Room 324, Friday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Kate was just getting around to emailing photos of Fandom to her brother when her phone buzzed, signaling the arrival of a message.

haven’t seen you at school, where r u?

Kate blinked a few times after she read the message. Oh-kay. Not entirely unexpected, but still pretty surprising. She wasn’t going to reply to it, though. He didn’t deserve it. She couldn’t really bring herself to delete the message right away, but went back to picking sendable pictures on the computer.

About five minutes later the phone buzzed again.

i miss you katie-chan

...He was making it really hard not to reply. Kate sat on her bed, looking at her phone.


[Open door, open post!]

She kissed him back, sliding her hand up along his arm, then resting it by the side of his neck.

He pulled away a little, smiling, waiting for her reaction."

Which was leaning closer and murmuring "Where do you think you're going?" with a smirk.

[future_sandworm]

"Do I have a good reason to stay?," he replied teasingly.

[vanillajello]

"Probably not as good a reason as you'd have if Bobby wasn't probably coming back soon," she said, "and if there wasn't a part of my mind telling me I should send you away now."

[future_sandworm]

"The disadvantage of having a roommate," he smirked. "Will you send me away?"

[vanillajello]

"I think I should," she replied. Oh, look at that little pout. "But very, very reluctantly."

[future_sandworm]

"I warn you, I might come back." But he got to his feet.

[vanillajello]

"I'll live in fear of that happening," she grinned, tucking her hair behind her ear.

Leto just laughed in reply, then leaned forward to give her a quick kiss, before disappearing out of the door.
