Room 502, Monday, Around Period 2

[vanillajello]

Kate woke up cold. She wasn't going to blame Bod for that; the ice age thing (not that she was aware of that yet) was kind of a surprise, and no one could've expected him to remember to turn up the heat for her, when she'd still been a cat with plenty of fur when he'd left.

She wasn't one anymore, obviously. No, she was a naked girl curled up awkwardly on his bed, and she was shivering as she woke up. That alone was enough to urge her to get up and stumble over to his dresser for a pair of his shorts and a shirt, and then after a moment's hesitation, also an ill-fitting pair of jeans and a sweater. Sure, it looked beyond ridiculous with the way the clothes were hanging on her thin frame but whatever, she wanted to get warmed up quickly.

Sufficiently clothed, Kate padded over to look over the stuff on Bod's desk, hoping to find something to eat. Human food was kind of a craving right now.

Bod was rubbing his hands together when he made it back to his room. He blew some warm air into them before opening the door but he stopped when he noticed Kate was back to her human shape and was wearing his clothes.

His clothes that were far, far too big on her. He muffled a laugh behind his hand and said, "Welcome back, Kate."

[vanillajello]

"Hey." Kate threw a quick smile his way, clearly distracted by her very important task of peering at his desk. "Did you bring anything to eat?"

Priorities.

[therewaslife]

"I didn't because I didn't know you were going to turn back today but there are some crackers in the bottom drawer," Bod said, stepping inside and shutting the door.

"I apologize for the temperature," he added, dropping his satchel near the door. "The island's moved again."

[vanillajello]

"Not your fault," she replied, crouching a bit to reach for the bottom drawer (and tugging the jeans upwards a bit with one hand while doing that). "'Less you caused it. Did you cause it?"

[therewaslife]

"How would I cause it?" he asked, snickering and getting the heat going. "I don't have the ability to cause the island to move to what looks to be a very, very cold climate. There's snow on the ground."

Bod did like snow so he couldn't be too upset about the change. "How are you doing? Feeling disoriented at all?"

[vanillajello]

Kate shrugged. "I have a mild urge to come over and rub my sides against your legs," she remarked as she straightened up, box of crackers in the process of getting opened. "General cat fuzziness still. Nothing too bad."

[therewaslife]

"Would you like me to retrieve you some of your own clothes or are you all right in mine?" he asked, wandering over to press a kiss against her hair. "They're a little big on you."

[vanillajello]

"I'm totally fine with yours," she sighed, immediately leaning into him a bit once he got close enough. "Yeah, they're a little big but I'm liking that right now."

[therewaslife]

"It's Monday, by the way," he murmured, wrapping an arm around her and closing his eyes. "It's been about six days as a cat for you this time."

[vanillajello]

"Sounds about right," Kate replied, turning her head to nuzzle his neck a bit, still cradling the box of crackers. "I missed another anniversary. Happy three month anniversary, boyfriend."

[therewaslife]

"At least you remembered," he chuckled, sighing and smiling. "I didn't even remember. Happy three month anniversary, girlfriend. You spent it as a cat but you were very cuddly."

[vanillajello]

"Fourteenth of every month," she sighed, and pressed a kiss against his jaw. "I mostly remember 'cause our... ten month anniversary is gonna fall on Valentine's Day."

And look at her thinking they were going to make it that long.

[therewaslife]

He kind of liked hearing that she thought that, honestly. It made him smile and sigh again.

"We'll have to make it a double celebration then," Bod decided, nodding. "A celebration for Valentine's Day and a celebration for the anniversary. That just means you'll get spoiled."

[vanillajello]

"And you won't?" Well, she had to ask, even if she agreed that that was likely to happen. "I might spoil you too, for putting up with my fabulous self for so long."

[therewaslife]

"Well, I didn't want to assume," Bod laughed, giving her one last squeeze before reaching for a cracker and offering it to her. "I know I'll spoil you but you spoiling me is your choice."

[vanillajello]

"Now you're just making it sound like a chore to spoil me," Kate teased, before she tried catching the cracker between her teeth.

Because she was totally not used to having hands yet, or something.

[therewaslife]

"It is not a chore," he laughed, letting go of the cracker so she could take it before reaching for one of his own. "I enjoy spoiling you. You're fun to spoil and you really deserve it."

[vanillajello]

Kate bit off part of the cracker, and yes, caught the rest between her fingers. "You just like spoiling me because it generally leads to good things for you too."

[therewaslife]

"No, I like spoiling you because it makes you smile," Bod argued, shaking his head. "That's the only incentive I need to spoil you."

[vanillajello]

"Because you like it when I smile," Kate retorted. "See? Good things for you."

[therewaslife]

Bod laughed and let her go so he could put something a little warmer on now that he was in for the day. "I do indeed like it when you smile. Would you like me to go down to the common room and get you something a little more sufficient to eat?"

[vanillajello]

"Could you?" Well, Kate was pretty sure he would but sometimes even she could be polite. She tugged the jeans up a bit again. "Maybe some, like, bread or something?"

[therewaslife]

"Yes," he said and dropped a light kiss against her lips. "And there are some belts hanging in the closet if you'd like to stop holding my pants up. Or there's pajama pants in one of my drawers as well."

[vanillajello]

"Holding your pants up is good exercise." Which didn't mean she wasn't going to go get a belt as soon as he left. Just not before. "It's too late for pajamas."

[therewaslife]

Chuckling, Bod headed for the door and said, "I'll be right back. Stay warm." With that said, he slipped out the door and headed to the common room to get her some food.
