Room 324, Sunday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

After some time spent in the crazy pony-filled common room, Kate retreated back into her own quarters to hang out. Apart from putting her ring on, she hadn't gotten any further dressed than she had been for breakfast. The shorts and flannel shirt combo was comfortable, and considering there were ponies running around, people could just deal with her legs if they happened to wander on by.

Wasn't like the ponies were wearing any clothes. She was trying not to think about that.

And she was pretty successful in that endeavor. After all, most of her focus was going into looking at stuff on her laptop. Namely, trying to find out what people were paying for barely used Vespas, and looking at holiday destinations where you might find a place to hang a hammock.

No reason, really.

Thankfully, Bod had avoided the whole pony thing too. It was probably for the best since he tended to get antsy when he wasn't himself. He found himself peeking inside Kate's room to check to see if she was a pony before saying anything.

[vanillajello]

Kate was thankfully not a pony. She was, however, sitting by her desk with her back towards the door, and didn't notice him because she was just that focused on what she was doing.

At that moment, it was looking at the site for a rental cabin in Hawaii.

Bod smiled when he saw Kate was just Kate and took a few steps into the room quietly. He thought about sneaking up on her but decided not to because he didn't want to startle her.

"Hullo," he finally said, standing a few feet behind her and smiling. "I'm sorry to interrupt."

[vanillajello]

Kate was a bit startled anyway, but not too badly. She quickly clicked another tab open, then turned to smile at him over her shoulder.

"Hey, you," she said. "I was just thinking about you."

[therewaslife]

"Oh?" Bod asked, taking a few steps closer. "Why were you thinking about me? I hope it was something good."

[vanillajello]

"It's always something good," she smirked up at him. "Come on, give me some credit. But I'm not sure I'm gonna tell you why, just yet."

[therewaslife]

"You're going to keep it a secret from me?" Bod wondered, coming over and dropping a kiss on top of her head. "That's going to just make me even more curious."

[vanillajello]

"That's usually how it goes, isn't it?" Kate teased. "It's the kinda thing to get curious about."

[therewaslife]

"You would make me tell you if our roles were reversed," Bod pointed out, putting his hands on her shoulders and giving them a squeeze. "Is it a good secret?"

[vanillajello]

"It's a good secret," she assured him, giving a happy little sigh. "Besides, I haven't even decided yet how much of a secret I'm going to keep it. Maybe you'll try to make me tell you and I will."

[therewaslife]

"Honestly, I'm not sure how one would go about getting a secret out of someone," he admitted quietly. "Most of the time, I'm of the mind that people should get to keep their secrets."

[vanillajello]

"Even ones that are about you?" she asked, tilting her head back to peer up at him. Upside down. "You have so much more restraint than I do."

[therewaslife]

"If there's a secret about me, I'll hope I'll some day know but I won't pressure anyone," he said and dipped down to kiss her while she was upside down. "If they don't, I'll go on as normal."

[vanillajello]

"Patient boy," Kate murmured, distracted. "That was fun. Do that again."

She meant the kiss.

[therewaslife]

"Do what again?" Bod asked even if he knew. He lowered himself down and kissed her again, lingering this time.

[vanillajello]

The mild strain to her neck aside, Kate found it really really nice that he chose to linger. It was probably that kind of a day for her. She even hummed a bit in appreciation.

[therewaslife]

Bod pulled away and smiled at her from the unconventional but close position. "Hullo there. How are you today?"

[vanillajello]

"I'm good," Kate replied, quietly. Still smiling back at him, yes. "Glad to not be a pony or a unicorn or anything like that."

[therewaslife]

"As am I," Bod said, letting a lot of his affection for her show through in how he brushed his fingers down her cheeks and towards her neck. "I don't handle not being myself very well."

[vanillajello]

"I know," she sighed. "Who could forget how your inability to be a girl translated into sulking in the bathroom like a total chick?"

She said it with wryness and love, because that particular day hadn't been easy for her either.

[therewaslife]

"Well, I'd just gotten used to being me," he explained and kissed her again, laughing as he did. "It was hard to be someone else even if yes, I know, I wasn't really someone else mentally."

[vanillajello]

"Mm." Idly, she tried nipping at his lip, as awkward as it was from this angle. "You know, I find it so weird how people differ like that. I mean, I have way more of a problem with actually being someone else, but the body thing is borderline fine for me."

[therewaslife]

"Perhaps one day it'll be fine for me as well," he said and laughed. "Is your heading starting to throb yet?"

[vanillajello]

"My neck is kinda unhappy," she admitted with a chuckle. "I might wanna get up from this chair, actually."

[therewaslife]

"Are you done with what you were working on?" Bod asked, leaning away from her so she could pick her head back up. "I didn't want to interrupt."
