Third Floor Common Room, Late Wednesday Morning

[vanillajello]

Kate hadn’t slept well, and was feeling pretty cranky. As a result, she didn’t really feel like dealing with people. She wouldn’t have come into the common room at all if she hadn’t thought that something there was going to make her feel better.

Namely, the vanilla jello pudding cups she’d bought the day before and stored in the common room fridge for the night.

And which she couldn’t find anymore. Because just half an hour earlier, little blue men had taken them with them.

”Who the fuck stole my pudding?!” It was safe to say that Kate was not happy.

No.

"Yes." A beat. "If I were you, I wouldn't dare to sleep at all."

"That... would make my life rather difficult," he pointed out, smiling.

[vanillajello]

"Well at least then you'd know how I feel right now," she replied, and drank what little was left in her coffee mug.

"I'm not threatening to make you suffer so badly that no sleep was preferably," he replied cheerfully. He paused. "You could come back to my room."

[vanillajello]

"Too bad that doesn't mean you're not going to make me suffer at all," she noted with a faint smile. "Sure. I could do that."

[future_sandworm]

"How brave of you." He held out a hand.

[vanillajello]

"Yes, I'm that too," she replied, taking his hand, "along with... whatever random things I've already told you I am."

[future_sandworm]

He rose from the couch. "Random? Are they ever random?"

[vanillajello]

"Probably not," she admitted, slowly getting up from the couch.

[future_sandworm]

Leto didn't reply to that. He smiled at her, then reached out to gently brush her hair aside, before turning to head back to the room.

She trailed slightly behind him, hand in his, lips curving into a light smile. It wasn't the worst morning ever after all.
