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

[vanillajello]

"Well that's reassuring." She lightened her touch again, a little. Other plans. "That would be very anticlimactic."

[Holy random disappearance, Batman! Sorreee.]

[therewaslife]

"You're an awful person," he said, gulping some air and taking a breath. "Awful and mean. You're such a tease."

[Hey, I've done it enough to you lately! No worries!]

[vanillajello]

"Aw, don't say that," Kate purred, lightly mocking. Hey, at least she hadn't (yet) abruptly stopped touching him or anything. "You like me for who I am. This is who I am."

[therewaslife]

"And who you are is an awful tease," he said, exhaling again. "You should take it as a compliment since you're such a good awful tease."

It...made some sense.

[vanillajello]

"You're kind of babbling," she noted, sounding far too delighted with that. "I think you should take off your pants."

Totally logical. Totally.

[therewaslife]

"I'm not wearing pants." Ha ha, Kate, Bod thought he was smart with that one since he was wearing shorts. He even managed to smirk at her.

[vanillajello]

Kate pulled her hand away and straightened up.

Ha ha, Bod.

"Smartass," she snorted.

[therewaslife]

"That's not fair!" Bod nearly moaned, frowning. "Why did you do that?"

[vanillajello]

Kate crossed her arms over her chest, and was only a little bit distracted by not being used to doing that while naked and maybe a little turned on.

"You thought it was a good time to be a smartass."

[therewaslife]

"I wasn't being a smartass," he argued, shaking his head. "I just thought you'd like to know that I wasn't wearing pants. Perhaps you hadn't realized. I was just being precise."

[vanillajello]

"You do realize you're just digging yourself into a deeper and deeper hole right now, right?" Kate checked, amused. "Should I just assume you don't want to be touched anymore?"

[therewaslife]

"I thought you'd be proud of me taking the opportunity to employ a smart mouth," Bod protested, shaking his head. "It's your influence, after all!"

[vanillajello]

"I'm going to put my clothes on and go back to sleep," she threatened, though not all that seriously. "A six month anniversary is as good a time as any to start withholding sex to get my way."

[therewaslife]

"What do want?" Bod asked, shaking his head. "You know I'll give you anything. I just couldn't resist the urge to be like you, Kate, dearest."

[vanillajello]

"Take of your shorts." Yeah, she was sure to enunciate that last word very carefully indeed. "You know that's what I want."

[therewaslife]

"All right," he said, standing up and slowly pushing his shorts down his hips and letting them pool on the floor. Due to all her touching, he was probably looking more aroused than he should but he couldn't help it.

[vanillajello]

Well, it wasn't like she was going to judge him for it or anything. In fact, she smirked, after a shameless look.

"Now lay down."

[therewaslife]

"All right," he said, sitting back down before pushing himself backwards so he could lie back on their bed. "Good?"

[vanillajello]

"Excellent." Kate was all about positive reinforcement. She padded back over to the bed. "I would like to take this moment to tell you you look really hot, by the way."

[therewaslife]

"Thank you," he said, feeling himself blush as per usual. "You look beautiful as well."

[vanillajello]

"Thank you." She didn't blush, but her smile was softer for a moment. Just briefly, before the smirk came back. "Now. Would you like to do math?"

She wasn't going to state things straightforwardly if she didn't have to.

[therewaslife]

"I...suppose we can do math if that's what you'd like to do?" Bod asked, slightly confused. "Math is just fine with me, of course."

He had no idea what she was going towards, no.

[vanillajello]

"Good," Kate replied, resisting the urge to laugh. "See, what I would like to do here is turn two into sixtynine."

She wasn't convinced even that would ring any bells, but that didn't matter, he'd get it soon enough.

[therewaslife]

Bod's brow furrowed because he was actually thinking about it mathematically. "I don't know if you can without adding additional numbers. Two's an even number and sixty nine is an odd so they don't add up."

It was not ringing bells for Bod, no.

[vanillajello]

This time, Kate did chuckle a bit. He was adorable in his cluelessness. "It's not actual math," she explained, getting one knee on the bed. "But you know how when you write a six and a nine side by side, they look like they kinda fit together?"
