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!]

Yes, Bod found that he didn't want to take too long either so when she started jogging, he started jogging and really hoped that they got back to the tent sooner rather than later. Naked cuddling would be a lot more fun than streaking.

[vanillajello]

A lot more fun, Kate agreed. Luckily, the tent wasn't too far at all, not when they were jogging as they were.

Once Kate got to it, she all but fell in the doorway, into a laughing heap on the tent floor.

Bod dropped their swimsuits outside the tent before he followed inside. He zipped up the flap and fell backwards onto one of their sleeping bags, laughing.

Kate rolled on to her side, facing him, and still snickering.

"Well, that was... fun."

[therewaslife]

"Yes, it was," he said, laughing and catching his breath again. "I think I prefer it in here but it was fun. Something I've never done before."

[vanillajello]

"Me neither," she admitted. "Clearly we inspire each other to try new things."

[therewaslife]

"We do," he laughed, settling down and sighing. "I think we should do that cuddling thing now. It's a fun activity too."

[vanillajello]

"It is," she agreed, immediately scooting closer so she could try and drape an arm and a leg over him. "You're warm."

[therewaslife]

"So are you," Bod said, smiling and closing his eyes. "And soft. You're warm and soft."

[vanillajello]

"Like a girl ought to be," Kate joked in a murmur. "With my boobs squished against you and everything."

[therewaslife]

"Yes, with your -- " Bod trailed off and laughed. "Yes, that. That's how it's supposed to be."

[vanillajello]

"Mm." She pressed a soft kiss on his shoulder, amused. "Boobs. The word is boobs."

[therewaslife]

"I know what they are," Bod laughed, shaking his head. "They're sexy too."

[vanillajello]

"I was just about to make that very point," Kate informed him with a snicker. "Yes, they are."

[therewaslife]

Blushing, Bod just brought her closer to him. "And you should stay where you are, with your -- "

All right, he was going to say it.

" -- boobs pressed against me for awhile."

[vanillajello]

Kate snickered, but gave him a pleased little grin as she settled closer. "I can totally do that," she said, sighing happily. "You said the magic words."

[therewaslife]

"Good," he sighed, enjoying her warmth and softness and her smell and her everything. "I love you. I want you right here."

[vanillajello]

"I want to be right here," she replied softly, closing her eyes and breathing him in. "I love you too."

And she was stupidly, stupendously happy to be right here right now.
