SUPER DUPER clingy kate who practically sleeps on top of reader then when reader tells her to get off since she cant breathe, kate gives her the most sad puppy eyes ever😞
| wanna listen to the sound of you breathing
• pairing: kate martin x fem!reader
• summary: you’re just trying to watch tiktoks in bed when kate comes in and decides to take up all your space
• warnings: the fluffiest fluff ever
You were laying on your side scrolling through TikTok waiting for Kate to get home from practice. You were in the depths of your For You page when you heard the door open and your girlfriend call out for you, “Y/N!”
“I’m in here!” you yelled back, still keeping your eyes glued to the phone in front of you. The blonde then quickly entered your shared room, dropping her stuff to the floor before slithering her way into your arms. “You’re smelly,” you giggled, she was still wearing her practice clothes that had Aces written all over them.
Kate just laughed and snuggled herself closer to you, which you didn’t even think was possible. Her arms squeezed around your frame, attempting to pull you closer to her. For Kate it seemed that no matter how close you two were, it was never enough for her.
“Kate you’re gonna squeeze me to death,” you laughed, wrapping your own arms around her. She hummed in response, digging her head into the crook of your neck. You could feel her breathing slow as she started to fall into sleep, but that also meant that all of her dead weight was on top of you. “Kate,” you whispered to her, but got no response in return. Your hands started to play with the girls blonde hair, brushing it out of her peaceful face.
Her arms held you in place as well as her body on top of yours. Her being 6ft compared to your shorter frame, made it feel like she was crushing you. You tried gently tapping her to wake her up so she would at least move her lower body off of yours but she wouldn’t wake up.
“Kate, baby,” you continued tapping her until she let out a low hum. “You’re crushing me,” you ran your fingers through her long blonde hair.
“So?” she just moved her head further into your neck not getting up.
“You gotta get up.”
“I don’t wanna,” she replied sleepily. “You’re so comfy though.”
“Kate,” your voice was more stern this time and she finally lifted her head, her blue puppy dog-like eyes meeting yours. “No!” you shook your head, placing your hands over her eyes. Kate knew that if she wanted anything out of you she could just look at you with her perfect eyes and you would give in. “You gotta get up.”
Your girlfriend let out a massive groan as she pulled herself off of you and rolled over to the complete opposite side of the bed. “Fine,” she crossed her arms over her body before turning to lay on her stomach away from you.
“No need for dramatics,” you bit back your smile at Kate being so grumpy about having to get off you. You then pulled her by her arm back over to you and let her rest her head against your chest.
“I thought I was crushing you,” she rolled her eyes, but still laid down.
“Yeah when your entire six feet of muscle is sprawled out against me, you are crushing me,” you giggled, placing a kiss to her forehead.
“Mhm, whatever,” she replied snuggling closer to you. Her arm draped over you stomach as she pulled you into her side.
“I love you,” you placed another kiss, but this time on her cheek.
“I love you too, I guess,” she yawned, squeezing your hip.
allie’s corner
i just know kate is the clingiest person ever

Cops cite ‘freedom of speech’
An Israeli physics professor’s lecture at the University of Nevada Las Vegas was interrupted by anti-Israel protesters late last month, but campus cops refused to remove them — citing the First Amendment.
This led Professor Asaf Peer, who was discussing the topic of black holes, to ask “What about my freedom of speech?”
According to The Jerusalem Post, Peer was but a mere quarter-hour into his lecture when the shouting protesters (pictured) “burst into the room […] with banners and flags.”
Protesters’ placards commemorated Islamic University of Gaza physicist Sufyan Tayeh (killed in a December Israeli airstrike) and accused Peer of getting his physics degree in “illegally occupied” territory via the 1948 Nakba.
In an edited video of the incident (below), a protester accuses Peer of “spreading violent rhetoric” on his Facebook account, and tells his students they should “all be ashamed of themselves.”
An Instagram statement by the UNLV chapter of Nevadans for Palestinian Liberation calls Peer an “anti Palestinian [sic] academic with extremist views” and a “genocide apologist.”
Peer, from Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, actually invited the activists to remain to learn about black holes and then discuss “unrelated issues” after his lecture.
But the demonstrators continued their antics, leading to the UNLV police to be called in. (No word if Peer’s lecture topic was an issue for the protesters.)

The police had a discussion with the lecture’s organizer and ultimately decided to end Peer’s talk and escort him off campus for his “safety.”
Nevada Current reports UNLV Director of Public Affairs Francis McCabe said Peer’s lecture was an “open lecture as part of a public physics symposium.”
But according to the UNLV Policy on Speech and Advocacy in Public Areas, it doesn’t appear anyone can just shut down academic lectures:
[Free speech] activities must not, however, unreasonably interfere with the right of the University to conduct its affairs in an orderly manner and to maintain its property, nor may they interfere with the University’s obligation to protect rights of all to teach, study, and fully exchange ideas. Physical force, the threat of force, or other coercive actions used to subject anyone to a speech of any kind is expressly forbidden.
Members of the UNLV Jewish Faculty and Student Group and the local Anti-Defamation League pointed out free speech doesn’t mean “interruptions of academic opportunities,” and that targeting Peer due of his national origin is “unacceptable.”
UNLV President Keith Whitfield said in a statement the university is investigating the matter “to help determine how [it] can better handle such situations in the future.”
