Somewhere in Maryland, Friday Evening

[vanillajello]

So, Kate and Bod had decided to get the hell off the island and away from the constant rain of future Japan. They'd packed some stuff, rented a car, and off they'd gone.

They were... somewhere in Maryland, now. Kate wasn't exactly sure where, and didn't particularly care, though maybe she should have, since she was currently driving and all. Maybe they'd know where they were going once they saw it.

She glanced over at Bod. "Can you try and find something good on the radio?" She was still too much of an old lady driver to start fiddling with the car stereo while they were in motion.

[ooc: NFB due to off-islandness, and just for that guuuy, please and thank you!]

"Taking off your clothes and swimming," she told him, like it was a big reveal. "Those are the tricks."

[therewaslife]

"I think you should demonstrate," he said, nodding knowingly. "I'd like to see this in practice before I try."

[vanillajello]

"You just want to see me naked." A beat. "No, you just want to see me wet and naked."

[therewaslife]

"Is that not allowed?" Bod wondered because yes, he did want to see that.

[vanillajello]

"That's not what I said." Yeah, she may have already been letting go of his hand to reach for the back of her bikini top. "I think that's exactly what you should want."

[therewaslife]

"Of course I want that," Bod said, stepping backwards so he'd be able to have a nice, complete view. "I always want that."

[vanillajello]

Kate laughed. "Did you just step back to appreciate this more fully?"

That was a rhetorical question. She got the back open, but keot the top in place with her hands, smirking. If he was going to pay keen attention, she was going to tease.

[therewaslife]

"I did," Bod said, nodding slowly. He'd been waiting for her to take her top off and when she didn't, he made a face at her. "You're teasing me."

[vanillajello]

"And you're making the most adorable face at me for it," Kate retorted. "That's not exactly discouraging me."

[therewaslife]

"That's because I'd like to see you," Bod said petulantly. "You don't want to show me?"

[vanillajello]

Snicker. "You know, you're almost starting to sound like an averga guy, there."

But at least she started to pull the top off, but sloowly.

[therewaslife]

"Is that a bad thing?" Bod asked, frowning. "Should I take back what I said?"

[vanillajello]

"No, I just find it amusing."

Not that she thought he'd even really hear that, since about two seconds later she was half naked, holding her top by the shells.

[therewaslife]

Bod sucked in a breath and didn't even try to keep his eyes on her face. He couldn't because she was just that lovely. She was beautiful.

"I like skinny dipping so far."

[vanillajello]

"Despite the fact that we're only somewhat gotten to the skinny part, without the dipping," Kate replied, unceremoniously reaching to push her bikini bottom down next. "Somehow I'm not surprised."

[therewaslife]

"We're moving slowly," Bod said, smiling up at her. "You're being very literal, aren't you?"

[vanillajello]

"It's fun." She got the bottom off swiftly, then balled her clothes up while stomping on the urge to get coy because she was naked on a beach. "What else is new?"

[therewaslife]

Bod just laughed and hooked his fingers into the waist of his trunks. "It's my turn now, isn't it?"

If she was close to being coy, Bod figured he'd be even more so considering how shy he was.

[vanillajello]

Kate nodded with a laugh. "That's generally how this works, yes."

[therewaslife]

"You were slow so I can be slow too," Bod said, sliding his trunks down his hips slowly. "It's only fair."

[vanillajello]

"You have every right in the world to be as slow as you want," Kate replied agreeably, smirking as she watched him. "I wouldn't want you to rush."

[therewaslife]

"I am going to end up with a full body blush, I can just feel it," he said but he did push his trunks all the way down before stepping out of it. He couldn't help looking around either to make sure they were alone.

[vanillajello]

"We're alone," Kate replied, gently amused, as she saw him check their surroundings. "Too bad, really. They could be jealous."

[therewaslife]

"Oh, I doubt they'd be jealous," he said but he blushed anyway, looking shy. "I'm not that...I'm not like you."

[vanillajello]

"Well, then they'd just be jealous of me," she replied, smirk turning into a smile in the face of his shyness. "Because no one can have me but you."
