The Blue Squid, Baltimore, Thursday Night

Anders had chosen this bar carefully. He wanted one where there would be a minimal chance Kathy would feel compelled to break up a fight, which left Pogue Mahone and anything in its neighborhood off the table. (Anders was a bit sad he couldn't introduce her to the wonders of potato nachos.) The place he brought her to instead was larger and bright inside, with countless TVs showing the playoffs for something or other. But it was clean, and the waiters seemed inclined to leave them alone, and that was enough.

"So," he asked Kathy, once they'd claimed their booth, "how do you want to start this? Beer's traditional, but we could get something stronger if you just want to get drunk fast."

"Speak for yourself," Kathy told him. "This will be just enough to keep me going. I fully intend to have to stagger away instead."

Because why go out on the town for drinks with a bestie if you weren't going to give it your all!

"Yeah," she admitted. "I have trouble enough with saying--things--during. Like, unless I'm so into it that I'm not even thinking about being self-conscious. So trying to have a talk with all my clothes on without blushing myself into a faint is hard. But I feel like I should be able to, you know? Sex is--" She stopped, looked around, and lowered her voice. "Sex is just sex, you know? Or should be."

"Well, yeah, back in the Circle, maybe," Kathy said. "But--what about you and Nathan? I mean, obviously, you don't have to share details if you're not comfortable--I respect your and Nathan's privacy--I just meant..." She was going to finish that off with a hand gesture, which would likely explain everything, right?

"I'm scandalizing for two now, huh?" Kathy teased, before becoming serious again. "Though--I just wanna tell you how great a boyfriend I think you're being. As someone else who needs time to work up to things, I respect anyone who doesn't push me. Even if you had to learn it, the important thing is that you did."

She fell silent as the waiter delivered their shakes, and took up again once he was gone. "That's one of the reasons I do like Dante. And Ezra. They both were very clear that they wanted me, but neither of them have tried to pressure me into doing anything more than what I felt comfortable with. And they didn't treat me differently after I said no. I--I like saying no at first, I think. Because you find out a lot more about a person by how they handle your no than from how they handle a yes."

"I dunno," Kathy said, giving Anders a sly grin. "I've found I do more talking in bed. Or, at least doing bedroom activities. At least, if we're talking about the kind of talking that's included in my list of kinks."

Oooh, hey! The alcohol was definitely hitting her now!

"Umm..." She was bright red at the disclosure. "Sometimes mine is, but his isn't," she said with a delicate cough. "And sometimes you can't be doing things--like because you're not in the same place, or you are but you're in public--and that's a fun way to get, err, started. Before you can get started."

"That's what friends do," Kathy declared. "Friends don't let friends live kinkless."

Or...something like that.

"But...yeah. I like words. A lot. When someone tells me that they want me...tells me exactly what they want to do to me? How is that not hot? And getting all keyed up when you can't actually do anything? Or taking risks to do something even though you shouldn't? That starts the blood pumping and the heart racing already."

Whereas Kathy'd had a harder time forgetting that, at least since the mirror fantasy back in March. But now, several drinks under her belt, she was more than happy to share her newfound knowledge with her friend.

"Oooh, yeah, I can see that," Kathy said. "Obviously, you'd have to trust them implicitly, but being helpless and letting them do anything they wanted to you...they could drive you crazy." And from her expression, that possibility would be delightful. "See, now, know what I'd do with something like that? I'd grab your wrists and hold them before doing anything else. Build up the expectation that wrist-holding led to being tied up or whatever, yeah? And then once that connection was formed, I'd start grabbing your wrists in public. Like, it's a perfectly innocent gesture that no one would think twice about, but I'd know what it mean and you'd know and--see what I mean?"

Kathy approved!

"And you said you didn't know if you had any kinks," Kathy teased. "Especially if every time they looked at you, they smirked and played with it?"

Kathy also was developing a thing for smirks. Go figure.

"Denial and expectation can be fun to play with."

"And the waiting," Kathy agreed. "Heightening everything up to a fever pitch until it just all finally breaks loose and you just have to pounce? That's the best. When there's no room to think, just need."

Oh. Her drink was broken again. That was very sad.

She would feel very sorry about all the brain breaking tomorrow, Anders. Really.

"Exactly," Kathy said, clapping. "And by that time, even when you're done you're not done because you've been so needy for that long."

Kathy held up two fingers so the waitress would know that she was getting drinks for the both of them, then turned back to Anders. "Thank you!" she said, beaming. "I hope that they agree. And you know what? I wish I were attracted to girls! There are more of us in school than there are boys. And we're all...soft and pretty, you know? Though there's something to be said about hot and hard and heavy..."

Where had she been going with this again? The soft fuzz over her brain was making it hard to keep track of the thread of conversation.

"We are prettier," Kathy agreed. "But the sensation of being filled--"

OH MY GOD, KATHY. WHY WERE YOU STILL TALKING!

...Oh right. Pretty drunk.

"Hi!" she said merrily to the waitress who'd returned with their drinks. "Your hair is very pretty. You're very pretty. Because we're girls and girls are pretty!"

The waitress just gave Kathy the patient smile of someone well-used to dealing with drunk patrons and handed their drinks over.
