MCA #9 | Tuesday Morning

[knife_bender]

Diego was a gentleman last night and walked Annie home after her shift at the bar. What happened after wasn't very gentlemanly per se but it was enjoyed on both sides. Sleep happened eventually but only after what was probably considered an obscene amount of cuddling.

The cuddling thing was kind of still happening even while Diego was still asleep this morning. He had whatever limb he could wrapped around Annie. Maybe this was why his code name was The Kraken?

[For that girl]

"Tinsel and a Santa hat," he promised. "I suppose it's no use trying to convince you to not feel bad?"

"I mean." Annie cut her eyes to his, smiling slowly. "Not so bad that I wouldn't do it again."

As long as he really wasn't hurt!

"That's what I wanted to hear," he said, smiling. "I don't know if you could tell but I liked it a lot."

[defenderofdesmoines]

"I could tell," Annie assured him with a soft laugh, her cheeks coloring a little in spite of herself. "I had a feeling you might be into that."

She hadn't really anticipated being so into it herself, honestly.

“I’m going to have to return the favor sometime,” he teased, pressing a kiss to her neck. “I might not be able to hold you down but I’m definitely strong enough to pick you up.”

[defenderofdesmoines]

"Mmm." Okay, the prospect of Diego picking her up just opened up like, a whole world of possibilities in Annie's mind, and she'd just be over here biting her lip and obviously considering that for a second. "Yeah, you definitely could."

“Occasionally I am struck with a flash of brilliance,” he joked, wrapping an arm around her to get his cuddle on again. Seriously, Kraken had been an apt name.

That was another one of Diego's superpowers, obviously: cuddling.

"More than occasionally," Annie assured him, tucking herself close and pressing a kiss to his jaw. But yeah, she'd be kind of thinking about that him-picking-her-up thing all the time, now that the idea was in her head.
