Weeping Angel A4, Friday After Classes

[vanillajello]

Kate was fighting a losing battle.

Namely, one of trying to stuff all her surprise luggage under her bed. There were just too many. They would never fit. But she just had to try. Not like she wanted them just laying around, when they had labels like Too much responsibility, Pushed around by skeevy guys and Heart bruised by Southern idiot.

And of course, that one fucking luggage set with the label Crazy mother issues.

Eventually though, she just gave up, letting a few of the bags that wouldn't fit just stay in sight. She was just going to flop down on the bed and be thankful that at least she'd been able to push that one black leather bag (which for some reason looked like an old-fashioned doctor's bag, and which had the words That one awful Saturday labelled on it) as far back under the bed as it would go.

Fucking Fandom.

Comments

Bod could feel the change in her quickly and he responded in kind, meeting her intensity with some of his own, pouring a little bit of his own neediness, something he didn't show too often, into it.

He kept his hand against her heart, fingers pressing down a little more firmly. It wasn't her actual heart, he knew that, but he could keep this one warm, keep it shielded from the outside world for a bit.

[vanillajello]

And she would let him. Wasn't that exactly what she wanted? Needed. Did. Something like that.

She'd just keep kissing him, and stroking his neck, and conveying some of the things she never said through both of those actions. Hoping she did, anyway.

[therewaslife]

Bod twisted around just a bit, moving until he could lie back against her pillows and she could get a little more wrapped around if she wanted. He'd pulled away just a touch while doing so even if his hand stayed where it was.

For some reason, he just...didn't want to take it away from her heart.

[vanillajello]

Kate, wrap herself around him more? But of course. Settling against him, she did that familiar thing where she got her legs all tangled up with his. Something weirdly comforting about knowing neither of them could get up too fast.

And she smiled down at him a bit. No real reason. Just felt like it.

[therewaslife]

"Better," Bod told her in something near a whisper and returned that smile. At this point, he'd almost forgotten the baggage and the issues and everything. It just didn't seem to matter right now.

[vanillajello]

They had their moments of ease. Like this one. And somehow that seemed to make all the trouble worthwhile.

Sometimes, at least.

"Good to know," Kate said, leaning down for a light kiss.

[therewaslife]

Right before she'd kissed him, he managed to say, "Venustas," before closing his eyes and returning that light kiss with one of his own.

[vanillajello]

"You're distracting me," she told him, between a few quicker kisses, "with your Latin."

[therewaslife]

"Distracting you from what?" Bod asked, smiling and reaching for another Latin word just to distract her further. "Incunditas."

[vanillajello]

"From... stuff." Yeah, she had no idea, and she was chuckling a little. "I don't know."

[therewaslife]

He just smiled up at her and said, "Mei proprius puella."

It was her fault for saying he was distracting her. Of course he was going to continue on since he liked Latin quite a lot.

[vanillajello]

Kate shook her head. "You are so weird." And she liked him that way. Even when she couldn't quite tell what he was saying.

[therewaslife]

"Thank you," Bod said, smiling and even blushing just a touch. "You do say such sweet things, Kate."

[vanillajello]

Kate snickered and ducked down to kiss his cheek. "Well at least you can tell what I'm saying."

[therewaslife]

"Would you like to know what I said?" Bod wondered. "I'll gladly tell you."

[vanillajello]

"Yes," she nodded. "Enlighten me."

[therewaslife]

"Venustas is loveliness. Iucunditas is pleasure. And Mei proprius puella is special girl. And now you know what I was saying as well."

All right, so he left a word out of the last statement. He didn't need her to panic.

[vanillajello]

Of course, even Kate's rusty and basic understanding of Latin told her there was an untranslated word there, and with all the other words he'd provided her, she could even tell what it was.

She didn't panic, though. Things in a foreign language were easier to stop from doing that. Instead, she just gave him a pleased sort of smirk. "I do. How convenient."

[therewaslife]

"It seemed important that you know," he said and gave a little shrug. "So, now you do. Good."

[vanillajello]

"Well, it's generally good to know what's being said about me," she mused. "Especially when it's being said to my face. It would be pretty embarrassing to smile about an insult."

[therewaslife]

"I don't tend to insult people," he said, shaking his head, "and I definitely wouldn't insult you so if I use Latin, be assured that it's something good. I'll leave the insults to others."

[vanillajello]

"Mm, sounds like a good plan," she nodded. "And I kinda really like it when you use Latin. Even though it's weird and distracting."

[therewaslife]

"You do?" Bod asked, grinning. "If you can't understand it, what makes you like it?"

[vanillajello]

Kate gave a light shrug. "I don't know, it's just... It's very you," she explained. "And, for the record? If you wrote it down, I... might understand some of it. Maybe."

[therewaslife]

"Before I leave, I'll write you some things in Latin and you can try and figure it out," he promised, smiling up at her. Not that he planned on leaving for a bit yet. "I'm glad you like it. That just means I won't stop using it here and there. You're fun when you're distracted."
