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!]

"...do you mean in terms of relief?" Bod asked, trying to figure out what she meant.

[vanillajello]

"As interesting as that question is," Kate replied, snickering, "no." She rested her forehead against his shoulder for a moment before stepping away to tug his hand so they'd start walking again. "Nevermind, it was just a teasing throwaway question. Not meant to confuse you this much. Forget it."

[therewaslife]

"I'm sorry," he said apologetically as he moved to walk with her. "I did try to understand, if that helps. I really did. I'm sorry I apparently missed out."

[vanillajello]

"It was just a silly question," she assured him, swinging their hands a bit. "Really, don' worry."

[therewaslife]

"If you'd like an answer though, perhaps you could answer it yourself so I know what you were hoping for?" Bod suggested. "What do you do now?"

[vanillajello]

"Love you," she replied, simply. "I mean, actually I still miss you but it's different 'cause it's not something I need to ignore or anything, and I know you're not far away, so... I just love you. That's what I do now that I don't miss you anymore."

[therewaslife]

"That's what I do as well," Bod said, giving her hand a squeeze. "I love you. And when I do miss you, I know that I can go find you and not have it be incredibly awkward or painful. It can just be...us."

[vanillajello]

"Yeah," Kate nodded with a smile thrown his way. "Much better than before. I'm sorry things were so shitty."

[therewaslife]

"It's all right," Bod told her, waving his free hand. "It's over and it's in the past and we've moved on. All of that is over and done with. We're here now."

[vanillajello]

"I can still be sorry." Because it was so rare that she was. "But, you're right. I'm not intending to dwell, don't worry."

[therewaslife]

"You can be sorry and I can be sorry too," Bod agreed, bumping his shoulder against hers. "But yes, we're not going to dwell. We're going to...walk."

[vanillajello]

"We're pretty good at that too," she agreed with a lopsided smile. "We'll walk with great grace. Or something."

[therewaslife]

"Great grace and confidence," he agreed, swinging their hands again. "Yes, I think that's exactly what we should do."

[vanillajello]

Kate laughed and gave his hand a squeeze. "Yeah, let's."

[therewaslife]

Laughing as well, Bod kept swinging their hands and got them going into a graceful, confident walk. They were good at that. Yes, they were.
