The Apartment Above Luke's, Thursday Evening

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy was still glowing from yesterday's museum trip with Anders and now tonight Dante was coming over for the evening, too. She appreciated the lengths they were going to make sure she didn't feel too lonely or lost while she was still adjusting to being back. She'd had a whole evening planned out as a thank you to Dante over it...

But then there had been puppies. She'd come in from her shower and decided to take a minute to refresh her Tumblr before drying off and getting dressed, and then she'd stumbled over a link for a pet adoption website that curated pictures of dogs that needed to be adopted from nearby shelters if you put in your zip code. Which Kathy, more fool her, had done.

And now was scrolling through picture after picture of adorable romping puppies and distinguished older dogs all looking for forever homes and who even knew what time it was anymore, there were puppies.

[For that guy]

"You could have filled a gap," Kathy informed him, tossing her hair of her shoulder. "But, nope, that's off the table now, too."

She was the lyingest liar who ever lied.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Sure, I believe that," said Dante.

Not believing it.

[spin_kick_snap]

"I have a vibrator, I can make my own fun," Kathy threatened. "Let you watch, just so you know what you're missing out on."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Oh no," Dante said, making big eyes. "How am I gonna survive that?"

[spin_kick_snap]

"Suffering is how," Kathy informed him. "I'll be there, coming hard, the light catching how wet I am, vibe working me over...and you'll just have your hands. Hope they can tickle you to something better than you're getting from me.."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Yeah... guess I'm just going to have to sit there with my dick in my hand, all alone," Dante said, smirking at her.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Which is infinitely less fun then sitting there with your dick in me, but you need to be taught a lesson," Kathy said with a firm nod.

The lesson was probably going to be part six in the 'Kathy was bad at consequences' series.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Wanna see who cracks first?"

Oh children.

[spin_kick_snap]

"You just know that I'm a soft-touch, especially when you're all pathetic looking," Kathy informed him.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Uh huh," Dante said, smirking at her.

Lazily.

[spin_kick_snap]

"Don't give me that face," Kathy said, because she was weak and that smirk was deadly. "You're not allowed to come into my house and tickle me and then smirk at me like that. It's against the rules."

Her house had a lot more rules in it now than it had like forty-five minutes ago.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Sounds like a lot of rules you're making just to keep your panties on," Dante sighed.

[spin_kick_snap]

She knew he was speaking metaphorically, but she just had to open her bathrobe and flash him. It was to prove a point!

[rebelseekspizza]

"Metaphorical panties," Dante said, pointing at her crotch.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy raised her eyebrow at him, giving a deliberate look from his finger to her crotch and back. "Pointing is very rude, you know," she said, grinning. Well, okay. Smirking. "I deserve a kiss and an apology."

[rebelseekspizza]

"You can get a kiss," Dante offered, leaning over.

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy leaned over to meet him, still grinning. "Not where I meant the kiss to go," she said, but stealing one anyway.

[rebelseekspizza]

"Maybe later," Dante said. "You owe me dinner first, anyway."

[spin_kick_snap]

"So demandy," Kathy said, and stole a second one just to teach him a lesson. "We're having fajitas, by the way. And you're going to have to help me with the steak unless you're willing to settle for vegetarian ones."

[rebelseekspizza]

"Oh, so you just lured me here to make me cook things," Dante sighed. "I see how it is."

[spin_kick_snap]

"Hey, you're free to just eat yours with mushrooms and veggies like I am," Kathy said cheerfully, clearly not taking her shaming to heart. "I'm happy either way."

[rebelseekspizza]

Dante stuck his tongue out. "That sounds terrible," he said. "How can anyone live like that?"

[spin_kick_snap]

Kathy gestured to herself, fingers brushing over the skin revealed by the open bathrobe. "I do so and I'm managing just fine."

Please to not be pointing out all the ways that was a goddamn lie, Dante.

[rebelseekspizza]

"You get a pass," Dante decided. "But just you. All other vegetarians are weird."

[spin_kick_snap]

"I only get a pass because you know how much I hate being a vegetarian," Kathy snickered, fastening her robe again and heading into the kitchen. "And that I'd trade you in for a cow if I could."

One day she'd get you back, beef. One day.
