I would not ask if I did not mean it. [ He shifts closer, leaning a bit into his personal space. ] What do I have to do or say to convince you of my veracity?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Glances up at him when he leans in]

Ask at least one more time.

[regulate]

[ The space between them disappears even more, waiting for him to jerk away. ]

Please collaborate with me.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

[Locks eyes with him from behind his sunglasses, not moving an inch]

Once more.

[regulate]

[ He's touching noses by now as he holds Jewel's gaze. ]

Please collaborate with me. I will not ask again.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

In that case....ask again and I will say yes.

[regulate]

[ The worst.

He gives him a tired look and places a hand on Jewel's face, using that to push him back and away. ]

Who said you could sleep on my bed without permission?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Not going to ask then?

[regulate]

I said I would not, and you have reached your limit of my requests. I do not exist for your amusement.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You really are too much. What will you lose if you loosen up a little, huh? You can't control everything, Friday.

[regulate]

[ Oh, he can't? Watch him try!!! no, he already failed at that ]

How exactly do you propose I "loosen up a little"?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You could stop worrying so much about all that pride. Would it kill you to ask me again? What you supposedly want is right there and all you have to do is bend a little. You really won't bend that much?

[regulate]

[ His mouth thins into a flat line before he glances away, his fingers curling in his lap before he tries again: ]

I would like you to sing with me on one song for your comeback.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

All right then, I will. See? Now was that so hard?

[regulate]

[ His wings twitch in irritation. Maybe it wasn't that hard for Aventurine... ]

Thank you for agreeing to it. Now, do you plan to spend the entire evening here?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

We could have a sleepover to celebrate our collaboration.

[regulate]

And where do you expect me to sleep for this "sleepover"?

[gottalearntoplayitright]

Awwwww, too cool to share a bed with me?

[regulate]

[ He frowns as he doesn't want to cause more offense after getting Jewel to finally agree on a collab, and really, Friday is the only one with a problem here... ]

I will sleep on the opposite end then, though I will forewarn you I am an exceedingly light sleeper.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I will sleep so lightly you won’t even know I’m here.

[regulate]

Too late. I already know you are here.

[ But he's curling up on the opposite end at the very edge. ]

This sleepover will be over if I hear you snore.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

I don’t snore. Probably.

[regulate]

[ He's kicking him off the bed if he's lying. ]

Sweet dreams, Jewel.

[gottalearntoplayitright]

You’re going to sleep already…? Don’t you want to stay up and gossip?

[regulate]

[ He sighs and rolls over to face him. ]

What exactly do you wish to gossip about? I do not have any industry secrets if that is what you are hoping to find out.
