It was probably another really bad idea, one of the ones she wasn't going to be able to tell Danny about, but ever since Hannibal had brought up hunting dinosaurs, Kate kind of hadn't been able to get it out of her head. She wasn't bringing her gun -- as far as she was concerned, it wasn't even hers anymore, she didn't want it -- but she figured he'd take care of that part of the trip. Since hunting seemed to be a thing he'd done in the past, she trusted that he wasn't going to expect her to wrestle one down with her bare hands. She'd sooner climb a giant tree to get out of its way than actually try to take down a dinosaur.

Still, she was going. And she wasn't trying to look especially cute, but Effy's makeup had been there and if she'd put on a little, it was only because it was available. Besides, she was just naturally cute, she couldn't help it. She definitely wasn't going out of her way. Not for dinosaur hunting.

She couldn't very well wear flip flops for this, which was pretty much the only thing she wore, so she'd spent the day before hunting through the box until it had given her a pair of running shoes both suitable and not terribly ugly. Sitting on the front step of her hut, she laced the shoes as she waited for Hannibal, wondering if she should have told someone where she was going. Just in case the two of them got eaten or stuck in a tree or something.

For a second there, Kate had been totally sure he was going to kiss her and she was suddenly very aware of her heart hammering away in her chest, though that could have been due to the threat of a snake. If there was really a snake behind her, she wasn't sure she actually cared all that much, given how close Hannibal was, but she also wasn't entirely sure he was just giving her a hard time.

"Okay," she murmured, doing exactly what he'd told her to, even if she was sure she wasn't going to get very far. "Just let me know when the snake's gone." Because there was something she had to do.

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal slowly guided her away from the snake, which didn't seem all that interested in them once it realized they were going to just go away and leave it where it was. He considered killing it just because fuck snakes, but decided that was an asshole thing to do, even if it did have fangs.

"Okay, we're clear," he said, moving a step away and resuming walking at a normal pace. "See? Absolutely not going to let you die."

She wasn't going to get eaten by a dinosaur, because one way or another, she didn't think they were going to make it there. Either this would make the entire situation really awkward or they were going to find something else to do and Kate was really hoping that it didn't end up being the awkward option. She stopped walking and put her hand on Hannibal's arm to stop him as well.

"Just a second," she said, looking past him into the jungle as if she was seeing something behind him. It was only fair, really, that she pull the same move, even if he had really been saving her from a snake. Leaning close, resting one hand against his stomach, her mouth brushing his cheek, she whispered, "There's totally not a snake behind you and I'm just using this as an excuse to get close to you." And it was definitely working out in her favour.

[hellomynameisfu]

Well fuck, this was... nope, not awkward, it was totally hot. She felt really good pressed against him that close. Fuck, she even smelled really nice. Also, she touched really nice.

"I think, there is absolutely a snake. In my trousers. A trouser snake," he said, which was totally not the absolutely smooth thing he wanted to say. "I mean, close. Close is good. You feel nice all close."

Just to show he meant it, Hannibal put an arm around her and pulled her a bit closer.

[everyone_takes]

Kate laughed, though she wasn't at all surprised he'd said something like that and she pressed against him easily when his arm went around her. Tilting her head slightly, she pulled back a little, just enough that she could find his mouth with hers, figuring there was no sense in pretending now, not when she was pressed against him in the middle of the jungle. Her hand on his stomach slid up, over his chest and then around his neck as she kissed him. This was definitely turning into another day she couldn't tell anyone else about, not if she wanted to avoid a lecture, but she kind of didn't care. It was absolutely worth it.

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal kissed her back roughly, other hand going around her waist to pull her even closer. This was probably a really bad idea. She was young and obviously a little... not normal. The fact that this was a bad idea in general made it that much harder for Hannibal to resist though, since bad ideas were basically his type.

Plus, she was a good kisser. Okay, a great kisser. Also, again, probably a really bad idea.

