Room 324, Monday After Classes

[vanillajello]

There was something up with today.

Kate had been feeling antsy pretty much straight since waking up this morning, and hadn't been able to shake the feeling since. And that was weird, when Sunday had been such a good day after such a long stretch of bad days. She only tended to feel this restless when things were entirely messed up.

After her classes, she'd tried to do some of her independent course work, but had given up pretty soon after realizing her thoughts just kept straying to far more interesting things.

She was considering going downstairs to the gym and dancing, even if she hadn't been doing that for months now, because that usually helped with... whatever this was.

But before doing that, she'd happened to catch a glimpse of herself in the mirror on the wall, and so she was now staring intently into it, trying to determine what exactly it was about her appearance that seemed to make her look even better than usual.

[ooc: Open post, half open door! Oh my vain girl. ETA: And of course 'tis NWS by now.]

"And then we could go from there," Bod filled in, nodding slowly. "I'll take off my pants for you."

That would have made him blush on any other day. Today, not so much.

[vanillajello]

Kate chuckled, quietly. "Good to hear," she smirked. "And I could maybe take my skirt off. Maybe exchange it for a shirt or something. Unless you'd prefer I didn't."

[therewaslife]

"You can take my shirt if you'd like to wear a shirt," he offered, looking down at his own t-shirt. "I'm sure it'd be comfortable and I know you enjoy my clothing."

[vanillajello]

"I enjoy everything about you." And she couldn't help leaning in to kiss him briefly as she said that. "I'd love to wear your shirt."

[therewaslife]

"All right," he said, pleased again. He smiled into that kiss before stepping back slightly. He still had to clean himself up and get his shirt off before he could share his clothing.

"I won't ever look at your desk the same way," he said, disposing of the condom so he could take off his pants.

[vanillajello]

"Yeah, I... don't think I will, either," Kate said and laughed, glancing down at said desk. "Kind of impressed it didn't break, though."

[therewaslife]

"It's a good memory to have though," he said, tugging his pants off and dropping them on her floor before pulling his shirt off. "You can think about it while you're working."

[vanillajello]

"As if I need more distractions," she snorted, holding out her hands for the shirt. "But you're right. It's an amazing memory to have."

[therewaslife]

"I'm glad I was able to be here for it," he said, passing his shirt across to her. "It's a multi use desk now."

[vanillajello]

Kate laughed as she pulled the shirt over her head. "Wouldn't have been half as good without you here. And I probably wouldn't have used the desk."

[therewaslife]

"You would have used something though?" Bod guessed, stepping back a little further to give her room to climb off the desk finally.

[vanillajello]

"Mmm, probably the bed," she mused as she got to her feet again. "Or maybe the shower, that would've worked too."

[therewaslife]

"Were you tense?" Bod asked, guessing yes since they'd just had a really, really good round of sex.

[vanillajello]

"A little," she replied, reaching for his hand to tug him along towards the bed. "Tense, restless, kinda distracted..."

[therewaslife]

"At least you had a plan for it," he said, going with her willingly. "I was going to take a very long walk in the hopes that helped."

[vanillajello]

Kate quirked a brow while she walked him slowly across the room. "Oh? You were distracted too?"

It would take a while longer for her to realize that was going around.

[therewaslife]

"Yes. Extremely," he answered, nodding. "I couldn't concentrate on anything for longer than a few minutes and there's was all this...energy that I couldn't shake."

[vanillajello]

Now Kate raised both her brows. "Huh. Well do you think that's been dealt with now?"

[therewaslife]

"For now," he said, nodding. "I think so. I'm not feeling quite so tense or uptight anymore. I feel good."

[vanillajello]

"Mm, that's good," she decided, nodding. "Because I don't think I want tense people in my bed, and that's where your going."

In fact, she was going to attempt turning them around now that they were by the bed so that he'd be the one with his back to it, and then try gently pushing him into it.

She could occasionally be pushy too.

[therewaslife]

"I'm not tense," Bod promised, sitting down on her bed before pushing himself backwards so he could lay down and stretch out. "I'm very loose and relaxed right now while in your bed."

[vanillajello]

"Good," Kate nodded again, while going over to her dresser to retrieve a bag from one of the drawers. "Sounds like the perfect time to finally give you your damn presents."

[therewaslife]

"Oh, right." He'd completely forgotten about those because of, well, everything. He couldn't help laughing at that. "I forgot."

[vanillajello]

"I'm so surprised," Kate deadpanned as she came back to the bed and sat down on the edge of it, then looked into the bag. "Hmmm, well. I guess serious presents first? Or maybe if you don't like them I'll claim they were the teasing part or... Whatever."

Okay, so maybe she was a little nervous about this. Randomly. Maybe.

She reached into the bag, then handed him a hard package that contained two items. It was fairly easy to tell they were books just by feel. "So... Happy fake birthday, boyfriend."

[therewaslife]

"Thank you, girlfriend," Bod said, reaching for the packages and carefully opening the presents. Yes, he was one of those people. Besides, he was reveling in getting presents.

"You got me books," he said, pleased and then read the titles. "Kate. These books look amazing. These look..."

He reached for words and then beamed at her. "I love them. Thank you. I've never seen books like these before. It makes me want to start them right now."
