changing woman, osiris

Who: Rick and Kami, part 2
What: Rick doesn't take avoidance tactics very well, finds a rather direct method of getting some of Kami's time.
Where: Kami's doorstep, possibly elsewhere afterwards
When: Monday October 18th, later evening.
Warnings: NO IDEA, will warn if need be.

In spite of prior disappointments over the past few days, it was old promises of cookies and her invigorating smiles kept Rick checking in on the apartment #607, the one that belonged to his coworker...well, belonged to Kami, at least. That didn't matter, not really. It had been over a week now, nearly two, since he got to really talk to her.

And now, he wasn't in the mood for being deterred again. Rick got down on his hands and knees and peered under the door. None of the lights in the apartment were out, clearly. He didn't think she was hiding, just was gone for now. Work? He wasn't sure. He even briefly wondered if he had the wrong place, but he smelled lingering warmth and cookies in the air and that was enough to confirm his gut instinct.

Problem was, once Rick was on the floor, he couldn't think of a good reason to get up again. His legs ached from being up and performing all day at the shows, and from expended a little bit of worry on Kami, a floodgate of other exhaustions decided to roll in as well. He'd just stretch his legs out a little bit, really. It helped that the floor was no longer old wooden planks, or smoothed marble, or a dusty desert-scape, and even if the carpet was questionably sanitary, at least it was cozy. Rick pushed his gym bag under his head, fished out something to read, and decided that he'd hang out just for a little while, to see if he could catch her on her way in or something. If she didn't show up, whatever, he'd just get upstairs and go to sleep. So he thought.

And then, as these good ideas tend to go, a busted up health magazine over his face saved only a shred of his dignity as he lay snoring in front of Kami's door.

He grabbed the doorknob and used it to ease himself upright. His other hand was over his hair, trying to erase hints of being a hobo out of it. "More comfy than that carpet? You're as good as they say." Rick grabbed the handle of his sports bag and dragged himself out of her way. The back of his hand stifled a leftover yawn. "So where're you coming from, this late?"

	Without an immediate, easy answer at hand, Kami shook her head. Then she tipped sideways to lean into Rick's solid warmth and turned her face into his shoulder. "I miss it," she muttered, words muffled. "I miss working with you and singing the songs and dancing. You were one of my favorite parts." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think the dumber, the better." The food was more than enough to pull him out of his slouch, grinning and leaning towards her food. His eyes flashed up towards hers. "Are you kidding, Kami? Everything here looks good, but if it's all the same to you..." Rick then picked up his brownie, and tipped it towards her in a cheers manner. "Dessert first." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Never seen it, but I'll trust you." He smiled, and settled into the couch for a good, relaxing night. Quite an upgrade from the carpet of a hallway, he thought. "It's cool. Show me this, and I'll consider us made up." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