[everyone_takes]

Even as they kissed, Kate was totally aware of the fact that they were in the middle of the jungle and he was carrying a lot of guns and she had a grenade, but she was also aware of the fact that he was by far the hottest guy she'd ever made out with. And she wasn't about to stop just because of a few guns.

She was fitted against him and she pressed against him harder, moving them backwards blindly, looking for the tree she'd seen there just before she kissed him.

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal backed up, stumbling as he tried to focus on both walking and making out with Kate, which was a lot harder to do that he would have though. He kind of liked her pushing him around like that. Definitely no mixed signals there.

He grunted when they bumped up against the tree and his hands slid down to grip her pleasantly firm ass, giving a low growl as he pulled back a bit to break the kiss.

"Just so we're in agreement, we both think this is a terrible idea but we're doing it anyway, right?"

[everyone_takes]

"Totally terrible idea, totally doing it anyway," Kate agreed, a little breathless already, her lips trailing along his jaw when he broke the kiss. "I mean, maybe not out here, because I'm not into bugs crawling all over me, but still totally doing it."

Her place wasn't that far behind them, really, and she was pretty sure both Carla Jean and Reggie would be gone for awhile. Although, realistically, if he insisted they stay right where they were, she'd probably agree.

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal felt weirdly better once she also acknowledged that it was a really bad idea, like that somehow made it slightly more okay somehow. He wasn't sure why, and maybe it was because she was still kissing him, but it seemed not so bad now.

"Okay, your place," he said, pulling her up for another quick kiss. "But I call dibs on running behind you so I can check out your ass."

[everyone_takes]

"But then what am I supposed to look at?" she asked, backing away from him with a grin and starting back in the direction of her hut. She'd make him take her to hunt dinosaurs another time, because that was an adventure she didn't want to skip completely, but this was turning out to be way more important than throwing a grenade at a dinosaur.

Looking back over her shoulder, she said, "How about we trade halfway back."

[hellomynameisfu]

"You are a naughty little minx," Hannibal accused before grinning broadly at her. Bad idea? Yes. Really fun time? Guaranteed. This was way, way better than hunting dinosaurs.

"But okay, halfway back we trade," he said, jogging after her.

[everyone_takes]

"It's only fair," she said with a grin, then started hurrying toward her place. The sooner they got there, the sooner they could continue what they had started out in the jungle and she was really looking forward to that. Someone would probably tell her that hooking up with Hannibal wasn't going to make her miss Harry any less than hooking up with Tunny had, but she didn't care. What she wanted was distraction.

"Okay, switch," she said, turning abruptly and moving until she was behind him.

[hellomynameisfu]

As they switched, Hannibal leaned in and kissed her hard again, feeling a rush surge through him at the contact of his lips on hers. He continued to run at the same pace back to her hut, even though he wanted to sprint as fast as he could to get there. It was good to draw it out, because the anticipation had him rock hard by the time they reached her place.

"I feel like I should have worn shorter shorts for you," Hannibal confessed.

[everyone_takes]

"You probably should have," Kate agreed, pushing open the door of her hut with her shoulder. Chang was there, wagging his tail, but she nudged him outside before he could get too excited. Taking a quick glance around proved she'd been right, no one else was home. Before anyone could get there, she grabbed the front of Hannibal's shirt and pulled him into another kiss, then began to walk backward toward her room. This was sort of breaking her own rule, one she'd made up when interviewing for potential roommates, but since no one else was home, she hoped they wouldn't even find out.

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal slid a hand through her hair as they kissed, feeling his skin heat up with desire as he pressed her close to him. The hairs on the back of his neck stood up as she back up, her body moving against his.

Once they were in what appeared to be her room, Hannibal shrugged off his shoulder holster and unstrapped the two holsters on the side of his legs, along with divesting the extra grenades and knives he'd brought.

"Didn't expect this to happen so I didn't wear my stripper dino-hunter outfit where everything is break way," he explained.

[everyone_takes]

Kate nudged the door shut, though she wasn't completely paying attention, her focus drawn to Hannibal taking off his various weapons. "No, it's okay," she said. "There's something weirdly hot about watching you take off all your guns." Definitely weirdly hot, given how much she really didn't like guns, but he wasn't using them and he clearly wasn't planning on using them. "I think it's all the straps."

