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.

Comments

[vanillajello]

That had almost been the point, even. Taking away his ability to concentrate, then giving it back again. Yes, Kate was both opportunistic, and a little bit manipulative, but at least she wasn't using her powers for evil.

She also approved of any and all eagerness, grinning briefly against his lips, happy to concentrate on kissing him and enjoying it.

[therewaslife]

Yes, Bod was already making a note to remark on those powers once he got the ability to talk back. Right now, that wasn't happening but rest assured, he wasn't going to forget.

He'd just talk later. After. Soon. Something. He didn't even know anymore.

[vanillajello]

It was all getting a little fuzzy, yes, but they were here, and they were doing this now, and it was good, and that was all Kate needed to know.

Well, that and remembering the whole breathing issue, but it wasn't time to worry about that yet.

[therewaslife]

That whole breathing issue was a pesky one but it wouldn't be ignored for too long, unfortunately. Bod had answers for a lot of things but that wasn't one of them.

Instead, he scaled his kiss back a little, less eager, more lazy and probably easier to get a breath or two in a minute if he wasn't all the way keyed up. Still didn't pull away though. Couldn't just quit on a dime like that.

[vanillajello]

No, better to just ease out of it. Kate could deal with that. Reluctantly, but she could. Not like she wanted him to pass out or anything. And it felt like a good idea to slow things down a little bit, anyway.

Her fingers were in his hair again, but it was more idle than teasing.

[therewaslife]

Passing out would probably make a really good morning a little less good. Not to mention she probably wouldn't let him forget it. Or that he wouldn't let himself forget it and not want to kiss anyone again.

So, yes, Bod didn't want to pass out. He didn't want to stop kissing her either but he knew he had to so he eventually did pull away so he could get some breaths and try and banish the pink tinge that'd popped up on his cheeks.

[vanillajello]

Kate watched him for a moment, just breathing – because while she hadn't been anywhere near her limit, she wasn't completely unaffected by making out with a cute guy, seriously now – and smirking up at him a little.

Then she broke the silence, saying, "... Well."

[therewaslife]

"Yes. Well." Certainly not what Bod expected when he'd come to visit this morning. And that definitely wasn't a bad thing where he was standing.

[vanillajello]

Not a bad thing at all.

"Nice."

... Unlike Kate's conversational skills at this very moment.

[therewaslife]

"Very."

Well, he wasn't doing any better.

"Yes."

[vanillajello]

Kate chuckled. "Nice enough to do again sometime?"

[therewaslife]

"Yes, definitely. If that's all right with you?" He didn't think she'd ask if she didn't want that but it was always better to make sure.

[vanillajello]

"No, it's not, now get the fuck off me and my bed," she deadpanned before showing him an amused smile. "'Course it's all right. More than all right."

[therewaslife]

"Then, yes again sometime," he said, nodding and laughing a bit. "We should."

[vanillajello]

"Definitely," she agreed, nodding. Smirking lightly. "And more, even, maybe. Someday."

[therewaslife]

"Someday," he agreed before slowly sliding off to one side so he could get his weight off her and get his feet on the ground. "I don't think I'd be against that."

[vanillajello]

"I'd call you a dumbass if you were," she decided cheerfully, shifting a bit because while she'd been comfortable, there was something to be said for the freedom of movement when there wasn't anyone lying on top of her. "I mean look at me. I'm awesome."

[therewaslife]

"And I'd hate for you to think of me as a dumbass," he said, shaking his head and standing or he'd end up staying in her bed for the rest of the day. Not a bad idea but...for another time.

"I do like looking at you though," he said, nodding. "So, I can keep doing that."

[vanillajello]

"I know you like that, you wrote it on my hand," she replied, pushing herself up to sitting on the bed and crossing her legs. "And I like being looked at, so that works out fabulously."

[therewaslife]

"Right," he said and chuckled. "I should get going, leave you to your day. It's been..."

Bod trailed off and laughed.

"Nice."

Understatement.

[vanillajello]

"Nice. Yeah."

Kate snickered. "Go before I pull you back in. I should probably call T back, anyway. See if she's still around, and whether she's developed any new delusions."

[therewaslife]

"I'll see you later," Bod said, nodding once more before he slipped out of her room and headed to his original destination.
