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

[vanillajello]

Something that had been very very rare lately was happening right now: Kate was waking up happy.

Last night, Overland Park time, there had been a thing at her parents' house, just a get-together with snacks at the insistence of her mother. Neil had been there and there had been much fussing over Charmaine, and it should've been lame but... It hadn't been. Kate had actually had fun. In a dorky way. She'd even found herself gossiping in the kitchen with her mother while they got more dip and soda for everyone. It was insane, but oh so damn needed.

Kate knew she was repressing many a thing waiting for her back in Fandom, but she thought that was allowed. Anything that kept her holding on to her sanity was totally allowed. And right now, being in this room and slowly drifting to proper wakefulness without immediately stressing herself out with what other people were doing was what her sanity needed.

With a sigh, she rolled onto her back and smiled at the ceiling. It was a rare good day to be her.

"I'll be fine," he mumbled, cuddling up against her and sighing. "Yes, I'll blush and stammer but it was worth it. That was amazing."

[vanillajello]

"Amazing," Kate sighed in absolute agreement, closing her eyes. "Well worth doing again. It's been a... morning of new things. I love that we have those."

"We have those," Bod breathed, closing his eyes and keeping himself close to her. He kept one arm draped over her too. "And yes, that's well worth doing again."

He paused.

"Later. I need to recover first."

"Yes, after all that plus discovering your liking for getting rimmed, I think you deserve to take some time," Kate replied with just the barest hint of teasing. "Also, I need rest too. And then I need to examine this pillow for any new tears I might've caused."

Bod could only guess what rimming meant and pressed his face against her back to effectively hide his blush. It was definitely happening though.

"You'll have to tell me about the rimming things later too," he mumbled, shaking his head. "For now, yes, let's just rest."

[vanillajello]

"Yeah, let's."

She reached out to pull one of the blankets more on top of them, then cuddled back closer to him. She could do resting, yes. Very easily.