Whatever it was, it didn't matter. She was enjoying the view and she kicked off her runners before returning to Hannibal, running both her hands up the expanse of his chest.

[hellomynameisfu]

"I would say I'm even turning myself on with it but I'm pretty sure that's all you," he said, dropping the last of his weapons to the floor. Her touche was good, even in the tropical heat they seemed warm against his body.

He leaned in and kissed her mouth again before trailing down her neck, sucking and nibbling as he want, his hands reaching down to squeeze her ass again. Damn she had a great ass.

[everyone_takes]

"It's good to know I'm here for something," she teased, grinning a little as he grabbed her ass and she tilted her head, giving him better access to her throat. Her hands slid down again, then under the hem of his shirt, fingers splayed against his stomach. "God, how is this even real?" she asked, fingers curling under a little, her nails scraping lightly at his skin. No one looked like that. Even on the island, where everyone was gorgeous and perfect, this was a pretty serious stretch.

[hellomynameisfu]

"Pretty sure by the fact that you're hot and it's a bad idea. I'm pretty much compelled to have sex in that situation," he said, hissing in pleasure as her nails scraped against his skin. That felt good.

Pulling back a bit, he peeled his shirt off and tossed it away, wanting more and more contact with her. He mimicked her movements, hands sliding up under her shirt to feel the flat planes of her stomach.

[everyone_takes]

She pulled back far enough to tug her tank top over her head, her hair getting caught for a moment and then tumbling over her shoulder as she tossed the shirt aside. He really was ridiculously attractive and Kate pressed forward, kissing him again, her fingers dragging down to rest at the waist of his pants. Outside, Chang barked once, but she ignored him, knowing he had a tendency to bark at trees or rodents or anything that passed by. It was probably nothing and right now, all she wanted was right here.

[not_so_smooth]

Sam hadn't thought much when he originally saw Kate head into her hut with a guy. He hadn't even been spying or checking up on her, exactly. That time he had honestly just been walking past her hut on the way to his. It wasn't until he was almost to his hut that everything clicked. She probably wasn't taking the guy in there to show him her scrapbooks of the island.

Shit. Now he had a major dilemma, because he promised Kate he'd watch out for her and not let her do anything stupid. She was 100% allowed to sleep with whoever she wanted, of course. But if she was drunk or high or something because she was upset about Harry leaving and thus not making good decisions, that he considered the type of stupid thing he was supposed to prevent. Only he didn't know if she was any of those things.

Be a potential cockblock and good friend doing their duty, or let it go and potentially be an asshole friend? No contest, good friend won every time. Plus, he figured being so conflicted about it was sort of punishment in case he was wrong.

Chang barked at him once as he came up, which he figured was a good warning sign to whoever was inside.

"Kate!" Sam called out, banging on the door. "Kate please don't hate me but I'm making sure you're not doing something stupid. Did I mention please don't hate me?"

[everyone_takes]

Kate was in the middle of pressing Hannibal back toward her bed when she heard Sam's voice and the banging on the door. Her eyes flew open and she froze, mouth still pressed to Hannibal's, her hands still at his waist. She knew exactly why Sam was here, she'd told him to stop her from doing anything stupid and while this was absolutely stupid, she still wanted to do it.

"Shit," she hissed, pulling back enough to look at Hannibal. "Most importantly, that's not my boyfriend, so you don't have to go anywhere."

[hellomynameisfu]

Hannibal had barely even noticed the sound of someone banging on the door, having been a bit preoccupied with other things. Apparently it was enough to pull Kate out of her groove though.

"Uh, okay. I'll just be here. Hanging out while you go talk to your friend. Tell him hi for me?"

[not_so_smooth]

"Kate, please don't make me break down the door," Sam said, no longer pounding on the door as he waited semi-patiently for her to open it.

"Mostly because I don't know if I could and would probably get hurt."
