Chapter Text
“You don’t understand, Katie,” Travis whined, resting his head against his girlfriend’s shoulder, “How am I going to look him in the eye at work?”
Katelyn smile, patting his head as she pressed her floor number, watching the elevator door shut. After the night they had, feelings both eventful and somewhat tiresome yet… really, she wanted some closure and a soft bed. It’s not every day where the two of them actively undermining each other while simultaneously pushing the same goal—and the fact, over the course of the night, their focus shifted to their jobs of wing-manning Laurance and Vylad’s complicated dance around each other.
She loved her friends, that was an obvious fact… but hushing Travis’s worried ramblings, she led him instead her apartment, making him glance curiously at her.
“We did the best we could,” she said, slipping out of her heels, “And look— isn’t this good? They’re adults and both single, they have it under control.” She rolled her neck, massaging it as her other hand started to take out the pins in her hair.
Travis gave her a conflicted look, believing her but the worry wasn’t lifted from his shoulders, “You’re… you’re right. I should calm down.” He sighed, walking over her and wrapping his arms around her, burying his face in her hair, “Remind me to make up tonight to you.”
She softened, turning to face him in his loose grasp, “Don’t worry about it. I’m just as guilty with the… whole… you know.” He leaned into her touch as she cradled his face, and she kisses him a soft, chaste one. “Now help me out of this dress.”
His expression shifts, “Oh?”
Katelyn rolled her eyes, “The zipper is on the back, you dork.” She paused, pursing her lips in amusement, and softly whispered, “I guess that came out a little sexier than I intended.”
“You tease—did you say that on purpose?”
She laughed, fiddling with his tie. “Travis, you know when I’m teasing. That was unintentional— but…”
He smirked, his hand smoothing down her backside as he raised a brow, “Miss Katelyn, are you suggesting what I think you’re suggesting?” She snorted when he proceed to waggle his eyebrow.
“If you’re thinking about joining me in bed, then I delighted to say yes.”
The path to her room was clumsier and clothing decorating the hall leading to it, their giggles and whispers disappearing behind the bedroom door.
