Room 324, Saturday Morning

Kate had... kind of intended to spend the night alone. That had been the original plan, at least, before a miniature freakout and being a fabulous fake and having to stand the sight of Caroline and ugh. Yet another plan of Kate's that had not gone quite as she'd originally thought it would.

She'd figure out how she felt about that later, maybe. Because right now she was still asleep, clinging to Nathan with an arm and a leg over him, pressed close against him despite the blankets spread over them. That was just her thing, minor neediness slipping out when she wasn't conscious enough to control it. It was a lot like another morning a month or so ago, probably, except they were presently decidedly more lacking in clothes and knew each other better in whole new ways.

And Fandom was being Fandom again, but that was not for them to know yet. They'd find out soon enough.

[ooc: Just for that one guy, and for that other smaller guy who'll cause a whole lot of emo despite being adorbs, and then probably that third guy with some more emo.]

"Of course," he said, shrugging a shoulder. "I know everything."

That was a little sarcastic and he closed his eyes and shook his head. "I apologize. I'm just overwhelmed right now."

"Go...about this?" Bod repeated, glancing over at her for the barest of seconds. "What do you mean?"

"You want to divide him up between us?" Bod asked, frowning at that. "Shouldn't we maybe ask him what he wants? We're not that important in the grand scheme of things, Kate."

"I lost my parents when I was young," he said, looking down at the child again and shrugging. "I don't want him to feel like he's losing his too because you hate me."

"Please don't call me names," he said and bit down on his lip to keep the well of emotion inside him from exploding. "Please. I can't look at you because you're wearing someone else's shirt, Kate. I'd rather not see that."

"What?" Bod asked, resting his larger hand on Dorian's head to both comfort and partially cover his ear. "What are you talking about?"

"Caroline?" he guessed because he'd been listening to radio even if she didn't. "She's just my friend, Kate. I can't tell her who to talk to and who not to. I talk to her because she's my friend and she listens to me talk. Perhaps you should direct your anger away from her and onto me. There's enough of it there already. She didn't do anything wrong."

"I'm not going to fight with you today," he said, shaking his head and looking down at Dorian. "I refuse to do this with you anymore. I'm sorry for ruining your day and probably your weekend."

Bod started breathing a little heavier than previously at her absolutely stinging words and he looked down. It was just all so much and he had to wipe his eyes to prevent any tears from emerging. He didn't know if that would help but he had to try and stop this overwhelming mess of emotions that he'd been keeping in check.

He bowed his head and sniffed a few times, forgetting to answer her because, well, he didn't want his voice to sound bad.

Bod's head snapped up at that and he didn't eve care if his eyes looked a little wet and red. He was just so tired of having his heart run over and kicked by her.

"I'm sorry, Kate, it's a little hard for me to be helpful after you've so bluntly admitted that a child of mine could ruin your weekend so thoroughly," he said, thankfully still sounding calm. "And I really don't want to hear an excuse because that's what you meant and we both know it. Forgive me but I'm trying despite feeling really quite awful right now."

"Why shouldn't I do that?" Bod wondered, shaking his head. "Why? You've been doing it to me to the point that I think I'm the absolute worst person to be around. So, you're perfectly valid in your choices of demonizing me but if I do it, it just makes me even more the villain?"

He didn't understand. Of course he didn't.

Bod shook his head and swiped a hand across his wet eyes, fighting off the tears and the urge to scream until he was hoarse. "I'm trying not to, Kate, but you're making it hard. You've made me feel like a monster. I think you're...names that I don't want to repeat right now, I've ruined your weekend, I don't know what I'm talking about, I'm a coward, I'm nothing."

He stopped his words and looked down again. "When you look at me, I feel like a monster. And it's awful and sad. I tried so hard to get away from that and now...it's constant."
