Room 324, Sunday Evening

[vanillajello]

Kate felt weird. As if she... was supposed to feel kind of dizzy, but everything was completely clear instead. With a vague buzzing, somewhere in the background. It was probably shock.

She was just going to run with it, for as long as it lasted. Then collapse. Maybe cry. She wasn't thinking about any of that right now. Someone else was her priority.

And that someone was Bod, who'd been using her as a walking aid on their way up from the lobby.

"So, what do you need?" she asked when they'd made it to her room.

[ooc: For the poor, poor boyfriend.]

"Go to sleep," he said, already closing his eyes. He covered her arm with his and sighed. A part of him didn't want to fall asleep but the utterly exhausted part of him wasn't having that anymore.

"Go to sleep," he mumbled again. "We'll feel better."

"Better," Kate sighed, closing her eyes. "God I hope so." She kissed his shoulder before settling down and adding, softly, "I love you."

"I love you too," he mumbled, feeling his breathing evening out and feeling that exhaustion finally start to overwhelm him. Before he knew it, he'd drifted off with those last three words of hers in his ear.

She wasn't far behind. Dreamless, exhausted, clingy sleep snuck up like a ninja and took her with it.

It hadn't been a good day in the slightest, but at least it was the best of the latest few they'd had.

And at least they were together.
