Room 324, Late Thursday Morning

[vanillajello]

"-- So then what? ...Oh, oh, like in that movie? You know. ...What do you mean, you don't? We watched it like three times in a row last spring when I had the-- Yes. That one. With the guy with the hair and the--"

Back in Overland Park, T was out, for some reason or other.

It meant that here in Fandom, Kate was sprawled on her bed with her phone clamped to her ear, getting updated on the stupid things morning television had to offer, and the things T would've liked to do later in the day if she wouldn't have been likely to be too lazy and too high to leave the house.

Kate was snickering a lot. "... Eww, T, that's disgusting."

There were worse ways to spend a morning.

"I wouldn't believe you anyway," he told her, shaking his head. "It's interesting, I've only touched you in a few places and you've reacted every time. Perhaps you're just overly sensitive?"

[vanillajello]

Her turn to shake her head, pursing her lips. "I'm not."

[therewaslife]

"You're something," he said, ducking down almost kiss her again before stopping himself. "Perhaps I just don't have the word yet."

[vanillajello]

"I'm Kate," she replied, enunciating her words carefully, lips brushing against his. Not kissing. Talking. "I think that will have to do."

[therewaslife]

"Hullo, Kate," Bod said, trying not to laugh too loudly since he was so close. "How are you?"

[vanillajello]

"I've been worse," Kate smirked. "Far, far worse. And yourself?"

[therewaslife]

"Very well, thank you," he said, nodding. "Are you pleased with my experimentation thus far?"

[vanillajello]

"I am," she confirmed with a soft chuckle. "So far, it's worth at least a B plus."

[therewaslife]

"A B plus?" he asked, raising an eyebrow. "So, there's room for improvement. Do I get any hints as to where?"

[vanillajello]

"There's always room for improvement." A beat. "And I did say at least." A smirk. "And I'm afraid you'll just have to figure that one out on your own."

[therewaslife]

"I think I know one thing I could do." One thing he'd been purposefully holding off on just because he cold. "Perhaps that might help?"

[vanillajello]

Kate shrugged. Or did something that would've looked more like a shrug in another kind of situation. "I won't know until you try it."

[therewaslife]

"That's dangerous. I could do anything." What he was thinking of was not dangerous at all. "Very trusting."

[vanillajello]

"Well, I'm a very trusting person." No she wasn't. "It's one of my best qualities."

[therewaslife]

"All the better for me," he said and finally decided he'd just shut his mouth and do what he'd been alluding to. He was close enough that closing that last tiny bit of distance didn't take too long before he finally was kissing her.

At least she didn't have to resist anymore?

[vanillajello]

No more resisting; just making a low, short sound of appreciation, and kissing him back, which was a lot nicer. Also, running her fingers through his hair.

[therewaslife]

Bod figured that grade of his would get bumped up slightly at this but he wasn't going to stop and ask or anything like that. That would have been stupid.

Instead, he let a little more of his weight settle against her without breaking that kiss, getting himself a little more comfortable in order to prevent his poor wrists from collapsing.

[vanillajello]

Collapsing wrists would have definitely been bad, Kate would've had to agree. If she'd been bothering to think about things like that, or anything, which she wasn't. Because mmm, lips.

Comfort, though, was more instinctive, and she shifted a little bit without thinking about it at all, to better accommodate him. The more comfortable they were, the longer they could keep this up, right?

[therewaslife]

Bod couldn't help but agree with that sentiment. He was comfortable enough now and, considering this wasn't a position he found himself in often, probably wouldn't have stopped, comfort or not.

But that was just one thought at the back of his mind. Most of his focus was going into kissing her, of course. Concentrating on the feel and the taste and all those other small observations that one could only make when doing this.

Hey, no one said he couldn't learn things when he was enjoying himself.

[vanillajello]

And Kate was more than happy to provide a pleasant learning experience. It was one for her, as well. Not in general, but concerning him, specifically. It wasn't a conscious thing, of course, but details were being filed away to be remembered later.

The main point was that she was enjoying it. A lot. Which was probably evident from the way she was kissing him, and yes, his grade was definitely going up.

[therewaslife]

Which only meant he shouldn't stop to keep his grade high, of course. Bod shifted a bit, only enough where he could move his hand up to her face, fingers sliding across her cheek and around her ear.

Bod wasn't nearly as versed in these things as Kate was (he'd blame his upbringing on that) but he knew a few things and he wanted to put them to good use. This was pretty far removed from their light kiss of the other day and Bod kind of liked that.

[vanillajello]

No, compared to this, that had been a rehearsal, a test drive, all about getting a feel for it. This was more like the real thing, and Kate really kind of liked that.

The fingers of one hand slid to stroke the back of his neck, just barely under his shirt, with a slightly teasing edge to the way she did it.

She could get used to this.

[therewaslife]

It wasn't anything major, the feeling of her fingers on his neck, but there was something about it that caused him to shiver just a bit. It wasn't something he could give much thought to at the current moment other than knowing he liked it.

Almost instinctively, he pressed a little closer to her, a little more of his weight against her, and not one change in kissing her despite that movement. Bod figured she wouldn't mind the touching, all things considered.

[vanillajello]

There were no objections. More like a slight arching of her back, to press back up against him for a moment before relaxing again. If that didn't signal that yes, touching was more than welcome, then nothing would.

One hand stayed where it was, caressing his neck, while the other found its way to his side. And the kissing, of course, continued.

[therewaslife]

Somewhere in the back of Bod's mind, he knew he was going to have to breathe at some point but that point wasn't now. Soon but not now.

Taking her shifting as encouragement, he wound one of his legs around hers, pulling himself a little more over her since it was either that or plaster himself against her side. So, he went with the other option, the more bold option but Bod wasn't dumb, he could see they both liked this and he could take that chance.
