33 Apocalypse Ave (and eventually to Limbo City), Friday Afternoon

[spin_kick_snap]

Last week, Kathy had been an utter lump, eating ice cream and playing sad music and watching a lot of TV while she got used to life without the guys. This week wasn't actually much easier, but Kathy's tolerance for her own moping had run out and left her needing to do something that wasn't just dwell.

Fortunately, it wasn't like she was lacking in options. With the guys gone and Raven spending most of her time out in the woods, the house was just too big and full of memories. So she was moving back to the apartment above Luke's - along with Raven, at least nominally - and this week she'd really gotten her ass in gear when it came to packing. Most of the upstairs was packed, even if those boxes were still mostly stacked downstairs, and now she was just cleaning out their old rooms of the detritus the always seemed to accumulate under furniture and in corners.

Like this old credit card bill of Dante's from...April of 2017. Kathy snorted and rolled her eyes, preparing to toss it into the bin that was half-full of junk when she noticed that one of the items on there was in Hangul. Wait. Had Dante been learning stuff in Korean?

Wait. 김치 크림 파이. Was that a-- Kathy grabbed her phone and did a quick search and yep. It was pretty much exactly the kind of website she'd been expecting with a name like that. Definitely didn't have to do with desserts, that was for damn sure.

"Oh." She wasn't entirely sure what to make of it, especially since that was back when everything had still been really...rough...between them. They'd been friends, in a tentative kind of manner, but no more. So then why...?

"Hi, Portalocity? I've got a portal scheduled to Limbo City for later on this evening, but I was wondering, could I bump it up to earlier than that? Something this afternoon would be good, yeah."

[Open for calls, texts, and visitors before she goes, and LC folks afterwards!]

"Orgy-planning is complicated," Kathy complained, wrinkling her nose. "That's not even getting into figuring out my fifth or trying to figure out whether or not it should be catered."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante kissed her gently. "Always catered."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I mean, you're the expert," Kathy teased, leaning down to rub her nose against his. Gnome kisses. Her hair fell around both of them, a veil keeping out the rest of the world. "I love you, even if we never make use of your orgy-party planning skills."

[rebelseekspizza]

"We can try other things," Dante said, kissing the tip of her nose. "I saw a TV show where they built a cabin in the woods, and it had this massive round bed that could rotate to face just the wall..."

[spin_kick_snap]

"What was on the wall?" Kathy asked, deciding to eschew the mattress entirely and just lay on top of him.

Mmm. Not as soft, but somehow far more comfortable.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Nothing, it was just a rounded wall," Dante said, "So the bed turned into its own little room when you closed it..."

His hands slid over her back.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Ooooh!" Kathy said, eyes lighting up. "It was its own tiny space then. And no one else could come in. I like that. It's part of why I always wanted a canopy bed. Besides that most little girls grow up wanting canopy beds. But our own secret little space, where it could be just the three of us."

[rebelseekspizza]

"See, I kinda love that," Dante said, running his fingers over Kathy's cheek. "I mean, if we got the round bed, you tack up some shelves, you put some food on 'em, you don't have to come out all day."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Where's my old fridge anyway?" Kathy asked. "And why isn't it next to the bed, stocked to the brim with post-coital drinks and snacks?"

They might not have a rotating bed (yet?) but they could still spend all day in the one they had, even with a superball's appetite.

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante snickered softly. "It's in the music room," he said. "Still trying to figure out if I wanna leave it there or put it here."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I vote up here!" Kathy said immediately. "The music room is close enough to the kitchen that going to grab something from the fridge is okay. But if I'm hungry up here, you'll have to walk all the way downstairs to fetch me something to eat." She paused and added, "Bare-assed."

Like Dante owned a bathrobe.

[rebelseekspizza]

"It's my house, I don't care about being bare-assed," Dante pointed out.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Tell me that in winter time," Kathy said cheerfully. "Either you'll care, which is an argument for the mini-fridge up here, or you won't care, which is an argument for you being the one to fetch shit while I stay all comfy and cozy under the blankets."

Either way, win-win for Kathy.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Ugh, such a lazy slave driver you are," Dante complained.

[spin_kick_snap]

"And yet you miss me," Kathy preened. "It's that secret masochist streak again."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Next time you better bring the heels," Dante informed her.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Hell, I'll even leave 'em here," she promised, laughing. "I'm not seeing much on my social calendar that will require them outside of the bedroom."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Has Anders ever seen 'em?" Dante wondered.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Not like you have," Kathy said. "Just around, like, in my closet. But I don't think he'd be into them. Not like that."

She still had small niggling fears she'd be too much for Anders sometimes. Dante, too, technically, but for very different reasons.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Doesn't need to be into you using them to enjoy you wearing them," Dante said. "Your legs are fucking amazing."

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy beamed at him. "And here I thought I was at my hottest when I was naked," she teased, stealing a kiss. "Isn't that what you said, like, a million years ago?"

[rebelseekspizza]

"Sure, but that doesn't mean I can't appreciate all the flavors of Kathy in between," Dante said, chasing her mouth to return that kiss.

[spin_kick_snap]

Speaking of, she could still taste herself on his lips and it made her shiver, even though she still needed some time before she was raring in the saddle again.

"You just like it cause I get bossy in heels," she murmured.

[rebelseekspizza]

"I can like you in heels for a lot of reasons," Dante said, brushing his fingers through her hair.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Just remember, if I start pestering you to take me out somewhere nice, you only have yourself to blame," Kathy said, trying to look serious and utterly failing.

His fault. He made it impossible to look at him and not smile.
