An Ice Creamery, Baltimore, Early Sunday Afternoon

[vanillajello]

Friday had been pretty spectacularly bad, and the less said about it the better. Saturday, Kate had just laid low and recuperated. And today, today was just one of those days she had to get off the island. It was just a necessity, being outside in the normal world. Not getting yelled at by vampires, not singing things that were better kept silent

Taking advantage of both the time change and his current lack of roommate, Bod was still in bed. Until just a few minutes ago, he'd been asleep but he'd woken up and was now clumsily texting something on his phone.

Mrning. His fingers were still asleep. Miss youuu.

He'd fix that in a moment.

[vanillajello]

Kate actually laughed out loud once she'd picked her phone up and read the message. Adorable.

wow, are you drunk bb?

Bod had to rub his eyes a few times to get his phone to focus and then he frowned at himself and his clumsy fingers.

No. He stretched and rolled onto his back. Just woke uppp. Sleeeepy stll.

lazy ass. <3

Yes, Kate was going to get a lot of amusement and teasing out of his current lack of typing skills.

[nimeni]

Im not lazee. He really needed to wake up and get the fogginess out of his head. The lack of typing skills were going to bother him for the rest of the year. Come bee lazy wit me?

Bod sent the text and groaned when he saw how wrong it was. He got to work on sitting up and actually making an effort to be awake.

Meanwhile, Kate leaned back in her chair, letting both computer and ice cream be for the moment while she concentrated on texting.

i think my boyfriend's phone has been stolen by the average youtube commenter.

[nimeni]

I don't know what that is. And see, he was already doing better. That was all spelled right and everything. My phone hasn't been stolen. It's with me.

[vanillajello]

well you sound more like yourself now, she had to admit. too bad. it was kind of adorable.

[nimeni]

I wasn't all the way awake yet, he sent, still laying in bed but a little more focused now. You don't like when I sound like myself? :(

[vanillajello]

it's not as generally adorable. but it's better in other ways.

[nimeni]

I can go back to sleep if you'd like, Bod offered, and text you later when I wake up again.

[vanillajello]

nooooo!

Yes, it needed to look like that so he'd understand how much she meant it.

you're awake now. i like you when you're awake.

[nimeni]

I am awake and all alone. Jacob went home. No wonder he'd slept so long. He hadn't heard anyone moving around or coming and going. Where are you?

[vanillajello]

That was a question best answered in a way other than words. Or it could've just as easily been answered in words, but she just felt like not.

So she scooped up a spoonful of ice cream, held it up to her mouth and smiled, and snapped a picture of herself and then sent it to him.

[nimeni]

Ice cream? Bod guessed even if it was obvious. Hullo, Kate and ice cream. You're going to be cold after you finish that.

[vanillajello]

no i won't. and it's kate and ice cream and baltimore, actually.

Because that was somehow relevant.
