Room 324, Early Saturday Morning

[vanillajello]

Kate had woken up early to a knock on the door. She would've just ignored it, since it was Saturday and Saturdays were meant for sleeping in, but since she'd been expecting a boyfriend and breakfast combo to show up fairly early, she'd stumbled out of her bed and gone to open the door.

But no. At first glance, there had been no one there. But then she'd looked down and there had been a disembodied hand, looking expectant. If a hand could look expectant. This one seemed to.

"No," she'd said simply, before closing the door door and going about her morning routine. She would not be dealing with any stupid Fandom weirdness today, thank you. Bod was supposed to pick her up, and then they'd head to Baltimore for their little getaway that had coincidentally landed on their three month anniversary.

No extra hands were needed in room 324 today.

[ooc: Door is closed, and post is open, though mostly for that guy coming to pick her up.]

Bod's hands were all attached to his arm which were attached to his body so he hoped he didn't get the door shut on him when he knocked.

He did indeed have breakfast (cinnamon rolls and donuts) and he'd even brought coffee (for her) because it was early and she wasn't always a morning person.

[vanillajello]

No, not much of a morning person. She had at least showered and dressed already, but when she came to the door she did still have the look of someone who maybe shouldn't have been up quite yet.

"If it's another disembodied body part, I don't want any," she called out before she opened the door, then smiled once she had and saw it was actually him, this time. "Hey."

[therewaslife]

"Disembodied body part?" Bod repeated, holding out the coffee to her. "Have I missed something?"

[vanillajello]

Kate took the coffee (and was really damn grateful for it) as she stepped out of the way to let him into the room. "There was a hand knocking on my door earlier."

[therewaslife]

"...was the hand attached to someone?" Bod asked, stepping inside the room. He almost started whispering when he remembered she said Bobby was out of town.

[vanillajello]

"No," she said, closing the door behind him. "Hence, disembodied."

[therewaslife]

"Interesting," Bod said, blinking a few times. "They didn't try and do anything else to you?"

[vanillajello]

"Didn't really give it a chance," Kate replied with a shrug and a sip of coffee. "I shut the door and left it outside."

Occasionally, the weird could be easy enough to deal with.

[therewaslife]

"That was probably a smart thing to do," Bod said, settling his bag down on her floor before he took a seat on the edge of her bed. "Are you fully awake yet?"

[vanillajello]

"I'm... dressed?" she offered after a pause to drink some more coffee. "I'm getting there. I'll wake up eventually."

[therewaslife]

"There's no rush," Bod told her, offering her the bag of baked goods next. "It won't take that long to get there."

[vanillajello]

"Mm, the mystery destination," she smirked, taking the bag before sitting down on the edge of her bed beside him. "I assume you're still not going to tell me what it is."

[therewaslife]

"I'm not," he said, shaking his head. "It's a surprise. You get to know it's in Baltimore and I made all the arrangements myself."

Hopefully that didn't make her nervous.

[vanillajello]

Oh, it took a lot more than that to make her nervous. Especially this early in the morning. "Fine, I'll find out soon enough," she said, picking up a donut. "I can deal with surprises."

[therewaslife]

"It's a good surprise," he promised, smiling at her. "And if you're still tired when we get there, you can take a nap."

[vanillajello]

"I'm not tired, I just haven't really woken up yet." She felt there was a difference there. "I slept pretty well."

A little bit exhausted from the whole job thing, probably.

[therewaslife]

"Everything went well yesterday for you?" Bod asked, reaching into the bag for one of the cinnamon rolls. "After I saw you, I mean."

[vanillajello]

"Ooh, it did!" Kate said, her smile getting wider as she nodded. "I totally got to yes!"

It was a very exciting thing for her. That she only just now remembered to tell him that just went to show how early this was for her.

"I got to ring the little bell and everyone clapped."

[therewaslife]

"Congratulations," he said, smiling at her excitement over that. "I'm sure that's the first of many for you. I know it will be."

[vanillajello]

"Well, it better be," she said, though some smugness came through. "Since that's the only way I get any money. But it was awesome."

[therewaslife]

"You are awesome," he corrected before he took a bite of his cinnamon roll. "And you deserved to be awesome at your job."

