Overland Park, KS, A Morning in May [Wednesday Fandom Time]

The stupid thing about going to Kansas was that time was much slower. Kate was painfully aware that while she'd already been gone from Fandom over two days, it had barely been 18 hours for her. Still, after a night at home, she was just about starting to feel a little less raw. The general nausea had abated, at least, as had the panic.

The guilt, however irrational she knew it to be, would probably stay for a while.

Stretching out on her bed, Kate reached to get her phone from the nightstand, then turned it on. For a moment, she thought about making a call – to Bod, to Jack, to Mitchell, to Hannibal, to anyone – but she decided against it, unable to really decide what it was she wanted to say to any one of them. (Except maybe Hannibal. There was a certain amount of I get it now present.) She put the phone down on the bed next to her.

She'd be available now; that'd have to be enough.

[ooc: NFB, but open for phone calls and texts! Whoo, taking advantage of my 1,5 days at home.]

"I'm sure they'd find other people that could easily fill those positions," he murmured, leaning forward to rest his forehead against hers. "I'd rather stay with you."

He didn't catch on immediately. In fact, he thinking too small. "Next door...into your brother's room?"
therewaslife: (→ | oh yeah)

"That...makes more sense," Bod said, looking sheepish. "Are you really going to move over there? On your own?"

"Your aunt might mind a strange boy staying there," he mumbled, nuzzling his nose against her cheek. He pressed a kiss against the same cheek.
therewaslife: (↑ | pretty good yep)

"If you'd like me to stay," Bod said quietly, running a line of kisses from her cheek to her ear where he whispered, "I'll stay."

"A - all right," Bod said, having to blink at the change from one extreme to another. He eased back and nodded. "All right. I'll go back."

Bod was feeling some confusion now too. He chewed on his lower lip. "I...don't know what I'm supposed to do right now. I don't want to go because I don't want you to be alone but if you want me to go so you can have time to yourself and with your family, I will. I just...don't know which I'm supposed to do."

Bod hadn't exactly expected rambling either. He smiled softly at her, gently, and reached out to bring her close to him again. "I can pretend that you're going to graduate this weekend. I can sleep in your brother's room on the floor and I can help your father do his landscaping if that helps. I'd like to stay so you're not alone even if you need time on your own."
therewaslife: (↑ | shucks)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-06-09 02:20 pm (UTC)(link)
"Well, I wouldn't sleep there long, I assume," he said into her shoulder. Her embrace was being returned tightly. "I'd stay in there long enough to throw suspicion off of me sneaking in to sleep with you."
therewaslife: (↑ | pretty good yep)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-06-09 02:24 pm (UTC)(link)
"I don't think I could be so close to you at night and not sleep with you," Bod returned with a smile. "It would be nearly impossible."
therewaslife: (↑ | lazy grin)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-06-09 02:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"And do you remember how that turned out?" Bod sure did. He thought about it quite often because of how it turned out.
therewaslife: (↑ | i am adorable)

[personal profile] therewaslife 2011-06-09 02:31 pm (UTC)(link)
"Yes well, that was only because you woke up before I did," Bod admitted with a laugh. "If I'd woken up first, I would have lost. I just happened to be asleep."

"Without hesitation," he said, laughing at her reaction. "I would have taken one look at you and been unable to resist. It would have been elementary, me joining you."
