Knock it off!

"Fuck!" Kat shouted suddenly, making Dani jump. She stomped on the floor in an almost childlike gesture of anger. "I didn't want any of this shit! I- I- I can barely think straight! Every fucking time I think I'm starting to get a tiny grasp on this, you say a bunch of crazy shit!"

Dani was rubbing small, rapid circles under her right shoulder blade. She leaned in close to better hear her roommate's tirade.

"I can't handle this!" Kat cried. "Any of it! Why are you so fucking logical?"

Dani was staring at her, eyes wide. "To help you understand-"

"You fucking suck at that!" Kat interrupted. "Why do you think I want a fucking robot Spock calculator? Maybe I just need someone who can comfort me! Help me feel better! Make me a nice meal or give me a little treat, not all this Sherlock Holmes bullshit!"

Dani blinked with surprise. "Really?"

"Yes!"

Dani's eyes swam out of focus. "Ok. Ohhhhh, kayyyyy." Her head dropped and Kat grabbed her shoulders to steady her.

"Whoa! Hey, Dan, you ok?"

Dani looked up suddenly, the playful glint in her eye replaced with a dull sheen of adoration.

"Yeah," she said mildly. "I suppose I am."
