33 Apocalypse Ave., Friday Evening

Anders was doing his best to be stealthy as he crept down the sidewalk toward the house. He was almost disappointed that nothing had changed in the last few days -- somehow he wanted the island to look different, now that he didn't live here.

Of course, he thought, he might notice more changes if he stayed away for more than a few days at a time.

He paused at the edge of the yard and eyed the house. "I don't see any lights on," he whispered to Dante. "Do you think she's home?"

"Maybe she's already moved to the apartment...?" Dante whispered back, huddling close. "Shit."

"I think Raven mostly sleeps in the woods," Dante posited. "Think we're good being idiots."

He walked up to the door and knocked.

Kathy honestly expected it to be the delivery rickshaw for her enormous order from Il Pollo. If she'd known the guys were coming out tonight, she would have worn something a little more flattering. Instead, she answered the door with hair in a messy bun, wearing one of Dante's old t-shirts and a pair of Anders' old sweatpants, with a light blanket wrapped around her shoulders.

Look, she'd been watching K-dramas and bingeing on wine and chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream. She hadn't been expecting company.

"...Guys?" she asked, blinking at them both for a second in shock.

And chagrin. Because of course they'd find her like this, disheveled and ridiculous.

Fuck, it was good to see her. Dante grinned.

"And we're starving," he joked.

Kathy didn't bother responding to their quips. She was too busy throwing herself at them both, arms wide and demanding a kiss. From each of them. Or many kisses. Something like that.

"Oh my god, I missed you both so much!"

Kathy's face was in use. Dante'd just have to settle for kissing her neck and her jaw. "It was fucking tragic."

Kathy pulled Anders in for a deep, hello, I-missed-you-like-crazy kiss, cupping his face with her hands so he wouldn't be able to move until she'd kissed the breath out of him. And then she was turning slightly to deliver the same to Dante, nipping his bottom lip before she finally pulled away.

"I didn't think you'd be willing to come back this soon!"

"So..." Dante leaned back, grinning at her. "Pizza?"

"I already ordered Italian," Kathy informed him, hands on her hips. "Though I supposed there might be enough to share since I have two wayward, hungry guys on my doorstep."

She moved back inside, mostly because she wasn't done kissing their faces but figured it would be better to not do that out on the street. "Come inside and tell me all about your first week. And how much you missed me."

They were free to focus on that bit, if they liked. It had been a long, cold, lonely four nights of sleeping by herself.

"And we caught up on shitty Limbo City TV," Dante informed her, kicking the door shut behind them. "Very important."

"I spent a fair bit of time catching up on K-dramas and telenovellas," Kathy admitted, catching their hands in hers and leading them into the living room. "Both of which are great when your brain just doesn't wanna do anything."

Like, say, because you were missing your boyfriends something fierce and sad about being apart from them.

...Not that anything about the ice cream, wine, and sweatpants gave that away at all.

"How about we don't talk about that and just go on to not be sad around each other already?" Dante said, giving her hand a squeeze.

Saved from the devastating effect of Anders' puppy eyes. Kathy squeezed Dante's hand in appreciation. "I like that idea," she said, more than happy to skip over a week of sad and lonely. "You're here now. That's what matters."

"Somebody's in love with somebody else but they can't be together because reasons?" Dante asked. Said. One of those things.

"Not every K-drama is like that," Kathy retorted, her nose in the air.

Beat.

"But this one is, yeah. This elite general from the 1300s travels to the present day to find a doctor who can heal the empress after her throat is slit, but accidentally kidnaps a plastic surgeon instead."

Beat.

"It's better than it sounds, shut up."

"And is he hot?" Dante asked, collapsing backwards onto the sofa.

[personal profile] spin_kick_snap 2018-09-06 04:09 pm (UTC)(link)
Kathy had her hands up over her face and was laughing hard enough to turn her cheeks red. Called out. It's possible she'd watched a few too many of these when they were around.

"General is super-hot," she giggled. "Same guy who was in a bunch of the dramas I've watched recently. And yeah, she still has a fiance, but he kept negging her about giving up her career, so his days are numbered anyway. We'll see if he ends up back in time, too."

He was totally going to end up back in time. These shows were trope-tastic.

"Oh man, there's going to be like, tons of close-up shots of them glowering at each other, right?" Dante said, immediately plastering himself to Anders' side.

And Kathy was just going to drape herself over both of them and snuggle in close because she couldn't possibly get enough of either.

"I'm about to revoke your K-drama watching privileges if you don't stop making fun," she threatened. "Lee Min Ho is prettier than both of you anyway."

That wasn't even slightly true. Dammit.

"And he might be a shitty snuggler," Dante said, his hands sliding over her legs and then up to her hips.

"There is no way a guy that perfect is shitty at snuggling," Kathy declared, her head cushioned against Anders' shoulder and running her nails down the back of Dante's neck. Oh god, she'd just missed touching them; missed reaching out and knowing one of them was right there. "How dare you sass my Hallyu boyfriend."

She never wanted to let them go.

"Something something Korean TV, right?" Dante asked, his fingers drawing idle patterns on Kathy's leg.

[personal profile] spin_kick_snap 2018-09-08 06:03 am (UTC)(link)
"The Korean Wave," Kathy said, grinning. "The spread of our culture to the rest of you heathens. Mostly through our superior music and TV shows. And our food. Soon we're going to own your souls through kimchi and barbeque."

"Next thing we know, we're gonna be in Hot Korean Jail," Dante said, making big eyes at Anders.

"For daring to sass the snuggling abilities High Lord Le Min Ho, it's the least you deserve," Kathy informed them. "But hey, your jail food is gonna be amazing."

"Trying to add another stop to our world travel plans?" Dante teased gently.

"Korea?" Kathy asked. "Ummm...not counting an hour trip as part of Eliot's class, I haven't been back since I was a kid. We used to go every summer, but then Dad lost his job in...sixth grade, I think? And I haven't been back since."

"We need to buy a world map," Dante opined. "Stick a bunch of pins into places we wanna ago."

[personal profile] spin_kick_snap 2018-09-11 05:12 am (UTC)(link)
Kathy had been planning to give Anders a kiss for the suggestion anyway, but it was the seriousness of his tone that turned it into a real kiss, her hands holding him close. "I would love to revisit Korea with you guys," she said when she pulled away and including Dante in her smile. "I won't even insist you learn the language first."

You know. Unless they wanted to.
