Jelly Bean B2, Friday Morning

[vanillajello]

Someone was spooning Kate and nuzzling her neck as she woke up. It was a really nice thing to wake up to. Cozy and comfortable. And obviously there was only one person it could be. So, sleepily, and fully expecting to see a pale face and some floppy hair and grey eyes and probably a cute smile, Kate turned her head and opened her eyes, and--

Well. The guy was pale, yes. Really pale, actually. His skin was almost white, not the kind of peachy pink that passed for white skin in general terms. And his hair was floppy, but it was also a little too long. And black. His eyes were kind of black, too. And his clothes.

He was most definitely not Bod. Kate pushed herself up on her elbows, eyes wide. "What the fuck?"

"Good morning, Kate," the guy replied calmly, with a gently amused smile.

"Who are you? And why the fuck are you in my bed?"

The guy kept smiling. Actually, there was something calming about him. Comforting. Familiar. "I usually go where you go," he said. "Except when you think you don't need me - which is totally fine, by the way - and you end up giving me to Bod to prove a point. Take my hand. You look like you need it."

Without even thinking about it, Kate took the guy's hand. It felt right.

And at the same time she understood what he was telling her. Her free hand came up to the top of her chest, reaching for something that wasn't there. And the guy just gave him something that was almost a smirk.

Still holding the necklace's hand, Kate fell back with a frustrated grunt and burrowed her face into the pillow. "Fucking Fandom."

"You're not expecting me to surprise you with weirdness?" Bod asked, snickering. "I bet I could, if I tried."

[vanillajello]

"I would never claim you couldn't do that," she replied. "Just that I'd hope you wouldn't do it on purpose. Unless it was a good surprise."

[therewaslife]

"I wouldn't try to negatively surprise you," he assured her. "I wouldn't want to get onto your bad side. I don't think I'd like it."

[vanillajello]

"You wouldn't."

Yes, that was the necklace, who was now getting yet another look. Which he didn't care about.

"You can glare at me all you want, Kate. It doesn't change anything."

[therewaslife]

"It's a bad bad side?" Bod asked, wincing a bit.

[vanillajello]

"It's a bad bad side," the necklace confirmed. "You don't want to be on it."

Kate was just going to very maturely sulk, now.

[therewaslife]

"Why are you sulking?" He knew sulking, of course. "It's a good thing for me to know, don't you agree?"

[vanillajello]

"Yeah but he's not supposed to know stuff like that," Kate whined. Again, very maturely.

[therewaslife]

"He's been with you for awhile," Bod pointed out, glancing at the necklace. "You have to know that he's seen your bad moods and your good moods. He's probably seen..."

Did Kate take her necklace off when they...? Bod didn't think so. And now he was blushing.

[vanillajello]

Well, that at least got Kate to crack a grin again, before she too sent a wide-eyed glance the necklace's way.

The necklace smiled in a way that would be best described as tolerant. "Yes, I've seen you have sex," he said. "No, I don't really care. I'm a necklace."

Granted, he could see the appeal of sex now that he was in this form. But he wasn't particularly fussed about things like that.

A beat went by.

"Although you should probably be glad that it's unlikely that one door has come to life today."

[therewaslife]

Bod turned bright red which really was a sight on someone as pale as himself. He screwed his eyes shut and shook his head, trying to not think about the necklace seeing them together, door or not.

"You're probably very right," he managed to mutter.

[vanillajello]

"Oh my God," Kate snickered, far too amused by his blushing, "what if it had? We would've been screwed!"

[therewaslife]

"Kate, shush shush," Bod said, covering his face with his hand now. "I don't need to think about that. I'm already feeling strange enough that your necklace has seen us do that."

[vanillajello]

Kate could shut up about it, but she didn't stop laughing.

"Everything in both your rooms has seen you do that," the necklace pointed out, possibly having been exposed to Kate's brand of evil too much. Or just because it was logical. "Not to mention the trees in that place on the mainland."

[therewaslife]

This was unfair, getting ganged up on by Kate and her necklace. He was fairly certain that his blush wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"I didn't need to know that," he muttered.

[vanillajello]

"Wherever there are things, those things can potentially see you," the necklace shrugged, after sharing a private sort of faint smirk with Kate. "That's just how it is."

[therewaslife]

"It's going to be your fault when I tell Kate we can't do that anymore," Bod said, running a hand through his hair and fanning his flushed face.

[vanillajello]

"That doesn't sound like a believable threat," the necklace said, shaking his head.

Kate didn't think so either. "It so totally does not."

[therewaslife]

"It...might be believable," he said, making a face. "It might be!"

[vanillajello]

And now, he was getting two looks of 'yeah, right'.

"Sure it might," Kate said.

[therewaslife]

"I'm not going to be be able to stop thinking about things that can see!" Bod said, still making faces.

[vanillajello]

"Kate's not distracting enough?" the necklace wondered, amused in that slightly detached way of his. He wasn't completely human, so there was a distance between him and the subject matter.

Didn't mean he wasn't going to find this funny.

[therewaslife]

"Kate's plenty distracting," he said, thankful that the blush seemed to be abating. "I'm still going to think about it."

[vanillajello]

"She'll make you forget," the necklace remarked, giving Kate's hand a squeeze. "It's what she does."

Kate nodded. "And anyways, we'll worry about that way later. It's not like that's a pressing issue right now."

[therewaslife]

"It's definitely not a pressing issue right now," he agreed, shaking his head and tugging at the collar of his shirt. At least he'd kept the blush from cropping up again.

"You're very calm," Bod said to the necklace, trying to change the subject. "Do you pass that onto Kate?"
