Fourth Floor Common Room | Afternoon | Friday | January 28

With his one class over and done, Nathan found himself almost energetic. He didn't want to go laze around his room like he usually did and he didn't want to smoke near his window in his most sincere imitation of a hipster emo poet douchebag. He didn't (and wouldn't ever) have the beard or scarf for that.

He ended up in the common room because that was the next best thing to going into town. This little dinky island had absolutely no nightlife to speak of which was unbearably sad and needed to be changed. Of course, Nathan had no money and no drive to really change that but he'd perfectly happy to encourage someone with a round of applause should they take the initiative.

Nathan clicked on the television and then actually practiced jumping onto the couch. He wanted to see what positions he could contort his body into before landing. There was the flat on your back, flat on your stomach, stretched on your side, tuck 'n roll, ass down, and swan dive. Eventually, he stayed on his stomach, head pillowed on his arms while he watched whatever the fuck was on the television.

So much for his energy. He was fickle like that.

"Wrong! I followed the assignment. I did nothing wrong. I even got complimented for my inventiveness." Okay, Caroline had just agreed that it was inventive but he took it as a compliment. "I did not have that coming to me. No one gets to abuse me."

Kate raised her eyebrows again. "Yeah I doubt the assignment called for you guessing at what this chick was personally looking for in bed," she said. "You can't have expected her to take kindly to that."

"I was taking the initiative," Nathan answered, rolling his eyes. "Honestly, I should have been applauded and praised, not punched. She was just lucky she didn't do permanent damage to my beautiful eyes."

"You're lucky you didn't get reprimanded for sexual harassment," she retorted, looking his face over. "And that she didn't do more damage. I'm pretty sure some girls here could kill you with their pinkie, and not even break a nail doing it."

"As long as someone's worthy of her hate, Caroline said she'd help me out," Nathan shared, smirking smugly. Look, hearing that was kind of cool especially since he knew Caroline had those special abilities.

"So, I got some backup," he shared, nodding. "I'd love to see her take someone's face off with the heel of one of her boots. She's got like fifty of them."

Kate rolled her eyes at the mention of Caroline, but at least she was feeling mellow enough today to not actually make a face.

"Well, it's nice that you have a bodyguard," she said instead, scraping the bottom of the pudding cup with her spoon. "You need one."

"Why do you hate my roommate so much, Kate?" Nathan asked, completely amused by her continued reactions at the mention of Caroline. "It can't just be the 'fucking your ex' thing. It's not like he's pouting because you're dating some rich douche."

Kate resisted another eyerol, and suppressed a sigh. Instead, she slanted a somewhat impassive glance his way. "Can we not talk about her?"

"Well, she's my roommate." And his friend and he kind of cared about her, shhh. "It's hard not to mention her sometimes especially when she's relevant to the conversation at hand. Though, I wouldn't consider her a bodyguard. More like...a concerned party. She wouldn't want to lose the roommate she adores."

Caroline probably didn't adore him. Nathan thought it was a matter of time.

"Mmhm," Kate agreed, vaguely, eyes on the cup. "Well, you are adorable."

And she might have been saying that just to distract him onto another subject.

"You think I'm adorable?" Nathan asked, pleased but perhaps a little skeptical. Girls didn't tend to just come out with that.

Well, Kate kind of thought no one ever said anything without some sort of an agenda, anyway.

"Yes," she said, sticking her finger in the cup to swipe the remaining pudding on it. "On occasion."

"And what sorts of occasions would those be?" Nathan asked, suitably distracted from talking about Caroline for the moment. "Please, share with me your deeply personal and deeply intimate feelings."

Swiftly and neatly sucking her finger clean was the perfect excuse for a pause, not that she really needed it to come up with something.

"Sometimes when you smile."

"And yet, sometimes not?" Nathan asked, making her face at the near sex she was having with the remains of her pudding.

Kate glanced over at him, the corners of her mouth quirking upwards just a bit. "Well, you tend to shatter the illusion by talking."

"I think you're just jealous," Nathan remarked, shrugging a shoulder. "You want to be as adorable as me and as witty as me and since you can't, you're forced into slighting me to make yourself look better. How sad, Kate."

"Hey, if i'd wanted to slight you I would've said you're never adorable," Kate shrugged, moving onto her other pudding cup. "I just find it hard to find you adorable when you're talking about random girls wanting guys to come on them."

"It takes a special breed of girl to find me adorable and I guess you just don't have the talent," he said, smug. "I'm sure you're too busy finding blokes who wear loafers and cardigans all kinds of adorable. So adorable you can't even keep your hands off them and you must ravish them at once, cardigan and all!"

"What makes you think adorable is even a quality I'm attracted to?" Kate wondered, like it wasn't. "Could totally be a quality I'm definitely not looking for in a partner."

"Are you saying it's not a quality you're attracted to?" Nathan asked, just asking point blank because he wasn't about get himself run in circles because she wanted to be confusing.

Oh like that waould stop her from being difficult.

"Why should I tell you?" Kate asked, but then added, because this was supposed to be a somewhat easy day, "I'm attracted to a lot of different things. That's one, in some people. Sometimes."

"Some people? Who, besides me, is hitting your adorable meter recently?" Nathan asked curiously. "Who is wearing cardigans that just make your loins heat up because you just must have that checkered pattern of softness against your skin."

Kate rolled her eyes. "I don't have a cardigan fetish, but I'm starting to think you might. And I didn't say it was a quality that's been getting a lot of my attention lately."

"So, this rich douche Zach isn't adorable?" Nathan inferred from that statement. "What is he, then? A good lay? Don't make me start singing that fucking awful golddigger song, Kate. Cuz, I will."
