Outside MST3000 & Onwards, Wednesday Evening

[vanillajello]

Another fairly uneventful day at the movie theater had come to an end. The most Kate had really done was talk to her boyfriend and then jot down some plans for a party, but she thought that was plenty. At the end of the day, she said goodbye to her coworkers and locked everything up before slipping out through the back door.

She was smiling to herself as she circled her way to the front of the building.

[ooc: Just for that guy, please and thank you!]

"The water was too cold to go for long swims in," Bod pointed out, making a face at her. "I wanted to do something that wasn't falling asleep in the sun and getting sunburned. I avoided that, by the way."

[vanillajello]

"Impressive," she replied, not meaning it one bit. "You're such a geek, you are."

[therewaslife]

"How does enjoying reading make me a so called geek?" Bod wondered, snagging a few fries. "I enjoy literature. I wasn't exposed to it as a child so I'm making up for lost time."

[vanillajello]

"It just does." Some things were easy to decide when you thought you had the right to be an authority. "It's okay, I still like you. It's not offputting."

[therewaslife]

"I'd worry if that, of all things, was put you off," Bod replied, shaking his head. "I rather enjoy being a geek, if that's the case."

[vanillajello]

"Well, it could put me off," Kate pointed out, mostly joking. "I mean, it's not like I'm too into the whole stuffy, intellectual side of things. That includs literature."

[therewaslife]

"Well, if it could put you off, why hasn't it?" Bod asked her. "I've been like this the entire time you've known me."

[vanillajello]

"Because I don't care," Kate replied easily. "Because I love you, and you're not all books, all the time."

[therewaslife]

"Thank you," he said, smiling shyly. "I love you too and no, I'm not all books, all the time. That would be a rather boring existence."

[vanillajello]

"Some people swear by it," Kate said, shrugging a shoulder. "No one I'm close to, though."

[therewaslife]

"Books are a rather big part of my life but there's so much more out there that books aren't involved in and I want to experience it all," he explained.

[vanillajello]

"I know," she replied with a brief smile. More fries, right. "It's one of the things I like about you."

[therewaslife]

"And another thing you like about me is that I bring you food, isn't it?" he asked, amused. "You're lucky I didn't bring celery with me."

[vanillajello]

"Ew, why would you ever bring celery?" Kate asked, making a face. "I don't remember you having a deathwish."

[therewaslife]

"I enjoy celery!" Bod protested, shaking his head. "It's especially good with peanut butter on it."

[vanillajello]

"... You're a freak," Kate decided, after a mildly incredulous look. "You are. I'm sorry."

[therewaslife]

"You eat processed pudding cups," Bod felt compelled to say. "If I'm a freak, you are as well."

[vanillajello]

"That does not make me a freak," Kate protested, laughing. "Now you're just being mean."

[therewaslife]

"I'm eating something healthy and I'm a freak?" Bod asked, shaking his head. "You're eating something unhealthy and you're not? I don't understand how that works!"

[vanillajello]

"You're ateenager," Kate pointed out. "You're not supposed to eat healthy and like</i< it."

[therewaslife]

"Well, I do," he said haughtily. "If that makes me a freak, you can just add it to my list of labels."

[vanillajello]

"I'm pretty sure that label was already there, though," she replied, amused. "No extra help necessary from me."

[therewaslife]

"I'm going to take the fries away from you and walk home alone, you...meanie."

Yes, he was still not very good with insults.

[vanillajello]

Not very good at all. "I'm so offended by your harsh words, Nobody," Kate deadpanned. "I thought you came to get me so you could tell me the one affectionate thing you owe me. So far, you're really failing."

[therewaslife]

The instant she reminded him of that, he immediately started blushing again. It was impossible to resist. "I...am still going to tell you that. I thought you'd want to eat first."
