treating him like...someone he cares for. Someone worthy of his attention and affection. But god, it makes him feel good to hear that. It's disgustingly warm and fuzzy.
[ Likewise, David manages him, has Wade wrapped around his finger so tight that it tempers his crazy. David is good for Wade in this respect β and as an added bonus, is doing the rest of this planet a solid. An unattached, unhinged Deadpool is a disaster waiting to happen without the people he cares about, which kind of sums up the first few acts of Deadpool 2. ]
You really, really do. It's one of the reasons I'm so crazy about you.
[Crazy about you. Jesus, the way that makes a flush immediately crawl up David's neck is ridiculous. David has to put his phone down and take a lap around his kitchen just to regain his composure.]
Crazy is an understatement. Want to get dinner soon?
[ And that drawn-out silence makes Wade keenly aware of how hard his heart is beating. He taps out a response really quickly. ]
I was thinking of getting take-out, eventually.
[ But okay, he shouldn't tease. Wade knows what he's suggesting. He just can't help himself, because David asking him on a date is new, and while not a mind-blowing leap of logic, it sure as hell feels good. ]
Yes, I'm asking you on a date. You're my boyfriend, after all. π
[He can't resist sassing Wade right back. But it also distracts from the way his stomach is fucking churning right now. His finger hovers over the 'send' button for a second, before he rolls his eyes at himself and presses it.]
[ God, it's embarrassing how delighted Wade feels being called that. ]
I'm never going to get tired of hearing that.
What time am I picking you up? If you leave it up to me, I'd just come over now. And that's just asking for trouble Unless you want to be on the menu.π
[ Wade considers slipping in a Bob's Burgers joke, but the writers of that fame are currently working the script of Deadpool 3, so best not to tempt fate. ]
I've bought one out of a vending machine in Singapore, still haven't met a burger I didn't like. Is this a favorite of yours or someplace new?
Technically, yes. That night all hell broke loose doesn't count, although I would argue there were some romantic overtures in parts.
[ Okay, maybe 90% of that night was a mish-mash of nightmarish and sexually charged. 10% of it romantic if you're being really liberal with the term, which he is. He does remember that David's recollection of the events of that night is a bit fuzzy. ]
[ Wade remembers what he'd said the first time he showed up at his apartment, but that was a different time, and right now he's keen on doting on his boyfriend's every whim. ]
[ He writes it out several times, but each time it looks stupid. He feels stupid. This is not a big deal and yet he's making a mountain out of a mole hill. ]
I want to take a bath with you.
Is that weird?
[ Of all the freaky shit he's done with him, this one is the one that embarrasses him. It's sappy as shit. ]

I have things to do tonight and sadly none of them are you.
Tomorrow night at 8?

[ Real mature, Wade. ]
8pm, tomorrow. Dress code? The mask pretty much goes with anything.

I've never tried this place but I've been craving like a really juicy burger.
This would technically be our third date, right?

Why do you ask?
no subject
Well, you said something about hello kitty handcuffs being a third date thing
So I was just wondering if that was on the table.
no subject
oh my god
okay so I don't have those cuffs yet
but I definitely have you covered on restraints
follow-up q: what material do you prefer? I got your standard steel handcuffs, silk rope, leather cuffs and binders, duct tape, fuzzy cuffs...
no subject
Tsk tsk.
Leather. Nice leather.
no subject
...Who's wearing these?

Guess we'll see what kind of mood we're in tomorrow π
no subject
π You really know how to motivate me, don't you?
I do have one teensy-tiny request.
no subject
What's that?
no subject
no subject
Why?
no subject
...okay, you answered my question.
[ He sure did say 'request' without actually making one. Is he chickening out? Because all signs point to yes. ]
no subject
And what's your request?
[He very much wants to see where this is going, okay.]
no subject
I want to take a bath with you.