[vanillajello]

"Aww, thank you." Oh she was beaming. While finishing off her coffee and her donut. "I know."

[therewaslife]

"Of course you do," he said, laughing. "We did talk about your healthy ego yesterday. I'm glad to see that hasn't diminished."

[vanillajello]

"I've been cultivating my ego for almost seventeen years," she pointed out. "It would take more than a day for it to diminish."

[therewaslife]

"Of course, how could I be so silly," Bod asked, shaking his head. "So, your ego remains intact despite the early hour. Excellent to hear."

[vanillajello]

"It's probably the first part of me to wake up," Kate snickered as she reached for a cinnamon roll. Mm, healthy breakfast. "It might never go to sleep, actually."

[therewaslife]

"It's a good thing I don't mind," Bod said, leaning over to kiss her cheek. "Is the breakfast good?"

[vanillajello]

"It's very good, thank you," she replied, smirking. "It's sweet. You know me so well."

[therewaslife]

"Well, I was going to bring you an apple but I didn't think that would provide much incentive to wake up," Bod said, dropping the bag between them and leaning back on his hands.

[vanillajello]

Kate snorted. "No, I would've thrown it at your head. Nothing healthy for breakfast here today, thank you. It's Saturday."

[therewaslife]

"It's early on a Saturday but it's still Saturday," he agreed with a laugh. "We might be the only two awake right now."

[vanillajello]

"I don't know, some pretty weird kids live here." Weird in other ways than either of them, she meant. "I think there might even be some people training somewhere already."

[therewaslife]

"You're probably right," he acquiesced even if it had been quiet in the corridors when he'd gotten up. "Is there anyway I can help you wake up further?"

[vanillajello]

Kate shrugged and smiled a bit. "I don't know," she said, licking her fingers after finishing her cinnamon roll. "How awake do you need me to be?"

[therewaslife]

"Awake enough to walk so we can at least catch the bus," he told her. "Then, you can sleep a little more on my shoulder until we arrive. I'll carry your bag so you won't even have to do that."

[vanillajello]

"I'm awake enough to walk," Kate snickered, pushing herself up and to her feet. "Anything in particular I should bring with? I already packed some clothes."

Mostly tiny ones, though there were a few items that were better suited for appearing in public too.

[therewaslife]

"Swimsuit," he said even if that would give something away. "And comfortable clothes."

[vanillajello]

"All my clothes are comfortable," she claimed as she picekd up her backpack and went over to her dresser to dig around for a few more items of clothing. "There's going to be swimming? Or you just like seeing me in a bikini."

[therewaslife]

"One or the other," Bod said, shrugging and playing coy. He didn't want to give everything away. "Either one is a good option, isn't it?"

[vanillajello]

"I guess," she said, laughing, as she shot an amused glance at him over her shoulder. "One's good 'cause swimming's fun, the other 'cause you like looking at me."

[therewaslife]

"And I could still look at you while you're swimming." Then, she'd be wet and he...was fond of that look as well. "I can assuredly tell you the swimsuit is for one or the other."

[vanillajello]

"Possibly both," she concluded as she straightened up again and went to grab hsome stuff from her desk. "I guess I'll have to wait and find out. How will I ever be able to live with the suspense?"

[therewaslife]

"I don't know but you'll have to find a way for a little while longer," Bod laughed. "And hopefully it's not a letdown for you."

[vanillajello]

"It's not gonna be a letdown, you'll still be there," Kate noted with a fairly evil smirk. "And I know how to make the most of all kinds of situations."

[therewaslife]

Bod blushed and ducked his head so it wouldn't be too obvious. "I look forward to seeing what you think. And seeing how you take advantage."

[vanillajello]

Kate just snickered at that, peering into her bag, then closing it. "I think I'm done packing now."

[therewaslife]

"If you'd like to carry the breakfast, I'll carry the bags," he said, getting to his feet and reaching for his own backpack. "And we'll go?"

[vanillajello]

"Ooh yes, the all-important job of the breakfast transporter," Kate replied, exchanging her backpack for the breakfast bag and picking up her purse. "Ready to go."

[therewaslife]

Bod passed her the breakfast, shouldered her bag and reached for her hand. "Let's be on our way, then."
