Klaus's attempts at 1960s vernacular slang are about as successful as his other experiments, although not as physically painful as licked batteries and failed pudding waxes (though his platoon might disagree). But Dave is right there offering his time and attention for Klaus's use and Klaus is not prepared at all for what they stumble on together when one particular term lands harder than it should. He's not prepared for anything he digs up with Dave but he isn't alone so maybe it'll be okay. Maybe. [AKA the Daddy Kink Fic Of Feelings]
