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.]

"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."

[therewaslife]

"I wasn't," he said, shaking his head. "You can ask any of the ghosts I knew back in the graveyard. I was a very nice boy with an occasional rebellious streak. That's all."

[vanillajello]

"Don't argue with me," she chided him lightly. "You're a smartass if I say so."

It wasn't particularly sound logic but she squirmed again. That ought to help him forget.

[therewaslife]

"Why can't I argue with you?" Bod wondered, leaning forward and giving her lower lip a nip. "You can argue with me but I can't argue with you?"

[vanillajello]

"Time and a place for arguing," Kate murmured against his lips. "I don't think this is it. So... I shouldn't argue with you either. Don't use that against me."

[therewaslife]

"And are you going to stop me from using that against you?" Bod asked, smiling at her. "Make me, Kate Gregson. Make me."

[vanillajello]

"Ooh, full name taunting, someone means busines," Kate smirked. "Fine, then, Bod Owens. I will."

For right now, that meant... moving off his lap and getting to her feet. Huh.

[therewaslife]

"Where are you going?" Bod asked, frowning at her. "You're teasing me."

[vanillajello]

"Well, would you look at that? It appears I am!" She smirked again, and hooked her thumbs under the waistband of her underwear. "Funny how that happens."

[therewaslife]

"Mean," Bod said, still frowning. "You're mean and awful and you make me sad. What am I supposed to do now?"

[vanillajello]

"Strip," Kate replied, trying not to snicker at his frowning. "And watch."

Not that she was doing anything particularly interesting, yet.

[therewaslife]

"I'm watching," he told her, nodding. His attention was all on her. "I'm watching you and nothing else."
