Katey blushed. "Well, you see, I was having one of my panics and I like rushed out of my room and the door banged on the wall and Percy came out of the kitchen and like he was all, 'Are you okay? Should I call someone?' and he got me some water and I told him not to bother, and then I explained the whole needing someone to sleep with me bit and he didn't seem to get it, and then I kind of had to explicitly ask him to get into my bed and at the very least wait until I was asleep. But then he agreed, and he was really sweet about it and was just like, 'come on, let's go to bed' like it was no big deal."

"Very gentlemanly." Nikki commented. Katey just shrugged. "Yeah, I guess." She moved to sit in the bathtub where Nikki joined her. "Do you think you like him?" Nikki asked. Katey sighed and shrugged again. "I don't know, I mean, I'm not like you where I start to fall for I guy the first or second day I meet him, you know? Not that there's anything wrong with that, don't give me that fucking look," Katey remarked, returning her friends glare. "He's definitely a really nice guy, but we really haven't spent all that much time together for me to have really formed a solid opinion."

Nikki nodded but snorted behind her hand. "Other than, you know, sleeping together."

Katey leaned forward and lightly slapped the side of her best friend's face. "Yeah, but we literally slept, Nikki. I only have sex with strangers in clubs." The blonde grimaced and rubbed her face with her hands while
Nikki deadpanned. "I did not mean for that to sound as bad as it did. Holy fuck. What I mean is he's still kind of a stranger to me, and I only have sex with strangers when I'm drunk and in a club." She sighed. "That wasn't much better, was it?"

Nikki shook her head. "Not really. But hey, at least you're being honest. Although I'd be able to tell if you were lying. So anyway! Maybe you guys should hang out? Like by yourselves? Find out what he likes to do, what he wants to be, what he's doing in the fall, you know, shit like that."

Katey nodded. "I guess you're right. I don't know, isn't asking to hang out just us two kind of obvious though? Or it would be if I liked him."

Nikki reached forward and held her friend's face in her hands. "Listen to me, you oblivious little shit. There's some sort of some kind of feeling in you for Percy. Do you not remember what you were telling me yesterday before we went clubbing? About how muscly arms and how perfect he was?" Katey began to argue that those statements were based entirely on his appearance, but Nikki stopped her.

"I mean, you trusted him enough to not only help you with the morning-after routine, but to help you with your panic. That's a big deal. No one other than me, Wart, and Leon have ever helped you with that. None of us have helped you with the fucking pancakes. The only reason I went to that stupid Salem school was so that I could be there for you when you panic. You know that. Now, don't give me that, you knew I hated it and I was only there because I love you."

"And thank you for that." She took Nikki's hands from her face and leaned back over the edge of the tub. "I guess…I mean, something about him, I just trust him. Like, maybe it's because he's friends with Wart and Leon so obviously they trust him enough to stay with us, you know? And so if they trust him, I should too? I mean, ugh, there's just something about him!"

"Something that makes you want to fuck him and cuddle on the couch together all at the same time? Trust me, I know the feeling. Now, let's get the fuck out of this tub, get dressed, and go do something with the guys. Let's see a movie! And Lance can invite Gwen!"

"Sounds like a plan." Katey agreed, pulling herself out of the tub and pulling her hair into a ponytail. She and Nikki walked out into the living room, where they boys were all sitting watching some sort of pop culture news program. "Hey guys!" Katey called their attention away from the screen. "So, we were thinking, do you guys wanna see a movie today? Like, the whole lot of us? And we want you to invite Gwen, Lance, cause we really want to meet her."

"I just have a question." Elyan said, raising his hand. "Do you two always think of what you want to do, like as a team?"

Katey nodded. "Of course. We're twins, you know." She said, laughing. Nikki agreed, "I was born a few hours after she was, and our mothers were in rooms next to each other. We've done everything together since birth, you see. School, shopping, learning to ride bikes and drive and text and you name it, we've done it together. Mostly." They shared a glance and burst into a fit of giggles.

"The very best of friends." Katey smiled. "So, movies? Yay or nay?"

"Sure! Sex Tape is playing at the Electric, we should go and rent the beds in the front. They're the best way to watch a movie." Leon commented. Lancelot nodded, getting up and saying, "Yeah, I'll go text Gwen now. She loves going to see films."

Arthur got up from his seat on the couch and pulled his own cell from his pants pocket. "So it's decided then? We'll go to the cinemas?" Elyan, Perce, and Gwaine all nodded. "Alright. I'll call the cinema now to reserve the beds, yeah?" He stepped out onto the balcony to make the phone call. Katey took his spot on the couch between Leon and Percival.

