Author's Note: Wowee, it's late. I need to sleep, ahahah.

While the steps up to the Ranger School seemed to be an eternity, up to the dorms was even worse. It wasn't that I was feeling sluggish; it was just that I wanted to be done with the day and go to bed. However, the mounds of teenagers on beanbags and in chairs in the lobby of the dorms prevented that-. Wait, what?

I stopped to look again at the lobby in the dorm. Sure enough, every member of our classes but Keith and I were sitting in front of a large-screen TV, with a few looking back at Keith and I. Isaac appeared to be trying to get everyone to select a movie, and had just noticed us walk in.

"Keith, Kate! You're here!" He exclaimed.

"Wow, it only took you all day to get here! We've already made it through one movie!" Rhythmi teased. Keith laughed.

"Sorry, we were busy impressing Rangers with our insane capture skills!" For a show, Keith performed his Ranger pose right then.

"What's going on? Is this some party we weren't invited to?" I asked. Rhythmi waved me off.

"No, Janice is allowing us to have a big movie night! Like…" She turned to Isaac, who in turn held up more movies. "Isaac's expedites with Altru and going back home for a day means he has all these movies, and it took some convincing, but…" She smiled in self-appreciation. "Janice is letting us all be out here tonight." I grinned widely. "Only problem is, we have one beanbag left. Meaning…" she giggled some. "You are Keith will have to share one!" I looked at him, and shrugged.

"Let me get changed. I'm fine with that." He said. I nodded my head in agreement, slipping into the empty dorm room and peeling off my uniform and putting on more suitable clothes for movie viewing. When I came back out to the lobby, a DVD menu was present, and there was a large empty beanbag – presumably the only one Rhythmi was talking about.

I went to sit in it comfortably, but my efforts were sabotaged by Keith jumping into the beanbag with all of his force. I laughed at him, which was returned with a displeased look. He sprawled out to stretch and make himself comfortable, then moved over so there was enough space for another person. My face flushed.

In order to fit another person onto the beanbag, they'd have to be leaning up against each other.

"Come on, Kate. The beanbag is fine." He said, rubbing the beanbag in a seductive manner. Again, I laughed. This was Keith; I had nothing to be embarrassed about. So, I stepped on the beanbag, and sat next to him. Gently, he wrapped his arm around me as the movie began. I remained rigid, rather than lean into him.

"Katie, I don't bite. It's okay to snuggle up." He teased quietly, trying to pull me in. Again, my face flushed, but this time I complied. Focusing on what was playing on the screen was semi difficult, with Keith stroking my hair and my head close enough to his chest to practically hear his heartbeat. I had a feeling it was just as fast as mine.

"I'm glad I met you."

At some point during the movie, he whispered in my ear and kissed me on the cheek. Had I not been so nervous, I would've kissed him right back.
