Oh hey, what's up?
[There's a pause, perhaps you should tell him why you called. At least until he interrupts...]
Hey, that's cool, but guess what?!
[Another short pause, perhaps you should guess what is so important that John felt the need to interrupt your surely riveting story.]
I am not actually here right now! So leave me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can!
[You cannot hope to beat John Egbert in a prank-off. He is simply the best there is.]
Hehehehe...you totally fell for it, didn't you?
[Beep!]

Daddy dearest, there are two problems with what you are suggesting. One, it can't be making out if tongue is not involved, and I assure you my tongue is a very active participant even if his is not. And two, his butt is my favorite part of him. I'm sorry, but if you remove that we will have to have a serious discussion. I'm afraid this conversation however will have to come to an end, as John's lips are about to be otherwise occupied.
[[With a wink shuts it off.]]
Action;
It takes even longer for him to realize and remember that they're now in the same city and that he can actually DO SOMETHING about it instead of just sitting there angry and indignant. He can be proactive. So that's why he is! He is marching his goddamn way to their hotel room.
And pounding the hell out of it.
You're lucky that he didn't just fucking kick it down, because he thought about it. He just doesn't want to walk in on them making out.
so.
WHAM WHAM WHAM MOTHERFUCKERS.]
Action;
[He doesn't speak again until Rose hangs up.]
Rose...what are you doing!? I am pretty sure I'm still on thin ice with Bro already and I am almost positive that that didn't--
[WHAM WHAM WHAM.]
Oh fuck...
Action;
[[And that's all she's got to say on the matter before cracking the door open, waiting to make sure he won't go to hit the door and accidentally hit her instead or something before opening it more than just a crack.]]
Hello, dad.
Re: Action;
[If he had accidentally hit her or anything, man he would have felt so bad. It's a good thing that didn't happen.
He stares at her with a flat expression.]
You better be wearing clothes.
Action;
Action;
I'm givin you plenty of credit, but that look you had on your face suggested waaay more than making out! And I'm sure he knows how to swap spit, I was just trying to be insulting because I was- am pissy. You shouldn't even be making out with tongue at all!
Action; Casually deletes last tag for bad math
I'm fifteen. If fifteen isn't old enough for making out, what age is? I mean honestly, this is about when teenagers start becoming more curious in the romantic aspects of relationships, so it's a very healthy exploration isn't it? And we've already talked about things going 'too fast' if we start making out. He knows there are boundaries that I maintain, and he completely respects them.
Plus, we're not married, so it's not like he'd cross them.
[[Don't be scared, Bro. She doesn't seem upset at least? She is very patient. u u]]
ages in homestuck are a bitch
Because Rose is his baby 8(
His baby girl who he never really got to know. And now he's trying to make up for it, and maybe he's going about it all wrong. He just doesn't know how else to do it. And he just wants to protect her! Make up for all those times he wasn't ever there and stuff.
So why does it feel like he keeps making mistakes?]
Yeah, but... just. Why can't you just kiss normally? Y'know, little smooches without the tongue. Why's it gotta be all French up in there with you? That's way too much like foreplay. People get carried away all the time. You two could do that! That ain't me not giving you guys credit, it's just, like... A fact of puberty!
they really are. even with route here to make it easy they're hard.
It's not like we make out all the time. A large majority of our kisses are just little smooches without tongue, I promise.
sobs one day maybe it will be easy
[He sighs, in what sounds like defeat. He's tired of having this conversation, because he knows that he can't actually stop them. That's the frustrating part. It's not like he wasn't doing worse at her age. But... he doesn't want to admit that. Or admit that he has an obvious double standard.
Bro's life is suffering.]
Fine. Whatever. It's obvious that you have no reason or inclination to listen to a damn thing I say, so go ahead. Kiss the fuck away.
[He's just gonna turn to leave now, because he's getting frustrated for a lot of different reasons, and it's better that if he doesn't stay.]
as long as hussie writes the comic, never.
Bro, you're getting a tentative hug from behind. Tentative because she doesn't know how he feels about hugs, but if it's anything like Dave he's probably not used to them.]]
I never said I won't listen.
no subject
He relaxes slightly when she says that, but it just makes him even more unsure what to say.]
That isn't the impression I've gotten so far, Rose. The impression I've gotten so far is that I'm just a joke for you to laugh at whenever I try and tell you what to do, or involve myself in anything.
no subject
Man what are people skills.]]
I've...never meant for it to come off that way.
no subject
When she says that, it's hard to believe it, if only because he's just so upset right now. But he takes a deep breath, trying to calm down.]
Put yourself in my place and tell me how else I'm supposed to take it.
[His voice is quiet, but he's trying not to sound as upset as he feels. For the most part, he's succeeding.]
I'm not used to this, Rose. I don't know what the fuck I'm doin'. But you're not cutting me any slack. Neither of you are. Like you both expect me to do it right when I'm trying as hard as I fuckin' can!
[No, there's a quiver to it now that he can't fucking shake, and it just hurts him right in his fucking pride, because god damn it he shouldn't be getting this emotional over it. Fuck him. Fuck this all. But he can't move, because her arms are still around him, and tugging out of her grip would just hurt even more, because on some level he doesn't want her to let go.]
Sorry, I just... I dunno. Whatever. It's fine. I'm fine, you should just go back to John.
no subject
It would be completely unrealistic to expect you to get it right immediately, and I would never do that, but...you're not the only one getting used to this. I've never had a father. Nor have I really had...such a strong parental figure.
[[Sure she's had mom, but between the drinking and their passive aggressive games which were probably more pa on her part and less on her mom's part, it was never really...a 'don't you do this, your mother said so' situation. Sure she listened when her mother was serious but...]]
And well...I think we need to sit down and talk for a while. Just you and me. Because obviously we both need to figure each other out...because I promise it was never my intention to make you feel like a fool for trying to be a father.

You... wanna go get somethin' to eat, then?
