Overland Park, KS, Friday Morning (September)

[vanillajello]

Six plus six was twelve, and twelve was the same as one, if you were talking about months first and then switched to years. The bottom line was, Kate and Bod had now been an item for a whole year in total. (There really was no need to talk about that four month gap between the first and second six month stretches. Because that was just a really fucking depressing topic all around.) And that was a huge fucking deal.

Enough of a huge fucking deal for it to be the first thing Kate become conscious of as she woke up this morning, all warm and tangled up with Bod, in their bed, in their room, just like they had been every night for the past week or so. That alone would've made her happy, but remembering the anniversary made her doubly so.

So, as much as it saddened her to do it, she tried slowly disentangling herself from her pale, pale boyfriend, so she'd be able to slip out of bed in her panda-print tunic. There was something she wanted to get from downstairs.

[ooc: NFB, and for that guy in the bed.]

Comments

"You might," she shrugged, tracing a spiral against one of his shoulders with a fingernail. "Everyone ends up needing forgiving sooner or later."

[therewaslife]

"You're right, I might," he agreed and dipped his fingers just underneath the waist of her panties. "At least I know I've forgiveness saved up now, hmm?"

[vanillajello]

"Like money in the bank," Kate agreed, with another little shiver. "For... emergencies or whatnot."

[therewaslife]

"You're making yourself sound like a forgiveness savings account," Bod said, leaning forward to kiss her shoulder. "Should I be depositing something in you?"

That...sounded dirty even to Bod.

[LJ never gave me this notif. Ugh, I am so sorry!]

[vanillajello]

Which meant it sounded even dirtier to Kate. Who promptly dissolved into a fit of laughter. The shoulder her was trying to kiss shook.

"Oh, Bod."

[therewaslife]

"That didn't sound so bad in my head," Bod admitted, blushing a bright shade of red. "I don't know what I was thinking with that statement. I apologize."

[vanillajello]

Still snickering, Kate buried her face in the crook his neck for a second, then kissed his red cheek. "Well would you like to deposit something in me?"

She tried her hardest for a sultry tone but was cracking up by the end of it.

[therewaslife]

"You're an awful person and I hate you," Bod said, not meaning it at all. "Awful awful awful."

[vanillajello]

For that, she nipped at his earlobe. "No, you love me," she whispered. "You love me. Me and my totally dirty effects on you."

[therewaslife]

"You're laughing at me!" Bod pointed out, shaking his head. "Does that count as dirty effects?"

[vanillajello]

"No but the fact that you even noticed you said something accidentally dirty-sounding? That does." She pulled back enough to nod mock seriously at him. "Your mind's corrupted."

[therewaslife]

"My mind is not corrupted," Bod said, shaking his head at her. "That's just your imagination. I'm just aware enough to recognize when I say something that, in effect, sounds dirty."

[vanillajello]

"Yeah but you didn't used to be," she pointed out. "I know because I've had to spell your accidental dirty stuff out to you."

[therewaslife]

"Well, I was bound to learn something from you after all these months," he said, brushing her hair back with his fingers. "You're a bad, bad influence."

[vanillajello]

Kate smirked. "Maybe but you like it. It's basically why you have me practically naked in your lap right now."

[therewaslife]

"Are you saying you don't want to be here right now?" Bod wondered, not thinking that was the case at all. "How sad."

[vanillajello]

"Yeah," Kate replied. While leaning into lick his neck. Slowly. "That's totally it."

[therewaslife]

"Then, why are you still here?" he murmured, tilting his head backwards and sighing.

[vanillajello]

"Because I'd be bored elsewhere?" she offered, with a lazy trail of kisses up his neck, a little bit of teeth here and there. "I don't know."

[therewaslife]

"You don't know why you're still here?" Bod asked, snickering. "I'm not reason enough for you?"

[vanillajello]

"No, that's not it." How was she supposed to think of coherent lies when she was distracting herself with kissing his neck. "I'm too busy to think about things like that."

[therewaslife]

"You're too busy to think about things like me?" Bod asked, deliberately misunderstanding. "How sad!"

[vanillajello]

Kate bit his neck a little bit more sharply, though not hard enough to leave a mark "Smartass," she murmured, then licked over the bit of skin she'd just bitten.

[therewaslife]

Bod hissed and pressed his hand a little more firmly against her back. "If you're calling me that then you truly are a bad influence on me since I wasn't always a...that."

[vanillajello]

Kate's lips trailed a little lower before she nipped at his skin again. "No, I bet you were."
