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.]

Comments

"That shouldn't be too hard," he said, chuckling against her lips and blushing again. "I have confidence in you. I'm sure you'll find all sorts of ways to make me lose my ability to think of anything. You're clever and special and I love you."

[vanillajello]

"I love you too," she whispered, and kissed him again. And again, and again. "And there's nothing I'd rather do than figure out what makes you tick so I can make your mind go boom."

[therewaslife]

Bod kept laughing, shyly but happily because hearing that anyone wanted to do that to him was still new. "All right. I want that too more than you probably know. I want it too."

[vanillajello]

"As you should," she mumbled smugly. "Smart boy. Smart, beautiful, totally hot boy. Mine."

That was coherent enough.

[therewaslife]

It was coherent enough for him to keep that blush on his face and across his neck and shoulders for entirely new reasons.

He smiled and pulled her closer to him. "Yours. Just yours."

[vanillajello]

"Mmm, miiine," Kate drawled happily. "My English Muffin. Magic Fingers. Odd Bod."

[therewaslife]

"All of those and more," he agreed, laughing at the string of nicknames. "I'm all of those and more for you. I'll be anything for you."

[vanillajello]

"You can be my lover," she smirked as she shifted a bit. Not restless, just needing to change her position. "You can be you."

[therewaslife]

"I'll be me, then," he assured her with a quiet laugh and a stretch of his own. "And you can be you and we can be together."

[vanillajello]

"We can be together," she agreed, then smirked because she couldn't help herself. "Possibly in several new exotic ways. Once we're done resting."

[therewaslife]

"Yes," he agreed and snickered again. "Once we're done resting, we can be together. I look forward to it. I'm quite open to new and exotic things."

He'd end up blushing and stammering afterward but during, there was no danger of him making any big mistakes.

[vanillajello]

"I know," Kate said, because she did. She'd noticed, and it pleased her. "It doesn't take a lot of convincing to get you to try things. Almost makes me wish I was kinkier than I am."

[therewaslife]

"You're...adventurous enough," he said and laughed at his inability to use the word. "I promise. I enjoy you and your limits. They're comfortable for me too."

[vanillajello]

"You're comfortable for me." For her to sprawl over like a cat. "So we should rest. So we can be mildly adventurous and make sure there's no tenseness left."

Best plan ever.

[therewaslife]

"I'm in agreement with this," he said, stretching out even more and sighing. "We should definitely do that. Rest and then do things that require more rest afterward."

It was an excellent plan.

[vanillajello]

Kate didn't say anything more, but shifted a bit so she could lay her head on his chest and listen to his heart. She'd make it beat faster again, later, and the thought made her smirk to herself.

But now? Just some more rest. It was going to be a very good day.
