Dennis is up and already starting to do a quick clean up. Grabbing things and tossing them in the trash, going to his room to pick up his dirty clothes, make the bed real quick. Yep. Joe might be able to tell he's doing this, from the noises as he talks.]
[ He laughs quietly. The little bell that signals someone on the city trolley wanting to get off at the next stop rings somewhere in the background. He's not on it, just passing by. ]
You're not cleaning for my sake, are you? I'm not coming over for your apartment.
[ The tone of Dennis' voice makes Joe smile, a tiny huff of a laugh escaping him. Admittedly, he kind of loves it when Dennis talks like that, even if he's usually being cheeky when it happens. ]
[ Joe's standing on the other side, one hand tucked into his front pocket, and the other still holding the phone up to his ear. He smiles when he sees Dennis, but doesn't hang up just yet. Instead, he sucks in a quiet breath through his teeth. ]
Yeah, I have to go now too. I met this really handsome guy a while ago, thought I'd pay him a visit, so - talk to you later?
[ His left eye squints just slightly, very quickly, like a phantom wink, and Joe hangs up finally, his fingers closed around his phone. He's still looking at Dennis - hasn't looked away from him since he opened the door. ]
[There's a smile breaking across his lips when Joe calls him handsome, when he winks. This is so stupid honestly, but at the same time he likes when they fool around like this. All silly and such.
He'll hang up next, casually stuffing his phone into his pants pocket.]
Hi.
[Dennis tilts his head up just a bit, wondering what this is all about. It's not like they don't hang out just for the hell of it, there just tends to be more of a warning. Joe usually isn't already on his way. He wonders if something is up, but the way Joe is looking at him makes it hard to care.]
[ Joe has the decency to look a little bit shocked. To be fair, it's probably not all acting - he's not shocked, but he is a little bit confused, wondering if maybe he's forgotten some kind of code word they came up with a thousand years ago. Joe doesn't really forget things, though (sometimes he wishes he could), so it's got to be Dennis just playing around.
He crosses his arms, moving forward a little to lean his shoulder against the wall next to the door frame, looking down at Dennis. ]
[ Joe cranes his head down a bit, but otherwise stays where he is, leaning against the wall. He presses his lips together and considers just barreling inside, picking Dennis up over his shoulder along the way, but for now he decides to play along with whatever game Dennis has just made up.
[ He attempts to look unamused, and for the most part he pulls it off, passing a roll of his eyes off as a casual upward glance. He exhales through his nose, then shrugs the shoulder not pressed against the wall. ]
We could be here all day.
[ Despite his attempt to appear inconvenienced, the corner of his mouth curls a little with a ghost of a smirk. The way Dennis rocks from heel to toe and back again is actually a little bit endearing, but he knows exactly what he's getting at.
Joe tilts in a little closer, but still keeps some space between them. ]

[Can Joe hear that cute little smile on his face as he says it? Cause it's there.]
I needed a reason to pick my shit up, you're the best reason, so... and you already on your way here?

[... what you want to shower with him? Just get him dirty again.]
no subject
[ One minute... ]
no subject
[Dennis deepens his voice to try and sound all sexy, mysterious... he just sounds goofy. And adorable.]
no subject
I mean, that's why I asked.
[ Knock knock, dear. ]
no subject
He's quick to go answer, phone still held to his ear as he opens the door.]
Hey, I gotta go. This real fit guy just showed up at my doorstep. Gonna let him in.
no subject
Yeah, I have to go now too. I met this really handsome guy a while ago, thought I'd pay him a visit, so - talk to you later?

You can't come in. Not without the pass code.
[He's being cheeky now, blocking the doorway.]

Oh yeah? Since when do I need a passcode?
no subject
[Don't you come closer to him you handsome giant man. Stay where you are.]
Might take bribes if you can't tell me what it is.
[Like kisses. Kisses are good bribes.]
no subject
He sucks in a breath through his teeth. ]
... Do I get a hint?
no subject
What's the fun in that?
[He rocks on his feet, heel to toes, pursing his lips a little. C'mon, Joe. Give him a kiss.]

Are you sure you can't just whisper it to me?