"Sex Tape, huh Leon?" She inquired, smirking. He looked at her, mockingly astonished. "Why, Katey! I am offended!" She laughed at him. "But no, I heard it was hilarious and I've wanted to see it because, woo, Cameron Diaz."

Katey laughed at him some more while Percy and Gwaine both looked at him somewhat questioningly. "Really, Leon? Cameron Diaz? I took you for a man who liked dark-haired, green-eyed women who share a certain parentage with our dear-" Leon leapt across the couch towards Gwaine, covering the offender's mouth with his hands. "Not a word, Gwaine. Not. A. Single. Word."

Katey and Nikki exchanged a 'what the fuck is happening' look. "Um, Leon? What aren't you telling us?" Nikki asked him accusingly. He glanced over at her, still holding his palm over Gwaine's mouth. "Absolutely nothing. Gwaine here just enjoys running his mouth a little too – ugh you sick bastard, don't lick me!"

"He does that." Nikki said, a little too nonchalantly, and everyone's eyes turned to her. Leon's hands dropped from Gwaine's lips to wipe them on his shorts and Gwaine moved away to drape himself around Nikki, whose cheeks burned red. "That's my girl." He said, smirking at Leon and licking his lips rather lecherously. Leon shuddered.

"Uh, anyway…I agree with Leon, I heard it was really good." Percival offered, spreading his arms over the back of the couch. "Do they really have beds?" Katey asked, pulling one leg up to hug it to her chest. The boys all nodded. "Yeah, and they're huge." Gwaine remarked. "They even give you these super soft blankets." Elyan added.

"I call sharing with Nikki!" Gwaine suddenly called out. Before she even knew what was happening, the boys had paired themselves off and Katey was left to have a bed to herself. "Cool guys, I don't like cuddling anyway."

"Yes, you do." Several voices piped up, including Percival. She turned to face him, a blush rising on her cheeks. "Excuse you, you don't really have anything to go on there, do you?" He chuckled. "I seem to remember waking up this morning, and I really, really had to piss, mind you," He laughed even harder at the face she made upon this announcement, "and you were somewhat clinging to me. But, being the gentleman that I am, I laid there so I wouldn't wake you up."

Arthur, Leon and Nikki all burst into gales of laughter, each of them having also been victim to her aggressive sleep cuddles. "Kat, you're quite the cuddle monster." Katey's cheeks burned even hotter at Arthur's remark. "Shut up, Wart." She hissed, extremely embarrassed, locking her gaze in her lap. "Why don't I invite someone else and I'll have someone to fucking be a so-called cuddle monster with, and then no one has to worry about me." She bit out. She got up and stormed into her room, slamming the door behind her. Punching in the number she'd neglected to give to Arthur, she waited until Merlin's perky voice answered with, "Hullo?"

"Hi Merlin! It's Katey Pendragon, from yesterday in the tea shop?" She could hear the realization dawn in his voice, "Oh! Sorry, m'hungover a bit from last night. Went out partying and met up with some bloke, and I'm really only just waking up. Gone before I woke up, the wanker."

She huffed. "I know the feeling. So listen, hun, my friends and I, including my dear cousin Arthur, are going to see Sex Tape later at Electric cinemas and we have an odd number of people and we're renting out the beds and I wanted to know if you wanted to come? I don't have anyone to share with."

He hummed. "I suppose that sounds good." She smiled. "Great! I'll text you the details and we'll meet you there? Look for Wart and me, okay?" He said alright and they hung up, and Katey proceeded to stay in her room until someone came and knocked on her door.

"Go away." She grumbled, still upset at being embarrassed earlier. Nikki opened her door anyway, shouting, "Come on you big baby! You know we weren't trying to be mean. Don't be such a little shit! Also, did you invite whoever you said you were going to?" Leon, Arthur, and Percival appeared in the doorway. Katey's cheeks still burned as she turned her nose up at their apology. "Yes, I did. It's the boy I met at the tea shop yesterday." She looked directly at Nikki when she said this, whose eyes widened like saucers.

Arthur looked at her, surprised. "I didn't know you met anyone yesterday. And I know you came home last night because if you'd have been out when you had your attack you would've called one of us instead of…say, you never told me what happened last night."

"Percival helped her." Nikki and Leon chimed together. Arthur looked back at Percival questioningly, but Percy just shrugged. Katey huffed. "He's just a friend. He's gay, actually." She mentioned, eyeing Arthur to gauge his reaction. To her and Nikki's disappointment, he seemed only slightly miffed about this development. "Alright, well, just tell him to meet us at the cinema at seven and that we're going for dinner after the movie." He turned and left. Nikki and Leon shot her a wary glance before following suit, leaving only Percival standing in the doorway.
