I was thinking something more off-grid that converts the hammock swinging into a churning action, but that's also working on the assumption you're comfortably pushing yourself with a foot.

[starkinternship]

or pulling with a bit of webbing

[ spider solutions! ]

[engineous]

So you're volunteering to be the power source, perfect.

[starkinternship]

we can take turns.
you can pull webbing too.

[engineous]

If we lay side by side and each stick an arm out, we'd have it easy holding one web each.

[starkinternship]

we could
fair warning that the amount of ice cream we can make this way is kinda limited

[engineous]

Gonna be honest, babe. I forgot this was an ice cream making scheme.

[starkinternship]

i dunno if that means you have a serious one-track mind and you went into the gutter or if you just got caught up in the idea of building something

[ the 2nd he finds absolutely adorable, btw ]

[engineous]

The second one. Were we talking about sex at some point?

[starkinternship]

see, if i asked that, you'd say something like, 'it's always about sex'

[engineous]

Maybe, but also we're sort of to the point where it isn't all about sex.

[starkinternship]

it kinda never was
wanting to be with you wasn't just about that

[engineous]

So you would've wanted to be together even if we never had sex?

[starkinternship]

yes

[engineous]

You're so cute Pete

[starkinternship]

because sleeping with you wasn't a requirement for wanting to date you?

[engineous]

Because you liked me enough that it didn't matter.

[starkinternship]

aren't you supposed to like the people you date?

[engineous]

Most of the people I've been with haven't been as wholesome as you. Some people just like people sexually or focus on that.

[starkinternship]

no, i get that. i know some people do the fwb thing. that's not what i meant. i meant like actually dating. dating in the traditional sense.

[engineous]

Some people are like that with dating, too. Or they want to be with someone rich and famous who's good in bed even if they don't care about them as a person. Like I said, not everyone is good like you are.

[starkinternship]

ok - yeah, not those people. i don't see that as really 'dating'. that's gold-digging and gross.

[ offensive gross. ]

clearly i'm just more honest?
because if all i wanted was to sleep with you, i'd've just said that

[ maybe. eventually. from behind a tree. ]

[engineous]

Really? You would've said "Mr Stark, let's be fuck buddies" and seduced me?

[starkinternship]

um - well, probably not *exactly* like that

[ definitely not exactly like that ]

i'd have to kinda scope out the territory first. make sure you weren't gonna just laugh in my face

[ because that'd be hugely embarrassing and he'd have to move to the north pole or something ]

[engineous]

I'm curious about what life is like in this parallel universe where you can scope out fuck buddy potential AND seduce me once it's been confirmed. I kinda want to see that side of you.

And because I know you're gonna start thinking a mile a minute, I'm not wishing for anything different between us or how we started dating. You were already really confident to kiss me first.
